Yea seems like the cannabis growing community is split on when to start count.

The most confusing part about this, is when do the nutrient companies count from when they are reccomending when to use them, example, big Bud says weeks 2 - 4, but is that from seeing pistils, or from 12/12 ?

Some clarify in their feeding schedule that you are to start the transition when you change the light schedule because the plants adjusting after the first night of dark. I know cannas is light specific but still lists the feeding as weeks, idk about most other nutes though

Hmm okay, according to AN I am to start using overdrive a week ago, I feel based on the size of these they're going to take an extra week, and the fact that they didnt start showing until day 12-14. Ill start overdrive in my next watering, for 2 weeks.

Update: I cut everything down on Monday and trimmed it up, Its now drying, I will post results pics once it has finished drying, It still looks insanely Frosty, and it looks like there's QUITE a bit there, im thinking ill pull over an elbow off this run, which will be my best yet! My girlfriend is pregnant so I wont be running a big tent anymore, I might be building a small(er) stealth cab(24x40x56) and run a 400w hps in there, but fear not, I have another location im running the rw-150's in a 5x5 tent! I just put 4 vanilla kush plants into flower under the rw-150's over at site b, Will start a seperate journal soon.

No offense homie, but those buds look crazy small for all those lights youve got, if you pull a LB I will be shocked!!

Well, they were quite big when I chopped em, its a late generation clone so the nodes are spaced out pretty far, its also an original OG cut, not headband like i was told originally, guy fucked up and gave me wrong cut. The og comes out insanely dank, frostiest i've ever seen, but the yield if garbage, several VERY experienced growers i know pull barely a lb under a 1000w. I took wet weight today, been on the drying rack since monday and there is 670g wet, this far into drying, i estimate a loss of an additional 15% which should net me an elbow and a quarter~.
Next run is Vailla Kush, barneys from, from fem seed, 4 plants, topped once, and they're about 2 feet~, just went into 12/12 yesterday, I will probably pull more from that because its not such a late gen clone, nodes are much tighter.

Yeah, thats crazy, just doesnt look like there is a # there, but Im no offense meant, what is there looks dank. I am going to run that Vanilla Kush in the party cup grow-off under my leds. I hope your grow of it works out well. Good luck.

Awesome grow, man! I just got an RW-75 myself for my little box. Can't wait to get it rockin!
Do you have experience with any other LED panels? If so, how would these compare?
I love Area 51 as a company and from everything I've read.. they are very transparent and have great warranty as well as cheaper upgrades for better LEDs in the future... and assembled in the USA! Glad to see a grow with one of their lights... been trying to find one where they used an RW-75 (I will have 4x 18w Cree floodlights in there as well... 4' high x 2' x 1.5' flower chamber... should be plenty of light!)

This was my first run under LED, i may branch out into other brands in the future if funds permit, but that likely wont happen with a kid on the way! I loved em though, I will say, that 620w of them produced about the same amount of heat as a 600w hps, BUT, they pulled way more weight than you would get with a 600w. I have yet to see someone get >1# with a 600. Jus sayin. I am currently building a DIY stealth cab(40Wx24Dx56H) but ill be running a 400w hps in it with an aircooled reflector.

nice grow man! you setup is tidy looking. So did you end up with over a #? Also how was the density? Any particular reason to change to HPS? did you not like the LED?
