here are some pic of one of my smaller buds from the Hindu skunk plant. this nug is crispy dry and about to be jarred. i had a heat wave today and but a few buds in the drying net are ready to be jarred. all the other buds that were on the bigger stems still need a little more. the bottom pics are the XJ-13's and the top pics are the Hindu skunk

truly nice work irish fella! i know youve probably had allsorts of peeps ask you but are the led's worth the outlay in your opinion? my girl is freaked every time the pork chopper in the sky flies over our house, if i could ask also how do you find it for penetration? im looking at a 1.2 x 1.2 tent 4 plants on a scrog grow rotating perpetually.
im thinking without the heat issue you could effectively half the height of your tent and still grow 3-4ft plants !? well maybe not half lol
im off to read the full journo! any pitfalls or cons on the LED's id love to hear too man!?
plus rep man i think youve just convinced me to switch to LED's

not to sure if the penetration is better then HID? i would say its close to being equal maybe? i had this light 18-20" or around their, and my biggest plants were close to 4', i lolloipoped them a little still got some fuffy buds down low but not much. ive never used a 600w hps so its hard to say. , when you get into the 3w leds it seem to penetrate better, but you must get a 90 degree viewing angle IMOtruly nice work irish fella! i know youve probably had allsorts of peeps ask you but are the led's worth the outlay in your opinion? my girl is freaked every time the pork chopper in the sky flies over our house, if i could ask also how do you find it for penetration? im looking at a 1.2 x 1.2 tent 4 plants on a scrog grow rotating perpetually.

Irish, this was an awesome grow and in my opinion a great yield! Did you use chemical or organic nutes? Do you think you could have fit more plants under that light and gotten the same plant/yield ratio? And was any CO2 use? I did read the journal just can't remember it all.....

i used chemical nutes GH micro and bloom, then MOAB/Bud blaster at the end.
i think i could have fit more plants, if i just stuck with the shorter HS instead of the almost 4" XJ-13. i did not use CO2 i had fresh air coming in from out side but no tanks on anything like that

im having a hard time believing this.. no offense. idk man.. hah. if you really got that, congrats. maybe led technology has gotten way better since last summer. that is completely 100% LEDs? your stems look pretty big, and how did you prevent the stretching caused by leds?

Irish! Good job! I am amazed at your harvest thats 540 plus grams of the dankest buds in town, your experiment is a slap on the face for hPS extremist lol more buds, danker buds cant beat that with a bat!

ya thats 100% led, and what are you talking about? i flowered my XJ-13 around 20" and now they were almost 4" i would call that stretch. now leds dont ever stretch close to what HPS dose unless they use all kinds of white light in the leds
but to be honest i dont care if anyone believe this or not. stick with hps is a great light. dosent matter to me what anyone grows with

thanks ill post dome close ups of the buds. but hps is a great way to grow, just depends on ur setup and you garden size. leds are for the smaller gardens and where heat is a issue. hps is better for bigger grows because its allot cheaper, and area where heat isnt an issue.

i am pretty amazed leds did this also. but i am not one to say leds are better then HID, because i love hid and think every-light is good. it all grows are plants we love. led, HID, Sun, Cfl's. their all good lights depending on the kind of setup someone has.

Wats your plan for next grow? A SOG would be awsome with that LeD beast!
