Here's the problem, whether seeds, or even clones, there is no guaranty 2 plants will be 'identical'

Bahumbug! 2-4 clones from the same plant w/ all the same conditions more then suffices.
Anyone saying different is only saying so cuz their light of choice is losing the battle IMO.
I've got several identical clones right now & have always.
From seed, sure, you've got a point. But not from clone if done right.
I'd like to throw the PLC 420 up against my SE-450. 2 medium sized plants each, one of each.
Cased fixture vs. cased fixture, white vs. Enhanced white.
But I've been saying this for awhile n never get to follow through.

Probably going to go with the se-250 , 1-2 plants, maybe some autos.

Cool! I like the SE-250 allot.
If you're going autos, a good guy to talk to is @BigSmo. Weird. His name didn't pop up. Maybe he's done w/ RIU.
He gets 1.5 #'s off each SE-450 using 2-3 Autos in each 4'x4' consistently.
Monster Autos.

Not my experience and I have done plenty of clones from my own mothers

It's been rough bro, divorce is not easy.............

Adjusting in here at the new place, just started two autos in 10 gallon pots each under my 600W Blue MH. 3x3 tent. Will be doing some more aggressive LST this run to see what happens. Dropped (2) Mephisto Deep Blue C F2: http://mitch386.wixsite.com/mephistogenetics/product-page/deep-blue-c

Hoping for some nice colors being up north now in cooler atmosphere and the light source. I will be learning this run how to deal with low humidity I'm use to the opposite.

As for advice for STX, he can ask whatever he wants and I will answer to what's working for me, I'm no pro can only offer from what I have learned so far.

This run I am using this soil mix from buildasoil.com:
https://buildasoil.com/collections/soil/products/modern-mix-v2-0-malibu-base

I am also running an auto in this big a pot (10 gallons) for the first time. I am trying to increase my yields by doing aggressive LST and going with more dirt and we will see what happens. I can tell you the smoke from my last harvest of the autos has cured and it's some of the best smoke I have ever had, it's like a double high because I grew it. The difference to me between organic and nutes from the past is very noticeable and I prefer the organic both for taste and for ease of growing.

I will continue to water this run with my coconut/aloe and change it up with the fish fertilizer one watering each. The plants love the fish emulsion and they love the coconut/aloe water in the soil and as a foliar. What I learned the most last grow is how underestimated foliar feeding is. I saw such a HUGE difference doing this last run (for the first time).

Just my $0.02 guys If I can offer anything else let me know. And sorry to ramble so much @Hybridway in the near future I might finally get to order an Amare to compare we will see.......

Evil -

Foliar sprays make me nervous. Don't want to encourage molds etc.

When you foliar spray, do you drag the plant out of the grow area? If so, do you let it dry off before putting it back?

Been a very entertaining read! I have vast experience in growing under many different types of led, except cob. I have used many..

Just like to say I have 2 plantinum p150 panels and they are complete dog shit! I'm selling them to some unsuspecting mug! lmao

Do you ever think of these platinum panels, they go for some serious money. By that I mean somebody buys them, then does 1 grow, then sells them for a fair price to some unsuspecting mug... Then that just carries on... Like a turd that won't flush. These will probably be sold another 10 times for £100 or more lol

I like the Amare panels. I also like these cob builds people are doing!

I used to get accused of being a Budmaster shill lol I never was and am Not now! But I like their leds a lot and paid for them all. In fact I came across this video a week ago and didn't even know it had been made. Then saw it was my old white widow plant lol

I'm going back to growing with Budmaster, but their cobs instead of blurples. Been shopping round and the pre made panels are just pukka!

Anyway, this video was made by Paul at Budmaster lol Bit late buddy, but you have permission to use the photo's of my plant lmao

The ONLY two things I spray on my plants is the following:
1) https://growth-e-tech.com/product/method-1-pps-16oz/
2) The mix of my water with the aloe and coconut powder which is organic. I spray the plants in my tents and have had no issues even under 1000W and 600W HPS and COB lights and T5's etc.

Thanks for the links! How often do you apply the foliar during a grow? And if you don't mind, what are the proportions you use of the two powders and the water?

EDIT: The Build-A-Soil website has some interesting articles. I'd never heard of it before.
