Nice girls Oregon, I realize you are stealthy here but any reason not to go bigger?

Have the light go on at 10 PM and off in the morning if daytime temps are warmer in your grow area.
Ordered a Vipar 300 W (180W actual) with 2 switches and the individual reflectors for $170.00, http://www.ebay.com/itm/VIPAR-300W-LED-Grow-Light-Hydroponic-3W-indoor-Plant-Panel-Flower-Full-Spectrum-/121163870824?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item1c35edf268
I will then move my 180 W Apollo UFO (107W) actual) out to the dwarf lemon tree I got the other day. It is in flower and I would love fresh lemons this spring.

Nice score

It should do quite nicely until the next breakthrough brings down the price of Reflector Cobs, which are already affordable

Noodling through their other offerings, why not the 500/300w @ $260?

Oh yes indeed. Original set up was 7 Cree LED bulbs with 2 18" plant flouros as side lights.
Now UFO +3' T5 fixture (2 bulb) 2 90W equivalent LED floods and 1 300W equivalent (62W) CFL in a 2'x3' by 4'high box. So if I mainline or top and do bondage, maybe 3 at a time.
Vipar arrives tomorrow, then back to globes for side lighting along with the T5 while the floods will go to the mini greenhouse for peppers and veggie seedlings.
4 Bulb LED fixture going into a Wardrobe box for vegging in the future. I will have to join that RIU group after I set that up!
I will actually put together a thread for my box build when mid terms are over.
As an old guy, college is hard now since I suffer from CRS

Week 5 1/2







Added two more CREE bulbs, and my purple kush is sprouting, so moved them up higher to the lights

Got my ACT tea brewing too

This grow is WAY better than my first try, and I learned everything from RIU, this site is great :weed:

Here's a up date on my plant it's 6 weeks old today and it's pretty freaking bushy I topped it and LSTed it twice pretty good i suppose for a first timer haha. I'm gunna switch out the 6500k/5000k CFLs and CREEs this week for 2700k CFLs and some CREEs and switch to 12/12 and find out if it's a female I'm really hoping it is haha, I'll put more CREEs tho in this time, I got the tent finally I love it but I need more plants going ill probably do one more or two more if this plant turns out to being a male "knock on wood"! Sorry that the tent pic is upside down but u get the idea no idea why it's upside down, any ways happy growing!

Plant looks super healthy and happy

IME, too soon for a total 2700K

Wait until full on bud set for that, if then

Keep the 5000K Crees in there until bud set. I would even keep one then

Thanks man, it's in a bubbleponic system, I might do a few more grows in it and try 50/50 coco/perlite too. ya that makes sense I'll get a few more CREEs that are 5000k and a few that are 2700k till I get a good bud growing and go from there.

Bubble, done right= massive DO, created by lots of lpm air, via quality stones is hard to beat for its' simplicity. I use 35 lpm in ~ 2g tote, which is good for 2 plants max
