Sorry if this is off-topic, but I'd like to discuss LED lights :rolleyes: Basically I'm looking for suggestions for some good LED lights available in Australia - I'm after 2 or 3 LEDs that are genuine equivalents to 600W HIDs. Willing to pay more for truly decent lights, many thanks
If you have a healthy budget, email mark at cutter with this exact question and go to town.

If I wanted best bang for buck including shipping etc I would build them out of Bridgelux EB strips I think the newest is Gen3. Ive got hps, cobs and strips here and strips so much easier to deal with when it comes to weight and bulk

Haha, very similar indeed. Mine was in hydro, deep water culture (dwc). I also topped mine twice, I had mine in a tiny 10 litre bucket (about 2.5 gallons) and the whole bucket was filled with roots! I could get only 5 litres in the bucket to fill it up lol. Became hard work always having to top off bucket but she loved the constant doses of fresh water and nutes. I had 3 smaller air stones in mine (heaps of smaller bubbles for more oxygen saturation :wink:)
Saying that the other difference with blue dream is it can grow like crazy after flip and often grows for 4+ weeks off memory. you can see the haze genetics come into play when the stretch kicks in.
But a pound from 4 weeks veg is very impressive especially without supplementing co2.
Did you get any clones off her?
You describe and mirror my grow method and results very closely . I did not clone her. I wish i had! Thanks
for letting me know about your experience with the blue dream. I can tell she is going to be a monster. I am very happy her branches are so flexible. Its going to be fun scrogging her, unlike my last one, Northern Lights with very unflexible branches easily snapped.

haha, cheers man.
Yea you’ll love the blue dream under a scrog!
I found you have to get her to a half decent size in veg to really see what she can do, so your grow method should be perfect :cool:
Funny you spoke about northern lights, my last indoor grows main strain was northern lights haha.

This is my NL harvested Jan 2020. I got just over 13 oz. she was the first plant i grew under my new Timber COB 3VL. I grow in a 4x2 tent.
There were some issues with broken branches, seedling stretch, massive amount of fan leaves, ugly as fuck plant, FIM instead of clean topping and then finally bud rot on 2 of my largest buds. But end result smoke is fabulous and really benefits from the 2 month cure. Tasty and clean. All i used was Flora Nova Bloom as my nute the entire grow, never exceeding 850 ppms. What about yours?
