2000W Monster Size LST Northern Lights DWC, Mix of HPS&LED

Correction: The actual draw of the LED lamps, just tested:

Blue - 60w
Red - 180w

I got ripped off when I bought them. At least they're more efficient than I thought!

Thanks.

Sorry for the shit pics, I don't have any fluros or any other white lights, that's the best I can do.

There's a few damaged leaves in case you missed it btw, a few stuff ups from a few weeks ago relating to air supply and low water level.

All is good now.
 
I chopped down 3 of the plants 2 days ago, the last one is still there and about a week behind in maturity.
Root balls were huge... took up the entire bucket.
I've been cleaning up, moving vegging plants around and manicuring for the last 2 days straight and I've only manicured like 2 thirds of the harvest! At least my next grow will be more perpetual lol.

Sorry I haven't bothered with pre harvest pics or wet weight, I am pretty sure I got at least an lb or 2 though! I will update later when its dry with weight and a photo of all teh bud.

Buds were pretty small due to the extreme lst but when u got hundreds of branches it starts adding up fast!

The HPS kicked the LEDs' ass... I got like double the yield off them. Yeah they don't get hot, and they're 2 years old with only 5% of the LEDs blown so far. The blue ones kick everythings' ass at vegging. But if 1w HPS is the same as 1w LED for flowering then what's the point of spending all that money upfront? Unless most of the LEDs last 5+ years it's really kinda pointless for flowering.

Plus I can get an HPS kit delivered the next business day, LEDs I have to order overseas and it takes weeks.

I think I cut off the leaves too late... I didn't realise it matured so quickly, there were lots of popcorn buds at the bottom of the branches, which I will smoke first with the trim.

And yes, I'm pretty damn high right now :bigjoint:
