4 days in just changed the metal halide globes to hps was only 3 needed doing.
Not sure why but plants u can see in first pic are the tallest then the middle ones bit shorter then the 2 near the ac are shorter again.
The one under led is not stretching as much and nodes are very close together.20210909_142945.jpg20210909_142913.jpg20210909_142904.jpg

How’s the LED going mate?? What did they cost to get here?
$1205 delivered mate think you can get em bit cheaper if you use sea freight i chose air.
Leds going good led plant is shorter but the plant is alot more dense i noticed compared to hps.

So i realised there was a dead spot on these front two and a bit bare so i chucked the old hlg 550 up its only really like 480 watts.
Had a ppfd meter so i adjusted about the right distance to hopfully get a few nice lower buds.
Bit of bogan make shift cable tie setup watever works.
Also not the tidest person so dont mind the mess.

Yeah mate they big enough for pound per plant.
If they don't have enough air movement through the middles you could get bud rot that could be a big problem for you in late flower.
Just keep a close eye on em over the coming weeks!

As long as ya lights out humidity isn't getting to high and ya got good air movement over each of the plants you should be good then.
As buds start to thicken round week 5 onwards just check em closely every day!!
