1st grow. 250w HPS

Don Gin and Ton · Nov 12, 2009

best thing you could do lgp i know you wont like it but floggin a couple of oz to fund a tent fan n light setup will be the best investment you make, you'll never look back

only thing id say is get the 600 you'll only wish you had down the line.

jester~ man i bet hydro outdoors is a sight to behold!¬

Jester88 · Nov 12, 2009

yup 1000w lights are overrated more heat than good generally lol.

Hi LGP just stopping by.

I'd like to go hydro but,
A) I've no experience
B) I can't afford it.
C) I'm on the 1st floor of a 300yr old house, a flood could be catastrophic

Definitely trying coco next though.

Mr West, I will try to get those pics up today with the bud rot.

sweet but biter lol. Yep u wont regret going coco.

Sup guys I'm not a fan of coco. I've heard of it drying to quickly and other issues but same amount of bad I hear equal to or better things for coco as well. Hydro is a better yield, but is it a better smoke? Hydro to me is in the wierd field like l.e.d lights. If you were going Hydro which setup would you recommend yields the best amount?

Has anyone seen or done a grow on here with LED lights. Im interested in looking into it to cut down my energy consumption. Because of the heat from the lights I run an air conditioner in the summer and it costs fortunes so I would save on 2 fronts.
If LEDs work I would possibly cut my elec costs in half or even more.

Never used one or know anybody that does. Its like they're hiding out there till one amazing harvest comes out and legitamizes it. Let me stop I'm being harsh because I am planning to invest in a ufo to put side bye side my 250w to eliminate my side t8/t5 fixtures. Here is a link to htgsupply and also some info on one of their L.E.D'S

120 watt G3 LED GROW LIGHT Features:

The Tri-Band 120 watt LED GROW LIGHT does not require a ballast and simply plugs into any standard household outlet.
The Tri-Band 120 watt LED GROW LIGHT is manufactured using long life LED lights. These lights have a rated life of over 100,000 hours (there are 8,760 hours in a year).
The power use of the Tri-Band 120 watt LED GROW LIGHT is approximately 120 watts.
The Tri-Band LEDs are nearly 100% efficient at plant growth! This is 10 times the efficiency of a Sodium or Halide light!
Greatly reduced power consumption (uses only 120 watts!), over a years time, this will reduce power bills by hundreds of dollars when compared to a 600 watt HID system.
Less Heat Generated (very little heat, and what little heat it does generate is dissipated by the eight built-in fans) Drastically reducing your cooling costs, saving even more money.
Tri-Band Technology, with special full spectrum output.
Plugs into a standard household outlet
Environmentally friendly, no hazardous components.
Low weight, only 13 pounds.
Uses only 120 watts!
3 Built-In Cooling Fans

The Tri-Band 120 watt LED GROW LIGHT is the most revolutionary plant lighting product since the invention of the High Intensity Discharge (H.I.D.) lamp and ballast. Consuming only 120 watts of power and producing virtually no heat, the Tri-Band 120 watt LED GROW LIGHT boasts light intensity and growth rates exceeding that of a 600W HPS

Your gonna have some smooth nuggets over there keep it up. I lollipopped mine and it I haven't seen harvest results yet but light penetration is definetly alot better. I lollipopped all of mine already but you can maybe lollipop one and compare its yield to the rest your nonlolipopped one's. This is my Main girl lollipopped hopefully it was worth it for my harvest and helps on that decision making if you guys go that route

I didn't remove the lower branches because with my method I keep the plants small so the light gets down to the lower branches.....

oscaroscar · Nov 12, 2009

Thats what i do too, i don't see the point of growing a massive plant when the light only penetrates 2 foot at the most IMHO.
Plants look the nuts BTW
Are you gonna take some new pics soon LGP?
