    Yes, sir. I will do everything you said, as I did on my 1st grow. I've learned a little during my 1st grow. This 2nd grow will benefit.

      I still am wondering if my newly sprouted plants should still be on 24 hours of light or if I should switch to 18/6 by now.

          A lot of commercial grow facilities use 24/0 for the first week or two and then switch to 18/6.

                  This is my first time with two vipar's 450's..love em..I really underplanted..these lights are powerful. Have a great pic of my 6 dark Angels under the two lights but machine won't let me load any pics..next grow will be 12..

                    Only certain file types are allowable. Check your file extension.

                    I have the same two lights and 6 is certainly more than enough plants for me! I will do 4 in the future - cannot imagine doing 12
                    Check out the 6 plants I have and you'll understand: https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...s-grow-2/page6

                    I really wish I would’ve done two lights in my small tent. I could’ve done two 300s for less than the PAR 450 the crossover of the light and larger footprint would’ve produced better yields on my AIs I think.

                  Wow 6 plants for 2 viparspectrum 450s? I went from four to 3 to 2. I only run 4 under a 1000 watt hps/mh

                    Yeah, I could get the same/similar yield with fewer plants. I don't think I would get more though. I have 5 different strains, which is part of my madness. Also very different flowering periods, so light will improve for longer period plants as shorter period plants are removed. I have two of the longest flowering strain and expect to only have those two left in the tent for the last 3 weeks.

                  For vegetative yes way more than enough to start them. But flowering my yield per plant went way way way up going from 4 to 2. Think 3 ounces per to 10.

                      You will get better. Try 1 or 2 plants and use both lights for them. And baby those plants.

                    One plant per vipar' 450? The girls get premium conditions..I need to prune much sooner. I let the new flowering plants fan leaves on for almost 3 weeks, depriving lower buds. Nutrition is the only thing I can think of as well. Love the challenge!
