Yeah thanks, I'm liking the look of these going in. Have a feeling they're going to blow up nicely in the next couple of weeks. I may have to tie the larger Blue Pyramid down, will see how the stretch goes. If those are anything like the previous BP I had, they stretch like mofos.

One week and they've stretched quite a bit, had to move the lights up. Gave the 2 shorter one's at the back a 3.5" boost to even out the canopy, they should stay fairly even now. The LEC is as high as it'll go without making a shorter hanger. The line between the reflective sheets is 4ft.

So far they're responding more like the primary source which is the LEC. A couple of things I've noticed switching back & forth are the stretch from the LEC's is bigger than the COBs. The other is when they're under the LEC's they pray almost straight up, under the COBs on their own they don't do that. Here's a pic from the last COB round at day 7 with lights on, check out how the leaves are pointing either parallel or down vs. straight up in the pic above.

Yeah it's strange because under the COBs they almost seemed droopy right through the cycle yet they performed better when it came to bud production. Under the LEC's they've always pointed straight up, like they're reaching for the light

My COB LED product is so much better than what I get from under LEC that people can tell from across the room. And my LEC product is nothing to scoff at.

Hey Dawg, those droopy one's were the last round at Day 7, the COBs were 16-18" from the canopy, finished really well, all 3 except the DOG (bottom-right in the pic) which was just a blah pheno with tiny buds. I attributed that to the fact it got PM early on in veg and never really recovered, but all around it wasn't a good pheno. The rest were just sort of drooping (in comparison to the newer larger plants under the LEC/COB mix) but generated huge colas/buds so I'm not complaining. Just an interesting observation how they react between the COBs and LEC's. No differences in the environment, medium, feeding, so I have to think it's something to do with the lights...If I May Ask. What's Your Light Distance Pertaining To The Tasty Led?? The Reason Is I'm Seeing What Appears To Be Early Taco Leafing? Plus With The Drooping Leaves Could Mean Light Is Too Close? Just Sharing A Stoned Thought

Oh, no question there, not a complaint as the buds were tighter on all the strains and the terps were much stronger. Just an interesting difference between the 2 light sources. Will be interesting to see how the bud development goes and density particularly in the center where they're getting primarily the LEC lighting.

Yeah for sure, the mixed lighting is the main change the environment is the same, only light source changes but LEC being the primary source so they're behaving more like flowering under the LEC. They're on the same feeding/watering schedule and just hit the point where the 5gal's are dry every other day so they'll be getting the same amount of water/feed unless one gets a def, so far they're all happy. Only one mutation which I had on my original Blue Pyramid, the larger Blue Pyramid pheno has 2x leaves which at first glance looks like a def (N) but it's actually a mutation, those leaves are bright yellow but not from a def, the rest of the plant is normal other than those 2x leaves. Will try and get a decent pic to show it later. You can see them in this pic about the middle in the left row....Remember the different light sources will make the plants feed differently on their own so who knows what happens when they're mixed

I will be watching for sure to see how the mixed lighting goes for you this run. I'm still waiting on a driver for my new DIY flower LED light..........

Can't wait to see your LED come up, like the LEC, you won't be disappointed in performance. This mix run is kinda nice, leaves me with a T2-1400 available for a little side grow, some seeds perhaps

That mutation is called variegation. Harmless when it's on a few leaves but obviously the lack of chlorophyll is not a good thing by itself. Fyi it can inherit and propagated with cloning too. I've seen a few where it was 50-50% per leaflet, the stuff ornamental plant breeders get excited about.
