the LEDs are Cree household socket LEDs from Home Depot. They work extremely well with the bulbs removed. There's actually a huge thread on nothing but using these bulbs for flowering and people were surpassing the yields of hps lighting with them. Do you have a link to your grow journal? I'd like to follow and interested to see how sour D turns out.
Dude...your grow setup is sick...love the stackables...what a great idea...and i may look into those led lights...they save way more electricity than the hps...plus it costs a bunch to control temp in the tent with it. The aurora Indica is one Nirvana strain that i wanna try as well...It was on sale on their weekend whopper and i missed it...So i'm waiting for it to come around again. I grew NYPD and it was probably the best strain i ever grew...you need major odor control for that...got in so much trouble from the smell...even during veg!!!!
Here is a link to my grow...

Right?? Lol. I have to say I was not ready for the sativa stretch. Kinda took me by surprise...however I had two or three days with no power or light and that really hurt me. She stretch nearly a foot in those few days. I'm hoping next go around I can keep her much more compact. She does have a tart fruit smell to her!

yeah the stackable a are a really good setup. I can't take credit for the idea, a guy named Erkof has a whole thread about them on reddit. They all use the 5gallon buckets from the hardware store. Mine is very low tech compared to some of the other ones, he makes his own led lights and installs them in his stackable so as side lighting all around. Some of his plants are unreal for having been grown inside of a bucket. As for the Cree LED lights they are awesome and put of almost no heat.

Tart and fruity sounds awesome. My ice smells like kerosene and lemons almost, it's getting pretty sticky now too.

Papya was my favorite surprisingly, not huge yielder but nice heady.

Master k was my favorite outdoors, just huge squat bushed of love they were fire. El Dorado was good, nice piney cola's but nothing exceptional.

We were doing a bigger grow indoors and I had my outdoor but my partner didn't tell me, that he and his wife were getting a divorce. It went literally from having a finely tuned 20x30 indoor in a barn, to the next day walking out to emptiness. I had put up over half of the investment and lost hella shit. Fucking prick

Saw him at home dizzo with his new family just a few months ago,didn't say anything by "Hey" [not my style] didn't get a response. I hope Karma puts it where the sun don't shine. I knew the tard for over ten years too. I was ragin'.....

Since then I have been gifted beans and managed a to grow a few of my own, so I haven't been back......yet! :)

Good growing :peace:

Dang man srry to hear about that. Sounds like a lot of money lost. Lol I have no idea what I'd do with a barn full of weed. That sounds like a crazy big grow.

^ It was a co-op specifically for vets. I am vet of both wars in the last 10 godawful years and just wanted to do my part. Being burned is almost par for the course it seems in this line-up.

Legalize!

i hear you man, I'm also a vet. That's pretty cool that you had a co-op grow for vets. I hope you have good luck in starting everything up again and getting where you want to be.

Very nice plants man. Nirvana is also a favorite of mine, though i've never grown ICE.
Black Skull Seeds is also a great "budget" seed company. Check them out !
