How long did it take for your sgs-160's to arrive after ordering them?

Sticky - It really depends on where you're located. They're shipping out of Arlington, VA and are pretty good 'bout getting their lamps out.
It's been a super busy day so I'll just update with some photos from this morning:

Looking awesome... How much longer you planning on vegging?
I was just asking about delivery time because I ordered a panel yesterday morning and I was hoping I would get it by Friday. I live about 5 hrs drive from Arlington.

Appreciate the love yall. The ladies really love the panel and I gotta say it's nice working under the white lights instead of the perpetual purple lol And I'm liking how the thinner leaves are looking on the Haze.
I'm not quite sure how much longer I was going to veg 'cause I was contemplating laying down some LST, but the ladies are doing so well on their own I may just flip in 10-14 days. Being so close to Arlington I would just shoot them an email and ask them to send you a note when they get it shipped out. If they get it out today, you should get it by Thursday probably.
I'm running out of available grow space but this SGS honestly makes me want to buy at least one more! Not because I need more light but because I can't find anything wrong with it, am really enjoying working on, and hell for $490 it's one of those times that you know you're getting your money worth.

What up world? I was laid up all day in bed throwing up, barely had enough time to sprinkle them w some water ya dig? I'm still not 100 so I'll keep this shot. Everything's been going well I've been increasing Sensi Grow to about 1/ml per gal and the ladies seem to really love it. The fallen angels look like they still may be a little hungry so I may get them a little extra. All the ladies appear to have handled the transplant very well, and am considering another week to 10 days of veg time.
Here are the pics:
The last two pics were taken in my other tent under the smaller 4 spot Area 51 A5-90.
Edit: I got 3 more Chemdawg just about ready to break ground!

Got two on the way for my tent as well...timing will be perfect for my next grow. My old ProSource 180's will be history....they've served me well though.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what are HHG's?
Today I turned the lights off so I will count today as the first day of switch. I brought in my little dehumidifier and the little ladies are doing great!
Here are some pics from the last couple days:

Well I haven't really given much thought to supplemental lighting with the SGS yet, so far it's really pulling it's weight.
So far everything has been going really well.. Everything's been keeping really good color etc. Only fatality has been one of the Chemdawgs that didn't want to make it. I'm already getting a nice odor which isn't really a good thing. If stretch stays to a minimum I will get a filter/fan but I don't want to invest in odor control if I'm just going to end up throwing it in the 3x3 with the SolarFlare.. As you can see I still haven't figured out exactly where everything is going to end up.

Damn I just had a full write up done and Chrome crashes.. A random drink check in the fridge and I noticed a lettuce container that I saw would be perfect for rooting some clippings. So I ran up to the Home Depot and got some rooting hormone and threw some clippings in the rockwool.
Anyways, there's a marathon of one of these Amish shows and somehow I'm on my 3rd hour watching it (one of the few things on I can watch with the kids) so I'll just get to the pics:
Well today was first day I fed Connoisseur and cal/mag bloom at 1ml/qt.. Everything's been going great and I'm still IN LOVE with the SGS. The 2 remaining Chemdawg's are doing great and I really hope I can figure out this cloning so I can start running some of those Attitude Bday beans.
I'm throwing a few pics of my other "garden" (hey it's the best we can do in the hood,) showing what a few days on the old formula Connoisseur can do.
Edit: I almost forgot, one of the ladies is a little more mature and stretching a bit more, so I moved it to the periphery and bent the top. I forgot what the technical term was, but I'll just refer to it as BTB (bending that bitch.) I just gave it a light snap in the direction of the light so I'll keep yall updated on how BTB works for me (gotta keep that canopy even!)

Super Cropping is the term....it my defense too when a strain pushes the limits of my light height.

winner, supercropping is the term.
I use it to "clock" the stalks when they're close to each other, so the fans can push out without too much interference. If you looks close at my pics, there are a few knots under the canopy from where I supercropped them. I just did another round too, a bunch of the under growth now gets direct light (tilting them to the light rays coming through the canopy).

3 confirmed Sour Haze males were clipped today.. It was fucking heartbreaking to have to clip something I had... Whatever, most of you have been there, but I just don't have the time/space or patience to deal with them, so I think it will be strictly fem seeds from here on.
I've moved 3 plants I was planning on working as mother in the SGS tent.. The two Chemdawgs are coming along nice, and my clone clippings appear to be doing well, so I'm thinking about bringing the clones into the veg tent and shading them real well.
I think I've pretty much decided that the SGS is going to need more head room than the little tent can do, so I am indeed going to team it alongside the Cali Lightworks 200W SolarFlare. My plan is to make sure I have definitive sex on everything in the SGS tent, then move everything over to the 3x3 Secret Jardin, where I will swap out the ol' 8 spot Area51 with the SGS and see how everything goes with a little more space.
I haven't quite figured out what all that is going to mean to this thread. I figure I wont partition any, so I apologize I wont be able to provide an accurate from bean to green under all SGS, but I can promise you I will have the 3x3 bursting with light and green once again.
I'm thinking I'm going to have the HTG doing mother duty in her tent, the 8 spot A51 (which allows me to turn off the reds, along with the 4 spot A51 if I can make space) in what is currently the SGS tent, working veg. Then let the SGS and SolarFlare finish them off in the bloom room. I know I'm going to be missing out on what that SGS can do on veg, but I think she will do me most justice in the bloom room.
After the carnage of clipping the males, I just didn't have the heart to take any pics today. If anybody sees any flaws in my design, please don't hesitate to point them out. I was really wanting to let the SGS work by itself from runt to blunt, but once the nemesis didn't pan out, I think the multi-strain idea was the death to the plan. However, I love having multiple smokes available so I think I will start working on the Attitude Bday beans I was saving. I think I will drop 2 or 3 beans Sunday, so if anybody has anything from the 'tude bday giveaway, they want to see finished in the bloom room, give me a shout.

Today I trimmed some of the undergrowth that wasn't going to amount to much. I'll see if I can notice any benefits to the remaining growth. Everything's been going well. Buds are forming good and all growth is a nice color. I also left the clones in the corner of the veg tent for the first the first day, so hopefully everything will still be standing manana.
