ill have to try fim sometime i topped one of my clones right before flowering the stem started growing like a slingshot weird but cool
it can be kinda tricky to fim ur plants. somtime u get it som times u dont. but even if u dont do it right it will just top ur plant so u win eathier way just not as good.

no need for balls man, my lights are female like my plants
Haha, i get everyones arguments and theres certainly mixed views. all i know is that in a mtr x mtr x 2mtr high space ya can pull 14 dry oz a plant with just one 600 light. i have a blue 600 for veg and a red 600 for flower, part way through flower i give a mixed bulb that emits the balance of red and blue i need. i do hydro and have thought about leds a few times but yes until theyre up to scratch and cheaper i wont be buying any. however i will make a led board up myself and then do a test of say 400 watt led to 400 watt hid on some diesel ryder autos iv just started off. il get babk to you in a few weeks and let you know how its looking with pics for comparison all the way through, say once a week or so. Just need a little intel guys. Is an led an led or is there different types (outputs and spectrums). im sure there all the same but would just like conformation. and also what ratio should red/blue be in? im sure its about60 blue 40 red but not sure.

There is a difference in LED's, to have a good grow you need at least 1 watt LED's in the correct nm. Those panels on ebay, alot only use low watt leds and don't put out the power. I just added a 90 watt UFO today and using it on the side (I don't have it above my plant). Above the plant I am using a small 150 watt hps and a 24 inch x 4 bulb T5 with 3k x2 and 6500k x 2. I only have one plant, the other 2 turned out to be males. So I am using way too much right now for 1, but sure looking nice.

I dunno bigkuz...

I'm at week 6 too... and my buds, under 940 watts led red 620-645...

look twice as crazy, and are pure sativa even, The sugar leaves are all waxed over and like acid dark green. Fucking electric. Dumping p/k on them presently, and trying out some of that humbolt gravity.

Anyways,
Aren't you excited> How long you gonna run them for? A full eight to nine even TEN weeks in?

Treeth....can you post some pictures? In that wavelength it is hard to see anything but fluffy bud sets.

hahahaha dude,

all misconception. really. but i can't teach you; cause you have to learn.

The treeth is for yourself! , or, you gotta-keep-it-hid ...

Its about wattage more than marking the frequency spot on.

the color is almost less important than the power. the HPS proves that...

A plant can run on more than just two frequencies... just less efficiently and with more drama than necessary. So, I'm sorry, but I can't post pics. its not cool. I don't have a proxy.

So until then I simply won't share.

Mine are dense though. i dunno how they're gonna finish. Do they, the calyx 's layer themselves over each other when the fill out and stuff,

im at the beginning of week six.

i'm talkin downright waxy sugar leaves, unable to cope with all the light- sour looking, but they smell sweeter than sugar.

idk i need to post pics.

im excited to harvest this but more so for the purple. these god bud clones were revegged with buds on them, and have had pretty fucked up lives from my mistakes, but the purple is very healthy, hopefully less mistakes by me

one of the god buds is dying i think. i checked on em tonight and a bunch of leaves are totally brown and wrinkled up. i will try to take the other one probably 9 or 10 weeks, but one isnt gonna make it

ok so they arent dying, but there is a problem. the two god buds are both either hermafrodite? or seeding im not sure which but the buds look kinda gross, not sure what to do

god bud were hermies, totally seeded. i thought they were just tight little nugs, but they were hard from seed lol. so the god bud is now hash, the purple buddahs are going good, and 12 small to mid size plants/clones goin. i am getting a few 15 watt warm spectrum led bulbs, made of 3w cree bulbs to supplement, and switching from 5 gallon buckets to 25 gallon rubbermaid tubs for about 9 to 12 clones per tub. pics in a bit
