I was seriously considering one of those UFO lights a couple months ago based on the same claims that you mentioned seeing as how I was using a 400HPS at the time. I figured if it was equal to what I was using and draws 1/4 the electricity, how could I go wrong? I started a thread asking opinions of them and the claims are BS is what I learned from it. I did hear that they work pretty good for veg and as secondary lighting in flower. I thik the main thing with them is the coverage area and not the intensity of light. They're prety intense on their own but are small and don't spread the light very far.

I even almost bought 2 of them instead of my 600 and in hindsight, might have a better way to go for me since I would've been going down in power usage instead of up. HTG Supply had them on a pretty good sale at the time so I could've got both of them for just a little more than what the 600 cost me. Me being the dummy I am, ended up getting two 600s instead, LOL.

Who knows, I may still end up going LED at some point and downsizing my grow. It won't be anytime soon though, haha. Lovin' the way my room loks right now too much. I just need to get more work so I can afford the elec bill from all these lights :lol:.

Dude at the local hydro shop did a test grow with soem LED lights and said that if you had a 2'X2' flowering space, that UFO would dominate in there due to the intensity combined with the low temps. He said it wouldn't cover much more than that effectively enough to flower MJ plants though. He had two others that were much bigger too and ended up selling them in the store as 'final sale', saying they were excellent as secondary lighting or for veg. They were both over 500watts each though. For less than the hugely discounted price of just one of them since they had a grow on them I was able to buy two 600s with cooltubes.

I know I'm using twice the watts and all but I'm also covering a much larger space than those would've covered. I think it would be interesting to see a vertical LED grow though...

Wally, thanks for showing us Wendy, is she a clone of or seed? (can't see any cotyledon leaves)

Dez, I think you'll be ok, you will appreciate the extra space I think. Those girls are all going to start moving for that light, I guarantee you of that.

Peace, DST

wendy is an interesting thing.

random bagseed sprouted in a windowsill left for what ever to happen to it to happen. i just watched it for about a week. it was born with mutated leaves but now shes(fingers crossed) a cutie.

shes been under the 600 now for about 2-3 weeks in the wendys cup pot where she'll stay. i plan on LSTng her. i wanna have something like a big (relatively speaking) ganja afro lookin plant.

shes young and small but takes same strength nutes as the big girls. i give wendy whaaatever theyre having. and no burn.

I think seedlings can be right tough little buggers sometimes....especially re light, and also nutes. Keep us posted lad as I am sure you will.

Does anyone use botanicare's pure blend pro line of nutrients? I seem to recall reading in one of my bibles that botanicare is supposed to be really good for a sativa grow. Anyway I bought a sample pack last year that included pure blend pro grow and bloom and liquid karma. I started giving casey jones and headband some grow a few days ago. What I did not realize is that the pure blend pro line is organic, no mineral salts to harm your girls.

Anyone?
ive got a buddy that now uses the pure blend pro grow, bloom, and liquid karma along with the fox farm solubles for bud boost. from what ive seen its great stuff and the liquid karma seems to produce real healthy growth and thicker stems. ive been wanting to get one of those 3 packs and do it on a few of my plants as well. my buddy doesnt carefully measure his nutes and leaves them around for a few days mixd in water so it seems to be pretty forgiving and not to hard to work with. hydro store guy said they definetely compete with advanced line of basics but they need a bloom booster.

good looking pics every one! this thread blows up!

i second DSTs 600 sign. the 3 C is simple but masterful!

i grew with LEDs in flower for a while but they sucked so it wasnt worth it. now ive got them for veg and they work great. my grow journal is titled- A change from LED to HPS...

I start giving my little ones some nutes after the third set of leaves are established. A very light dose but I do give them some, so far no problems at all. I would give them one teaspoon of fish emulsion in a gallon of water but from here on out I'm trying these botanicare nutes I've had sitting around. Thanks lg, that's good to know. I try not to let anything sit around for more than a day. I mixed two gallons last night and tonight I will finish the quarter gallon that's left and the rest will be water with cal-mag.

I can't take credit for this recipe but, if you like apples or apple pie, you'll love this stuff.

My in-laws call it Apple Brown Betty but I'm not sure why. Anyway, I'll be making some with cannabutter this weekend as long as I really have kicked the infection that's been kicking my arse. Actually have cannabutter brewing in the crockpot as I type in anticipation of making this stuff.

Hopefully the attachment will open big enough to be able to read it.

So last week,I think it was HU, someone brought up getting a new bong..all that talk about glass...then seeing GnomeGrown's TORO in action...I felt like a little kid and just had to have a new piece!!!!! So without dropping a mortgage payment(which is easy these days) on a new water piece I picked up a pretty slick glass on glass 22" A.D.S(Amsterdam Design Studio) single dome perc.....picked up a faceted bowl to go along with it!!!Sick!!!Yeah....Bubbles

And to show off a little piece of history I own....
Ahhhh....Tommy Chong....What can't be said about that guy???He is amazing!!!
The guy used to have his own glass company...."Chong Glass".....about a year after Operation Pipe Dreams was over I stumbled my way into a little head shop in South Florida looking to pick up a bong...I just knew I wanted a bong and I wasn't going home until I had one...After looking over about two dozen bongs I didn't find one that was what I was looking for...Untill I noticed the gold fumed hue coming off the top of her mouthpiece....she was a little taller than the ones infront of her...can't believe no one ever saw her....I said "can I see that one?...the one in the back"....she moves a couple out of the way to get to her...looks her over for a second and says"no shit!!"..."What?" I said......"It's a ChongBong!!!we sold our last one about a year ago(so they thought)...shortly after they were shut down!!"........My response was...."Name your price!!".....She said "IDK.....$380"......"Sold!!!!" And the rest is history!!! even managed to keep the original bowl(the three dot signature)

To a glass collector....Its priceless!!!....To most of you....It's just an expensive hunk of glass... Hope you guys appreciate this!!!!She's my baby girl....usually only brought out on 420...or really special occasions!!!

That is a fine piece, I'd be proud to own that and would show it off whenever I got a chance to...

Your new bubbler is dope lookin too, good taste my friend.

That was indeed me endls, funny thing, I never did order the bong...damn stoners. It takes me forever to order anything. I'm not cheap, I'm frugal, I look around and check out different prices which in turn usually gets me off the subject I started on, hence, no new bong. I did however end up ordering up some supplies for the hobby. I'm going to give the botanicare pro line a shot for a while so I ordered some grow and bloom, cal-mag, liquid karma, some cloning gel and a nifty little sprayer.

After I harvest the Afghan girls I plan on stocking up on some new nutes myself. Been reading what I can about different stuff out there and I asked the owner of the hydro shop by me what sells the most and what he uses and recommends. Stuff like that.

Of course, what sells the most from his shop is hydro specific stuff and I can't commit to that just yet. Not sure I ever will at this point.

^^^Hell yeah man...That Botanicare lineup looks good....All Natural....like nature intended.....lol....anyway...you gotta get a glass bong...It's amazing the new technology just with the simple things like smoking accessories... If you do get a new glass bong I strongly recommend atleast going to a headshop and looking at all the new gadgets in person even if you do order it online....and I highly promote the glass on glass bowls....hope I got you motivated again to go get one....now get off your ass...LOL.....Later bro!!!!^^^^^^^

I have used GH products for years now and have had 3 harvest using the GH Flora 3 part series as my base nute....then I add in the Liquid Koolbloom...Floralicous Plus...FloraBlend(It's vegan HU)....I love it and really don't see the need to venture off into something else if what I have is working great....I would like to minimize all the different bottles....I wish GH would do something like Advanced did and put all their different boosters and supplements into the base fert......anyway....what were you using previously(currently) HU
