Haven't updated in about two weeks.. But progress is going well. Decided to switch back to veg after about two days of flower cycle. I know this stressed the plants, but I figured if I was going to main line these plants, veg lighting would help these plants recover quicker.. Anyways, here's some pics before I make my next cuts✂

Day 38:
Still veging, most plants have 8 mains and are starting to fill out.. All in all, I'm not impressed with this light. I'm definitely going to buy some new led chips, white spectrum cree's.. But until then, the slow grow continues!

Day 45:
Started 12/12 last night, and so the stretching begins.. Tent is starting to get packed, so hoping to weed the males out ASAP and free up some room! I just took a week off of work, and am planning a trip up north to Eugene, Portland, and then hitting the coast! I've watered these girls thoroughly, and hope they can survive a 4/5day drought. I'm expecting them to be stretched out and showing signs of sex by time I get back, so we'll see!

Looks good. But 800 watts of LED for a 36" by 20" area? That is a lot! 250-300 watts would be ample as long as they are running pretty efficient, 140 lumens per watt or better. Also, those look like small COBs in the picture of the light, I doubt they are capable of 200W each unless they are being over-driven. I am curious to see how well they work, but something seems off with that 800W light.

I think the actual wall wattage is 240w.. It's just advertised as an 800.. But these 60w diodes seem to have a pretty nice effect on the plant..

Day 54 (day 10 of flowering):

My apologizes for another delayed update, been getting lazy with this blog.. Anyways, I've weeded out all of the males, and am now down to 6 beautiful females, and last night they all got transplanted from 1 to 3 gallon smart pots. I decided to go with my shop's own soil mix.. It was full of good stuff and didn't seem to be too hot.. I also bought some organic blooming fertilizer, but won't start implementing that for another week or so.. Next step is trimming down tomato cages and securing these girls' wild branches..

So I had to ditch a couple girls bc my roommate got all weird, and I wanted to be legal if Johnny law ever came snoopin, so now I'm having to stash these bitches at a friends house until my new apartment is ready to move in..
Hoping I don't stress them too much, have even considered chopping them, but I really want to make some clones.. Erg.

Anyways, they're starting to fill out more and more everyday.. Here's some pics!
