Had them raised as I was in there pruning out the yellow leaves.

Day 56 of flower. Pretty much all done. Gonna let them go till Thursday mostly because that's the only day I have time to cut down. They are crazy frosty and dense. Some of these nugz look like magazine ads :-) Would have liked to see them fatten up a bit more but there is bud absolutely...

Gonna do it versus actual draw as thats the only true measurement of prodction IMO

Well there's certainly a few people watching but I'm far from the big kid on the LED block. This is my first one and there's a few guys who've been doing LED for a while. Search LedBudGuy and Irishboy as they have completed ones. There are lots of others but those are the two I follow. I...

200 grams a panel I think is very doeable even without co2. I really figured I was on track to hit a pound before the nute lockout and I think I will still come close so the potential is definately there. The plants are no where near as bushy as would be ideal to make best use of the area...

How bout a 26 of JD? I don't drink beer :-) Seriously though I'll try to throw something in for a pic. Heard good things about GC but trying to get my hands on Super Lemon Haze. Great some and awesome producer from what I hear.

So mean while back on the ranch we are in day 52 of flower. The ladies are bouncing back nicely although I feel they aren't as thick as they should have been without this lockout issue....but maybe I'm just greedy :-)

That was from that link to the grow journal on 420. The guy running the side by side put a light meter on both panels. I actually think the Spectra will cover a bigger area than the Blackstar and that he should have the cabinet filled to demonstrate that so I feel it's not all that fair for...

That is an awesome journal, thanks for that. Will be subbed on that one. Been waiting to see real results from a Blackstar and the fact that Spectra number will be confirmed again is an added bonus. I am stunned that the Blackstar is drawing just over half the power of the Spectra but putting...

I gotta agree with this. Best crop I ever had one of my hillbilly buddies was staying with me. He was an old school country/farm boy with no experience with MJ but ran tomatoes in greenhouses for years. I came home after work one day and he was half way through a bottle of Jim Beam and...

Running 3 lights over a 3x8 area would certainly give lots of interlacing/cross-lighting and I bet would yeild some impressive results. LedBudGuy swears that the cross lighting is the key and he's the only one putting up big numbers so far so I'm inclined to think he's onto something. The...

Magnums are 3W and 60 degree lenses so lots more intense and can definately run higher. I alternate the spectrums. I don't think the heavy red of full spectrum is great for veg and I also don't think that totally excluding red (veg mode) is good for balanced growth/health. I've started...

Yes I did and they're looking awesome :-) Sneak peak tomorrow. Repotting into 3 gallons

My ISIS I run about 15-18" but that is for veg. If I was to use it for flower I would drop it down to 10-12". My magnum I run at 12"-15" for flower but that is over tall, dense plants. If I was to use it for veg I would definately get it up in the 30" range and slowly lower it down.

I'd add in some heavy blue CFL's for flower if you really want to or the other option would be to switch the Magnum into Veg mode every other day which basically turns off the red spectrum. Either way the more blue the more side branching you will get. I wouldn't bother with CFL's in flower...

I think we are talking about the same thing. Nute lock-out is caused by too much salt (nutes) in the medium and the plants just won't uptake anything. They don't even take up much water and look a little wilted. Things are looking better and I will get some pics up tomorrow. It certainly...

Pretty sure its a 240W Blackstar. Click his name and look at journal entries as he has a journal on his grow it's just not linked in his sig

In that kind of space the Mag lens angle would definately work in your favor. I would def keep them up high and bring them down slowly. 3 ft would be fine. These lights only have trace amounts of UV and IR and my ISIS has the same and it kills my Metal Halide for overall plant health. If...

I veg'd with T8's back in the day and found they were fine up to about 10" and after that the lower foliage yellowed out and died off. I would say T5's would be good to 12" as they are higher output. I used to run six shop lights attached to a frame over a 4x4 table and parked them almost on...

Ain't that the truth. My first LED experience cost a fortune and the only thing is was any good at producing was huge fan leaves. They have come a long way and like you said, as soon as induction addresses the proportionally lower outputs in critical ranges then I really think they will blow...
