Had to fix a couple of my oscillating fans today that werent rotating. Watered my girls week 4 nutes and started BUD XL today. Be prepared for some monster buds after starting feeding these girls that. Penetration of the LEDs are still pretty impressive with the formation of pistils and future bud sites at the bottom of the plants. 35 more days to go and I can't imagine how big these buds are going to be!

Thanks Rushed. Yes things are looking good this time around! I stopped using any foliar sprays during flowering, and I don't close up my tent completely anymore. I use my dehumidifier on watering days, and whenever my RH is out of line. Im watching with you, hopefully it will be a nice harvest this time!

Very nice sleezy! I didn't end up so well but am currently about 10 days into a 10 site hydro/dwc system that I'm comfortable with. This time around I'm on point and didn't cut a single corner. 
I'll post a few highlights soon. Any way things are looking hella good for you and best of luck not that your going to need it! =)

Ledgrowing, what do you think was the reason for the death of your blackstars? I heard they do not operate well under heat; anything above 80 degrees.

Updated pics at lights out. Girls are looking mighty sexy and frosty. Room stinks every morning I come in now. Might have to get more gonzo bags outside of the tent..

Ya I was skeptical of LEDs for a while, but I decided to take the plunge and the risk and start growing with them. It took me a couple grows to really learn how these LEDs work, etc. I am getting things dialed in pretty good this grow. I am surprised of my bud formation and smell so early at day 29! But I know the flowering time for LA CON can be a 7 week plant, so It makes sense. I am loving the cola formations, and im just so excited knowing I have 31 days left!

Ill be approaching 6 months at the end of this grow. My temperature in my tent is around 80-82 degrees. No malfunctions as of yet. I have a 2011 model for both my 500watts

Hey sleezy, I know you are doing plenty of things right in your grows; not just the led lighting. What would you say are some things that you learned from using your led lights? What's very important when using them that might lead to a difference in the long run?
