Ive been watching This for awhile, looks great man. Looks like you're proving you don't necessarily need to run a scrog with led. Your plants are looking great! I think my first led purchase is going to be a 240 and to be successful it only has to 1. Equal at least my 150 hps. 2. Lower my cabinet temps so I can get a smaller fan. I think my goals are attainable. Then if all goes well I'd get a little bigger tent and run 2 lights. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'm also kicking around the idea of using a space of 2x4 with a single 500 or 240 on a short light rail

How much u pullin off that 150 pretty sure that panel will blow it out the water. But it depends on the style you plan on growing. You will most def lower temps and be able to go to a smaller fan I generally pull around four ounces off my 240w panel. Scrog or sog with hydro is your best bet for maximum yield. I just did 2 3/4 ounces off a 3 gallon lot on a super rootbound blue dream. I know there was a lot more left in it. I would say off of a single supercropped/scrogged plant under a 240 if pushed hard and a proper high yielding strain you should be able to get up to five I would think. I pulled five off of a 2x3 ebb and flow with about sixteen in a sog style setup. It's a good panel to get into LEDs with I wouldn't go any smaller though perfect if all your doing is a small personal perpetual.

I've yet to get a yield off my cabinet, my last endeavor was going smoothly till my single pant hermied and I chopped it. I think I was on target to get an ounce or 2. I'm not doing one plant anymore though, I've got 6 going right now 12/12 from start. I'd like a light that I can have all these different size plants and get decent penetration still without having to use cd cases to bring smaller babies closer to the light. I'd even consider a 500 in my tiny space if I could have it mounted at the top of the cab and never have to move it or my plants.

Do the 500 man how bigs your cab and what do u expect to yield.

Thanks Rushed! Ya after a couple cycles I was able to get the setup down. Now I have the perfect environment for my tent, perfect nutes and light distance all nailed down. I will try to finish this off till the end!

Hi Supchaka? Thanks for following my grow journals! I wish there were more when I first started growing with LEDs. I learned how to really grow with these leds thru trial and error and now I think I got it all dialed in. Let me know if you have any questions regarding growing with these blackstars. I love these lights, best bang for the buck! I grew in a cab with a 300w LED SCROG my very first grow and yielded over 4 ounces off a Fire OG kush plant in a 5 gallon pot. It did get kinda cramped in there, but it was do able. I would just go straight to the tent setup! I would go with 2 lights in that tent. Instead of one 500w, I would use 2 240w to cover the whole area correctly. When growing with LEDs you will notice that "the sweet spot" is kinda limited. so you would have to distance your light correctly and make sure you have enough lights to cover your whole area. For 6 plants I would use 2 lights. For a cab grow... Depends on how big that cab is, but you can get away with even just 1 240 in there. A 500 might be an overkill in a tight space.

Yep only other led I definattively reccomend is kessils fuckin amazing gpw ratios running those as well as quality. I like a combo of them and blackstars to dial in a real nice spectrum and have a nice footprint.

Sup Jin& Juicer? I actually have 2 more batches going right now! This Pre 98 Bubba, and some barney farm's Vanilla Kush! Catch up bro, catch up! I will post pics at lights out soon for these Pre 98 Bubba, and I will also post some pics of my seedlings of Vanilla Kush. Glad you like it so far! It means a lot when a bomb ass grower says my shit looks good! =)

So I decided to show a few updates here and there on the progress of my future grow, Vanilla Kush. I have them under my 300w LED light, in a stealth grow cabinet. I just transplanted them into bigger containers and I can tell they are going to outgrow them and my cabinet before my PRE 98 Bubba is done. So I will try to keep them in here as long as possible, before I erect my other grow tent and throw them in 3 gallon pots so I can flip them to 12/12 right away when this grow is done. Here are some recent pics of these Vanilla Kush.

Here are some pics at lights out for day 33. I treated my plants with serenade once again. I think I might just do it once a week until harvest. Anyways, here are some pics of some closeups of the buds. Hope you enjoy! I don't even touch them anymore because it is full of resin already and sticky. It smells already of bomb ass Bubba kush! I think this is going to be one of my best harvest in terms of dankiness, not yield.
