I am just curious about what other LED growers do when they are growing their beautiful plants. I don't have many years of experience with these lights and it would help me choose my methods better. Feel free to chime in any info for the rest of us.

Hey Couchlock, been growing with them for a little over a year. What I've found is regardless of the strain, my lights tend to grow very short/close inter-nodal spacing. That's not a bad thing at all, I like it. But it requires LST imo to open them up, the close internodes tend to get almost too thick and blocks light down to the centre of the plants. I tend to FIM (multiple times) and LST to open them up and let the centre shoots come through. I end up typically with shorter plants, spread out through LST, so bushy but not tall. That's not a bad thing, the recommendation for my lights is to keep the longest depth of light at 42", so take away say 12" for the pot/stands, and 32" is about as tall as I want them. But 30" tall, by 30" wide and lots of colas can generate some nice yields.

That said, in my current round I let one of the indicas just go, other than FIM and it's about 35" tall but still getting light to the bottom popcorn. They're definitely smaller/popcorn but I don't mind that, they go into a separate pile for oil/hash/edibles anyhow.

My personal preference is sativas, LST'd, FIMmed and bushy vs. letting them stretch too tall. The lights seem to work well for that setup. i may SCROG at some point as I think the LED's do very well in that setup.
