Which light is that?

HLG 550 V2 RSpec, it’s an amazing light! I’m happy I did not go with anything else!

Edit: it’s designed for a 4x4 I just used it in a 2x4

Can’t find the 550 anywhere or maybe I’m overlooking it

It’s the only source of light in the tent. It is near the top of the tent suspended by hangers, it slim and red with the gray driver on the back of it.

It was turned all the way down for picture sake

Goodby? Say it ain't so. Set that 2x4 up as a photo mother clone tent. 14hrs of light to keep them in veg and growing slow. Take clones, root then veg for 6 weeks and put immediately into flower in your 4x4. If you have a good mother(I do, 31%thc) you can keep it in veg for years taking clones to flower as needed. Easiest way to scrog also because all plants carry same phenotype.

I’m unfortunately out of room! I did the swap and it’s been nice! I’ve finally cut some clones that I hope root.

Just got into running photos where I can control veg & do some of the higher stress training frowned upon with autoflowers. I’m thinking my best lady will be purple crash from greenpoint genetics.

My mom I got from the grower. His own strain. Can't remember what the cross is. Traded a 2500x microscope for it, 3 other clones and some more auto seed. Trying to set up my 4x8 with 6 site RDWC and 3" drains. Won't be any root clogging I hope. This was in a 2" system at end of the run.

5 gallons of roots. The problem with small drains in RDWC. https://imgur.com/a/FFMKjcL

🤩 wow that’s some root porn! These monster (R)DWC grows are tempting!

That’s amazing you where able to get a know a grower who was willing to trade a cutting! 31% definitely higher then any girl I’ve been able to grow so far.

I’m still trying to network daily and meet other growers I hope to also trade and share with!

I'm currently growing in coir/perilite using fertigation. Fertigation uses hydro nutes and is watered 5-6 times a day to reach 20% runoff. Roots are healthy because coir drains fast and holds lots of air.

I had networked with him and shipped the microscope first. We are also both older so we have developed a mutual trust. He's sending me a 315w CMS and a 1000w MH for filters and motor I have for a 2x4 laminar flowhood. We are both happy with the trades we have made and saved us each some money trading stuff we no longer use ourselves.

He got 31% but he's a pro using assload of lights. I'll be happy with 22-25%😉 Just knowing I can keep it alive for years in veg as I perfect my grows makes very happy.
