well this morning has felt a little like christmas as firstly 1 of my 2 LED UFO`s has arrived (180w) and 6 of my little ladies have rooted so i had to repot into 5x6" pots.3 of them actually had about 1cm root showing which is rather rapid in only 1 more night ( im putting the accelarated root growth down to root its first feed and i planted these upside down which contrary to others is the correct way to plant and is usually faster ).i have kept the ones stll yet to show under the 250w cfl and the repotted 6 under the new 180w ufo. heres this morning pics dudes IMGP0010.jpgIMGP0006.jpgIMGP0009.jpgIMGP0011.jpgIMGP0004.jpg

2 of the seeds were duds and have went to mush inside thr pods.the third was growing sideways so i have had to very carefully re position it n hopefully it will recover nicer.the second UFO has been added now so the cfl has been turned off.will post some pics of the 2 lights soon

Same thing happened to me! haha.

I had them in solo cups but didnt plant them deep enough and when i tossed em under the LED the leaves grew so fast that they toppled over.

well ive just topped 5 of the 6 ladies.the other is lagging behind but im confident it will soon catch the others up.im really impressed with the LEDs upto now.they are producing some very fat leaves which i havent seen before heres todays pics WP_20131210_001[1].jpgWP_20131210_002[1].jpgWP_20131210_003[1].jpgWP_20131210_005[1].jpgWP_20131210_008[1].jpg

hi and thanks smowkie im starting to get pretty amped about how things could go this time over.i usually stick to just the topping but gona get really creative with the LST if i can.so far the LEDs are way better than my previous MH runs i think its that noticable

how many times are you planning on topping? do you supercrop at all or maybe fim? never tried fimming ive always topped with good results.hoping for my biggest ever yield this time hopefully.quality has never been a problem just getting a larger dried weight.
