the hang drying is really giving it a nice look, hopefully a little fuller taste last batch was a little airy and not as much flavor as i hoped( i think both from drying with fans)

Sub'd


Do you have problems with the weight of the stems in the nugs after trim, since they veg so hard?

Cool. I was thinking of running MH or an LED during vegging. What do you think of those dual core bulbs?

Apologies, but after so many have bashed LEDs, just wanted to get your opinion. I have a small growlab 80. Slightly more than 2'x2' so I can grow a couple plants here or there recreationally. Heat and ventilation are concerns for me as well as the fact that I only have 15amps in the location.

Can I successfully grow and flower with one or 2 90W UFO LEDs? If so, is it recommended to get the 660 NM LEDs?

My other option is to deal with the heat/ventilation and use a used 400W HPS that I can get fairly cheap from a friend. Is that overkill for 2x2?

Alternatively, how about a set of 8 2' T5 fluorescents? Assuming they also run cooler than HPS (and wouldn't need cooling) and I can change the color when going from veg to flower...

Any feedback is appreciated!

BTW, great nug shots!
