    New Grow Light(s)

    I imagine this question has been asked many times on this forum. I have been growing for a couple of years now and am currently growing 4 plants in a 5' x 9' gorilla tent in 5 gallon buckets. So far my best crop has been 14 oz. Currently running 6 autocobs from copshop. I would really like to improve my yield. Looking for suggestions on the best light to improve my yields. These lights would be for my flower tent.

    Hey Drekthar - I've run LED's in the past and now use an Optic 4 COB - the COB's pull the buds out better and bigger, noticeably. So your running the right lights, just need to improve on your tricks to pull out as much bud as you can.
    This is where I tell you to use Foliar Essence - used early on and to the manufacturers specs all it does is grow bigger and fatter stems early on. As well as makes the roots happy. And used properly it will lead to a better yield. Has for me. But I only grow autoflowers.

      I run a 1000w hps by hortilux in a 5x5 area with 4 plants. My average yeild is about 10oz per plant. I let them veg till they are about 20-24 inches before flipping to flower.

          Can only obtain from the manufacturer - FoliarEssence.com or something like that. I bought their smallest bottle at $60 Canadian couple years ago and still have just under half left. Super concentrated - I only use 1/16 of a teaspoon per cup of water. Then pH it properly.

        I use 4 autocobs from the cobs shop, and I usually get close to a lb off of 3 plants total. Like Canuck said, I think you have the right lights, there must be some other limiting factor. Do you use soil or coco? Are you growing photos or autos? I've never done photos myself, just autos.

            Quantum board LED or HPS will be the most efficient at converting electricity into light.
