Not sure of your experience level on weed sites but almost no one looks at blurple pics
Take pics with a different light or lamp and people will respond

Just a quick update on my low budget led closet grow got one plant that looks like it's nearly ready full of brown hairs swollen buds very sticky and resinous, cloudy trichomes the other the smaller of the two still has a lot of white hairs only some starting to brown and clear trichomes the larger of the two and most done is under a 350w ufo with more warm white LEDs as well at the usual red blue uv and it the smaller plant is under a 300w ufo led with more red and blue.very little warm white still has the usual ir and uv I think the actual power draw is 65w 300w led and 85w 350w led both plants are from the same bag seed I got so I presume there the same strain and they have both filled the tent all grown into each other and taken up the shape of the tent so I wonder if I swapped the LEDs over will it speed up the slower plant or just cause problems I want to use the tent for drying so it's the only discreet place I have to dry how late can I leave one for the other to at least get cloudy trichomes or will it stress the further ahead plant too much leaving it beyond peak harvest window I don't have any special filters or lamps to use for taking a pic with the lights on and can't move them out of the tent with out risk of snapping intertwined stems there all intertwined at the bottom the lights are at the top of a 140mm tent

awesome grow buddy,,, plants look great, i like how you post about your lights, and actual draws,, i wish i could ad more reds to my cobs,, looks like your lights are pretty much shedding light all over yhour grow space,, i would just leave things alone,, but i like easy,, i also dont like taking chances,, for me the idea of dropping alight on my plants hahaha,, any how, keep up the good work,,
oh i Too Dry in my grow space,, same reasons,, often times you just have to choose when to harvest, and whack it all down and hang it to dry,,

Pulled them out the tent today to have a look in natural light what little there was they looked a lot greener outside than under the LEDs I was going to chop them but I decided to give them a bit longer the buds are rock solid and very sticky I tied up the bottom branches but still a tight squeeze for the two in the 60x60 tent

Chopped dried in the tent for 7days trimmed and boxed a bit over dried crispy on the outside but still very sticky so I guess there must be moisture inside but all trimmed up weighing in at 70g crispy dry from 150 actual watts LEDs soil grow

Cheers weed whacker it's a nice smoke too this is my first run with LEDs and 7.5 litre smart pots with organic super soil my own mix and I used banana peel tea for added fertilizer during flowering a few things I can dial in for next time but a good first attempt with this sort of set up I think

A couple of pics of my auto run these are 8 weeks from seed the little one looks ready but the big one has a bit more time left n it the buds are very strange looking but not are very sticky and stinky still using 7lt root nurse pots and pre mixed soil banna peel tea fertilizer I'm hoping to keep the little one going until the big one is done

had issues. With the extractor fan control packing up the fan was humming but not pulling the air out the internal fan was just circulating warm air I didn't clock on for a few weeks thought. The yellowing was just natural the temps went up to 28c 30% humidify once I sorted it temps went back down to 25-26c 35-40% humidify growth has slowed. now seeds sprouted 10 Jan so 16 march id say its about done now not the very best of pheno types of this strain i have seen and they had poor growing my mistake during. The crucial flowering stage very quick though and hardy would definitely do these again I reckon with the right conditions you can pull off decent yeilds in a short space of time they seem to go from seedling to flowering and mistakes are costly in respect of harvest quantity.
