Thought I would give an update. Got them through to harvest. Thanks for all the comments and help gang. This one was a tough grow. Turned all kinds of yellow at the end.

Thanks for all the replys and the help. I picked up some cal mag but i dont think im gonna use it. Im on tap water thats pretty good and havent seen much need for it. I think K deficiency might be it. I did another light flush and added a bit more bloom to the feed. Only got one more week...

Thanks ill that a shot. Sure dont want to lose these.

I havent used Cal Mag before. Ive only used to three nutes. How Cal Mag does it typically need?

On my third grow, Durban Kush clones, srarting week 6 of flower. Issue showed up about a week ago. Growing in happy frog soil, 5 gallon pots, 2 X 4 x 6 tent. Intake fan pulling from the house, exhaust fans venting to the garage. Circulating fan inside tent. Lighting is homemade with 2700K...

Well final total a little over 5 oz. Right at 1/2 gram per watt. Some nice buds and overall pretty pleased. I had so many people tell me they would never flower or would yield a bunch of popcorn. I think I can say it can be done with household bulbs.

Well I thought I would give one last update. Harvested today. Lights did really well. Don't have a yield total yet but overall I was pretty pleased. Really can't see a reason to not run these lights. Checkout the results. Two Kick Flip #7's in a 2 X 4 tent and fox farm trio and molasses.

Everything is wired in parallel. I didn't take any shots of the back but basically each socket is connected to the adjacent all the way around. That way I can pull bulbs in veg when I don't need as much light. After I harvest I'll post up the some pics to show the wiring.

Thanks. I'm excited to see how they dry out and compare to my first go around. COB build is probably my next go. So hard to tell anymore the good from the bad. I'll post up the finished product in a couple of weeks for anybody interested in a budget friendly option.

Well being that it's 420 I thought I would post up a progress pic. Day 45 in flower about 15 to go using Lowes and Wal-Mart LED's. Starting to turn cloudy and swell. I'm actually really surprised by these lights. I was gonna do just the one grow with these and build a COB light next go around...

After my first grow I was really on the fence about trying this again. I looked at a couple of the popular grow lights, but just couldn't see spending the money. I only ran eight 60W bulbs the first time, and the end result smoked good, but they weren't top shelf that's for sure. Got a lot of...

First time poster here. Back in my college days, which were a long time ago, I always wanted to try growing my own. It wasn't legal back then so I never did, but now that it is I thought I would give it a try. Not being sure if I could even do it, I picked up a couple of clones and converted a...
