Damn Brother P. You Need To Take Matters In You Own Hands And Break Their Fucking Back. Just Snap It And Don't Put Any Cinnamon Or Honey Just Snap That Biotch And Let Her Lye. Pic's At 10 :hump:

Don't wanna slow this down(training) more than I have too, want this run over ASAP...............This osram panel fires photons straight down! super-cropping outwards leaves the main bud sites in the dark, super-cropping inwards will be PM prone as my RH is hovering in the 60s%..........I was banking on NL staying "compact", didn't happen as they are fighting each other for the light, one of the negatives on running a micro bed/single light source.

Eagles aren't ON so I'm bored this sunday:wink:................................update time


Round 2 Day 49 of 12/12 from seed under Osram's "purple spotlight" led fixture (125w)=== with my 3 white lable NL bitches

005.JPG 006.JPG 007.JPG .....well I maxed out this room, can't go any higher with this fixture............... even had to move the clamp light to the left of the closet for pics.

009.JPG 010.JPG011.JPG ...............different stages of bud development, back right bitch was always at the edge of coverage for this panel, stretched more than a foot above the rest and she's way behind it's pot partners==== survival of the fittest:wink:

012.JPG .....this shit is ridiculous..........zelion fixture fires straight down so will see what it does, wide lens angle I would have treated this run differently...........bleach heaven incoming.


be safe and happy growing RIU

@PSUAGRO. Why are you using the Vegan mix over something like this Rose & Flower?
http://downtoearthfertilizer.com/products/blended_fertilizer/rose-flower-mix-4-8-4/

Isn't it generally agreed that the greensand in the vegan mix will not become available to the plants in the time of a flower cycle?
Yes, greensand takes awhile to break down.......nothing new and it won't go to waste in rols ;-). The vegan mix is cheap and works for me. I do think Dr earth vega is a better product than DTE for our needs........It's on my list.

I'm not trying to preach about mostly plant based nutrition . Let's just say I liked what I saw when I switched.......that's it

Beautiful Sunday here on the east coast, will be even better when the Eagles crap on those bum cowboys today...................can't wait to see Romo throw 3-4 picks :eyesmoke:


Round 2 Day 56 of 12/12 from seed under Osram's "general purpose" led fixture (125w) == with my 3 white label NL bitches.

005.JPG 006.JPG 007.JPG 008.JPG 009.JPG .......I finally got sick of watching the one girl getting burnt and rising past the fixture. Decided to super-crop the three stems at 2 ft down and lay them between the center of the canopy. Heavy defoliation was done to hopefully prevent any PM. I will run a tie around the whole pot and bring all the kids closer together and in the coverage area of this panel.

010.JPG 011.JPG ................gave another feeding of vegan mix following multipass's coffee grinder method. Buds are definitely behind for NL at this point, timer is not the issue, checked multiple times this week.

012.JPG 013.JPG ........they are too big for this fixture no doubt, will try my best to get something out of this run.

Hey man, nice grow - was that correct @ day 56 of flower? Because there 12/12 from seed, i think your only like 4 weeks into flower? Is that where you put yourself at?

Yes, around 4 weeks flower......their still behind imo, I've run nl under this fixture twice (first run I chopped way early for vaca) and both times it seemed slow compared to other light sources..if I remember correctly? Lol.......I will go for my Amber count no matter what happens this time.

Im getting the feeling im behind in flower development on my grow also in comparison to some of the HPS runs. Im trying to convince myself its on par but it just does not seem right. What other light sources have you used?

I've used all hid except 150w and 1000w de/cmh/most fluoros/induction/mono led/ high cri ww cob== no Cree or b-lux cobs yet ;-)

other growers are using this zelion fixture(s) with different opinions then mine? Their more than welcome to chime in on their thoughts....

edit needed, too vague

Ive got one run finished up with 3x2 and LemonOg finished at 140ish with the 125 watt fixture. I have a heavy Indica under it right now and the # should go up quite a bit.
After a few runs with it then I will have a better understanding.
So far I am pleased with performance.

No difference between your "white " cob fixtures and this very heavy 660nm panel in flowering time so far for you?.......

Questions about flowering time definitely have my interest. I saw little difference between HPS and CDM lamps, even though spectrum was very different. Since I'm not planning a reduction in wattage, I believe I'm not going to see a lot less heat. I believe I'll get a lot more light and therefore my flowering times should remain similar. We'll see how well this guess squares with the eventual results!

Yeah P it is weird what's going on with your flowering :confused::cry:. I'm pretty sure I started flowering mine after yours and both my Goji and Critical M are catching up to yours. Can you sacrifice one to the god of bottled nutes to see if your vegan mix isn't up to snuff? I mean what can it be? It ain't excessive nitrogen or temps delaying flowering, right? The panel's driver hasn't dropped a few hundred mA, right? I guess I see some heat/light stress in some photos but again they look nice and healthy. Maybe it's temp flux? I was running my AC last night and now I'm ready to plug in a heater tonight. Do you have a new toy in the flowering area? And how much and how long have you been L+HSTing them? That's gotta slow flowering with most strains.

Very weird. Maybe your calendar is a bit off? Best of Luck with the sitch and thanks for sharing your grows with the community PSU. That last part is just in case no one's said it lately!
