Haven't really done any updates...LIFE!! :roll:
But here's a pic taken last week sometime. Everybody is stretching nicely. The Blue Dream cross is just towering over everybody else. I'll be moving some things around soon and giving her a light to herself I'm thinking...

I've given water only with castings as a top dressing so far

I moved the ladies around to get the most out of the lights I have hanging at the moment. The Blue Dream cross and the Cloud Watcher have been moved under the 600 watt HPS and the others are sharing the three 700 watt LED's. The footprint from these LED panels is quite small....image.jpg
Strawberry Blue at about 4 weeks. She seems to do well under just about any conditions

Trainwreck at 4 weeks...she's pretty frosty but I feel like she does better (bulk wise) under the HPS

And the Blue Dream cross at 4 weeks...pardon the lights, I'll get some regular light pics when I have some spare time

Looking marvelous as usual MD!! :clap:

I was wondering about the foot print of the led's. Is there enough heat reduction to justify the cost? Like if I used 8 led's in order to not use the two HPS lights?

I ditched the wife and daughter and split town for 4 days. I hung out north of Libby Montana near the Canadian border. This bridge was in front of the 1908 cabin I stayed in. I thought it was a cool picture so I will share it! Taken with a Samsung Note 4.

I replaced my 600w HPS and 200w Chinese led for my 400w COB LED setup I made.

I expect at least 1 gpw. I'll be looking at a much higher yield at half the electricity use, and a lot less heat.

I use to run two in line fans on both ends of a cool tube to get the temps to low 80s, this new light requires just a light breeze with the box fan I already have in there, no extra venting, and it is staying below 80f.

I would look into it Butch, I'm decently new to the LED world, and this is my first full flower run I'll do, but I just got done with my third light and I'm telling you this effeicny shit has been blowing my mind.

It's insane how much usable light and electricity you can get off some of these leds now days, HID/MH/HPS is really starting to look like a cavemans game to me.

Less energy to produce more light which means more buds, besides the low heat, it only makes sense.

Awesome! I have read that they don't produce solid flowers like the HPS does. My lights are 5 feet above the floor always. I never lower them because they would be below the top of some of the plants. How is the light at a distance? Do they loose par at say 24 inches from the fixture?

Sorry about the hijack M.... :hug:
