I fucking hate mites! The war begins! Let us know how the lady bugs do. From my research u gota use multiple insecticides because the little bastards become immune to just one. Good luck brother!

Yeah man the war is on!!! I released all 1500 ladybugs in 4x8x8 ft tent and they are covering the plants havings a feast!!!! They're in the soil, under the leaves using the stem as a freeway. I think I might add ladybugs to future grows as a preventative measure, 100% organic, lol.

I am glad I came across your grow. I will be purchasing the same California light-work 440 as you, in a week.
The comments that say, it can match a 600w MH are re-assuring.
I can't wait to see how they do in my setup.

I'm in the mother lode & the heat has finally backed off a bit spidermites suck I alternate between the garden- safe from wal- mart & organacide when I lived in the valley mites were a regular thing since moving to the hills I haven't had them good luck with your new light I'm wanting an amare but for now it's an 400 hps growing pinkpanties in a waterfarm 
Listen brother I just had a bout spider mites myself, I'm telling you, get ladybugs they're cheap and they work.
That light works great so far I'm glad I got it.

Great grow you have going here, and I commend you for your perseverance. Your ladies will love you for it! The defoliation's looking good. Those flowers should be starting to fatten up for by now yeah?
I was checking out Cali lightworks, but ended up going with the viparspecta 900. I'm very interested in seeing how your girls turn out.
I've got some pictures posted up in my journal of my girls just entering week four of flower, if you'd like to check out how the 900 is doing.

Congrats on getting that clw led. I have been looking at them too but just can't afford $1,800 for the 880, right now. I have a question for you, is that white fire og or is it just called white fire? I bought some bud from a dispensary and got a seed. This wasn't an og it was just called white fire and is very sativa dom. Can you post a picture of the white fire?
Here is what my white fire looks like. It looks a little rough because I accidentally gave it too much uvb.

when you compare actual prices of the u.s. Led lights clw has a good deal for the buck I'm looking at the solar storm 220 full cycle for $439.00 it has kinda moved to the front of the pack (Johnson,amare,go green,northern) 200w. of led under $500.00 hopefully by X-mas I can pull this off still looking for a better deal for the same output & quality & of course I'll be watching this thread to see how it's big brother performs

Right now I am using 1 in veg(4x4 Gorilla) and 2 in a 3'x9'x7.5' ceiling along with 1 400w HPS w/hortilux bulb. I am loving the results so far. I am only 16 days in bloom so far but I am liking the budset I am seeing.Veg is spectacular with very short internode spacing.
Hello everybody I'm back with an update. I think I had some kind of nutrient lockout but I think I caught it in its early stage cuz as soon as I flushed a few days later it seemed to start clearing up. I'm at week 5 now and due to the nutrient lockout it slowed down flowering to a halt and now it seems to be back into full force. The blue dream strain in the air pot is the only one that has been untouched from anything and it looks amazing and the trichomes on this plan are crazy for only being 5 weeks. The other three just stopped in the flowering process but since I flushed the kick back on my question to you guys is anybody ever heard of this happening before flowering just stops and starts back up again does this mean that my flowering time is going to be longer in the end or am I just going to suffer the effects of a poor yield. All my experience is a Growers telling me to abandon these plans and start from scratch I already got six more in the seedling phase right now, but I'm curious I'm seeing amazing trichome production the best trichome production at week 5 that I've ever seen before so even if it's going to be a light yeild the potency is going to be unbelievable.

yeah mike when a plant suffers a lockout like that it will take time to get going again after correcting the problem. The plants will most likely take a little longer but keep an eye on those trics. Yes the yield will suffer but since you are so far along you may as well finish them.
That's what's I thought.

yeah you're in pretty far if you got seedlings going maybe you can veg them along until this finishes off a small yield is better than no yield at all I almost scrapped my current pink panties grow & had to move my mkultraXbubblegum outdoors I got a lockout from over feeding my waterfarms but turned it around while they were still vegging
