I don't think mine did grew an inch and a half in the last month under the kind. They just started flowering when it came in so maybe that's why. Maybe 2-3 zips a plant which is good enough for me on a first run doing autos. Next round I know I'll kill it, they survived and that's impressive. Now that I have a clue it should go smoother.

This first grow is the practice run for me , so far I've overcome the few issues I've had , plants are looking pretty good , the size is what amazes me . i have 5 full sized plants with multiple tops around 4 feet tall a week into flower .. Really beefy plants and a few clones . This round is the test run and the new room I'm moving into will be the real deal I guess .
I have no idea what to expect off of this first batch but I'm hoping for a decent yield and quality

I'm doing a room build journal on auto flower.net been fun as hell even though I don't have many followers lol. Just got in a few minutes ago actually 16 hours of production. Still working on lights to. Go green led has a deal on cobs buy 3 get one free but they are still overpriced a little. As for your plants dayum! Either mine suck or your doing something great. Mine are 24" wide and 24" tall some real nice 1 liter bottle sized buds all over. Time will tell

I've I've trimmed and pruned them quite a bit up to this point but they grow vigorously and one in particular is just amazing and displays significantly noticeable growth on a daily basis , I took several cuttings from it a week ago as I realized she was special lol

I feed as much as I can without burning them .. I might see a minuscule burnt tip occasionally .. Kind of got that down with this round .. feeding them as much as I can without damaging them

They look great too mr nevadat. They are going to explore very soon. As for the light it will work and probably do just fine in that space but you should check out come of the cob kits. Go green led has a sweet 4 cob set for 539. It probably has a lot more unable light even though that one claims 300 watts.

Yea true I can't remember the specs but I did extensive research prior an checked out a lot of high-dollar ones some very cheap ones and more specifically I started looking at the types of LEDs the wattage of individual LEDs and the overall wattage of the units and ended up paying about 130 for it but yeah definitely I will check those out

I currently use Area 51 Cree LED's and just by chance came by this in an automotive group. I'm not very technical on this stuff would this be an option looks like 2 separate lights with 6 Cree LEDs in one housing for $160.... Is this compare able to the 4K crees from Area 51?

Sorry man. I was sending good energy. I'm amazed that these things see such a growth rate. That's why I'm researching these LED threads. My first light is going to be for germination as well as a few weeks for growth. Then it's outdoors they go..

I'm far from an expert lol as I'm new to growing .. But I've tried 2 different LEDs that are good for full cycle growing ..
The first one I got was the Kind xl1000 which go for around 1700$ a piece ..
I thought it was the best light ever based on my results throughout veg with it .. Then a fellow member of the forum here got me to look at the AT600 by Apache Tech and it is an amazing grow light for 2500$
There are 100s of cheaper options but I can't attest to the quality or results . Since you're just looking to get them started from seed and veg for a couple weeks before putting them outside I'd go with something cheaper I suppose . But I do all my growing indoors in a controlled environment so the lights I have are a good investment for my needs .

I started with a 600 watt MH / HPS setup but the efficiency was poor and then I read up on Led tech and it's the way to go as far as I'm concerned .
The Leds I'm using have inspired incredible growth in my plants using less electricity than traditional lighting so I can say I'm definitely an Led loyalist at this point
