This is my veg room, right next to the flowering. One t5 2ft 2bulb.
Strains:
Fem'd Jack Herrer in waterfarm, topped and going on a portable scrog attached to bucket
Thai Breeze 13 days from seedling
2 LSD clones in 3gallon promix
2 Void clones in the humidity dome
Catnip, Large stress-trained basil, cayenne pepper.
Also, strawberry seedlings, couple different tomatoes and peppers, in the DWC.
6 Lettuces in the humidity dome with the void clones
Sensitive plants in the second picture, they move to physical touch. Fun to be around when medicated
All from one t5 lol

Man that is awesome, you got some fun growing, and the nugs look fantastic. Im in the same boat as you, I cannot have heat, and they should have more flavor, and I would like to be at the beginning of the LED future as well. I use two single bulb 2 foot t5 strips with my led. Always gotta use them.

:joint: Ohh yea, if i didnt have the 240w veg LED in the flowering, I would have to put some fluorescent lights in there! The blue light actually mixes with the red and helps your eyes adjust much better! Without a blue light, the 500W is blinding pink

DAY 67 of seedlings emerging, 37 Days since sex showed.

Slowly coming to an end now and I am excited. I realized I may have a few plants too many for this harvest (12 females). Next grow I have only have 5 females that will continue to flower, and Im bringing in 3 more females after the 12 leave.

They are filling in very well. Most of them have an immense amount of pistils, and from looking at other peoples' LED grows, it seems like the more pistils earlier, the larger the bud in the end. So keeping fingers crossed, but I hate to compare others grows to mine. There are just TOO many factors to consider when comparing grows, NOT just lights... Dont get an LED light based on my grow, get an LED light based on my cleanliness habits, nutrients, cold temps, countering deficiencies, feeding schedules, etc etc etc....

Apologize about the amount of pictures, I have never done bud porn on the internet before, so I kinda just took two or three pictures of each of my females.

Edit: Picture two, on the wayy left of the picture is a small Runt from seed into flowering. She is less than a foot tall, and barely producing product so I threw her in the corner of the tent. She is still doing decent.

Just took 12 clones this morning. As soon as they begin rooting, I will put some in flowering. I love doing clone into flowering, small dense plants, and very happy plants. Got 10 Jack the rippers, 1 black domina, and 1 LSD, they are in rockwools in a humidity dome. Sadly I don't have a heat mat so let's see how they root...

I harvested two blueberry clones two days ago, and they have been drying since. Weighed in at 18g wet, so I will most likely get 7g or so dry. I just used these clones to have some smokes until the real harvest, and what a great choice. They smell and taste amazing. They will be drying for another 5 days before I jar em. Pics will follow soon. I'm also harvesting a small runt of a plant for hash. It is covered in crystals, can't even see the bud, but it's tiny (same size as blueberries: 7-10grams at most). Some of the big girls are coming down 13 days from now, and the rest of the big girls are coming down 20 days from now. 2 weeks after at, I got 4 large Jack the rippers and a black girl coming down, and a week after that got another large Jack the ripper. 2 weeks after those, i got a large Jack herrer in waterfarm harvesting, as well as a large LSD. These are the strains I will have in order, as well as some clones on the side just to have some smokes.

I use all 5 gallon buckets. Since I do small plants, I always get away with putting 2 plants per pot. I have a bunch of 5 gallon smart pots, and I plant one girl on both sides of the smart pot. However, I won't be doing this anymore. I've been lst'ing and topping all my plants, and am now going to stick to one plant per 5 gallon container. I'm also cutting down my numbers from a bunch of small plants to several bigger plants. Much easier and better yields with doing less plants really....

yeah man, definitely. I feel like if you vegged them for 3-4 weeks before flowering, they would triple in weight. But as long as the smoke is bomb, you seem pretty happy to me :)

It's not really about the weight of the final product, it's just how long it takes in the process of growing. If I do seed to flower, it takes up 14-16 weeks in my flowering space. If I go into flowering from veg, it takes up 8 weeks in the flowering room to harvest. Although both methods are great, I can't have plants in my flowering room taking up 16 weeks of room. I can harvest 2 bigger plants from veg in that same time harvested. Ive decided instead to just use small clones in the flowering room, 10gram plants, just to add flavor.
 
I like your thread . Please keep me posted . I'm thinking about switching my HID's to led's also . I am just on the fence about the lumens as well as the NM

Day 72 from seedlings, day 42 from sex showing, All plants are filling in well. I started flushing them, giving them only water. Also put in the picture of the blueberry I harvested, as well as my 12 clones. Going to veg four of them and pop the rest in as popcorn weed. Also set up my drying tent, got a 6inch inline fan exhausting the tent out the window.
