Pushing through 4th week. Aroma is now filling the house gotta love it best airfreshner you can get started up some new girls this should b3 run as I have 1 clone I bought 2 that I popped just because they were extras and 3 didn't pop. So I did 4 more seeds they popped and did 3 more 2 look.to be 100% healthy 1 is prob going to die the root tip just isn't growing watering and it moves around instantly. But we will see. So long story short 4 different stages and im going to try making them 1 even canopy with training. Should be fun :) 20161201_191155.jpg 20161201_191328.jpg

Lol proof is in the pudding. 400 true led watts and 400 hps watts :) The light spectrum on the roleadro is close to the cree lights. I also have heard the theory mixing hps with led has its benefits and could grow more potent bud. Once again guess I can personally find out in 5 more weeks :)
I'm also running mixed lighting and am thoroughly impressed with the results.

I'm on day 25 after first sign of flower...Strain is Clone only "Gorilla Glue"

I run a California Light Works Solar System 550 which is 400 actual watts & a 400 watt hps in a cool tube

I'm running eight GG#1 clones and two GGx4-S1's

I will work on starting a log over here.


My current run is the first I've ran led/hps mix...I have incredible vigor, resin production and flower growth. So it will be interesting to follow your log.

Whereabouts are you located? I'm in Hanford, CA

Medical card holder and state recreational

So what did you think of Dream Machine? I have two seedlings.. Just wondering what to expect and wondering if I should keep them going..

Also, just a tip, Get some reflectors for those CFL's in Veg, Just cut up a dashboard reflector or something and attach to the light. I recently did a test and found that I get 3x the FLUX on my plants with a simple 50 cent reflector.

they are doing great so far! very stable genetics with great frost popping early. I'm def going to be sticking to this as one of 2 of my indica sleepy time meds. I plan to run 2 indicas, 2 50/50 hybrids, and 2 sativas. just to have balance. one of the hybrids will be pennywise which is a 50/50 of thc to cbd if I'm correct. around 15% each. oh and they stretched from 20 inches to about 34 inches in their 3 week stretch. worked out great for my scrog setup. as for the cfls I totally hear yea and I totally mean to but they are just corner lights to help the corner buds but u know I might as well make a cone at least lol but like I said its just additional corner lights for the spots that get the least amount of par. I plan to switch it to 40-50 watt single cfl for each corner. I have plenty of single bulb reflectors and that should do the trick. ill take pics after I make shift mcgyver it lol who knows maybe the buds will push harder and I can thank u for the added yield :) ps thanks for the first tip!

Looks beautiful. Love those fan leafs. Going to be crazy at the end with the crystals

Whats your grow space?
The whole tent is an 8x8 but I have a 4x4 veg room inside and a 4x8 flower room but total plant canopy is 5 ft x 4 ft. This is a 10 plant Scrog in 7 gal pots just happens 10 pots makes a 5x4 canopy :)

Day 38 in flower they've really started to smell sweet with aromas right when you open the door to the room. The buds have started to fatten, calyx pushing through in majority of the cola buds. Some lower buds have started to push a touch too. Gotta love seeing buds build on buds.

20161219_155544.jpg 20161219_155248.jpg 20161219_133644.jpg sitting at day 49 I'm going to give it one more week. Just a guess. it's said to finish at 63 days but I think my slightly shorter light on schedule and leds may have finished it a bit faster?who knows we will see! But anyways leaves def starting to yellow as im feeding it just dry Kool bloom and some sugar/molasses at this point.

Day 50, I may be wrong seems they started adding weight again as all of them are falling over in the trellis net. 20161220_195103.jpg

Day 52 checked trichs again. Still plenty of clear saw a few amber on leaves but not on buds buds were about 25% cloudy it seems. Plan is to water in 2-3 days with a flush using flora kleen and 2-3 days of light after flush followed by 24hrs dark then chop on day 58-60 barneys says it's suppose to take 63 days so pretty much on schedule! My light period is 11.5 light to 12.5 dark20161222_132011.jpg 20161222_132010.jpg 20161222_131754.jpg 20161222_131727.jpg
