    First LED Grow (126W Penetrator LED) (Growing Short Riders)

    "Looking good man! Sub'd" Mineralz: Thanks man. I'll have some pics in the next day or two. Had to do a little trimming (some browning in the leaves). I'm a total rookie at this stuff so I don't expect perfection at this stage in my hobby. But overall they are looking pretty darn good...

    First LED Grow (126W Penetrator LED) (Growing Short Riders)

    Just about any good quality LED will Veg the shit out of a plant. That's where they shine. However the technology to flower is not there yet. The Hydro Guy in my area would only sell me the Penetrator Series lights. Okay yes he would sell me one of the junk UFO ones. But he's had so many...

    First LED Grow (126W Penetrator LED) (Growing Short Riders)

    The Penetrator 126W is $475.00. Or you can pick up the Pro Model for $635.00 From what I've found the prices in the brochure are pretty much what shops and online stores are charging. As far as electric goes It's supposed to consume 65% less power than a 250W HPS. At least that is what the...

    First LED Grow (126W Penetrator LED) (Growing Short Riders)

    Below are some recent shots of the (2) Short Rider girls. You'll notice the plants do not even look like they're from the same seed lot. One is very Sativa and the other short and very compact. Enjoy:

    First LED Grow (126W Penetrator LED) (Growing Short Riders)

    Well I was told (by a local hydro store guy) that there were quite a few customers getting some impressive results with the Penetrator LED's. Only time will tell, and whether good or bad results this experiment will run from start to finish. Hopefully this journal will shed some positive light...

    First Grow..Bumpy Road

    Ended up only yielding around 3/4 oz. But hey 1st grow, a 150HPS . . . and above all else one of the best smokes I've ever had. Very powerful (head high / body buzz). You really don't need much at all. Next time around I'll be adding some lighting or sure. * Pure fiction for enternainment...

    For a reference the center cola is almost as wide as an iPhone, and about an inch longer.

    First Grow..Bumpy Road

    Well about 45 - 50% of the pistils were amber. And I definitely wanted to maximize the THC and minimize the CBD / CBN . . . the stuff that makes you more stoned. Everything was pulled. Yeah I know the more immature ones could have still developed. But I you know what . . . they're just gonna...

    First Grow..Bumpy Road

    Looking to harvest this coming Friday. I will post the last pics of her "in one piece" and then after everything is harvested and clipped. Will also post total weight once everything is dried. Hoping for at least one zip . . . here's to hoping.

    LEDs Anyone? Advise Please

    Based on what the owner of my local HydroShop said, "Although the technology is not there for flowering the LED lights are incredible when it comes to vegging". So if one is looking to see some good growth during the Veg period either straight or supplemental LED sounds good.

    Sun System (SSII Mini 250W HPS)

    Hey appreciate the feedback man. I took what Flow Grow meant as being a very "similar heat output". Being that there is over double the wattage I'd be surprised if it wasn't a little hotter. Right now I'm at 70F (lights out) and around 83 - 85F lights on. So yes an additional 10F would put me...

    First Grow..Bumpy Road

    Thanks for the feedback man. Wish you the best of luck on yours as well. You'll have to give us a smoke report when she's dried and cured.

    First Grow..Bumpy Road

    About 3 - 5% of the pistils are just starting to turn amber. So I'm thinking I'll probably hit close to that 90 day mark for harvest. I now understand what "patience" really means. :-?

    Sun System (SSII Mini 250W HPS)

    Flo Grow: I actually still have a few weeks to go on my 1st Grow: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/411658-first-grow-bumpy-road.html So I greatly appreciate your input as I can still keep my current setup and simply swap in a 250. Even if there is a tad more heat I have the...

    Sun System (SSII Mini 250W HPS)

    Thank you all for the wonderful feedback to my question . . . ha ha. Anyhow no worries. I'm ripping down my current cabinet and am building a new one that can accomodate a full air cooled 250 - 400HPS setup. Happy growing.

    Sun System (SSII Mini 250W HPS)

    Question for the experts: Right now I'm using a mini (All in one) 150HPS. I'm holding a steady temp of 82 - 85F. I found a similar light (almost identical actually). However it is a 250HPS. My question is how much more heat does a 250W HPS put off vs. the 150W HPS? If it's...

    Lumens, Lux, and Adding It all Up

    Looking for some expertise here. I'd like to step up to a 250W from my 150W for my next grow. Problem is my current cabinet is built into the corner of the wall. So no room for both an intake / exhause (side flange ports). Found this on eBay for $185.00. It is a 250W HPS with a 5" cooling...
