Indeed sir though I doubt home depot can offer me anything in a decent price range as far as lighting is concerned. I definitely use home depot for other supplies though! Thanks for the suggestion friend.
I love LEDs, it's my own fault for buying cheap Chinese shit. I should have planned ahead and ordered the Cree chips at the same time! I get the results I want from led pretty much, just need stronger chips or lens for better penetration. I could pull plenty of weight just using the 2 x 300w panels I have but I'm greedy and want to get the Max I can out of all the time I spend taking care of the plants. Hid is really not an option for me at the moment due to heat etc. Anyways we grow and we learn from our errors, LED is the future and I'm happy to contribute to the cause by pulling off some nice grows from LED!
Edit: I can just rotate the plants every day, it's just a pain in the ass with the room being maxed out!

I have six 300w led's for a 3x6 ft grow area. The buds are coming in nice n solid. Each light has 100 3w led's and they work as well or better than my 1000w hid. They still create heat and it takes a few of them to really get good solid buds. Bought them from ledgrowlightmanufacturers in China. I use t5's for veg as the LED's are too expensive and t5's work great for veg. I've had no problems in 6 months, so quality seems to be very good. So if fluffy buds are a problem, get more flower LED's. My 1800w worth of lights only use 900w of power, so they don't actually put out what they claim. They are 3w led's putting out 1.3 to 1.7 watts per led. I think if you figure the actual watts used you will be closer to matching output with HID's.

Thanks guys for your input, right now I'm just going to be rotating my plants due to lack of funds at the moment!
another note, Fuck you Powdery Mildew! Picked up some Serenade Garden Disease Control and I'll start spraying my Auto that is about 2 weeks from finish with some high ph water. Will also be washing the buds in a H202 solution to remove any remaining mildew. There are just a few random small white circles on the lower leaves, might add a 150w Hps back in so I can keep the temps around 85 to help prevent growth of mildew as well. Also have the possibility of a dehumidifier. Gotta get on top of this shit quick! Any advice on the mildew problem appreciated!

Well guys I havn't given you a view of the garden as of late so here we go...
I really hope this fucking autoflower finishes soon, I need the room so I can get some better air flow going on....I think I am going to start starving her now.... and hope for a finish in the next 2 weeks..

Serenade Garden Disease Control smells so awful!!! Switching over to a 1 to 9 mix milk/water to combat any further PM problem. Nothing new to report except my last led spotlight is out, guess we are just going to be using the two 300 watt panels for the moment. Photo update in a couple days! Grow On!

As promised, as few pictures of the garden right now, I added in 1 of the 150w hps because I need to keep my temps around 85 degrees in order to prevent the PM from growing. Been continuing with the milk/water spray on any spots that I see which has not been very much after using the Serenade.

Yes sir that is the 60 day wonder but she is on about day 90 right now with another 2 weeks to go! That's a mighty nice Bud there man, my girl is only 2 ft tall, so glad it's not 4, would need hella headroom! My fire og is around 3ft and she is already a slight problem as all the other plants are 2ft, I tried to tame the fire og with my lst skills and it worked...kinda for a stretchy ass sativa. Anyways I think I'm going to yield around 150g off of the Wonder, which imo is a hell of a lot from an indoor auto grow. I been peepin your Journal Dawg I just don't have a lot to say since you got it down good as it is! Keep on growing brother!Nice Looking Bud Brother Slinger

Congrats on your harvest man, I'm heading out to a wedding and hopefully I come back to chop time for the Wonder...here's hoping but I think she is gonna string me along for a bit longer than I would like! Will be nice to see if your wonder finishes in the 60 day mark, I have 1 more seed of it as well so perhaps ill pop that one in October! Christmas finish in sight!

Thanks Dawg I think she is a mutant version of the Wonder, instead of some of her main colas coming to a single point on top, a few of them have two or three points, it's really cool, have not seen that very often! Will try to put A picture or two up of the freak buds! Thanks for stopping by!Damn Thats 1 Fine Looking Plant Brother.I Hope I Get 4 Of Those

whats up guys, so after my 5 day trip out of town I came back to my Autoflower being finished, what I didnt expect is a massive outbreak of PM!!! I chopped the girl down and gave her a good soak in a Peroxide Water bath, and have the nugs hanging up, most likely this whole plant is gonna get turned into bho cause I dont wanna risk smoking any of the PM I didnt get off with the rinse. Now my question is....only The Church and the Girl Scout Cookies have shown now signs of PM, I knew The Church was extremely mold resistant but did not expect that of the GSC. Anyways, should I trash the other plants and say screw battling the PM and let these other girls finish out or try to battle it and at very least make some BHO after they are finished? Im pretty sure I am going to be dissolving the Butane after it has been put through the extractor tube into 99.9% ISO, freezing it for 4 hours, re-straining it through the 45 micron filter and then putting it through a .2 micron syringe filter. What are you guys thoughts, what would you do in my situation? HELP!!!! If I keep the girls going that have the pm I am purchasing a 45 liter Dehumidifier.
