Those are some great looking plants. I've got a question? How much canopy does your 750W cover? I've got a 300W LED that I love, but it only covers about 2.5'x2.5'.
Again, stellar looking harvest:weed:

Well I have mine broken up in two lights - One is 240 one is 504 (I rounded to 750 just to be a dick) The 240 gets me about 2x3 of flowering canopy coverage hovering just shy of a foot about the canopy. The 500W gives me 3x4 at a little lower. Mind you that the led ratings are simply the max wattage for each diode, that 750W of panels draws about 375W of electricity, you 300W probably only draws about 160 or 170 if you hooked it up to an ammeter.

Most harvest to come on next thursday (if not earlier), I am working on an awesome sativa pheno and a purple plant (I think its a jock horror) ever since I switch the 1000W HPS off and left the LED's on last week the temps have held steady around 61 degree for the plants. Mad purple, the plants are looking great.

Nice work, thanks for the Info. I just cut down some AK48 (clones) yesterday and the one under my LED was about 10-15% more resinous. The difference was easy to see. There may have been that much less bud on the plant than the ones under the HPS' though. The pictures are looking amazing as always!

Another question. Do you continually rotate the plants so that they receive different spectrums, or do they stay under the same lighting source?

I rotate every 2 days (more or less)

Got half of them dried and curing now. The other half will probably be ready around or by friday/saturday. There were two small runty plants in there that I was considering culling but I elected not to. The didn't produce much (only about a zip, maybe zip and a half) but thats still worth it in my book. Shit, thats head stash. The quality is impressive, not to toot my own horn, but this shit is completely out of control. I also got 2 lbs of butter (from the trim of 5 plants so that shit is crazy CRAZY good) and I am currently double boiling some iso hash as we speak. (my man fell through with the bubble bags). I have heard ISO hash aint great, but whatever, its gotta be better than tossing the shit in the trash.

I am really pumped about my next grow that is in veg right now. I am trying to go for the same yield with half the plants. 5 Snow white, LST and Fimmed, in ten gallon tubs each with a 7 week veg. They are low hanging monsters right now. I will flip them next week. I am probably going to change shit up too. I am going flower using my 1000W MH with the 750W of LED (385W draw). I think that should make for some fine ass bud, plus all that UV from both the MH and the LED. Insanity.
