Here is my new garden. 6 buckets set up with a 55 gallon drum, only about half full.

300 watt LED light has been used for all stages of growth on these plants.

Here is a link to the first part of this grow, not done in the ebb & gro. Also shown is the current veg/flower room.

ebb & flow is the way to grow! i just put in another couple buckets, now up to 9 buckets flowering. Just had to cut some tubing and connect some adapters. Since growing medicine takes so long, its sure great the dispensary option is available.
 
6/6 random bagseeds are female, so that's basically awesome.

Now I have 3 plants that have been flowering a little over a week, 3 that just showed hairs within the last 3 days, and 2 just put on 12/12.

i just added 4 more plants to the ebb & gro 12/12. they are a little young to be flowering, but now I'm just very impatient and also I can grow up to 100 square feet so I can use the entire room to grow. And I hope my 2 new lights show up soon...one more 300watt LED and also a HPS/MH...I think eventually After I get a nice round of clones going I'll do my own 300watt led vs 400watt hid comparison. I will still flower to maturity at least 3 plants with just the LED lights.
 
here are some fresh pics

a 300 watt light should cost 500 delivered or less...

urg....almost 2 months to go i'm loosin my mind
 
so I got my Reptisun 5.0 UVB CFL and clamp ficture. Its only 26watts so I think i'll be using this on all my grows. i just put it on late today. this light is only really for increased trichome production and won't do much else, so I think its basically a pure LED grow since UVB LED would cost me $500+ for what this 26watt light does. people are already saying LED produce stankier/denser/more potent nuggets so maybe this will push it over the top...

The buds are getting way bigger as time passes. I'll update with pictures tomorrow.

I also added another bucket to the ebb & grow, so thats 11 buckets now. and got my 6 bucket expansion kit, so I have another 7 to go when ready.

I am germinating many bag seeds, almost maxed out my 72 site germination station with popped seeds, and will max it out by tomorrow. Most cracked in 24 hours or less with that heat pad...MUCH better than an unheated attempt, where some took a week. I am doing this because I will grow them all in the 6 inch dome and only keep 12 of the top growing plants, and destroy/give away the rest to other MMJ patients.

For kind of a test and boredom I transplanted some of the plants that were 4 to a planter in the emilys garden into their own planter. I broke one 6 inch plant in half, but it still was connected. I used electrical tape to make it stand up straight again. Hopefully it healts itself. I'll know by tomorrow probably. Maybe if it doesn't, I can just re-snip the bottom and try and clone it, although I think I might just let it die if so, since its still sharing a planter with another plant.

josh420: this is yet another LED grow that has switched to HPS for flowering haha...i did use the 300 watt LED for 12/12 and a week of the plants showing flowers....

i just have more watts with the HID so I'm using that for flowering....

so my lighting situation is like this:
2x 300 watts ( 600 watts total ) LED lights vegging 18 plants, plus an extra 75 watts
2x 400 watts ( 800 watts total ) HPS lights flowering 12 plants

my 300 watt led grow has turned into 1500 watt hps/led grow.

and I pulled my first male plant last night, but it had pistils too so it was very hermie.
 
here we are...gettin some nice growth...about a month into flowering

i cut down 3 of the biggest plants, probably a month early. I didn't want to buy weed. I'll post some pictures of buds. I only got maybe 3 ounces. So no too bad. The other plants I should be able to let flower longer and they are lookin great
 
heres a harvest of a small plant
