Hey All,
Never posted here before but was looking for some advice...

Doing an organic grow with 15 cloned Pot of Gold and Tutti Fruit ti a friend gave me. All going well so far but I forgot when I turned them to flowering (had problems in my accommodation thought the landlord was going to boot us and I would have to destroy them etc... life issues :-). I think it's about 6.5 weeks...

Anyway, some of the top colas are showing amber trichs while under neath they are still fairly clear or white. Also, the area directly under the light is lacking nitrogen, my fan leaves are turning yellow, while the outside plants are still very green.

Just looking for opinions on what maybe happening. I though maybe because the ones directly under the light are getting the most light, they are fattening up faster and using more nutes while the outskirts are using less.

Overall im happy with the apollo though, it was a risky purchase but its great for where I am. The heat keep the plants just warm enough, I had to buy a dehumidifier as the house is very damp.
Using canna organics a mate gave me a lend of. And molasses the last few weeks...
Electricity is running at:

350W - Apollo 10
300W - Dehumidifier
33W - Small inline
30W - Fan

So under 720W. Not too bad... I'll give a weight/watt breakdown when Im finished. Anyone used an apollo in here before... any advice on the crop circle thing Im seeing.
Light spec is:

8 Red 660nm
4 Red 630nm
1 Blue 460nm
1 Blue 420-430nm
1 White 2700K

(All 120 Degree - you can't pick 120 and 90 , I though you could but the 120s seem to be grand)




Thanks lads... yaaaaaa, weed (sorry I couldn't do a full journal, no time man, no time...)

im growing with a apollo 10 too, actually two of them but only one running right now as im still vegging. i cant add anything but your grow is giving me confidence that what i have planned will work. there are a few promising apollo grows out there but theyre hard to find. mostly because the posters dont put 'apollo cidly' in their titles. heres a good grow with the apollo 6 and cinderella 99:

the guys who grow autoflowers have been having good results with this light as well but they are usually using a 4 or 6 spot apollo. is this your first run with it? what is the size of your box and what are the temps? heres my cidly apollo 10 grow:

Yea I did a lot of research before buying it... a lot of people seem very against LED's for no real reason so i had to cut through the shite too before I found some decent calls on them.

This is my first run, i was planning on sea of green with another apollo 10 I got for vegging... (little more blue in it) but in the end I wont be able in this property so
i have another closet with an apollo 6, same LED spec with a couple of 3 Bomb THC's and 3 vanilla cush which were going to be my mothers. After this crop is taken down Im going to
run them under the same light.

The grow area is about 60cm by 90cm and The light is about 34cm above the tallest plants.

Oh the temps are higher than i expected too but my extractor isnt the best... Running about 28 - 30 degrees.
That is probably because of the dehumidifier also but this is necessary as the house is sopping wet...
Humidity everywhere in here.

Yea I think they worked out well... They work for certain situations fairly well. Penetration may be down so SOG or SCROG probably works better. I used to use lamps and ballasts and had
two near fires (avoided by safety measures I had taken). They are definitely were a bit more of a headache for me. But they probably edge out LED's at the moment for overall light intensity at a cost.
I like LED's in that I can just switch them on and leave them. I think I packed out the space a bit on this grow and it was my first time doing scroged weed so I messed it up a bit (non uniform height)
but the proof is in the pudding so Ill let you know the finals on weight.
