Looks like the canopy filled out nicely in the week between pics.
Packed in tight and probably won't overgrow your tent height.
Grow on..

How high are your temps running with the Veros?
I don't see anything wrong with the setup... it works obviously... Grown on...

7ish weeks and this Buds The Size of Your Thumb adventure will be coming to a wrap soon
Just giving them the next week to see if there is any final plumping and ripening in there.
This was just something for fun and to do a 1 plant scrog. After this I will try something more conventional with a different strain and see if the Vero18 can support a much larger bud. Maybe 5 clones with a short veg before flip, we'll see!

Nice job. The Vero 18's should be able to support a much bigger bud. I just got done with my first led diy using 6 Vero 18's @ 1050ma in a 21"x33" box and got some good size ones 5g or so after dried. Actually pulled about 75 ,75 & 90 (240g+) off three ladies. Those heatsinks work pretty well? Im looking to go passively opposed to the cpu/fan heatsink I have them on now.

I haven't taken any temps but the cobs haven't melted down yet so I would say they work lol. They are designed to accept Vero18
They are pretty hot to the touch when running

Ok, probably a bit early but Day 53 chop on this girl.
Lot's of milky pistils and I am seeing a few male parts that I don't like (NOTE TO ALL: Cats and Tents don't Blend Well!!) - Some black duct tape will be taking care of that for next round

She has hit the drying rack and I will be back in 5ish days with some dry weights. As stated earlier this is not purely about weight and was not a heavy yielding strain.
The Vero's did grow the plant much healthier than my previous mono panel attempts and I am starting another run from seed to try the vero's again.
I will continue this thread with all further grows under these 4 Vero 18's rather than clog up the forum with a bunch of new posts on the same topic.
My hydro setup performed flawlessly
Now - pics or it didn't happen lol

Haven't melted yet! Love it! Maybe I'll try a few on the 3 Vero 18 seedling/veggie light I'm putting together next. I have some 70-90v 525ma drivers from a Vipar I ripped apart. Im finding locating economical heatsinks the hardest. The 5$ 80w coolermaster cpu sinks keep the cobs very cool and air flowing but id like cut the extra moving parts out of the equation. I did find some 18"x4"x1.75" reclaimed heatsinks for $ 20 but no info on ' em except that there 5lbs a piece. Hmmmm. ..

One plant in a 2'x2' w/ what, 200 watts w/ x4 Veros?
Cool! Thanks for documenting.
Add a Johnson next time. 400 watts. No? One of your 4 cob Johnsons in the middle. That would get you the bigger buds right?!

Just read back. 141 watts.

Ok, harvest report time
If I counted that big ass pile of sugar-larf trim as we all know most are doing I am sure I would be at 1.5 g/w
Now the reality, 141W of vero on this run yielded me 2.10 oz or 59.6g of somewhat budish material - .42 g/w
I know there is room for improvement all around and will be playing with these cobs some more :hump:
