I hear that. Just so you know they have some really great deals on systems on ebay & amazon. I had got my Apollo 600 watt system for under 120. that was over 2 years ago though. Had a pulse start for years. lol figured it was time to upgrade. :)

Can I ask - How many plants can you put under that light of yours?? I'm really thinking of getting one soon.

well, hmm. I have mine tilted on its side for a wider coverage span. I have a 600 watt HPS system directly above the plants also. I added the HPS just to make sure they got extra light coverage where the LED wasnt hitting. I have had roughly around well over 30 smaller plants in there at 1 time. That was during my breeding process though. My #'s have dropped way back now. :)

You know what happened over the last few days with my grow? Rookie mistakes leading to disaster of the worst sort.Let me explain -
About 5-6 days ago I watered and fed my plants,put them back in their cupboard to continue flowering.But What I did was,I had 2 polythene bags underneath the plants which was soaking wet as the run-off was on them.Before putting my plants back in the cupboard I for some reason put the wet bags behind the box the plants sit on to get them out of my way in that moment.Well I forgot all about the wet bags lying at the back of my growing cupboard and over the next few days my beautiful buds started to smell off and one of the plants started looking Really sickly.
It kept getting worse and yesterday after doing everything from flushing the plants to going through every leaf looking 4 insects I went to clean the cupboard out just incase - Well I saw the bags which were now almost dry buy had a really rotten smell like a stale kitchen cloth coming fom them.I immediately knew what was wrong.The dampness had penetrated every bud on my plants and they stank (in a bad way) There's no way they were savable.
This morning I just chopped them down and binned them.I cleaned everything and put it away.I am gutted man. It's amazing how fast those bags started growing damp and infected the plants.Agggh. Oh well lesson learned.Im gonna buy some new seeds in a couple of weeks and get an HPS light and start a bigger grow.This one was my very first and a steep learning exorcize.Onwards and upwards. :(

Just a word of caution. This picture is my RQ Northern Light as of 5 minutes ago. She is 28 inches tall and 25 inches from left to right. She is tied down.

I don't know the details of your grow but I strongly suggest LSTing her a tad to control her. Mine is tied down and she is still a massive bush. I wonder how big she will really get given that she is in her 7th week and has just started to get active as far as flowering.
Just keep an eye on your space constraints.
For a size reference, my tent is 4 ft long x 2 ft wide x 5 ft high

Yeah All because of a little mistake and you should've smelled that shit dude.If youve ever left a really dirty kitchen clot sitting for 5-6 days and went back to it,that's what all the buds smelled like.One day they're really sweet and dank,then a few days later they smell like regurgitated dog-shit.

I just started my first set of autos. I got them from Herbies. They are the Buddha Auto Assorted fem qty 10. I got these just to fill in between crops. Sorry not much experience with them until now. Out of 10 6 are going OK and 2 a bit slow then other 2 didn't make it.

Looking good though.Mines seemed to have a rocky time from about a week old to about 3 weeks but then they really picked up and were doing beautifully.(Until my accident) lol

I put them in soil on 5/8 at almost one week after they came up good. So these are about 3 weeks old now. For some reason I expected them to be allot bigger by now. When you start up again be sure to post and I'll hang out and watch.
