Invisible Sun.. Impressed

Post by exordium »

So upgraded my tent to the invisible Sun, I am impressed; It is so bright

It has a controller on it, how bright should I have it?

I have 3 Autoflowers in kitchen roll at the moment. Get them germinating.

Gonna put them in coco coir, perlite and nutrient mix

My first grow was a disaster.

Any tips for autoflower I welcome

They are bright aren't they

I use invis lights and I starts with power at about 30% and slowly increase as plantbgets bigger and can take more light.

Which light to you have? I have the ish150br and a 4r both of which never go up to full power

Good luck they are brillant lights

I use mine on lowest and only 1 light in a 1.2 to begin, then 2 on lowest up to flip. flip and full whack.
The plants will tell you what they need with stretch/lack of and leaf colour. Be careful, its easy to fry them to begin with... watch for the leaves yellowing and if they are, turn it down a bit.
If your used to HPS etc youl also notice ( at least in my case ) you need calmag every feed more or less, and a lot higher EC than hps.

Good luck, its like learning to grow all over again and can be tricky BUT youl save a fortune in leccy and imo have better quality buds.

I run my leccy through a digital meter so I know what everything is drawing, I’ve got a 4r and start off with it at 80w when increase it as they get bigger, I don’t take it about 250w, good luck they are great lights

Use a lux meter. It takes the guess work out.
The most accurate way of doing it is with a PAR meter but they cost mega bucks. A lux meter is a cheap way of checking your light intensity.
You can use an app or buy a meter for about £25.
The numbers to aim for are:

Seedlings 5000 to 7000 lux

Veg 15000 to 50000 lux

Flower 45 to 65000 lux.

The max is 75000 anymore than that is too much for most plants.Image

Well I've been running 2 x 265's on full power since the off flat out both are, I'm getting a rampant growth rate and the plants simply love it ewe need sunglasses though, i will soon be adding another 240 Watts of invisible sun lights they also will be running full power also I've got a few bags of clones and a few bonsai mums under a 75 watt panel full power, i see absolutely no point in running lights on a lower setting unless ewe suffer with heat issue's I myself ain't got that problem also they about 14 inches above canopy, dimming lights befooked. Wow just wow



Great Googly Moogly
