i count once they actually start to flower some can take up to 2 weeks to show sex and in that timeit hasnt flowered so it hasnt been flowering for 2 weeks its just had a 12/12 light schedule if you count from the time u change the lights then a plant they takes 8 weeks to finish will seem like it is takin 10 just because u strted counting the day the lights switched. this is just my opinion though

sweet posts once again Irish boy, been reading back through your stuff all good. Are you still sold on the 180 watt pro source for the money, I am leaning that direction on my next grow because of heat issues.

no, i think their too much money for what they can do. thats allot of money for just 180w, i rather get a hps light and grow bigger buds. i just think their wayy too much money for what they are

i think 12/12 is the only way to count. i have never seen anyone els do it any other way. but to each is their own. i guess its all up to the grower.i count once they actually start to flower some can take up to 2 weeks to show sex and in that timeit hasnt flowered so it hasnt been flowering for 2 weeks its just had a 12/12 light schedule if you count from the time u change the lights then a plant they takes 8 weeks to finish will seem like it is takin 10 just because u strted counting the day the lights switched. this is just my opinion though

for sure. thanks for the input, never thought of counting that way, either way it dosent matter how anyone count their flowering as long as the trics say its done then it done. +rep for the input on the way you do it, and sharing.

Thanks Irish Boy, thats what i was wondering, now how to deal with my heat issue, its not bad just 85 for about 4 hours a day, but as the outside temps climb so is my room. I can ventilate some, but now Im thinking about inline water coolers.

ventilation is a must!!!! the plants need fresh air all the time and old air exhausted out.. allot of led company's say oh with leds you dont need to run vent-fans because they run so cool.BS!!!! you do need vent fans no matter what if u want good results and bigger buds. get some GroTek pro-silicate its the best ive heard but any one will help big time with heat stress. Silicate helps with high temps. ive grown in 100F* weather and did fine with leds. heat stress with leds isn't bad because you dont have that high radiant heat that hps throws out on ur plants.

have u ever tried the grow panel 45? i saw it and im tryin 2 see wassup with it i havent seen many LED grows but i was wondering if its good for flowering? i'm pretty interested in it but i noticed that the lumen output is very low on LED's i think that the thing has 5000 lumens thats not even enough for one plant..

so last night i took out my 600w led panel and took a razor blade and cut the glue out that was holding the glass in place then took a spark plug threw it against the glass lens and broke it, took all the peaces out and put it back in the grow room. Holy $hit it mad a big difference on how bright and intense light it now, plus i got a better foot print. i will never leave the glass on my led anymore. i wish i would have done the a long time ago. i am very very happy with this mod.
then i took a piece of the glass witch is kinda thick and took my led flashlight and shined it on back peaces of material then put the glass in front of it and i could clearly see a different on how it blocks some light. if u think leds are bright with the glass then u have no clue how bright they are without the glass.
ill have some pics of the girls tonight for day 28

glow panel 45 only good for cloning its very even seedlings strecth
where did you get that idea? just interested why they even put the glass there anyways?

i got the idea from the owner of my 600w light, after looking i can see the lense block light just like it dose with the seal HPS reflectors. i dont know why they put the lenses on the light probably for some warranty reasons.
it will be funny to see how many company's copy Mike from GLH idea. just remember he was the first to do this!!
