Look at these girls just hammer away. Such a proud father.

5x5. 1000w DE 4k MH then switched to 1100w DE HPS around week 5. 19/5 light schedule (I know I know, It needs to be an even number. I'm throwing off the balance of the universe as we know it.) 5 gallon pots. 50/50 mix of hot and cool dirt with some perlite added for extra fun. Top dressed with flowering nutes a week into flower and at the time of the photo shoot. Water every 3-4 days. Its not rocket surgery guys. The one lemon ak that is just now flowering kinda pisses me off but shes gonna be a MONSTER. No need for bottles of snake oil and bags of pixy dust. Just start with good dirt and add a little top dress fertilizer when they really start to blossom into the beautiful women they are. 6 strains, two of each. Lemon AK, Gelato, Blue Dream, Pineapple Express, Smoothie, and Zkittles (all FastBuds)

Anyway, What you guys think?

From your description of the light it sounded terrible, but looking at your plant its obviously not garbage either. You may start to suffer from insufficient light output and/or distribution as you get closer to flower time. Maybe pick up another for $40, or look into the X6 Full-spectrum COB led that can be found on amazon. It draws 300W from the wall and produces well in a compact space, and its like $100-130.

Thanks.
Just ordered a light set from amazon,and ordering a tent and grow bags as well.
Its trial and error,and I know that non2 runs will ever be the same. The learning curve is huge,but I figure if I do my part,and let nature do hers,and dont mess with them all the time,I should be ok.

Personally I run the "1500w Ygrow led" for seedlings. It could flower out one plant nicely. They run $110 on amazon.
