Have not done much other than change nutrients and keep water topped off as needed in veg room. The Girls we cloned from the first round are all 5-7 inches tall and look good after almost 2 weeks. We now have 1 mazar, 1 g-13 haze, 1 mello-d and 1 purple indica in the power grower 4 pack and will be vegging them 2 more weeks until we send them into flower. Here is a updated photo of the Veg room that im tracking in this journal.
I also included a few pics of the mother plants that are now 17 days into flowering and looking great. They will not be tracked in this journal but i will give photos from time to time.

I am really curious about how the blue kessil is working out. That color is really cool!
You guys really think the Kessil can work better than other LED? $300 a unit is not cheap. I am trying to follow everyone's experiment before I fork out the $$$.
I also found a couple of YouTube Videos, check them out.

Well they are newest and are developed by a company that does government contracts for the department of defense and similar investments. Dicon is a leading manufacturer of communications, optic and led technologies. All the other LED i see do not have near the financial backing for reserach and generally use LEDs developed by manufacturers in China. Kessil/Dicon stuff is all made in america including the LED which comes out of silicon valley cali. I just favor american companies and companies that have done millions in research before even developing a product. I also saw numerous test while they where in prototype development.

I'm using two Kessil H150 Magenta lights at the moment.
One is lighting a small SCROG plant and the other is lighting 3 clones in flower which are being grown for seeds.
The light seems to produce very compact growth with bud development nice and tight.

The more the merrier bro glad to seem some more Kessil believers. So far my plants are loving the Kessils they turn toward them and seem to approve. The veg room has been having some slight temp/humidity issues as we kept changing stuff but that is now under control and were at a steady 60% humidity and 72 degrees. They have been flourishing despite the humidity especially the stuff under the LED. But I will be adding a 2nd Blue LED to the veg room in about aweek and a T5 setup should really improve the veg room.

Have you got any bud shots of your plants, any info on yield and bud density would also be great for the Kessil lovers.

Looking good - let me know if you start your own thread and I will tag along for the ride.
Nice Grumpy and Oreoz love to see them Kessils at work ! and Thank You for following along I will check out your journals soon! +rep!
WEEK 3 UPDATE:
I have finally won the battle in the VEG tent as humidity/temp was like 75/64 on average with the power growers going full time. After few weeks of experimenting with fan setting etc we corrected the humidity/temp to like 55/74 by adding a small fan behind the veg tent that circulates air into the tent and by putting the 4 power growers air pump for feeding on a timer. Doing these two things corrected the humidity/temp to the 55/74 levels that I'm happy with. Also we found out that the Jack Herer clone we have is a girl which really excites me.
Later this week I will be purchasing a 2nd blue h150 Kessil LED for the other side of the Veg tent. This will balance growth on boths sides of the tent so I dont have to move it back and forth lol.

WEEK 4:
Everything looking good I cannot take picture because lights are out at the moment. We put 4 into flowering and replaced 4 in the veg tent in the power growers everything is looking good I will post pics tonight. So now the Flower tent has 2 4 packs going that are 4 weeks apart. Were already thinking of doing 3 4 packs and going 3 weeks apart. We have a few new strains we picked. The Jack Herer we got is definitely female and looking good we moved her into one of the power growers for next round. We also picked up a few Chesiel (Sour Diesel x Cheese x Sour Diesel) cuttings and will have a small Silver Pearl plant coming soon. Everything is looking really good we also now have all of our power growers on timers because when they run 24/7 its just too much for the smaller girls.
All in all over watering has been the biggest problems in the power growers but now they are all on timers so its smooth sailing. 2 hours on 1 hour off for now.
So basically this week we put our first 4 plants grown from clones into the flower room with the old mothers that are now 4 weeks into flower, dropped one of the 600w hps cooltubes a few feet and took out the reflector and moved the LED's a little to supplement darkspots. We added a 2nd reservoir and 4 more power growers under the cooltube that we lowered and all is well.
Pictures comming soon lights come on in about hour and half

WEEK 4 Pictures and update:
Heres the picks of the girls in flower there first weeks in and the bigger girls are on there 5th week, 6th week starts in 3 days. I added pics of the Veg tent with 2 LEDS now and new clones etc. I took few extra pictures showing 4.5 weeks of flowering girls that are huge and getting really sticky. Also we moved the Co2 outside the tent as it made more room for the 2nd reservoir.

So week 5 now added some stuff to finish off the veg room. Bought a 4bulb 4foot T5 High Output setup and got a humidifier from a friend. Now the veg room sits at constant 75-77 degrees and 52-55% humidity. Fans and feeding pumps all on timers and run when they should and Co2 is working great. Did some topping and cloning to keep the clones and perpetual cycle going. Also acquired a Silver Pearl clone, a OG kush Clone and a Violator Kush Clone. So now are strain list is near complete.
Strains growing:
G-13 Haze, Purple Indica, Jack Herer, SuperSkunk/Cinderella#99 , Mazar, Violator Kush, Silver Pearl, Chesiel, OG Kush and should aquire MKultra soon
Heres some photos of everything including the Mothers were flowering ,there exactly 39 days into flowering now and will be running 55-60 days before finishing. Over the next 3 weeks I cannot wait to see how they thicken up.

that bud looks yummy keep it up and lets see more bud porn + REP
As I have been so busy this is more of an update for week 7 than it is for week 6 but technically week 7 starts in 2 days. Everything is growing very well just keep a good routine on cleaning, flushing and doing nutrients and were good. Here are some pictures of the big girls that are almost 7 weeks in and the smaller girls that are 3 weeks in. We also will be putting 4 more in tomm as my patients allow me 18 plants total but I do not see a need for more than 12 on cycle of 4 every 3 weeks.

Well were flushing now on the big girls and theres looking really good. Because of are variety of strains we will harvest some plants a few days from others but all within a 10 day or so period. First to be done will be the SuperSkunk#99(SuperSkunk#1xCinderella99) and should be ready to harvest by friday. Things are looking really good wish these pictures did them justice but they dont. Then Purple Indica then Mazar and then like a week later G-13 Haze(which is definately worth the wait) I will have much better pictures in 2-3 weeks when all is harvested and properly dried and cured.
Recent additions:
4 more power growers so we can have 4 in veg and 12 in flower at all times.
an additional 8 outlet air pump for the flower room.
Picked up 4 new clones, 2 super lemon haze and 2 sweet island skunk.
Our strain list is getting really nasty:
G-13 Haze, Mazar, Violator Kush, Purple Indica, SS#99, Jack Herer, Super Lemon Haze, Island Sweet Skunk, Silver Pearl, Chesiel, and OG Kush.
