Day 14
Girls are growing strong top to bottom.
Raised the lights up a notch 2 days ago and they shot up even more after their feeding Thursday. Will try and keep the lights where they are so they stay close to this height.
Temps have been between 77 and 82 which is perfect.
Will start adding .5 gr of Jacks blossom booster to the 321 starting tmrw till harvest.

Day 21
Starting to build. I'm 95% sure these are all Golden Lemons. On my Vero Titan grow I thought I had 2 GL and 1 Underdog when it was the other way around meaning I trashed the Underdog mom by mistake and these clones all came from a GL. Always label your moms!
Not a bad thing as these are dank too, plus yield a bit better.

Haven't had to do much cleaning up except for taking some lower growth here and there but nothing like my normal routine.

Raised the 2 panels in the back up a notch to accommodate the taller girls in back. Everything looks happy.

I left a few side branches on them but they're growing towards the light and shouldn't really get in the way. I only left what I thought would produce and left stuff way down low on 2 or 3 of them to see how far the lights penetrate.
As stated before they are all clones that I flipped between 5.5-6.5" tall.
So far so good. They should be some swollen nuggets up and down the stalk in about 7 weeks.

Day 35

Edit: I forgot to mention I bumped up the watts to 240 from 200 on day 31.
The tallest plant in back is 26" from base of stem to top, the shortest is 21"
The tallest plant is within an inch of the board and shows no signs of stress. The shortest plant is 3" away from the board.

do you have bubble style optics on those, or is that the bare chip?
Wow, these look great - fantastic.
What's the density like of those flowers
do they risk burning your eyes the same as CMH? and no skin burn if working under them...
I'm new

What did this build cost you to put together
Thanks! No optics on these boards. They're just not needed in a reflective tent. So far the buds are rocking up like little grenades.
No suntan and much less strain on the eyes than my cobs but it's still a good idea to use sunglasses when working under any intense light.
This is essentially like four 90 watt kits from northergrowlights.com except all the boards are powered off a single driver.

Golden Lemons on beast mode!

I'm definitely digging this style of growing so far. It's like a single plant in a 10 gallon pot mainlined for 10 tops. As much as I can't wait to scrog under these boards I definitely want to do this sog style again when I find my Headbanger keeper of the 4 I got going now.
So far it seems on par with scrog for maximizing yield.

Only issue is plant count for those trying to stay compliant >:(
