Some of them really look like they are hurting. I am curious to see how the LED grow goes for as myself have purchased a 240 and 500 watt blackstar flowering and a 240 veg to see how this technology works. Keep it updated though, and I hope you bring some life back into them.

here is some of the progress pics

just trying to post everything I have until current.

@Indian - This was my first grow, and I put the full amount of suggested nutes in the water right when i transplanted them. Also my high ass grabbed the wrong bottle and I started off the first week reservoir with bloom instead of grow haha. they were def burning a bit but they some of them started growing quite quick.

some more progress photos. this is week 2 when i added the proper nutes and voodoo juice

PuffPuffPassed · Jul 6, 2011

these are the most current photo's I took as of 3 days ago, which is day 13 of veg. there is definitely some new growth since then.

feel free to comment

Up until that last post, those plants looked miserable. Glad they've been reinvigorated. Are those all mostly sativa?

PuffPuffPassed · Jul 6, 2011

Yeah it seemed like they were at their limit for nutes for a while, but they are finally coming around quite nicely.

LA Con - 100% Sativa
Kushberry - 30% Sativa 70% Indica
Master Kush - Sativa/Indica (percentage unknown)

Glad to see they bounced back, but i think 10 plants will be too many for running 230w(actual power draw)...

PuffPuffPassed · Jul 6, 2011

I'm hoping its sufficient for veg; I do plan on adding at least another 240w to the mix to get them through flowering.

PuffPuffPassed · Jul 6, 2011

pics from the garden.

4 monsters and 6 trying to play catch up.

the 2 on the far right were only added to the system a few days ago, which puts them 2 weeks behind the rest.

DinafemHazeAuto · Jul 6, 2011

Yeah it should be fine for veg bro if u can grab 2 240w and do 2 over top and 1 in the back for lower buds, thats what im thinking bout doing and getting rid of my 600w qauntum ballast and cool tube..

DinafemHazeAuto · Jul 6, 2011

actually u could do the 2 blackstars(if u get another) and then put ur ufos on the back or front for lower nugs..JMO GL bro

PuffPuffPassed · Jul 6, 2011

my thoughts exactly. i was thinking of putting the 2 - 240's over head and then the ufo's coming in at somewhat of a side angle

PuffPuffPassed · Jul 8, 2011

Changing nutes from AN mother earth tea to Dyna-Gro pro foliage for the remaining 2 wks of veg

PuffPuffPassed · Jul 15, 2011

spotted a fairy in the garden today

PuffPuffPassed · Jul 20, 2011

Just ordered a 500w Blackstar from Gotham Hydro so I can kick these babies into flower!
The day it gets here ill be switching to 12/12 (guessing it will be around day 32 of veg)

Bird Gymnastics · Jul 21, 2011

Curious to see how this will turn out. I'm sub'd up. Just wanting to see what those LEDs can do. I've always been under the impression as using LED as supplemental lighting. But I could be wrong.

PuffPuffPassed · Jul 26, 2011

These pics are day 34.

The new 500w Lighthouse Blackstar is due to arrive tomorrow, and I will be changing out the reservoir and switching the lighting to 12/12. I was going to go for the 600w but I was advised towards the 500w because of the 3w diodes.

Gotham Hydroponics has discounted the light because of this grow thread and has also said they will discount a light for anyone who places an order and mentions "Puff Puff Passed"

This is my first grow, I obviously have nothing to compare the lights against, and accordingly I will not be trying to sell anyone on these products. Make your own decision if you like the result you see.
