i use a 8 band 180W LED, 125W CFL dual spec 2700k/6400K, and 12 band 300W LED all in a 5x3. its not a lot of light by any means for the space but i have 0 veg time in my routine, straight rooted clone from the dispensary into 12/12. keep in mind they use basic t5s there. the light switch is intense but i usually keep them off in a corner until they are stretched out on day 21 or so and move them directly 2 or 3 inches under the LEDs

Looks good enough. Are you 4 or 6 weeks from flip?

pic 1 shows gorilla glue 3 days or so after its stretch and i moved it thatclose under the light, you can take my word for it it isn't bleached.
pic 2 is trainwreck probably on day 48-50 out of 75 or so, i have that light a little higher because im trying to cover 3 4' plants, otherwise i would move it a lot closer. the 4 foot plants are actually seeds i grew so they did have a little veg time. regardless they are under a 180w which is less than what you have, so your colas should be huge when you tune your grow.

You dont remember when you flipped the lights? These are photo plants right?

technically my lights are always "flipped" the entire room forever on 12/12. I'm not sure what you mean by photo plant, but if you mean day light neutral, theyre not, just regular clones. this is the most root system my clones will have before going into flower. its whatever they develop from the nursery to the dispensary to my room.

by photo he means a normal/fem. plant that requires certain light hours to flower, unlike autos which are not.

Aah i see, you buy clones and throw them directly into flower? Sounds expensive lol did you ever think about cloning? Mybad dude i meant to reply to elmo!
3-6 zips, hard to tell though because we do not know how well your pheno likes its environment (rh,lights,temps,ventilation ect) also, looks like you are stuck with the led that high because of such a big plant under a small panel, i wouldn't drop it too low because you might leave the outer cola's on the dark side, thats if your strain/pheno doesn't bleach out.2.25 sq. ft. White Widow Fem Seed from Crop King. Plant grown in 3gal smart pot with soil mix: 6 parts organic potting mix, 1.5 perlite, 1 vermiculite, 2 worm castings a bit of blood and bone meal. Pot is 8.5" high and scrog net is at 15.5" leaving the plant currently at 7 inches tall(under the net). Topped once above node 5. Vegged for 52 days and is at day 7 flower in pic (day 9 now). Vegged under a 135 true watt led. Added 2x 40w 2700k cfls at the beginning of flower.Used Neptune's Harvest Organic fish+kelp fert during veg NPK is 2-3-1. For flower I'm using a 12-55-6 fert. Started at 1/4 feeding and had no issues so will move to 1/2 str. after normal ph'd water. I hate to ask a yield question but as a first grower i have no clue what to expect and want to have some kind of ball park estimate. Any help or tips would be much appreciated. Thank you
When you bush out a plant, the light hitting the canopy becomes EXTREMELY important when it comes to yield, trimming the larfy bud sites deep below before flip also helps.
Tbh, if you could throw another led panel or an HID then your plant will love you for it. If not then its all good. Btw, hell of a plant for 1st grow.

Thank you for the tips and kind words splfreak! From my observations, adding anymore lights, even another 40w CFL would put mt at temps around mid 80's. I'm scared that might be too high and don't want to stunt any flower growth. I'm not able to cool an hid/hps so the LED panel was my best option, in my opinion at least.

Day 37 from switch. Got a natural light shot right as the lights turned off. There are another 2-3 inches of bud growth under all the cannopy but the foliage is so great that I can't get any shots of them 
. Also.. There is another plant in a one gallon smart pot off to the left. It is about 3 weeks behind the ones you see now.

Yes it is white widow. I haven't noticed much strong of a smell yet. There definitely is one but it's easily masked.

That's an interesting combination haha! I'm happy with the odor mine has. The odor mine gives to the outer room isn't a "weed" smell, but I can't quite find something g to compare it too either.
