That is a thing of beauty, all your girls in a row... U must be a proud papa.
Quick question since you've got the L.A. Con have you ever tried Recon? It's some mystery off shoot of the LA. Just wondering if anyone has experience with that strain?

Nope, I haven't heard of it yet. Any idea what the special pheno is?
I like advanced led lights, I think the look slick, Could u post some pics of ur light, what is the coverage like?Ditto. I've got two Advanced lights and I haven't a negative thing to say about them... keeping in mind that I'm just finishing my first grow.
I only wish my growing skills were on par with my lights' capabilities!

Hey WeJuana, all looking good, I'm using 2 of the 500 blackstars but I'm still open minded to all makes and models as long as they do the job without breaking the bank. Was just wondering if you (or anyone else for that matter) had a look at the Growstealth (not Stealthgrow) lights and if there is anyone on here who is using them ? Would greatly appreciate feedback and opinions as their theory on spectrums seems to agree with what I have believed for quite a while, and I think it is the reason why HPS tend to yield a bit more than LED. Peace all 
. P.S. if anyone has a link to a grow with these growstealth lights could you let me know please ?

judging from the photos, seems like the Spectra bud doesnt have as many pistils/hairs as the other two... can you confirm or do you see different results up close?
looking great and thanks for the great comparison so far. anxious to see how they turn out!!!
cheers

@maxpesh - I dont have any experience with those lights. Your mention of them is the first I have heard.
@mr.bond - I would say the Penetrator x and the Spectra look about even, the Blackstar looks a tad ahead. The Spectra has made the most improvement from yesterday to today though.

Thanks! I just got done mixing their first strong dose of bloom nutes which I will be feeding here in a few hours.
8-9 weeks.. that makes Dec 7-14 first chop!
Thanks! I just fed with the first dose of bloom nutes so the next few days should really be the start of the action.The difference in the Blackstar from day 11 to 12 is amazing, it's almost unbelievable, well done

I'm in veg stage at the moment but this time going for scrogg LST and seems like the way to go for LED. Under the 500's I'm gonna flower about 12" from canopy, but I've still got another week to 10 days of vegging to do. Anyway,as for your grow it seems like the blackstars at least up to now are turning out to be the best value for money but we shall see. Lots of people watching
Just watched the video u posted here, looks like the penetrator has got some green Led's in there, interesting as I told Cammie about the presence and advantages of green as a catalyst with blue and red light (article from Oxford journals), told a couple of more companys too about a year ago and I was just brushed off, ha ha

after looking at it again, I would say now that the Blackstar500 is my favorite, ... the leaves have more pep in them, they are not just hanging there but thriving, we can't see the red stems at all on this one because it is so bushy... it looks like the Spectra is the weakest of them all, is it the light or all the stems are really this red? Do you know the actual wattage output of each light again^? Do you find the soil is drying slowler with the LEDs, making in harder to feed as much as an HID setup?
