Just wanted to let everyone know I will be running a single "Spyder" (auto) for the contest. I went ahead & started germination as soon as I got home from work. I know I'm a few days behind, if that will be an issue, I will bow out.
It will be grown indoors, under a single 800 watt LED system..
What's a party without the Dankster!! Nice choice spyder auto looks good.

Yeah, its best to run "MH" up till they start to flower. Then switch over bro.. that's what I have seen my Dad do in the past, and have herd of other growers doing it aswell.
Yeah, I start with a 400 watt HPS, then increase to a 600 watt middle flower, plus the 800 watt LED. Not to mention the CFL'S for bottom growth.
Run both spectrums during flowering the MH bulbs help to minimize stretch. Only down side is MH doesn't have as much lumens output like hps has.

Yeah sure have buddy. ;) that's what I did 4 the strains I have running now. Thought the mixed spetrum of the 400 watt HPS & 800 watt LED would be a nice combo, I will know once flowering is finshed up.. ;) looking good so far though..

have you tried vegging under hps and then adding the mh for flower ?
i tested this with my leds have a bloom and a veg
seems to work well
havent tried it with real watts though
maybe i'll supplement the cool tube with some blue see how it works out :)
i like my auto's to stretch a bit and then tighten the nodes up towards the end
i havent found anything on it but i think the ruderalis likes the red and then more blue
been looking into russia/siberia weather/seasons but have found very little and even less
on ruderalis in nature you would think that since its been used in medicine for thousands
of years out there you could find more on it
but it grows wild so whats it matter i guess is the way they see it

Yeah, ever since I got this LED system though, I thought I would mix the spectrums of the HPS & LED + CFL'S (just 4 bottoms though). Makes those popcorn nugs alittle bigger. ;)
Got a 1000 watt HPS on the way, so when I take the 800 watt LED away from the girls I can add back more watts to my other ladies. Going to use the 800 watt on the single auto & see how she does.. ;)

whatever hapened with lowlife i am unsure however, i have grown a few of their strains and always had not only good luck but pretty good results with them, so im not sure why they were removed but i personally never had a problem with them, like i said before i think calling your company lowlife set you up for failure there lol

Yeah I read something about them on The Attitude's new page. it was quite some time ago. since then ALL their products were originally listed as OUT OF STOCK now as Discontinued.

Why do you say this?? Is the PE just a poor producer?? I've got 3 going now.
Not a poor producer.... depending on pot size and light it can yield quite heavy(as much as 4 oz a plant in a 600w soil grow 5gal pots) but I think he said it because he thinks people will simply out produce him. HOWEVER the Yield does not count for EVERYTHING. there are multiple categories. so try your best and STAY POSITIVE..... We are all here to root for each-other's plants as well as our own. This is a FRIENDLY competition. :) so have fun and good luck :)

My beans made it so I'm in. Here's a couple of pics just because.001.jpg002.jpg

The first to pop will be for indoors, The second will be for outdoors as long as it shows up, and if all 3 show up I'm running a private test between hps and mh by leaving the third one for fun in the exact same cup and medium and running it only under the mh. peace
