@dbrn32 I tested my Quantum board 288 light and turned up to full …288 Watts at the wall and turned down all the way 92 watts at the wall…

I’m sure someone has done this already but I had not seen it :sunglasses:

I’m really happy that theses plants are doing their thing for you! Much better than first round anyway.

Not sure what they’re doing there, you have a b driver with external pot hooked up right? One thing we know for sure, you’re saving on the bill a little when they’re dimmed.

Do a slurry test take a soil sample preferably about 3 inches deep poor in water you normally use at the pH you normally use. When it becomes a soppy mush stick your pH pen in wait 15 seconds and see what your numbers are pH and ppm wise. If they are out of wack flush and water with slf. Let some what dry and then light feed. As plants get older they eat less.

That’s good now feed at a higher pp me but allow like 5 to 10 percent runoff just enough to let you know the ladies are wet. Then every feeding for a week keep at the higher ppm then do another slurry see where your at and you should be fine.

Sorry a little late responding but not sure I understand what your saying about "…

nice to know that the light is putting out true watts :sunglasses:

Hey I’ve had the little runt bud drying in the closet for a while now then two days ago I put it in a small glass jar with a 62percent humidity pack and it is stabilized at 62percent…think maybe it’s ready for me to taste :scream::innocent:

I didn’t remember if ya u had a driver with the built in potentiometer or you had an external potentiometer for dimming?

Hopefully you enjoy that bud!

The Light Has a External Dimmer

I’m surprised it doesn’t dim lower, maybe the pots they send don’t sweep to zero ohms. No worries, I can’t think of a reason you would need to go lower than that.

No prob brother those are good numbers that’s about how long I wait in between.
