... I knew I’d catch some flack for saying that ... nice stash my dude!
Thanks Chief. You know it's good when friends come asking for some. No flack at all - and I know that there are better LED's than the blurples I am using - but the blurples I am using still give me 12 - 14 oz per harvest. No complaints here.

What's the true wattage of your LED unit?
 
I got a 150 watt from mars hydro (ts1000)it was cheap but has that led strip white that everyone is going bananas for lol.. I might buy some panels from my hydro stop to add ,and I also have a blurple light says 600 but I think it’s only kicking out a hundred.
 
Sad day lost 3 plants do to balls ... one of them was like a favorite might keep him as a stud... made a lot of room tho .... gonnna start flower tmro stay tuned

Couple of follow-up Q's for ya:
  • Who makes that blurple?
  • How big is your growing area?
 
It’s really a fake company from China the blurple. I got it from frys really for veg ( cost me 50$) ... area is about 3 x2 but reallly it’s a closet that is 3x6x8

That's too bad! It's never a good thing seeing the "twig n berries" as they show pre-flowers.

Is it one of those UFO style blurples? Any red spectrum or is is predominately blue?

I am going to assume 3 x 2 (6 sq. feet) of actual plants. At 150 true watts, you are just under 30 w/sq. foot using the Mars Hydro fixture. 30 w/sq. ft is on the low end but should still produce decent fruit, assuming that you are giving them a proper growing environment. Were you gonna weave the branches through before you flipped? Filling the SCROG net will give you an even canopy and give you more potential bud sites.
 
Unfortunately I found 2 herms also so I’m down to 5 plants . Kinda glad cause there were to many and I went to far in veg but I’m confident I can tame them . I’m planning on lollipoping them and I just bent the survivors under the net so I’m prepared for the stretch. I realize these lights are not too strong so I willl try my best. The blurple is descent not a ufo? It has lots of red blue and a couple greens. I am not really growing these myself I’m helping a girl as I stopped growing long ago ... but it sure is fun seeing them and helping manage them. I wanted to make a couple seeds too for maybe a grow later but at the moment I’m not comfortable growing in my apartment but if alll goes well I might just start another grow just for fun and headstache. I guess I just wanted to see what these new led white strip lights can do.

Yeah I lost so many to balls already. It’s my favorite plant but looks herm. Thanks for the help I’ll take some more shots soon .
 
So my dog ate the suspected “herm” for lunch . But it’s cool even tho it was my fave it is such a small grow so it’s just better this way . Here’s a new pic also of week one in flower . Think they started flowering before I flipped em s bit.B5CFFE77-C8D3-4985-A162-D20E0F571187.png image.jpg
