hey everyone you're here with mark gawa perfectgardens.com so today we are starting
our grow journal with jason and believe it or not uh jason actually started with us maybe close to
about a year ago now and through this process of starting with the grill coaching then him
using mars led lights and actually a couple different brand leds we recently have upgraded
him from i don't want to say a lower quality led but just let's say a less expensive led to more of
like the cadillac led if you haven't checked out our monthly membership i highly recommend do so
just for 2.99 your questions get sent to the top for quick replies i'm asking for a little
more support to build up my war chest so that i can continue to keep giving you open and honest
reviews and we can further defend our right for free speech thank you so much everyone and from
now we're going to be doing this grow journal really doing a side-by-side comparison because
his yields have just been absolutely incredible his quality has been absolutely incredible
and we're gonna just see if through this entire grow if the light does actually make a difference
in quality and yield overall uh jason can you tell me a little bit about yourself and what type of
light are you using right now currently or what what light were you using and what light did we
switch you up with so the first set of lights i purchased were and fun a brand called nfun
and i actually got two sets of those they were uh two 240 watt light panels two panels equaling 240
watts and after that the other ones i purchased was uh leno focus so i purchased two of those
those are 200 watt lights it has uh four bars well there are bars you have four two foot bars
i was able to fill a 2x4 with it i had to use two sets it wasn't getting enough light with just one
those were about 250 260 dollars per light and those are the ones uh that can be long and also
wide in the sense correct yes the leno focus yes you can configure them any way you want basically
you know you're just extending the wires the connectors that are all there and just to be clear
with everyone listening the leno focus and i might be saying the name wrong i'll make sure to include
the picture of them but i mean jason i mean absolutely destroyed his yields i i think roughly
four and a half to five weeks of veg from seed on his first yield he got roughly 180 grams per plant
and then on the second grow with these leds he got 190 grams per plant so he did so well with these
less expensive lights it just intrigued me when this this other company the uh what brand are we
using now that we upgraded with medicare medicare exactly if anyone's interested in trying these
lights out make sure to put in pg-10 when you go to metagro the link will be down below well when
the light arrived what was the opening of the light and how it arrived was it did the light
seem fairly secure or was it shipped well yeah it was it was shipped pretty well was it easy to
uh hook up and install or was there a lot of parts to it what did that look like no
i well actually there weren't that many parts to it i didn't use the included um hooks or um
they had a hanging system but it would have been it would have hung down about two feet from the
top already using that hanging system so i just hooked it up with uh rope brackets you hooked up
regular rope ratchets yep and have you used any of the extra features to the light or are you
basically keeping it the same as you kept the other lights that we swapped this one out with
um i'm definitely running it higher you're running it higher up like distance from your plants
or yeah i'm able to keep it keep it keep it higher off the plants plus you know it's got i can turn
it up before i was running 400 watts now i'm running uh 600 right now now you're running
600 watts what's the temperature like on the light compared to the other lights it's about the same
it's about the same so that's pretty good so you so you you know you've increased the for the light
itself you know all there's well i don't even know how there's more than 2 000 diodes i believe
so uh there's more than 2 000 diodes in the light that you receive down hotter but not significantly
you know right now my tent is 78 degrees and that's been a four by four okay so only 78 degrees
and your light is at what power strength right now it's uh it's only at 64 percent it's only at 64
as i flip through the plants i mean i know you pretty well you keep control of your plants but
i mean as i'm flipping through the plants the plants do look pretty fairly healthy
we we did adjust on some amendments have the plants recovered from phosphorus deficiencies
you know it still has the uh the purple stems have you tried to add a little bit of uh soluble p20205
you know what it's all right just the phosphorus yeah yeah it's okay you know it's i was adding
adding the raw phosphorus just for that specific plant it could be uh a temperature thing because
it gets a little chilly at night here sometimes so overall during the day you know we've had some
pretty chilly weather these past this last week and we're really not doing the this like
complete justice just to be completely open i believe we started roughly when the plants were
about three weeks into flowering correct when we swapped the light out or two fleeks into firing
yeah they were already in flowering i believe okay so at the end of the day we're going to
go through this entire grow with this these plants and and because obviously roughly 80
of the flowering time will be underneath these lights but from the start of the next row
all the way to the finish is when we're going to be able to get a hundred percent accurate results
off the off these lights that's correct right jason yeah that's that is correct yeah because
you know we started these plants these plants are already three weeks into flowering when i put them
into this tank um another thing to consider too is one of one of my points was a male so i had to
get rid of that and i only have three plants this time and you've changed the strains you before you
were doing ak-47 and what other one caramel candy kush that's what it's called you're doing camera
and now you're doing silver haze these are from uh holy moly seeds i have a gelato skywalker's
ghost which is which i believe is one of their own breeds and super skunk fire which is also one of
their own super saiyan fire and the seat suppliers that you used from the previous one were they all
from the same seed suppliers or did you try a new seed supplier this time but this time it's a
new seed supplier so the first seed suppliers who were they okay no problem i i think i can look it
up too real fast but basically where i'm pulling from this the second c suppliers you actually end
up getting a mail but your first seat suppliers they know males all feminized didn't even hurt me
on you no so i don't think so although you know i did come across the seed i did too and that's
why i asked you but you know i didn't see any of the herme signs of the pistols popping out of the
flowers so you know sometimes you'll get a seed it's all right it's no big deal and that's in
the caramel candy cush i believe i think you're right i found in the camera county kush as well
so you found the holy moly seeds is the one where you found a mel and then that was the dosey dough
so and the original seed shop was the first place yeah yeah yeah and i still have um five of each
of the ak-47 and caramel candy kush so i could hit those again on the next road i i
that would be really cool i think if you did that we would really be able to show justice and and if
we also made sure to veg them at the same amount of time because i think these plants you benched
them a week longer than the ak-47s correct right right because i want i wanted to show them to you
and i knew you're going to come in the daytime so i love you man you really are jason like jason
jason is the coolest something happened and then i ended up putting him in the flower anyway jason's
the coolest guy ever guys and and just to give you a little more story about him he calls me up asks
for grow coaching we get started getting involved very often if people are doing fairly quickly i
mean fairly well i'm i'm going to kind of kick them off the door and say hey you don't really
need much my help anymore jason did so well when i i love these plants and i want to connect with
the growers so much that when i do meet a very talented grower that i think has some similar core
values i do i want to develop my relationship with the person more than just you know give me money
here's how you grow the plan and get the f of my life you know watching jason grow these plants
and just seeing how involved he was with this and wanting to do his best and just seeing it i mean
when you go through all these pictures and i'll make sure to just just do a quick flip through
for the last year of recording we've done together i very quickly stopped charging him
as a client and i ended up asking him if he would be basically an r d facility for perfect gardens
and since then i've pretty much been paying him to to uh to work with me and it's been just a
wonderful relationship and he look i mean i'm just look at his plants i've i got the opportunity to
meet his wife and his family and i'm very grateful jason to allow me to let me know in your home and
record this process because it means the world to me and other people so thank you jason that's
awesome was there anything else so we're we're going to do this a few more times i'm getting more
familiar with softwares and stuff like this so i'm going to record this more with you jason
was there anything else you wanted to add for this basically week of grow journaling what we're doing
with this light this light has you know i didn't mention it before but it's got
it's got um uva and uvb and when do you use those when do you use the uva and uvb uh i
believe it's towards the the end of its flowering uh maybe in the last couple weeks supposed to be
i'm i don't know if you're familiar with shane from migrow [ __ ] i see another youtube channel
guy he's a youtube he does all these light test things he's got his own light company called migro
i guess he's in uh england or britain or somewhere oh interesting i have to i have to check him out
i've never heard of him so i've watched some of his stuff and what he suggests is that uh
you know during the last i think it's the last couple weeks of flower for a half hour to an
hour of its light schedule should include the uva uvb it supposedly increases the terpene production
of the plant you don't want to do it too much because it could be damaging to the plane also
so that's why it's only like a half hour or two an hour or something like that and so you currently
right now are familiar with that process of what they're recommending correct yes okay and so you
haven't started this yet but you do plan to start this uh sometime the next okay very cool guys
as you can see definitely want to stay tuned to this grow journaling that we're doing like i said
we have replaced this light with the mars light and the other brand i'll make sure to include it
with now the medigrow if you guys are interested in checking out their uh their light for 10 off uh
make sure to go to the website include pg-10 and check out the rest of this for these grow journals
to learn how to get more familiar with this light jason thank you so much brother i
appreciate you again man anytime please remember to like share and subscribe have a great grow
is i normally recommend for them to grow out all the strains they're growing keep the one
maybe two but normally one strain that they absolutely love and get rid of all the rest
and to start to learn how to read the plant through plant deficiencies
