Hey thanks for the kind words. So the heights I use for flowering are about 18 inches, sometimes a little further or closer. So my favorite lights that ive personally used are my apache tech at120wr (3:2) and the xml, followed by the original diamond series and kessil h350. But if I were to try a new light from someone new, id want to try out the lumigrow pro series or california lightworks. Those are two of the better lights out in my opinion. For your 5x9, I don't know, id shoot for around 1200 actual watts of quality leds. Just a quick estimate, might need more or could maybe get away with less. Hope this helps, your plants look great by the way.

Anytime bro ur da shit Puff!
I've been looking into the cali lightworks already and that was one of my choices along with the XML light I have now its rockin for me I'm really happy with it!
I was looking into 5 or 6 of the 200w solar flares? what do u think about that or should I grab a couple more? Maybe just see what happens with the 6 and go from there. haha some times I just need to type it and figure it out myself lol
The lumigrow looks good but a bit pricy and was thinking having a bunch of smaller units would get better coverage. IMO
The rest u mentioned are decent too seen some good grows from all of them but I think I might be sold on the flares..
Anyone know of any newer lights coming out in the next few months? I might hold off on these if there are some new neat toys coming out? Thanks in advance for any info!
My buddy had a couple lights kickin around a blackstar and a ufo so heres a pic. Couldn't hurt for the last month and a bit!!Attachments

!Quick Update!
Girls are doing good! Nothin to report but they are gettin some nice trics especially the lemon skunk!
So as of lately Ive been making oil with my bro and bought a micro g pen and its funkin awesome!!
My bro has the G pen and its aight I guess but when I saw the Micro G Pen I had to have it!! and it comes with 2 pens!!! Also the element is nicer and heats up real quick, just dab, push and enjoy!
Also I met the most amazing old horticulture Hippy'ish kinda guy reminded me of a Green Santa, super friendly and Smmmmmmmmart!! LIKE WOW!! Met him through an older friend of mine and not only did I get the weirdest lookin weed grown in coffee taste like coffee/prime time but it got us BAKED beyond belief. ( Not even Shitting you ) ( Look at pics ) Sorry didn't get a close up with my buddies cam.
This (
Green Santa ) as I will call him, gave me his number and I can call him whenever I like! ( What a score for me ) You read and hear about guys like this but never thought I would meet one.
I've never met someone so knowledgeable about growing, and the experiments he has told me about that he's done and is doing. (WOW) I will see how it goes with Green Santa and once he gets to know me better I'll see if he will let me take notes and pics of some of his experiments so I can post on here. ( Simply Amazing )
Anyway here are a few pics of the girls!

Well this grow has been fun but time to get the girls ready for their big rest.
Started their flush a few days ago buds are lookin good and the smell!!! Yum!
Heres a pic with a lighter to judge size.
Also something I found really neat is my ANL and the two phenotype's that are more prominent. Some are more Sativa dominant and some are more Indica. Really looking forward on tasting these girls!!
Oh and heres a pic of the clone thats gonna be my mommy for this strain that was the most healthy in her temporary home.

Well I'm sorry I hadn't noticed this sooner. I have a XML 150 still in the box I bought back in November (I know wtf) but I'm finalizing the cab and stealth options. But anyway that's a great grow. I look forward to harvest and final weight. Can't weight for the side by side between new area 51s and the advanced series! Subbed and again great first grow.

Thanks very much Demonhaze! Pull up a stump and get ready for a show! My units should be shipped on the 22nd so it all depends on shipping!
I will be starting another thread in the LED LIGHTING section for the DS XML 350 vs 2xArea51 sgs-160. Stoked!!

Well Guys n Gals!
The ladies took their final rest last night. ( Shed's Tear ) But on to bigger and better things!
Heres a pic of a girl I took down a few days back that is now curing in jars.
The other 2 are from this afternoon after I got up from my late night early morning!
I'll get the final weight when I buy another large scale and everything is dried and cured. ( Yes I'm been sneaking buds and smoking a few of them )

Nice grow mate, still think its kinda weird that you trimmed all the leaves halfway through (goes against everything I know about growing!) especially when you cut them half off 
only ever seen that with clones, maybe it's a led thing, lol.
also a little tip for when your drying, if you dry in them drop down things it's better to remove them from the stalk, you only really keep them on the branch if you hanging them, they'll dry quicker too as you won't have to wait for the branch to dry. There's more chance of promoting bud rot and mould when the buds are touching and left on the branch.
not dissing before I get flamed, just tryna give some advice I've gathered
keep up the growing bud!

So didn't do a wet weight as I was up late/early morning and was tired.Will throw up dry weight soon!
On another note, turns out my one lemon skunk that was fem herm'd on me and I am the proud owner of about 50 Atomic Northern Lights x Lemon Skunk.Only the lemon and 1 ANL was effected. I wanted to get into cross breading anyway, so here is my first hands on lesson.
So I will be growing these girls outside for shits and giggles.
