I've been lurking since my first grow and am well into my 12th or more now. I've just upgraded my room with a complete Co2 System for a 6'x6' growing area and my new Fluence (Formerly BML) SpyderX Plus LED should be arriving by June 1. I currently use a 1000w MH to week 6 then HPS for the finish but the electric costs are huge and with summer coming I decided to take a chance. I use my own soil mixture of peat, vermiculite, and my own compost with General Hydro nutrients. I have been growing Red Poison for over 2 years now and average about 1.3- 2 ounces/plant. Others do better but I've grown enough for a baseline.
My research has led me to believe that the old BML Spydr was the best option on the market. The price tag of $2,300 kept me at bay though. The new model is more efficient, higher ppfd, lower heat annnnnnd is only $1,500. I decided to document my grow here because it looks as though I am the first member to get this light. I'll keep you updated on my energy costs and of course pictures of my ladies. It's time I gave back.
ETA to Germination is 4 weeks.
In the mean time I'll journal the end of this red poison grow and discuss what I've learned about this amazing plant. I mean you really have to love a strain to grow it for 2 years.
Here is hoping I dont fuck it up. Also I am in NO WAY affiliated with any manufacturers or vendors. Just a guy who likes to garden.
Let me know If you have any questions or anything else you'd like me to pay closer attention to and document as well.
I am EXCITED.
