Looks good... I've been using a 100W (2 cups) version to grow tomatoes and herbs... The thing kicks ass. I can only imagine what your lights will do.
I have blue hotspots on mine, but the plants don't seem to care. Are you noticing anything like that on yours?

I just realized one reason I may see them is because I have my lights ~30cm/12" from the top of my canopy.
How high are your lights? I didn't catch that in the previous posts.

pretty unreal so far! I've only fed them ONE time (they are due for a feed tomorrow judging by the pot weight which is crazy!).

Here is a comparison photo, day one on the left and day 9 (today) on the right.



Here are a few randoms from today as well.



And a real cool perspective shot I took when I LST'd them a few days ago (4 days ago I think).

Those bitches, erm um, I mean bushes are looking pretty sweet. Hope you don't have temp issues being so close to the outside temps. Any idea what your average temps are over the next 2 months?

I'm putting a hi/low thermometer in there today. Was thinking about enclosing the area also as its pretty chilly down there.

Note the droopy leafs. It could be lack of sufficient 500-600.

If you can, supplement with a couple Cree NW globes.

They could also be very thirsty. That amount of leaf will suck up a ton of water

They were plenty thirsty... I pretty much let them dry out to avoid the root rot!

They looked nice and perky on 8/22 the day after you watered.

Looking at 8/25 pics, did they wilt after being fed, or do you intentionally wait for them to wilt prior to watering?

Personally, I think that unnecessarily overstresses the plant

I just watered them. They are drinking a lot more than they were so I'll be stepping up the watering to every couple of days now.

been vegging for 25 days as of right now. this is what has happened growth wise in that time frame. I'm going to feed again today and veg for another 3 days to give it a full 4 weeks of veg then put the screen up and kick it over to flower.

Here are some updated pics of the grow. Of the five plants (all popped from seeds) there are 2 really strong phenos, amazing structure and no leaf curl what so ever. I will be cloning these 2 plants for the mothers and keep the better of the two based on yield, quality, etc. as the final mother.

At this point I would have to say that I am very impressed with this led's ability to veg. In fact its the best vegging grow light I have ever used and pending the flowering ability its safe to say that I will be making a significant investment moving forward.
