Amare Tech and I started communicating several months ago in my thread on another site "The LED Company I've Been Waiting For"
He pointed out the short-comings of the SPYDR 600 that I was testing for BML, that I was well aware of going in
We soon started PMs, then exchanged regular emails. He was in the final stages of introducing his take, as a mj grower, on LED panels, and offered to send me some to test. I am now an official AT tester.
My grow method is hydro, which most people think is too hard, when in fact it is the easiest (when done as F & D), and offers the most control should issues develop
My intentions for the SPYDR 600 was to combine grow spectrums with flowering spectrums in one light. The reveg under it has clearly shown the need for separate control over the reds, to be engaged once buds are set; otherwise, there is too much stretch
On 9/6 (12 days prior to having a SS100) I started cracked seeds and 3 clones under 2 white ufos (~ 100w total). The seeds started growing but no clone roots through 9/18, when I replaced the 2 ufos with ONE SS 100. Within 3 days I had rooted cones and fast growing seedlings. Hint: watts are not created equal
By Wednesday I will replace the SS 100 with 1/2 SS 150s, not because the SS 100 doesn't do the job. To the contrary, it's doing a great job vegging/cloning and would be a great combination for a perpetual grower. It will also finish a small plant in a pinch
I have a SS 260 waiting in the wings to move one under soon
Hope you follow along
Here's today's' pics
* Clones are in upper left where you see one yellowing leaf
* Pic with my hand is the biggest, which cracked 2 days before the others
