Wow LEDs are really good for small shows. Your room is 100% sealed? How do you keep temps good when your in alberta?

Couldn't keep the room temps high enough even with a heater so I had to put down sub-floor (dri-core) as the concrete was just acting like a heat sink. I figure if temps get too high in the summer I'll just start removeing sub-floor panels until its good again.

Thanks for the reply. Keep it up, great job...Seems like the older and some of the cheaper panels that only had red and blue spectrum experienced lots of stretch and delayed flowering. Most likely due to a lack of Far-red/IR in the lights causing poor Phytochrome response. Certainly not the issue with the lights I'm using

Cool what are you using to take care of the thrips....never had that problem,but azamax or azatrol takes care of all the critters in my garden

Led in summer with bottled co2 would be a very nice setup.
I use azamax and always have thrips when i get my pk clones. I spray twice. once in veg and once in early flowering.
A 16oz bottle has lasted me over a year. Dehums work good for heat in my place. I vent room to room. One is off and one is on. It keeps air flow going since all my fans are on thermostats. I run my dehums 24/7 tho. Im managing to keep temps good. No need for my a/c yet. Summer is coming. Im probly gonna get a 5 ton.

Hey DUnit! Looking really good. Anyways, I was wondering if you ever tried using the SCROG method? I think if you had a SCROG screen for those 9 lil ladies of yours, you could definitely maximize your yield and light efficiency! Have you ever looked into doing something like that? My friend grew the same strain from clone and tried both methods to see what was better. The normal method yielded him 6.5 ounces from two plants, and the SCROG method with the same strain/clone yielded 10.5 ounces from the other two plants! Huge difference! Because of that, I am doing the SCROG method for my one plant. It makes sense though, all the vegetation below the screen is removed, and all the bud sites receive the same amount of light exposure due to the even canopy. All the popcorn is removed so the plant can concentrate the energy to the big colas above the screen. And since we are using LEDs, the light penetration will definitely not be an issue.

Im at day 14 of flowering and wanted to compare pics with your 2 week flowering pics, and we are looking about the same............must be the led'sWas just comparing the bud development to a friend on 420 who's at the same day in flower. Not sure what it is that's started mine so quickly but I'm not gonna complain

Don't you have a Blackstar LED by Lighthouse Hydroponics? I have a Lighthouse Hydroponic 300 watt LED and they are both cheaper than the magnum. Thats what I meant.

Day 32 of Flower I think. Been a bit since I posted so don't quote me on that. Sorry for the lapse but was working out of town and had a buddy watering but no pics.
Anyway here we are......fattening nicely and the treatment for the thrips seems to have worked awesome although did take some leaf damage.

Subbed. Man I saw a journal someone posted on the Spectra line of LED's versus a 400 watt hps and the results were basically in favor of the LED's by a slim margin. After that I looked into their LED lights and saw that they cost quite a bit.
Then I see this journal and find out the lights you are using are much cheaper with similar (better?) results. Thanks for this great journal. My next grow will be LED for sure now.
