Your plants look very healthy.
Is this your first grow with adding the LED? I just bought two LEDs and I'm going to try to add them on each side of my 125w CFL.

Nah second grow with the led I added it half way through my last grow, I think it helped as a side lighting, I haven't really test it out on its own too see how it goes,yeah they get a pretty big doesage of calcium magnesium and iron which greens them right up hard,I did notice the plants that were directly under it last run needed more cal/mag.
Long since have the days passed where I used cfls for flower, ivegot a grow lush 150w cfl as a veging bulb and one 24w Phillips as a cloning bulb

I've also thinned maby 3oz of dry cabbage out of those girls in the last 2 days to get more light find it's way though the canopy god dam rain forest lol

Entering week 4
Ppm on new nutrients is 1700ppm/22l of water, she's cranking along nicely,I think the highest my Ppm have ever been is 2400ppm/22l no nutrient burn don't know how tho, that was on my last run

Would you believe I've cut more unused under growth out, I wish I could do a outdoor 1 it'd be a monster bush

Looks good.

What are your temps like?

Hot day 31c above shades 25c 6 inches below shades humidity at 42%

They just moved on to there first feed of shooting powder so they should start a new phase of head, hopefully

This was my last grow under a single 600w hps got round 13 1/2 oz last time hopefully this time I'll crack the 1lb maby more with luck

Had a few issues with my feed lines too the auto potd think I had too many tee joints and one wasn't connected correctly lost 15l of water/cal mag mix too the bottom of the tent not happy but all I can do is learn from it

Next round I'm going to upgrade too a single 10mm feed line and take all the pots off that, atm I've got multiple lines snaking everywhere but I've only got a couple weeks till harvest so I'll most probably hand feed which is no big issue just takes a extra 20mins every 2 days vs 10 seconds too turn a valve

Had a couple days where temps got up to 31c outside and 35c inside a 10l plastic bucket filled with water frozen solid saved my ass but not the leaves on a couple heads, really need a better fan on my back bulb, thinking of buying another one like on my front bulb, I had the excuse it's too expensive to justify $50 on a fan like that on the bulb (I was dick haha) I didn't forsee heat issues of this sort so now I need a lamp fan and second extractor to trim the extra heat (can't fully close tent otherwise) and a ducting T joint for my carbon filter to attach to
