Ya these clones I got from the dispensary were really jacked up! If you saw what they looked like when I got them you would understand what I'm working with! Haha. Anyways, I took the clones right frOm he dispensary and planted them all in these three gallon pots. I am vegging them straight from start to finish with this blackstar. Check out my growbox grow, it's in my sig. How much for a 2011 500 frOm you?

=) its ok! I had the light 14-17 inches away because its different than my 300, but after talking to solarguy, i droppped it down to 10 inches.Nice setup sleezy1. That looks even better then the box. hehe
From the pics it looks like your plants r stretching. Might wanna keep that light lower.
I missed the whole 2nd page where everyone was talking bout the stretching.
Sorry bout that sleezy1.

Sleezy1,
I'm testing out leds for the first time since their furnished from my buddy. Based on penatration I feel scrogs are the way to go but I'm doing two seperate grows, scrog and regular. Just like with growing with an HPS I generally cut everything not getting good light penatration. So I'll just apply that to growing with LEDS. The regular grow is with a 400 watt fixture and scrog is 120. I'll be following this grow. What was the yield from your 300 watt grow? I'll be pretty straight up only counting solid nuggs which shows what these fixtures produce. Anyways, here's my grow with both the 120 and 400.

Hopefully we can compare notes and get better yields. Take care

I have a 300w LED Fire OG SCROG grow in progress right now. The 300w I have is a flowering model from Lighthouse Hydro. I only used my 300w from a clone until flowering (now 28 days into flowering). This current grow journal, is 16 days into Vegg and I am also using a flowering model 500w blackstar from start to finish.

I was doing the same exact thing! I was worried about the penetration so I bought a 300w LED and scrogged that in a growbox (It is a current grow, check my sig). Because I was impressed with the LED I decided to start another grow (this one) and bought a 500w blackstar and now I am doing a regular grow without SCROG to see the difference. If I have issues with penetration with the regular grow, I will either buy another light to supplement or I will SCROG the next time around. Ill check out your grow too so we can compare notes!

Day 18:
The stretching is slowing down and the plants are filling up since I have lowered the lights. No signs of nutrient burns from first feeding, so thats a good sign. Hopefully, they start bushing out soon! Day 30 is right around the corner! I plan to start flowering when they hit 20-22 inches tall.

Day 20: So this is day 20 since I planted the clones, and they are making a recovery from when I first got them. 3/6 clones were never really in good shape (2 of them have deformed leaves), so I am happy that they have made it this far. one of them is 18 inches tall, 4 of them are 16 inches tall, and the smallest runt is 12 inches tall. I am planning to start flowering at 22-24 inches tall or when week 4 hits, whatever is first. The plant I topped has not grown much since I have topped it. And Ironically, the weakest plant out of all of them is now the strongest, bushiest, and tallest!

Day 20.5: here are some pics with the lights on 12 hours after I took the pics without the lights on. Already there is new growth exploding. I think I might be a little early with flowering with these plants. Im at 19 inches at the tallest plant and 17 inches for the average, with one runt at 13 inches. I anticipate this strain to double in size during flowering, so I will start flowering when I hit 22 to 24 inches tall.

You read my mind! I was already thinking about adding that to the mix or by another blackstar 240Veg them untill you think there ready. Thats my advice.
Maybe you should add that 300 later on when your box is done.
