I have a blackstar, I dont have a progrow though so the 'miles' is just speculation, and a bit of the British in me. I did end up paying almost $300 for my 240w blackstar after shipping. (I opted for next day air lol). I would say miles just because you are getting more output for almost the...

Mine is kind of lollipopd too. I used subcools method of topping, then supercropping, then tying down branches to lower and open canopy. When I use a lux meter i get an even reading on almost every bud site. The next 4 weeks is going to go sooo sllllloooooowww

you can still grow long colas, you actually grow more when you train them. And psytrance is probably right about vegging longer... as long as you couple that extended vegging with training.

Dont let the diode wattage make your decision. Some bulbs are 3w diodes but they have 3 chips too, so not 'true' 3watt. Progrow has a GREAT reputation. Although I dont own one I will soon, probably the 180. For $300 I would say that is miles better than the Blackstar 240, due to the fact...

this grow has been 100% cfl/led. I dont even have an HID bulb in my house I have thinned her quite a bit since this pic

I think you still are lol

This is my girl under the blackstar and cfls taken a few days ago... I think she's looking good, ~4 weeks in not so bad, considering i've been quite rough on her (first timer here, only with bud, I love plants, lol)

I go 6pm-6am night time

I'm sorry, my timer actually clicked off while I was still fiddling, I had to just zip up and wait for the morning. But tomorrow is Sunday, so urm Ill be taking a round of progress pics. I will post em tomorrow. I hope the plant doesnt mind having one LED on half of it and another on the...

what voidling said. So when you grow with HID lights you can let the plant grow in a more natural way, ie you dont have to train it to get it to produce lots of fat sticky buds. This is because the light is powerful enough to penetrate through the upper canopy of leaves and provide the...

So they finally got back to me and said a power cord would be shipped monday... But still buyer beware because I was prompted to ask them first due to another buyer's review citing the same problem. So they have made it right, but I think considering how much misinformatin and sketchy shit...

dont get me wrong, when I grabbed my extra power cord the thing lights up real nice like... I was a bit concerned to see 3x green diodes and a few yellow as well. Seems like useless lumens but hey she looks good, solid and the fans are keeping her really cool too so. I have nothing bad to say...

Lol no power cord. Even though I emailed Mike (the guy at growled) before buying it and he confirmed to me that it came with power cords. I read some shady reviews on ebay about him sending items without them. So when he assured me that they came with I thought shit yea Ill buy that! Alas...

I almost kissed the Fedex guy. So I got my 100w spectra. I am now going to add it to my 240w Blackstar and finish up the last 3 weeks of flower running both on one plant 4sq feet. Pics as soon as I clean up!

Thanks massah, I tried to say that but instead I just called that guy an asshole lol

You should read some manners FAQ's and etiquette books so you dont look like a big asshole. :clap: The reason there is a WHOLE ENTIRE FORUM dedicated to NEWBIES is so they can ask specific questions about growing. Maybe they dont want to read 101FAQs to maybe maybe not get the answer they...

LED naysayers say this shit a lot. That was probably true 2-3 years ago but now the technology is there. The ONLY thing HID has on LED for any stage of development is over all lumen output per watt and light penetration. I guess when you only factor bulb/reflector/ballast HID wins in $/lux...

Just order seeds from attitude or nirvana, dont order 100s of em but maybe 10-15 feminized and germ 1of each strain (3or4) and then just provide your own clones. Once a year or so you can order more seeds and change up your strains. Or if you get sick of your own stuff grab a 1/4 from a...

well, if we want it to be legal, we have to accept that it will also be regulated. As fucked as this set of legislation might be, its still the first step towards a regulated MMJ system. Imagine if there was no regulatory body governing the wine industry in WA? Its not surprising that if...

Quite well said!
