What did you use to suspend your light with?

 

[zippywalnut]

Hey Zippy, are you also blogging at the website that CLW lists? If so, I will follow you over there as well. I am also doing the GFP for CLW, I have the same screen name on the other forum if you want to look me up and follow my journal. I also use a 357 Magnum (not Magnum +) in my grow, which I will soon use for my veg instead of T5, although the SS 400w blows it out of the water, I still really like the Magnum. Here is a link to my other blog if you are interested in following.

Hey zippy, I had the same issue with my hydro under BS240.. Leaves falling off. Shortly after I noticed root rot, agin in my (hydro). Tee fixed my problem but the leaves falling off could also be due to lack of air flow. How's ur airflow bro? And sub'd for sure!!

Hey Bags, I've actually been peeking in at your journal over there. Check out mine here. However, I tend to be more up to date on RIU due to the lack of activity on LEDGrowLight. I'm really impressed with the Solar Storm400. Highly considering on picking up a second light for my next tent. The Veg was awesome.

Thanks DIT. I think I've figured out what the problem was, although I think it has already stunted one of the ladies pretty bad (should still get quality bud still). I'm pretty sure it ended up being a pH lockout which caused a deficiency. Still not exactly sure but I'd be surprised if it was due to lack of air.

Brow, I was looking for a led panel and your grow definitely made my choice for the SS 400! Very nice girls there, Im anxious to see this crop!
Do you think there's any problem using it in a small 2x2 tent?
Also would appreciate if you could give me the dimensions of the box as Im gona ask my girl to bring it to me from US.
Thxs and congrats!

Just a heads up ........ all CLW products only work on 120v............I don't know what country your in

Hey Bud, thanks for checking in. I just threw the box out a few days (had to be sure i wanted to keep the light, and i sure do). It was probably about 24x18x12inches. Maybe bigger. I'm sure if you email George or Brandon at CLW they'll be happy to inform you. Great guys/company.

The SS400 may be a bit overkill for a 2x2 tent, and if you don't have proper ventilation you will definitely run into some overheating issues. I feel the tent i'm using (36x20x63) is IDEAL for this lamps footprint. It does warm up the room a bit and I don't have any AC so I just keep the window open during light hours and keep an eye on room temp.

Here's a pic of one of the colas from the lady on the left. The better looking of the two.

Woww!! Looks like its getting ready hum!? How many days more?

Ziggy, I didn´t expect this panel could heat up a room... =/
I´ll keep the grow door wide open when leds are on, with 2 fans running inside.
Do you really think I would have heat problem, being better option the Solarflare 200W instead??

 

[zippywalnut]

Couple more days until chop. Here's a few close-ups of the better looking chick.


couple of the colas have minor light bleaching. It's weird though because there are some colas that are closer to the lamp that do not show any signs of bleaching. Must be something with where the colas are placed under the lamp....

 

[zippywalnut]

Gave it 48 hours of dark and then chopped. About 13 weeks from clone. Letting it dry in the same tent, just took the lamp out. Hopefully they'll dry sooner rather than later, trying to make the party cup deadline .

Before


First Branch


Realized I would quickly run out of room to hang each branch so I just chopped the whole thing.


PS.

Merry Christmas yall

 

[budweiser br]

Good work! Did you weighed ?

I think that what you got there is hashtips , I had it on some Agent Orange and it`s not unusual with LEDs. I am still curious to really see if it`s bleach or truly hash tips but google ``hash tips`` and you should find an article I found a while back. Look at 1.12 in my Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-_yHBHupCs

As far as I could tell it really seemed to be a ``hash tip`` meaning just loaded with trichs. Let me know what you think.

Your plant looks fantastik by the way very very beautiful, well done

 

[zippywalnut]

I actually did a little research when I first noticed the white tips. Read a few debates and nobody seems to be 100% correct. I'm not really sure. If anyone else would be so kind to clarify that'd be nice. I'm still smoking it bleached or not .

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!

 

[Endur0xX]

fuck yeah!! I tried to looked at mine with a microscope but the buds were covered in trichs so it really looked like a hashtips ... but I am still sceptical I dont understand how we have never seen hash tips with HIDs and so I think it's a slight bleach from too much light intensity.

 

[SCARHOLE]

Nice journal man.
Pluss rep.
I want to try the solarstorm now lol.

 

[djwimbo]

Did you ever get a final weigh in? Looks like the SS400 paid for itself.
