And I am getting the feeling there is a couple of people that is feeling the same. I want more people to grow and I just feel that for some people the investment is to big. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will I need 2 perhaps? They say you need 30watts per square foot. 30 x 16 = 480watt Check out led gardener's DIY strip light page. I run a 525w fluence and then 240w on each side in a 2.4x2.4 tent. I only use about 1.5x1.5 of the tent. Will do 4 plants in there going forward.

This is the part I've been stuck on as it would be too tight a fit if you just doubled each strip to 120cm.Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Depends on which strrips you are using. You get the 112cm strips or the 56cm strips. I would build it 115cm by 90cm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split a 10 pack of seeds between 5 people and it looks like I got the only pheno like this. Tall and stretchy like the Slurricane and tastes like kush mints. My other pheno is more indica, like the platimun. But frosty like the slurri. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Not a lot of leaf on that plant, must be a pleasure to trim! For a sugarcane, one expects a bit more frost but that still looks really good and may be better to have a pheno which is quick to trim but has a little less frost. Looks tasty! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me this was the best InHouse plant so far. But I still have to grow out a couple. In veg atm. Dirty Banana Garlic Sherbet Lemon Sorbet And Zurple Punch is 3 weeks into flower. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I do prefer the pheno that I have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Deluxe Sugar Cane will be my personal new favorite for evenings on the couch. I love it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batista Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 So I ended up going for another acdc floodlight to add to the existing 150w I bought last year. Here is where it gets interesting, the new module is bigger and the leads more spaced out for more or less the same price of the old model. Does anyone know what leds these things use?
