41.1 grams for 180 watts, that sucks, was hoping you did better. Trying to decide if I should run 4 of the vipar C500s but I'm thinking it's not worth it now. I have a month to decide, maybe someone will have something good to say by then.
Ouch, that's pretty light for 4 plants, throw some more light in and give it a go again next round. Maybe throw your 250W hps in there for flowering, mix it up a bit...
Hi GroErr. I knew it was going to be a pretty crappy yield just by looking at them when I harvested and I haven't been disappointed. Still all things considered I have learned a few things on this grow about growing with LEDs, and I suppose all is not lost as I ended up with nearly one and a half ounces of top notch smoke. When I have the money I will get the vipar c500 which is rated at 500w (actual watts of 300) in a 96 x 5w LED array and see how much better that is. I wish I could post some pics but the picture uploader wont bloody let me. Until then I will just use these 300w LEDs for vegging and use my 250w HPS for flowering.
That's great, nothing wrong with some nice bud, looks good! Have 2 new strains running so I'm getting anxious to flip them, hoping this week sometime if I can get some work done on the room this weekend, have to stop sampling my last round of Blueberry, might get more work done
I thought you liked more the sativa leaning hybrids ? I always thought blueberry was more indica leaning ?That's great, nothing wrong with some nice bud, looks good!

There are different strains, the one I had was an old one that I had run outdoor and was more sativa than indica. I've noticed that as well, depending on where you look you'll find one or the other, and both called Blueberry. I just ordered some seeds of the indic a dominant to see how different it is. Ordered some PPP seeds as well, that one is sativa dominant. Going to grow a few strains and clone the one's I like better.
I had the same problem as the OP with a lack of heat, I put a standard oil filled heater in for the lights off period and a 9U CFL in for lights on heating. However I've had to take the CFL out now that Spring has Sprung and the ambient temperature is up a few degrees, the heater has the vital thermostat that the CFL doesn't have so I don't suddenly find the tent at 90+ degrees again!
Oho superb man, those are looking very good!
I think that the spectrum is the most important thing, so even if you have a LED that is not so good, you could upgrade the light just with adding a few other watts of light that this LED model is missing, here in this thread you can find some approved spectrum combinations

so maybe you add some IR light too, because I think that sinergy of spectrum is what counts, have to think (meditate) about this, but I cant without ganja, so in about three months maybe I get some insight hehe
The 1000w sells for £329, 510w true 5w Cob unit and I seriously want to try it!
