No smoke reports yet (haven't had time!) but BS2 is dried and in curing jars. So, final weights, and some numbers: GF: 25g BS2: 32g Total: 57g Just about where I thought I'd be actually, just a bit over 2oz. As far as the efficiency of the 180W Black Star goes, here's how it comes out: We...

Thanks bro. I hadn't looked at the results of many LED grows before this one, but I'm glad to hear that. Day 120 - 12/11 - Veg Time: 28 days - Flower Time 91 days Ok, BS2 is down yesterday after 91 days of flowering. Smelled really strongly of sour citrus, so even it doesn't look dank, it...

Quick update: moved GF to the curing jars yesterday. Dried weight was around 25g :/ lower than I expected, but whatevs. I'd post a little more, but I'm a bit tired at the moment.

Day 112 - 12/3 - Veg Time: 28 days - Flower Time 84 days Chopped grapefruit this morning and a lovely smell of citrus filled my grow room. She's in the bud dryer now and I will get a weight for her once she's done.

Thanks! Certainly says a lot for first-time hands. Day 110 - 12/1 - Veg Time: 28 days - Flower Time 82 days Long overdue update. Had some people over for t-gives so couldn't really post last week. I was really hoping to chop GF the following weekend after I posted last, but she just wasn't...

Thanks! Though in hindsight, buy a slightly better light ;) Oh nice! I'll have to take a look at yours soon then. How loud is your 3" blower? I consider my 4" loud because it vibrates and has an awful whine to it. The next grow I will be looking for a quieter fan set-up and am curious how...

Thanks! Yep, from veg to flower. Yea, after I read some of what was said here on the Blackstars I was like "gahhh why did I buy these?" but I think they're working pretty damned well, especially for a first grow. I'm thinking about going bigger next time with a 2x4 tent and getting a 400W...

Day 78 - 10/30 - Veg Time: 28 days - Flower Time 50 days I'm back, with more pictures. GF is starting to get brown pistils and BS2 making a rediculous amount of budsites, as well as a diploid (?) bud (see last pic). I'll bet GF can be harvested in about 2 weeks; BS2 looks like it has at...

Day 62 - 10/14 - Veg Time: 28 days - Flower Time 34 days End of week 4 update. Just cruisin along at this point. GF is looking great and BS2 is finally catching up. They're a bit over-nuted at the moment, so I've been flushing them lately. Other than that, girls are great! Some picks...

Day 53 - 10/5 - Veg Time: 28 days - Flower Time 25 days More pictures for mid-way through week 3 My favorite bud :)

Day 47 - 9/29 - Veg Time: 28 days - Flower Time 19 days Quick pic update with some better pictures. GF is better girl of the two, with much more developed buds than BS2. BS2's cola's are just starting to bloom, but probably won't show anything like GF until a few more days. Fed with 1 TSP Tiger...

Thanks! I haven't said anything about it, but I have thought about doing that. I'm a bit out of room and over budget as is, so I'm just going to see what LEDs alone will do. I'm definitely a fan of LEDs though. I have never used HPSs so I cannot compare to them, but for my application where I...

Yes there are! Was busy last week or so and thought weekly updates are a bit more interesting at this point. Anyway, lots of new growth since last time! Day 44 - 9/26 - Veg Time: 28 days - Flower Time 16 days So first thing I found out when I got back from a visit with my gf this weekend was...

Alright, I'm definitely interested in this one. Looking to see how the 500w compares to the 240w, which I am using for my first and you seem to have experience with. How far above the canopy do you put your 500w (or your 240w)? I've been experimenting with this and under 8" seems to stunt growth.

Thanks for the advice; I think it was just a short incident as they're not around anymore. But I started washing soda and beer cans for a few weeks and they went away, so luckily that was probably their breeding ground. They just wanted to vacation in the cabinet. Day 34 - 9/16 - Veg Time: 28...
