I am running 2 aircooled 600w hps for my flowering as I live in a much cooler climate and the heat from the hps supplemented my need for a heater. As far as LED's go I'm not the best source of advice as I am still using my EBAY LED on my mother's. I think
LED is the future for sure but I can't afford the best technology right now and a less then the best Amazon HPS has been working out well for me other then having to make my own hood reflector(the one it came with was junk). I have some good things about Marshydro LED's.

I have a 2ft sunblaze t5 CFL works great! My only issue is my mother's growing too fast so I dialed am back to 18/6 from 24 and that helped a bit. But my mother's go into flower after the clones (so a little size is nice for bud sites) I've taken have rooted then half of those clones become the next mother and half go into flowering.

If you decide to try something else give LEC's a look. They run fairly cool and have great results.

Are they those vertical OG I need 12 foot ceilings style hoods?

no. They're only22 long,10 high and 18 wide so you should have plenty of room and since they run so cool you can set them as little as 18" from canopy

Wow i thought i had wrote this topic had to look at the name to be sure. I also received some freebies from nirvana. Im in week five under 2 600watt marshydro and 1 1000watt marshydro leds. 20" from the canopy with the 1000 and 18" with the 600s temps are 85 90 cuz im supplementing them with co2 soil medium emerald harvest nuits all this in a 5x5. Started with 6 lost one it just didnt want to keep up. So im only getting really long hairs out the top and no real bud sites to speak of. What was the outcome of you grow did they ever bud

Y'all need to stop buying those blurples. Head to the led section here and read up. That is way outdated tech that at best performs as well as the tech it's supposed to be replacing. The same money can be spent on easy diy builds with the best chips. Better performance, lower temps, lower electric bill.

The main thing I see is your light was too far away now you got stretchy plants which now makes it hard to lower your light now.Im no expert by any means but I feel it's important to work on an even canopy so all your flowers get equal sun treatment.I wonder if you can make some sort of trellis bend them over to try and even things out so you can lower your light or if it's too late for that...Other than that just give it time man and hopefully she'll start packing on weight..Good luck man

You really think longer than two weeks ? That is encouraging but honestly thebuds haven’t grown much in the last two weeks here are a couple more photos but are you thinking 4 more weeks till harvest ? Thanks for any and all help this is my first grow been very educational . My goal was to make it through all phases including harvest lol
