I could be wrong as I have no prior led experience so I'm learning as I go & I rely heavily on ttystikk as he is pretty sharp she is looking more advanced than I first thought the spray turned the hair brown & she resumed throwing white ones but now they're turning & I haven't sprayed cause no mold returned after adding the second fan also the calyxs are swelling in about 2 weeks I'm gonna pull out the loupe I feel I'm that closeView attachment 3840411
Thats a lot of colas, how many times did you top?

I topped quite a few times & she ended up being a strain that produced a lot of limbs this time I'm gonna top a bit less & see if I can get larger buds it seemed like I was trimming small stuff for days also gonna be more aggressive at pruning off non productive bottom growth as I had a lot of popcorn

things are looking pretty good this morning they have greened up considerably & I see new growth which has nice color as well soon it will be time to start training my canopy to the lights footprint I think I'm gonna try raising the light a bit in an effort to promote a little stretch like I'm getting on the headband that is lower & giving me more stretch than it did before IMG_0466.JPG IMG_0465.JPGIMG_0464.JPG

that ought to blow the windshield out what does it take do drive something like that ? possibly a nuclear power plant! lol
I have some bigger more powerful woofers, but thats the one that I think sounds the cleanest.
I have a 4KW Rms amp to power car subs.
I have 2KW Rms amp in my HT to power the 18" sub and several 600-100 watt amps as well to run mains speakers etc...

I don't think I'm gonna upon closer inspection my branches are growing good it's just the fan leaves are hiding the growth the headband that I almost killed off are turning around I never liked the way algae grows on the rock wool blocks & I used to cover the tops of the blocks but it never seemed to spread anywhere except where the light hit so I just leave it alone I trimmed them back & I'll have plenty of clones when I'm ready I'm gonna setup a place for my t-5 but for now they're enjoying the cobs I used to veg in r/w blocks while my stuff in the room finished I just cloned what I had growing & if all looked good a few days later I would flip the stuff I had in the room & as soon as the clones rooted I would advance them into the blocks I always took way more clones than I needed then picked the very best looking ones & trade the others off spring time the demand for babies is higher IMG_0467.JPG

yeah like about 6 or 8 of my grow lights now if we could combine the 2 I always wanted tunes for my plants
Heard plants like sounds, no ears, but they feel vibrations likely.
Not to mention I have see where hippies have connected equipment and let the plants sing through speakers

I think the airflow aound the base is a good idea.

Gonna be a bad storm there?
We have weather warnings coming up here as well.

Yeah I think 2 or 3 x is plenty
My current run I didnt top or crop or tie anything. Hopefully i dont get a bunch of larf on the bottoms. My tents are packed so bottoms might not be getting the light needed, and the Dogs are going wide and tall!!!

yeah & a lot of those small buds can be hard to trim that being said the small buds saved my ass this last grow right now my biggest enemy is the cold the electric heater added about $35.00 to my power bill last month the led just don't generate much heat I'm having to overlap heat & light timers to keep temps up to par I have a spare room in the house downstairs it would be nice to have 2 grow tents downstairs as the house is split level & temps down there are manageable especially in summer ac isn't really needed but the wife would have a cow
