I run them 18-6 in veg and 12-12 for flower, they were vegged for a little over a month and were only ever in a solo cup then to these gallon containers.

If you wanted to grown in a pc I'd recommend making your own led light for the smaller space, but it would work great.

Holy shit.. this has seriously got me questioning doing a 250w hps in my grow cab.. the results you are getting from this are amazing
Do you have the exact model number for your UFO? There's plenty of ones for sale on eBay but in interested in getting your exact one pending your dry weight :)

But I've got probably two weeks tops before i need to put my plants under flowering lights:/

I have dimensions in my SIG for my grow, do you think the UFOs would benefit me over a 250w hps?

First day of Week 9 give or take a day.

psilobloom: Ive been using my leftover hydroponic nutes, the floranova 2 part with flora blend and liquid koolbloom. I'm hoping to go all organic for the next batch but I'm not sure theres time for the amendments to "cook".

praiseodin: they're 90 watt ufos from prosource world wide. I saw a couple random numbers on a sticker but nothing relative. http://www.prosourceworldwide.com/ check the site out for yourself. They have recommended dimensions for germ, veg, and flower.

All the buds have really fattened up which Im happy to see. Im also very happy I bought these leds, my Electric bill has barely moved from using them and they are just plain easier to use. My next round is going to be using a 400 watt hps right next to a 180 watt. That should be the ultimate test to see how well an led stacks up to an hid. If the single 180 watt led does as good as the 400 I may never buy another hps system.

They got a little shock from me not watering them one day. :cry: But non the less most of the branches are sagging from the weight of each bud now, havent taken the time to support them as I'll probably chop them within the next few days.

thatll be really interesting to see the comparison between the two!
same clones feeding off the same nute res to get same feeding amounts. thatll be really cool to see them side by side!

Thank you for all the compliments. The plants could definitely be a tad healthier but that's my fault for not going fully organic this grow, I mixed up my version of super soil today so I'm super excited to try this strain in 7 gallon geo-pots.

I can't promise anything but might chop tonight or tomorrow night, I soaked the pots in my bath tub a few days ago and the amount of nutes I flushed out was somewhat unnerving so I let them go a couple more days, not to mention it seems like more white hairs are starting to pop out again.

I didn't chop them yet no, ever since the flush it seems like the buds are growing even more. Maybe you can tell me will it do more harm then good letting them go longer?

No no microscope just pics. There is definitely new growth in the buds because the red hairs went from 50% red back to 25% red and there's some new bulging bud Areas. They are at week 10 or so so I'm thinking of just chopping and getting my organic grow going

i would chop how long does the breader say for flowering ? also from what ur saying is this probly ready bu then u said they went from 50 to 25 maybe go to week 11

I'm thinking there was some sort of nutrient lockout towards the end which is why there was extra growth after flushing, the breader says 8-9 weeks if I remember right ( definitely no more then 10) I'll post pics in a minute
