Ok, so things are moving along allot faster then I'm accustom to. I like to spread the plants to fill in if I get the chance. Usually a topping & some pinching will cause the plants to bush In nicely by themselves. But sometimes I'd like a lil more as I have room for 12 @ about 3' wide. Allot of times I don't get to open them up until they get under the trellis but I have these posts n cross-bars that work real well. I used to tie them. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgGonna need to order my Pro-4's sooner then I thought. Running out of light now to veg & still have another 3 weeks to go.

Sad that such a simple alteration beyond what is considered normal would affect you so
Hey PetFlora, good to see you back. Funny cuz over a year ago when I started learning about led, I was able to notice your quotes from the blue font. You were using the BML & catching all kinds of grief from bully types. Hopefully those days are over & everyone can share their experiences now peacefully.
Never got to make it over to your threads on the other forum. How's your growing going these days?
You were right about Amare that's for sure. It's the only led I'll be growing with as primary lighting. Unless of course I have to use this HH. Don't quite know of 3 SP-4's & a 450 will be in my budget. We'll see. That's what I'd like to start my led room off with.
Good to see you posting. Hopefully everyone can keep the peace! Not that I'm very good at it myself apparently! Lol!

Tied the girls down today! They put out well when I tie em down. A few more weeks like this & they'll be all bushed n ready to pump plates. Raised the lights for more coverage. They are pretty high & running on half power. The Amare is like 178 watts from what I've seen on others watt meters here.
The HH should be about 215 as its 535 fully illuminated.

Such rapid growth though. I'll have to add lights soon.

This is Original Blueberry & is the last time it's being ran. This strain was one of my favorites all year & has been very good to me. She'll be missed. In search of another similar & have a few DJ Short cuttings vegging now. image.jpg Here we have to new beauties trying to make the cut & be chosen to be kept. Blueberry Headband & Cinderella-99. Both look killer & will be going another round. Huge round clunkers on the C-99. Long Donkey Dicks in the BH. image.jpg
N here's the Utility-Tech Pro! Lol! I love it. image.jpg

Looking great hybrid. Haven't recieved any notifications so I haven't been coming by. regardless it's great to catch up and see what's cooking.

Was teasing about the Eco, I know what's in your future and I think you'll be even more pro-Amare than you are now with a few more lights.

Sad news in my room. I planned on results like I normally get and after 60 days I realized I was screwed. I have 6 plants going out the door at a fair price to make room for the rest. I think the outcome should be the same since I can focus more on the remaining plants.

I'm just rocking autos but these things are photo-period big with results that are out of this world. Not counting my chickens but it looks like well over a pound per light.

Oh wow, I just realized that there's very few red monos on the amare. That's kind of odd. It makes using the monos during flower kinda counter-productive.

If not completely reversing the numbers of red to blues, I'd say it'd be better with AT LEAST 50/50... and if red and blue, after adjusting, were ALSO on their own channel /driver? That'd make it so fuckin pimp!

I don't doubt the reasoning. Only thing I can think is no one uses colored Cree cobs. I'm pretty sure the temp on the white are higher than the cobs themselves.

Ha! Lol! They do grow allot more then expected. Felt wicked dumb for not having installed the double trellis to begin with.
Explosion growth. Yeah, I remember you saying they grew into the hallway & everywhere.
Mine jumped out of the 4'x4'. & went like a foot higher then I thought it would.
Good to hear a of a Hearty harvest in the forecast! I tell the grow store owner I got 18.5 oz. off a 450watt light n he almost shit himself. lol!
Dying to start the next flower & actually have some time to Maintain my grow.
It must be tough with autos hu! Those Fuckers will flower with or without your permission right!?! They get big too?
No luck on your Kind $$$? Is that s wash?
HH told me to sell it on-line. But yours actually blew lights. They should've sent you a refund by now, no.
Where they UV diodes that blew? That happens & the plastic clouds up on the optics. I think that's why I hear of diodes blowing n burning.
How long is your light cycle running autos?
Are you using lenses?

All claims were denied on the kind k5's by the shipping company because kind threw away the boxes. This delayed growers house from getting them who said they would give me some money for them.
It's probably a simple fix, 31 LEDs in a row went out so its probably just a short or driver.

No warning with autos, they start out slow and explode around week 2. I had 4.5" of growth in one day. Little preflowers pop and then before you know it they are covered in buds. Can't wait for a weighin so I can help persuade some photo growers. The no clone thing is the only downfall in my eyes. Watt for watt and time I think it works out pretty even. But this way is also good with the impatient. Time wise 70 days from seed you can see anywhere from 2 on a shit strain to 8 on a good strain. It might take 2-3 plants to equal a good photo plant but I do believe these grow much faster and a little smaller so they can be squeezed a little harder.

More updates hybrid, I'd like to see that Amare in action with a completely different style plant. Maybe you can persuade me to grow photos now.

The reason why there are only a few r/ monos is: the CoB covers PAR nicely. All you then want to do is bump the chloro A/B for max benefit. Also, the rings work quite well for veg and clones, as those plants do not require much light

Few less watts. I'm excited to see a hps against the Amare. Pictures are tough to see, what's your take so far?
