LED GLH Spectra 180 x 4 - 720 watt LED SCROG

[Shwagbag]

holy shit!!!! bad ass set up bro!!!! looks like UFC grow!!!! and that is gonna be a whole lot of light!!! i can't wait to see it shock the world!!!

Thanks Stoney, haha, I don't know about shock the world lol. Thanks for checking it out dude, its nice to have people that know these lights. Where are your temps settling in your tent? I'm a little warm, would like to drop mine some, going to order a new fan today I think.

EDIT:

Well the temp was holding steady at 86 this morning. Running offset with the HID unit in the room helped a bit. I think I'm ok with 86 for this time of year since I will primarily be running this LED tent in the winter. I have some extra in-line fans I may add to help bring fresh air in, will see how one of those effects the temps.

I tell you I could sit and weave that plant through the screen for hours lol, having fun so far! I swear I had significant growth in the past day, already starting to creep over the screen, just trying to keep spreading it. Have a good day all!

Thats what I've heard about potency but as long as its pretty good bud and has good yields I'd like to give it a try!! I grew nirvana WonderWoman my First/second and third grow lol and If I still had a clone I would keep her going, I love nirvana strains so far!

Yeah I honestly don't understand why someone would say that. Nobody has ever tried my PPP and said that its not potent enough, just asked for more lol. IMO there are no questions about her potency.

Here is a couple different PPP plants I've done over the past couple years, wish I took more photos. The first photo was my first grow, I was very pleased! The others are after I mastered the craft of training, obviously lol. Go get some!

Nice grow and that PPP looks tasty! It's one of the strains that are on my to do list

I would love to have a scrog one day, it looks like so much fun.

My temps are nothing near that high. I am blessed with cool grow temps. the lights are on now and it's 73.4F. don't be worried though... plants love it nice and hot like you have it!!!

this is a way you can gain 7" of headroom in about 5 minutes.....

I would eat it!

Thanks Stoney, I'm going to do this tomorrow morning Its a little warmer than I like it but it will work for now. Perhaps raising the lights towards the filter/fan will help to pull some warm air out.

No problem, I preach the PPP

I just checked on her, temps are running the same, the weather is getting cooler though so it should drop over the next couple weeks. She is very happy! Weaved the screen some more, its filling up! Will get some pics tomorrow morning.

She's getting a nice dose of some bubbling tea in the morning. Have her bubbling overnight. Subcultures and all hope it makes her happy. 2 gallons of poopy stanky deliciousness.

Gave her the tea last night as soon as the lights came on Dropped the screen and broke a few branches. Had to re-situate the branches again to fill the screen. I thought it would be best to drop the screen a bit since I will be raising it a couple times anyways. Gave me about 3" more head room to work with and opened up the canopy a bit more. Will loop the hangers like Stoney showed in his pic today too. Today is day 2 of flower. I stressed her a bit so I will wait until tomorrow for some pics.

EDIT

Had a few minutes this morning so I adjusted the lights per Stoney's recommendation and I am much happier. Temps were 81 this morning, it was cool last night and I think dropping the screen just that 3 inches helped to drop the temp a bit more too. I think raising the lights will help to drop it into the 70's tonight . Took a few pics of progress. Officially day 2 of flower.

Looks promising ill be watching

Lights just came on, I love visiting her when she wakes up lol. Smoked a bowl of Super Lemon Haze and filled the screen. She'll be full in probably 2 more days. Then the screen will come up some and I will trim some more under growth. Hoping for a short stretch. Thinking of dropping the lights a little, not sure if it makes a difference with these LEDs though. I'm very excited, if all goes well I should be pushing flowers by next weekend I just don't know what to expect for yield since I'm used to using HID. Its making it fun though!

Looks promising ill be watching

Thanks for joining! Glad to have some growers coming along.

 

[SmeLLyTreeZ]

Thats a big girl, looks sweet so far I'm excited to see what you get too!
I was just smoking some blackberry and my blackberry seeds are just popping the surface, ah life is good lol..

I'm badly in need of a day to wake and bake when I don't have to work. Winter is coming, and I will have my day! Kick back and enjoy bro. Regarding the yield, I'm a little nervous because I've never used LED's before. I have seen good flowering results with them though but I'm wondering if I should expect a lot of stretching with LED compared to HID. Some of the LED plants I've seen look like they have a tendency to stretch more than usual, idk.

Yea I hear ya on the led's, I dont know much about them but between you and stoney it looks like they get the job done. We will really get to see what they can do with the screen! Just like anything else your first time is a learning experience anyway, do they usually lower those like the do HID's until you see slight burn and back them off? Or do you just leave those babies in one spot like 3 feet away?

Hell if I know lol. I think generally they should be lower than what I've been running them. But I've gathered that there is a bit of an intensity problem with the V1's, which I think I have, causing stress... Its been recommended to hang them higher than normal. I think the right thing to do is lower and look for stress. I lowered them a bit today and I will lower them a bit more every other day until I find a bit of trouble. Thanks for getting my motor running, I'm just going to take it slow and work my way down. Screen will be full really soon then its up from there.

I had one of the first gen 2011 100w ufos - great light but you are correct on the intensity issue. I just kept mine a bit higher than my others which are usually at 8 inches - 10inches from the canopy didn't bleach with my 100 watter. I think Mike was (or is still) taking returns on the V1 models or sending a reworked transformer to retro fit the models. Might be worth an email to GLH.

Fairly certain the lights I'm using are returned V1's..... I felt that I would be able to work with them just fine considering the vertical height I have to work with. Getting in touch with Mike is very difficult, I wouldn't be optimistic about getting a fast turnaround on them for an exchange. I'm going to go with the feel and dial it in for max intensity and penetration. Thanks for the help hoss!

I'm all caught up to this point and am pulling up a chair to watch this. Awesome scrog. I'm using 740w led from seedling into 12/12. Ganna be nice to see a massive tree like yours after looking at my tiny plants.

Thanks dude! I'm happy to have people following along, I'm having a lot of fun so far. I think the thing I like most is that I may get a very nice yield from this and I only have to maintain one plant for it. This I like haha. Thanks for the compliments please do stick around! I think i will take a couple pics in the morning, I have a feeling the screen will be nearly full.

 

[brokenturtle3102]

Right, I can only imagine having to take care of only 1 plant. I have at the moment 1 femd Jack herrer from greenhouse seeds in a waterfarm bucket setup. Its a seedling, 6 days of out sprout but im vegging her for 6 weeks. Maybe then I might have a monster plant. Until then, my canopy is pretty open in my tent with 12 females from seed. I guess for the moment I like having more than one strain. Got 5 different strains going that are all time favorites of mine
