First Grow with LED's

Quick photo update for the week. The response to the increased light and ph adjusting
has been positive. Keeping RH below 50% and continuing maintenance with Azamax
and Serenade to combat mites and mildew. The largest of these tops is already bigger than the largest from our last harvest so I hope we're onto something:

Pic update- biggest we've had thus far by far. Need to do some research about
how to cut and cure these things as a few will not fit in jars.
Next batch in veg- they were just pruned...

As long as you are using 2w or 3w leds, keeping them the right distance from your babies along with side lighting , you will out compete hps. You will save lots of money in electricity, and only losing like 10% yield... nothing wrong with that.

Thanks for looking Matt and for the tip. As this all started as an experiment with LED's, I just may try to flower with them.
As I'm ending my third continuous grow, I actually feel like I want to take a break from a flower tent for a bit. I have another
round in veg that I'm thinking I may keep in veg through the summer...we'll see- it's evolving even as I write this.
These LED's are Prosource UFO's and we never flowered with them simply because I started reading about density loss in buds- it's all been a learning curve and still is. I appreciate the encouragement.
