Hey GroErr, based on your previous and current experience, do you believe there is any part of the spectrum that is slightly lacking, or where there might be a benefit in supplementing for these LEC lamps? Either the 4200k lamp in veg or 3100k lamp in flower? (Come to think of it, I don't remember which lamp you are flowering with, I just assumed it is the 3100k and am too lazy to read back and check;))

I'm only flowering with them with the 3100k. No need for supplement but I have had more frost with the White LED COBs. Plan is to supplement down the road with some LED's to see if I can get the growth/weight from the CMH and a little more frost from the LED's.

Trying just 630/660 nm Reds with that green LED panel you see in there. Not expecting much but even though those LG LED's weren't great for flowering, they did a decent job on frost/quality. Too early to tell whether they've made any difference yet over the smaller 3x3. That panel with only the Reds pulls 85w and have no other use for it so worth a try. I have a couple of JTR's in there for reference so should be able to tell as I've run JTR's under the LG panels, CMH-only and some white COBs in my tent.

Little haul from the little LED tent, nice batch of Harlequin's. Took the rest down at Day 54, they were all good to go. Looking like 4-5 zips total, not bad with no training. Will dry them all and post the weights when they're all done. Nice little treat for the holidays :) Will start pulling from the main flower room next week with the Super Skunk. Ho, ho, ho :bigjoint:

Some shots with a rough haircut to dry, nice frost on these, powerful meds. Tried a bud of the Pheno 1 and had the same effects :D

That is a huge cola!
Thanks, liking this strain, should be a good producer of great tasting heavy meds. That LED tent is throwing out some nice size\ frosty buds :D

Fucking a right bro! I'm hoping mine pack on the weight like that! I'm still wondering how much this maui cross has influenced it. Regardless should be some nice meds, Here's a shot from day 29 of pheno 1...
Thanks, looking great, lots of time left to fatten up :)

Day 44 and Day 33 for the two 3x3's. Coming along, fattening up and frosting up stage. Labeled the plants for reference. There was one I thought was a JTR clone from a flowering plant, was actually a PPP. Must have been sampling when I labelled them ;)

It's crazy how many different strains you've got in there and still managed to keep a fairly even canopy. I'm impressed. Are you actively training during veg to set them up for that even canopy in flower? I was having a hell of a time figuring out how to tie everything down before, stakes kept getting pulled right out of the dirt, and I was worried about stabbing roots and what not - then I had an epiphany: the runnoff trays under my pots are just a thick plastic, so I took my trimming scissors and poked holes all around the edge of the trays, then used my girls sewing thread to tie everybody down to those holes. Gotta be more careful moving the pots around now, but it's working out much better. Looking to hit a more uniform canopy next run like what you've got going on...that shit looks spot on bro. Little jealous over here >D

Hey thanks Ayr0n, sounds like you found a spot to anchor them well. Those trellises really help with keeping them somewhat even and spread out. Only tied them down at the beginning, the smaller one was easier to manage. The larger one is out of control but I didn't even bother trying to keep it even, just spread them out to get light through to the centre. It's definitely much easier when doing the same strains, I'll try and match up strains that grow similar together but this round was quite a mix :)

Busy time for clones and vegging, moving things around and using temporary spots to keep the next 3-4 rounds going.

The clone/seed cabinet is down to mainly Blue Dream clones in cups that will be up-potted over the next few days. 2 larger one's are going to my son, in his stocking ;) The other 4 will flower out in a 3x3 about 3 rounds out, will be trying to get 1lb out of them under 1x LEC, a personal challenge/target. One will join the 1Gal THC Bomb clones in the tent once I get the rest of the veg plants out of there. There are 2x THC Bomb clones in 1Gal pots that will end up flowering out in the tent, about 2 weeks away so doing a little training on them while I'm waiting for the tent. There are 3x fresh JTR x Blueberry seedlings in there, hoping to get a male of these DIY's for crossing later, a few weeks out yet.

The Tent is holding (running it 16/8 just to hold them) 2x Harlequin's and 2x smaller DIY seedlings that are running about the same size after some training. Will keep them in here until the main veg cabinet is available. Have to up-pot the 2x DIY's into 3Gal's sometime this week or they'll be too big for the 2Gal pots to flower. They're filling the tent wall-to-wall but still have more elbow room than when they were in the cabinet. They should fill a 3x3 nicely by the time they get in the flower room in about 3 - 3 1/2 weeks.

The Veg Cabinet has 2x DIY seedlings and 1x JTR in 3Gal pots, they'll be transferred to 5Gal this week and end up in in the flower room as soon as the first 3x3 is finished, about 10-14 days or so. Looking a little rough as I super-cropped almost every branch on the JTR (far-right) and they were due for watering when I took the pic. They'll bounce right back over the next 10-12 days and be ready to flower out. I also threw in 2x THC Bomb (Pheno 2 won), and 2x Blue Pyramid clones in 1Gal pots in last night. They got the training rings, super-cropped and first FIM.

Can't forget about the flower room :) Some shots of the main room, @day 46 for the one 3x3, Day 35 for the other.

Not long now for the first batch. In fact looking at the Super Skunk and THC Bomb, they won't go much longer than this coming weekend, the small PPP looks pretty well done too. The rest will go to Day 53-56, will be a busy holiday harvest season!

The second 3x3 is 5 weeks, so another 3 weeks or so for those strains. Shaping up to be a nice haul from the 5Gal plants. All 3 (Blue Pyramid, Blue Dream and JTR) in the 5Gal plants have turned out to be huge, with lots of colas/buds. Even the smaller 2Gal PPP's are looking good. they're like 38" tall in a 2Gal fabric pots, pretty sure they would have been root bound by now in plastic.

Some group/canopy shots:
