I'd love to see the haters now...

Ya you guys are right! Just got lazy! Scrog definitely would rock hard!

Also, I used the screen material YOU recommended for my grow. Consider that, friend.

Nice.

Yeah, I love that green poly-coated fencing from OSH. It is ideal. Good lookin' out.

Started feeding the ladies Week 2 Flower Nutes. Girls are looking healthy and getting bushy. They are all about 28 inches tall now, with one probably at 30 and the OG Herojuana at 26 inches.

We have hairs! Opened up the tent this morning and found hairs growing on my girls. Things are looking great. Still slight stretching, had to raise the lights a couple of inches today.

The wide-bladed robust leaf structure of a heavy indica. That's gonna knock you on your ass. I can already see it.

Girls still stretching at 30-32 inches. More flowering sites are becoming evident. Plants looking healthy and getting bushier. Will be going out of town on Thursday to Hawaii again for a week. Updates will be down then. I will have my house sitter water the girls while I am gone. Hope she doesnt fuck it up. Everything is on timers all she has to do is water every 2 days with my premeasured nutes.

Those look really healthy. I think this is starting to look like one of your best?

Thanks lordjin! Ya took a couple runs to make my adjustments using these LEDs. Now I am getting everything dialed in with the nutrients, light distance, RH, etc. Pretty excited with the next few weeks!

I am currently using a 240w blackstar and I have a 500w coming in within the next hour in the mail. I read that the colder the room is, the better efficiency on the lights. Could you comment on that? Also, have you ever noticed bleaching on the plants if you got too close?

I have my house at 76 degrees constantly. In my tent it is about 80-82 degrees. I have not experienced any bleaching of the plants even when my lights were 6 inches away from the lights. During Veg I have my lights about 10-14 inches away from the top canopy, and during flowering, I have the lights 6 inches away.

Nothing to do but loiter in here until I start my grow.

It's nice seeing a grow become more refined with repetition. Let your journals serve as a guide and inspiration to all the baby growers timidly surfing these threads hoping to catch a glimpse of growing greatness.

When are you starting your grow journal and grow Lordjin? Yes it does take a few cycles of dialing in your grow when you are using new technology of Lights and new nutrients. I am pretty confident this grow should be pretty impressive at the end.

Yeah I can hardly wait to see that L.A.C. flower out.

I'm gonna get going asap. I'm waitin' on that 323Cheezy guy to get me some OG cuts from a shop out of San Fernando. I don't want to fuck around with some junk I could easily get around my area. Hoping for either Louie XIII or Tahoe, but I'll grow whatever he gets me.

I'm getting pumped by looking at all the current journals (yours included). Gotta get going fo sho.

Hairs are definitely showing each day I open up the tent. Stretching is slowing down. I will probably update one more time tomorrow before I am gone for a week. Everything is on track and looking good.

Dude, go by my shop West Valley Caregivers. They have OG cuts all day everyday! They may have the Larry OG your looking for. And I have seen the Tahoe there too! Do you really want to grow the Larry? I grew it once and it was a low yielder and is a more difficult plant to grow.

Sleezy, I just set up the 500w blackstar, it is crazy bright and crazy pink. I went blind when it turned out. I had to set up my t-5 in there to be able to see, but the plants seem to love it. Now I will be running the 240w and 500w in flowering and t5 in veg. These lights make so much sound that my downstairs neighbor complains at night during my veg cycle, but flowering is 10-10 so I guess im using both in the tent.
