I'm Ready- Blue OG, White Lavender, OG #18, and Sour Kush.

I am blown away by that insane frost... Looks like the Milky Way fell out of the sky and wrapped itself around your plants. SPECTACULAR.

yea, wont be hard for Prospian to check his trics once he get to that

Hey P. How's it growing bro ?: haha.. Plants look great big dog. Was just stopping in to checks on you, and you lovely girls..
I just popped out 2 updates this morning myself. Stop in and give them a gander if you have some extra time. Thanks bro.

What's up Pros?

Update: 5 weeks into flowering. Things are going pretty well. I will let the pics tell the story. Thanks for checking in everybody.

Wow. Perfection.

Thanks Gand, I have no complaints. It gets fun about this time as we begin to see the results of our labor.

I've been following your conversations with Myco on the other threads. Big thumbs up to you for everything you are doing to help a fellow grower in his time of need.

You make RIU a better place bro.

Thanks Pros. You are right on about this being a cool time for you. I bet these will taste so nice when the time comes from how they were grown.

Man Prosp, those look better than the breeders photos at the seedbanks.

Thanks polo. It looks like I spilled baby powder on them or powdered sugar. Really, it's just good lighting and camera. I can't take the credit for what a plant can achieve in nature, but I will enjoy the smoke, that you can count on!

Update: 35 Days Flowering. Watering one gal. per plant 4-5 days. Temps 75 degrees and soil PH 6.7.

Here is a little attention to what's happening down below at 35 days flower...



Bag Seed


Blue OG


Sour Kush

Damn frosty mcfrosterton....hey prosp how much was that light?....and do u think its as good as or better than Advanced Led lights...im shoppin for a new source

Pros....that is some beautiful work. You should be grinning right now. Why did you have to post up the cooking thing after I mixed all my crap up?

Hey Vega, thanks for stopping by and the feedback. I checked out Advanced 180w $539, but haven't really followed any growers with that fixture. They appear to be good units and have the right stuff inside.

Before I bought, I followed A51 growers to make sure they would perform. From my research and personal use, they are producing fantastic results.

I bought mine on sale (10% off, $535 free ship) direct from Jeff at area51. I like that when they release the new models I can upgrade the guts on my fixture for minimal costs. The A51 warranty is great and influenced my purchase as well. Plus, the guys respond to my questions right away; I like that too.

Come on now, you know that if I grew as many plants as you, I couldn't afford to use the bagged Roots O. In the long run, making your own soil is more cost effective and yeah, letting it cook is pretty important too.

The bag seed plant is starting to fade. I think that strain is hungrier than the rest. I'm going to dose some Jack's Citrus FeED to that plant today and maybe top dress next week if needed.

The rest of them are happy and seem to be well fed

Thanks for the compliments Gandalf, means a lot coming from you and the rest the guys & gals. Especially the growers that know what it takes to keep these beast happy! Not as easy as it looks.

Thanks man ima look into one....if u wanna see the advanced perforn chk you tube "bombycron42"...He uses advanced diamond series cree...the 350 I think....its worth lookin at he does awesome w his...how big of a space does urs successfully cover and how many lumens at max power?

Vega, the diamond series is about double the power that I'm running and at $795 for the 300w, it was out of my budget and overkill. My usable grow area is 3' X 2' and perfectly matched for the SGS-160. I can really tell the outer edges are getting adequate light.

I measure LEDs by umols. PPF: 1156 Umol'/s @ 12", 762 Umol'/s @ 18", 527 Umol'/s @ 24", 326 Umol'/s @ 36"

As far as lumens, I learned from guys with way more knowledge that lumens can be misleading. If you can get through it, this was a great read and helped me better understand light. You have to get into the thread and the discussion shifts to important info on LED lighting and comparisons to HID.

Here is a couple of relevant posts on the subject.

umols/region and we have deal

Now were getting somewhere. The conversion to uMols/region would be a linear equation per region when utilizing the Plank equation to go from the energy level of the photon assuming an even distribution around the center of that region. It would represent a PPF/Region value.

So this is would accomplish the same thing as my watts/region valuation goes. Not a problem publishing on the face of it. Where it does concern me publishing in this format is that it requires a bit more mathematical gymnastics whereby the mfg(s) could 'confuse' the published data and (the more likely scenario) most people still don't know what the hell a uMole or PPF is to begin with. Watts is something most people can relate to and most growers know that there is at least a need to know the lamps vegetative and flowering characteristics.

I'm thinking baby steps until a sensitivity curve standard is established then PPF/Region would be a good time to publish lamp data based on an overlay of that accepted standard.

im savin for the diamond series....i have a new closet thats abt 4 by 4 so ill need it....thanks man

Are you going to give all your cfls up? Because that's like 100 cfl bulbs that I know you have stashed somewhere, right?



They're always good for supplemental lighting. I added four, 24" fluros at the bottom of my grow to keep the plants happy.

I think you will master the LEDs and make them work for you. Heat will no longer be an issue, that's for sure.

If you can cool 100 CFLs....
