thanks for stopping by this is my first time using a led so by the end of this grow I will have a better understanding of a cob led

I'm in the second day of rain showers so the humidity is up but so far it looks like the second fan is working I'm expecting a lot of rain this winter so this may just end up being normal when I lived in Stockton the delta kept humidity at higher levels than this worst case is that I might have to change strains but it's too early to tell

Sounds like fun, I am in Sacramento.
In my experience HID needs fans for heat, but LED needs fans for circulation as a result of less heat
I actually reversed my exhaust as an intake to blow heat from cobs onto canopy in the winter

yeah I learn slow but I'm learning I read somewhere you have dream Queen? I'm considering it for future grow any input you have appreciated

My clones are 3 days old so no info there really, but I did grow a cut of her 6 yrs ago from a random dispensary.
She builds solid colas, and only needs 8 weeks flowering 50-100% stretch in first 2 weeks flowering.
Very fruity smelling and tasting, slightly sativa leaning hybrid, but this might be wrong entirely if this cut is different.
I will look and see if I have any old pics of her.

today is drizzle out so I'm gonna clean my black powder stuff & just hang out in front of the fire since retiring out my lifestyle has slowed considerably

I have never grown a single plant to try for a pound from one, but I have grown a pound from 376 watts at the wall in a 2x4 tent with my diy leds. I had 4 plants in there in 2 totes.
One tote was Jack Herer, the other was Killawatt, I pulled 16.8x oz between them.
Like 1.25gm/w, under hid I NEVER broke/0.5g/w so I am not leaving my cobs especially since the hid stuff is all sold now except one hood with no glass and 6 used bulbs. Probably toss that stuff soon

this is the kind of stuff I like to hear I doubt if I make it this grow but I'm not giving up & learning as I go at some point I'm gonna research diy cobs as your imagination is the limit timber is easiest but if you can make wiring harnesses & rout stuff as well as fabricate you can cut a lot of the cost now on the lighter side I sure miss drifting live bluegills for stripers in the delta
Haven't stopped in since a few weeks ago. Man I've missed a lot!
I'm sorry to hear of the mold, but least you got on top of that early!
Don't worry about the flowering, I've grown under led for years. It just grows a bit more neater than hps does. It's a great looking plant and is clearly loving the led. It's been leaf praying relentlessly for ages now
Providing you don't cut it down early, it will start growing buds out the sides of the buds, later in flowering. By then you will look back and laugh at the concerns you had, coz if this plant stays this happy and healthy you're onto a real winner!
Imo for every 100 tops grown under hps, you need 150 tops grown under led. By that I mean in the same space, 150 led buds will take up the same amount of space as 100 hps buds. So with led growing, you just create more tops to begin with. You end up with more smaller tops, but more dense buds with led. But take advantage of them being smaller by creating so many tops! That's the secret to matching hps yields with led. Don't worry though, you have created those extra tops on your plant! I just meant in general growing under leds. Your plant has loads of tops, so will be a major success!

hey fevs thanks for stopping by & thanks for sharing your knowledge I've been intending to to check on your c-99 as that strain is on my bucket list & in these days of newest & bestest gotta have it strains c-99 & a handful of others have stood the test of timeHaven't stopped in since a few weeks ago. Man I've missed a lot!

I will confirm what Fevs says that COB buds are very dense, not sure if the light does it or the heat in tent is lower causing it, after flowering 3x under cobs its not a fluke its real.
Tighter buds does raise the risk of mold if air flow isnt strong. I added a fan under canopy during flowering
This is speculation, but I think terp profiles are stronger with cobs as well

C99 is an amazing strain!
I love hazes, but hate the typical jack smell/taste. C99 has fruity smell/taste and solid colas and 7.5-8 weeks flowering time.

as my canopy grew vertical I raised my oscillating fan with it & deprived the bottom of circulating air I added a fan to the bottom focusing it on the top portion of the water farm which has a large drip ring a good source of moisture I also thinned out growth in the area to the point that I can hold my hand on the opposite side of the plant & feel air which is working I'm gonna add another oscillating tower fan for the lower level as the tower fans sit in a corner & don't take a lot of room to operate when this grow is done I gonna pull everything out & get my room into its final configuration

people hate on greenhouse /arjan but speaking of hazes superlemonhaze has been some of my best grows when riu had the great crash all my pics were lost blue dream/ dream queen are catching my interest as well as midnight farms Tahoe cure & the sour alien Apple one citrus sap looks like a good one as well this spring I'm seriously considering firing up a second grow to offset my harvest times to every 45 days instead of 90 days possibly an a are se-250 & a 3x3 tent & of course a dwc/ water farm as I'm learning more every grow

I just harvested some SLH from clone. Dried for close to 3 weeks and 1 week in jars. Really nice and energetic but still not a pounding heartbeat and great smell and taste.
I did the 4 plants in a 2x4 again with close to 400 watts cobs, and the SLH side pulled over 8 oz.
The buds are SUPER triched out, and my wife who doesnt smoke pointed out how shiny they look.
The other side of tent was Killawatt. Not a super impressive strain, and will hermy after 8.5 weeks IME but yields and has the densest buds I have ever grown. I dont grow that strain for personal use.
Ive grown BD from clone 3 different times, and never got a bid yield like everyone claims (maybe they prefer hydro or outdoors?), actually under average for me. Everyone always likes it and so I grow her every 2nd or 3rd grow.
I grow in recycled organic soil, people who say soil cant yield are much better at hydro than me I guess, my best yields ever are organic soil, and Ive tried several ways.

I also think air flow under canopy gets stale air out helping lower buds get more solid and less larfy

if things are working out I wouldn't change a thing most of those huge yielders lack on quality I once grew female seeds white widow-x- big bud it looked amazing but one hit & you were through ( lol) no one wanted it so that was a lesson learned the hard way I've grown headband about 4-5 years back this cut is more og than what I had & I cloned so if This comes out like I think it's gonna I've got my next round & im gonna get another strain before the spring rush for clones rcp is convenient for me as I don't like the traffic going over the hill to the bay we always hit the elk grove Golden Corral on the way back
