DWC LED 600W Starting from Seed :)

Week 9 Veg:
There's 8 "main" bud sites there. Even with me overwatering and stunting the growth and then having 60% of the roots die, she still came back and is flourishing.

1week and 2 days into Veg:
This one has been topped once.

1week and 2 days into Veg:
No lst or topping, just going to let her grow.

Looking beautiful mate!! You may want to tone down on the nitrogen though, they are bordering on N toxicity which will cause issues in flower

How are you able to tell?

Just by the darkness in the leaves mate, they look really dark which is a sign of too much N. If you can snap a quick pic with lights off I'll be able to tell for sure.

glad I ran into your thread as I'm wanting a led like yours to replace my 400 w. hps I'm on my first grow using a waterfarm I made a lot of mistakes early in the grow but finally overcame them got my scrog filling in I see you've had some troubles of your own glad to see you got back on track how do you like your light ?

I've been reading about the scrog method since ChronicBoomz pointed me in that direction, and I think that's what I'm going to try for my next grow, looking at all the pics online of 32+ bud sites filling a 4x4 looks beautiful. As for the light I'm loving it so far, electric bill hasn't drastically went up, dense foliage and close internodes, maybe to dense honestly some leaves are malformed because they grow so close to one another, but that could probably be avoided with better lst, I'm not the best at it. It does put off heat but the fans in the unit disperse that heat and with an exhaust fan running I've had no problems. I'm only in veg and have not used this light in flower so I do not know how it will perform. The manufacturer claims full spectrum lighting so hopefully it will do well during flowering. Also this doesn't really affect the actual plants but I do like the pink/purple hue the light produces

my scrog is 29x29 under a 400 hps. with a single plant in a waterfarm that's why I'm so interested in your 600 vipar led. to replace my 400 here is my scrog

this is a friends 1200w. vipars on their first grow they're budding up real good I don't think that you're gonna have any problems

Not to sound ignorant but I thought the point of the scrog was to make everything level? Or is that picture after the first 2-3 weeks of flower where you stop tucking?

That looks great! I'm about a week away from switching to 12:12. After many bumps in the road it will be very exciting to finally see the buds start growing.

Last trimming/training done to my mainlined plant. Thinking about grabbing a tomato ring from the store to support this one once the stretch begins.


1week 5days: No topping done.

1week 5days: Topped once.

I mainly use the scrog to spread the plant as even as possible under the light I keep tying the faster growing ones down while others play catch up I also remove leaves they block light from bud sites also a bit of supercropping as my limbs are getting too large to tuck under the screen this is my first time scrogging a single plant when the stretch stops it will even out better everyday I do some training I'm not an accomplished scrog grower every grow I learn a bit more as I go

So I flipped all 3 girls yesterday, so I'm shooting to harvest mid October. Currently sitting in my grow room waiting for lights to shut off to ensure no light leaks (pretty paranoid, really don't want anything herming out on me)

Mainlined
1 Cola (at 11th node)
Topped/LSTed/Tiny bit of defoliation.

I think I may have put the 2 newer ones into flower too early, they hadn't shown maturity yet, but my first plant was getting to big and I was getting a little impatient too haha

Any comments or criticism are welcome!

Would like to know how your mainline and super cropping went? Like to see pics and how did the mainlining yield?

If I don't fly imma die anyway

I now have a led & have another grow going this time it's headband she is a real booger to train & ive broke a few limbs in the process 35 days ago this plant was a 6 in. clone

I'm actually in flush right now! The mainlining technique worked fantastically, I probably will mainline every plant from here on out with how well it did. I really enjoyed the mainlining process, I have busy hands and it was really nice to be able to go in everyday at the beginning stages of plant development and tweak or make minute changes to the setup.

I harvested 1 plant early because I noticed a nanner and didn't want it to spread but it seems like I caught it in time.

Tomorrow when my lights pop back on I'll take some pics, and when I harvest I can take a pic of my stem system if you would like as well. Anyways the colas on the mainlined plant are bigger than the plant that wasn't LSTed at all and just look gorgeous.
This was a pic from a couple weeks ago.
