Fist LED grow

Hey Slipon! As always Ill ask for some advice on the LSD It seems to be getting close to harvest, but just how close? The hairs are quickly turning brown, so I dont want pass up on her and harvest too late. Ill share some photos for you to help me out ^^ Oh, I switched to 12/12 the 10th of November, so I guess perhaps another week to at least give them 60 days, but I really dont knnow too much, just glad Ive gotten this far. Looking forward for your ideas!

On another note, I know it's really sucky to upload photos to someone else's thread. Youve just always been quite welcoming about it, so I just took it for granted. Furthermore, it is also my first grow, it is also a LED light, and it is also my first grow. So it stays pretty much on topic, hope youre cool with it

instead of saying: first grow twice, the second should be: it is also the same plant

lol Np its kool, most welcome

And look great, just about there, I would say harvest window just opened, and will be next two week`s, can easily swell up a bit more if you give her a week more, so if your in no hurry do as your gut tells you and give her that week more, if you want really heavy smoke give her two

I have harvest at this early and the smoke is great and potent, I have also made them go to 70ish day and different is`t that big other the the smoke is more heavy and more likely to put you to sleep, day 60 is a good mark for the LSD if you had a smooth flowering, if you have more then one plant and want/need some early smoke it totally fine to cut one now, then you could also see for your self at what stages you like em

Cool, I will definitely let it bulk up for at least a week then. I pruned way too much before flowering, so Im not gonna end up with much, so Ill let it put on some more wait, but just water from now on And its a good idea to harvest at different points from now on through the next two weeks, but different colas are differently mature. I showed only the prettiest ones here. hehe. So Ill probably cut it down over a longer time, hoping that the lesser bulky colas will take on

again, thanks, Slipon!

This is amazing.

btw

Still going strong


My two Skunk 1# from Seedsman
Lost track of the time but its past day 60 for sure, don't mind the wires and stuff, girls are getting heavy, specially the Pheno on the left, will cut her Friday or Saturday and give her sister a week more



As usually a few top`s got light bleach, don't seem`s to make any different tho, but I have to keep my LED panel at least 40cm away to prevent it
smell is VERY fruity, sweet lemon like and fresh (I grown a lot of LSD from Barney`s and they got more of a citrus/skunk smell to em) and Im amazed how the trichome`s have developed the last few week`s, so frosty

Hey slipon sorry if you wrote it somewhere Nd I did see it but is your light a selective switch and if so is that the full spec. Or just flower

I have two lights going (are both posted in this thread with pics and specs aso)

first panel I got is a bulldog fixture (similar to Apollo) and I got em to customize it for flowering (I Veg with T5HOs) other one is a LG panel and have a Veg and a bloom switch, have it on bloom so all the LEDs is light up (Veg mode only light up half the "Red`s")

I got a total of 216x3W LEDs going on in there, trowing out around 472W in total, with roughly a 8-1-1 ratio (Red/white/blue)

Just a few pictures from me to day


Got the next four Skunk 1# in under the LEDs




And a few main top`s from the harvest


Very frosty and sticky, smell is mild compared to the LSD I usually grow, more like sweet lemon then the citrus/skunk smell the LSD give, but the effect is`t mild, not as couch locking as the LSD, but you get just as high, a better day time smoke then the LSD I guess and you just have to smoke enough and it will put you to sleep if thats the goal

Cola`s are very compact (each of them Top`s in the picture weigh between 8 and +10 gram`s) and I guess I hit my usually +200 grams from my 473W of LEDs running 8 weeks time

A few from to day (end of week two of 12/12)

looks great and healthy

You have probably said what lights you are using but dont really feel like sifting through 50 pages


Can you give me the name please....

your grow looks like it is going to have you trimming for a few hours .


Nice one

sure thing, your not the first who ask

I got two panels, main panel is a Fero Bulldog light with 120x3W with a total of 280W its customized for flowering with a majority of Red LEDs (620-700nm)
other panel is a LG panel with 96x3W and a total power used on 192W

Thanks

How do you find the Fero and the LG have you had any problems... saw one guy on here who had aluminium shards all through his heat sink..I can get those LG ones failry cheap but thinking I may go for Area 51..


Great looking plants too

If you have the option, go for the Area-51 for sure, you won't regret it, after all its not like your going to have to replace em every year and quality and great service/warranty is for sure worth the little extra cash, the Bulldog I got from Fero EU (Im in Denmark, why I did`t go for the A-51 as custom vat is like +25%)

The LG do the Job, had no problems so fare and did a few grows with em, but they don't have secondary lenses on em so penetration is`t as great as with the Bulldog or Area-51 as they both have, my light meter read about double the output from the Bulldog and the Area-51 even got 5W LEDs on its new fixtures with all white (3500K I believe) two of them will for sure replace a 600W with 320ish watt used, if I where in the US and had to go that route agin I would for sure spend them +1K $ on two A-51 lights

thanks mate...

That's what I did exactly. Picked up 2 2014 A51 panels, and they definitely will replace a 600W, no worries. The upfront cost is always more with led, but if you consider all the extra ventilation, watering, and other BS, that you need with hid, LED's are the way to go.

Day 20ish

beginning of week 4 still only 1/3 in, look nice and healthy as usually they love the Bat Guano (fresh soil in Veg and Bat guano as top dress in flowering works great)



Its four Skunk 1# in 4g pots with organic seedling soil with 30% perlite, all been toped/FIM and trained a bit
