Are those autos? If so well fucking done. And I second the motion, HPS for the WIN! Personally I run a 1000w double ended MH for veg and HPS for flower in my 5x5

Those aren't, these were though. 600w hps, 1200w last 4 weeks. Little over 2lbs @ harvest. First grow.

Yup those look a lot more like autos lol. People love to argue efficiency but double ended HPS are still throwing down more light per watt than LED's unless you are looking to drop a couple grand on lighting a 5x5

Not only that, but who wants someone to walk in and say, "Damn. That's the most efficient weed I've ever seen!".....That's why I went 2x- 1000w se hps. $200 or $2000?
Hmm...let me see...

Dont top autos. LST. Put a bamboo stake in and tie them to it as they grow.

That was at like 8 weeks. That fucker actually never flowered (bad genetics) and I donated it to a good cause, but its the best picture I have of LST. I did the same thing to all my plants and they almost all had a nice even canopy like that.
