Here are some pictures. I have pulled 3 and I for sure have 3 females, 2 are yet to be decided but it looks good, So short and stout are the 2 I can't sex yet. So I wanted to share my information on nutrient levels, I followed flower nutrient level and its to strong every time it burns the hell out of them the next day. There I sit draining nutrients to adjust it back down. It does so much better following the herb nutrient levels seems to be just right. There can be a fine line you need to walk.
Also I'm not using any Co2 with this grow, which will lessen the yield by 25%.

Sorry for the delay in updating. Ok heres where things are now, 5 of 8 are female and budding. I havent been putting in my time in the grow box, work work work, just to barely break even.
Well i over did the nutrients and burned the hell out of 2 plants. I'm using puravida nutrients and they say to let the pH float between 5.4 and 7.0 and things look great. sticking with that for my 400hps i started.
So trial and error sucks, I flushed them and they are coming back but i believe 1 plant is in trouble, the back right plant is a hurtin unit.
The 2 plant on the left are short and thick, good bud starting right on top.......nice.
So far i like the led but it would be nice if it was shape like on octagon on the face so there was more angle to the light refelection. but fast growth for sure...

Some disappointment, I live in the freakin tundra and it has gotten real cold here for way to long and it has finally dropped the temp inside the cabinet and the reservoir. Some death has creeped in. 2 are in rough shape and the other three look ok. i will try to get some recovery back, Damn...........
Still budding though.
Heres some pictures. failure or success i will post it to the end.
Still love the leds nice growth.

It's a budding up. 2 plants got trashed from the cold weather, But they are still budding. Those 2 look like hell and the other 3 are just fine.
Pictures again..............

Think I got it down Now. The second grow is looking much better. Great experience and the led is nice. and I worked out all the kinks with grow box so it's really consistent.
Looks like I will be harvesting in about 3 weeks at worst. Not as much as I was hoping for I think but not bad for a first time.
It smells divine right now!

Well the journey has been fun and i'm not done by any means.
Another cold snap and it finally toasted my 2 white widows on the right. To close to the window.
Things are cool with the other 3 and the 2 ww are still budding but man are the bare looking.
Here some pictures.

2 look bare of leaves but continue to bud. looking like the other 3 will become one big bud each.
Been a while so here are a few more pictures for your viewing pleasure.
Getting real happy, It smells yummy.
A little seedling I dropped in a while back is looking wild and has hairs starting.

Hey all you watchers out there. here's an update. Just getting buddier if that's a word. Still not ready yet, but soon. I will be flushing the plants this weekend for 14 days. That should put me at 10 weeks, Just starting to notice a very slight color change in trichomes. and the pistils are nice.
I have officially switched nutrients. Check out my 400 hps grow. WOW!! what a huge difference. So complete with the right nutrient balance.

m no pro in plants but what i learnt in school i can say that the leds are a bit weak as i can see elongation of seedlings trying to get more light

Not bad for a first grow and pushing the limits a little by doing a drip with led's
I think the led's are nice, Good growth.
Anyways here's the pictures from harvest and trim before drying.
