Thanks Chief. You know it's good when friends come asking for some. No flack at all - and I know that there are better LED's than the blurples I am using - but the blurples I am using still give me 12 - 14 oz per harvest. No complaints here.
What's the true wattage of your LED unit?

Couple of follow-up Q's for ya:
- Who makes that blurple?
- How big is your growing area?

That's too bad! It's never a good thing seeing the "twig n berries" as they show pre-flowers.
Is it one of those UFO style blurples? Any red spectrum or is is predominately blue?
I am going to assume 3 x 2 (6 sq. feet) of actual plants. At 150 true watts, you are just under 30 w/sq. foot using the Mars Hydro fixture. 30 w/sq. ft is on the low end but should still produce decent fruit, assuming that you are giving them a proper growing environment. Were you gonna weave the branches through before you flipped? Filling the SCROG net will give you an even canopy and give you more potential bud sites.

Unfortunately I found 2 herms also so I’m down to 5 plants . Kinda glad cause there were to many and I went to far in veg but I’m confident I can tame them . I’m planning on lollipoping them and I just bent the survivors under the net so I’m prepared for the stretch. I realize these lights are not too strong so I willl try my best. The blurple is descent not a ufo? It has lots of red blue and a couple greens. I am not really growing these myself I’m helping a girl as I stopped growing long ago ... but it sure is fun seeing them and helping manage them. I wanted to make a couple seeds too for maybe a grow later but at the moment I’m not comfortable growing in my apartment but if alll goes well I might just start another grow just for fun and headstache. I guess I just wanted to see what these new led white strip lights can do.

Shit it looks like it could be...maybe move it just to be safe. I think others may be able to chime in but I think it may be too early to say for sure.
That doesn't look like balls to me break it open I bet there's no pollen
