Got 6 ace of spades females... 2 tall jack doms, 2 short bcs doms, and 2 in betweens. pretty similar to last time I grew'em it seems from 10 you'll get one or two of the mom, one or two of dad and some in betweens
Yeah they're 5 gallon airpots the yield potential on them should be 7.5zips... they can yield up to 50% more than the same size normal pot. I got over 4z in a 2.4 gallon first run (under LEDs!) with them and 3z in a 2.4 gallon last time (also under LEDs). You need to let them really root in and get the roots developed by first week of flower to get the big yields... transplanting'em right before flower won't do. I also only get close to the max yields running super soil. So I'm REAL curious to see what the 600w and 1000w can do for these girls that are well rooted into 5 gallon pots. It could be pretty epic we'll just have to see how things go I've learned not to count those chickens before they're hatched especially after the grow from hell.
Classic stoner move. Got home, took the old lights down and put the new hood up, went to plug the reflector into the ballast and it's not the same style of connector. UGH. So now about 4'x4' of plants are only getting sandwich sidelighting between the 600w on one end and the 720w of LEDs on the other. On the bright side, these came in the mail.
On the bright side, the 3 LEDs on the end now (720w) are SATURATING the plants on the end now -- they have no lack of light and I have no doubt results will equal the 600w or surpass it (even though effective wattage is really only about 435w-460w). Same for the closet ones now that they will have 3 instead of two lights. They'll be very happy

The density they were at before was too spread out for the results I'm looking for. They are now 3 lights over about 2'x4' for both the end of the cab and the closet -- which at effective wattage is over 50w/ft2 -- with 2 per 2x4' it's less than 50w/ft2.
The TW-14 under the HPS is loving being bumped up to right under the light... the top of the cola has visibly chunked up since last night when I watered it.
I'm conflicted about whether to put TW-14 in the closet with the LEDs or under the 1K hps. I'm curious to see how it would finish under 3 LEDs vs the 600w... but I'm sure I'd be sacrificing yield compared to under the 1000w
