over in the indoor growing section there is a club 315 lec thread with a lot of info they claim it will hands down outperform the 400 hps only reason I haven't re invested in a new light is because money is a bit tight but I could get around that then there is the fact I haven't yet hit a good one with the equipment I have which is capable of much more than I've been getting & im fortunate enough to get the loan of a led for this next round I'm hoping my strain choice straitens things out

The big question is does it cost less to run??

Thanks for that mate, Ive been and had a butchers, read about halfway through, some good info! Theres not too much on a one plant DWC single 315w CMH , so I'm hoping my next grow will be interesting and a bit unique, and the type of thread people like me are looking for!
Can't wait to see how you do with the LED!

there isn't a whole lot it seems on single plant grows no matter what light you're using that's how I found your thread & I really like that method / single plant dwc high output small light grows & that's what I want to get back to to the point I might not put the stardawg in this next grow & finish it off with my 400 hps just to prove to myself it can be done

Good to hear from you!
Good luck with moving and that mate! Keep in touch with us all though even if you don't have a crop on the go!
The 315 sounds perfect for me, I can't increase my grow space and I don't want to increase energy costs either. So its an all round winner for me.
Heat, I couldn't tell you as my thermo/hygrometer fell to the floor the other day and is Friar Tucked, so I need to buy a new one! The ballast is fixed to the unit though and does kick off some heat, but there is a lot of open air around the unit, my Adjust-A-Wing before was massive and didn't leave much space for air to pass around.
In all, i'm over the moon with it, it screams quality. But we need to see some results. I'm going to build a SCROG screen for the DWC bucket that will allow me to lift the plant and screen up so I can still clean the res and do a complete res change every week.
I've worked it all out, and on paper it all looks good, just need to buy the supplies and make it!!

Will do! Going to be dying over here not being able to grow! Can't wait to see the 315 scrog grow, that sounds right up my ally! I love making those scrog nets, throw up some pics when you have er all made up!

Still haven't got a thermometer but would just like to say that I opened the tent this morning and was shocked! There was no blast of heat as soon as I unzipped the tent, it actually seemed cooler in there than the room the tent is in! .

That's awesome, yeah when I open my tent its like a sauna! This summer has had my girls sitting at about 32C with the light on, need me some tropical strains!

Got Blue Dream, Critical +, Blue Cheese and Strawberry Amnesia. The Strawberry Amnesia may interest you, its Sativa Dominant.

Fantastic seed order, Critical + is on my list! I have a Blue Dream seed in my bag actually, I think it may be my next run. We might just end up growing it at the same time if you run it after Critical, we'll see where we end up!

Good luck with it Herk, it seems to me like the best way to do things, this grow has been a pain in the ass, one plant loves loads of nutes, one doesn't and the others just a dick. I mix up nutes for a week, I haven't got the time to mix up new nutes and different nutes for each plant every other day!

That'd be wicked mate if we ran it at the same time! Could swap notes on EC/PPM, what she likes etc! Be good to see the difference as well between the HPS and CMH! Also the differences in yield! It could be a sort of side by side comparison, obviously not totally accurate as we live so far away and our conditions will be different but will still be interesting nonetheless!
Is your Blue Dream from Humboldt aswell? Not sure if other seed banks do the strain.

you make a strong point in favor of single plant grows I've grown fond of that way of doing a grow now to find a plant that really gets with it & the way I like to grow I've been afraid of too much stretch now I'll embrace it

Yeah Cali where's the pics. Says me who only put up 1 lot recently.
Click to expand...
Yeah man, where's the pix haha! :P

Actually, the sour stomper babies paused growth for a few days, so there was nothing new to see... except me starting to hyperventilate since these autos make me real nervous when they dawdle -- and that's neither new, nor will you ever see a pic of that :-P LMAO

Happily they resumed growth yesterday:
2016-09-21_x-day8-eve (1).JPG
(no more tiger eyes, sorry Stick! ;) )
And I now know for sure which of the two is going to get grown out, here she is, small but going places:
2016-09-21_x-day8-eve (2).JPG
...though being me, I am thinking of ways of saving #2, who really is making an effort. There will only be space for her when I chop the Pineapple Express, which is only in 2-3 weeks... unless...I veg her somewhere else...:shock: No!!! lol

Oh the PE is quite beautiful btw:

I've started a new thread too, which will document my experiments with all kind of witches brews haha

So, your turn! :bigjoint:
Cheers!

The only trouble is you get what you have been given, I pop a seed and thats it, she is what she is. I would love to be able to hunt for the best pheno's and keep the best! Maybe one day... :grin:
