1st LED grow...Auto & Photoperiod

Ok, So I got my first LED light in the mail the other day... It is a knockoff ebay light... nothernlietz 570watter...actual wattage is 380watt, 550mA drives, great cooling. 3 and 5 watt diodes... Everything on this light looks great...

I currently have three plants in my tent...
1) Sick plant my buddy gave me, starting to come back to life now, been about 2 weeks... (EL Aquimista)
2) Largest plant is (Afghan Kush/Yumbolt) Day 20
3) Middle plant is (Northern Light/Big Bud Automatic) Day 20

My plants get nutes every other watering... right now they are getting silica blast, fox farm grow, and occasionally calmag...
pH stays around 5.9 to 6.3
grown in soil... Sun&Shade, similia to Pro-Mix...

Not going to be flipping this over to flowering until after the summer stuff has been prepped, so gonna be vegging for a couple of months...
Mostly doing journal to watch the autoflower and how she does, and to show off this new LED light, (cost $430)

Nothing wrong with a ebay chinese LED... I have a 3 600W I paid $500 a piece for... I am only using one at the moment... What is your light schedule? the best autos will flower in 24/7... but some require a little bit of darkness, just depends on the quality of the breeder if you know what I mean... You'll prolly see about 70-90 days from seed to harvesting the NLxBB... Have you grown before?

Yeah. I mean, there are a lot of junk ebay leds out there, but yeah every once and a while you can find a decent one at a good price...
Light schedule is 24/0
I figured it was around 90 days... So far I'm in like day 25 give or take a day and haven't even shown sex yet, so I hope she gets pretty big.
I have grown before, but not with LED...and a few auto's but with no luck...
Haven't had a whole lot of success cause I'm just starting out and trying to set-up all my "good practices"...
Learned a lot so far...just gotta get a tighter system
I have had a lot more success with growing outdoors than indoors...6lbs from 15 plants last year
Indoor harvest has been around 15 grams per plant with the SOG I was running...
Got 38grams off of a Blue Dream plant vegged for 1 month...
I'm hoping to get a half pound out of what I got it there now...

What lights did you end up getting 509Zman420, do you have a link that I could go check them out with?

600 Watt LED these are the lights I have... I purchased a 150 watt from them first to try their tech... had a Lemon Kush produce 1.5 oz... the light worked better than I thought so I took the dive... now I have 3 under the 600 in hydro veggin for 5 weeks, but they are not Lemon Kush they are Bubbleicious

Day 28

Ok, here are some new pics of the grow...
I'm only going to include pics of the two good plants, cause although the other is coming back, it looks pretty crappy...
Anyway, I've noticed I have some sort of deficiency going on in these two plants...
I thought that it was calcium or magnesium deficient, so I have begun to add cal-mag (see-cal...sea-mag)

The question that I want to ask is... Is it possible to overdo it on the cal-mag?
I have given them cal-mag once (two nights ago), only gave it at 2.5ml per gallon (half strength)...
Is this enough or do I need to hit them really heavy?

The one on the Left is the Photoperiod plant (afghan kush/yumbolt)
The one on the right is the Auto (northern light/big bug automatic)

I know that they are a little over-watered at the moment...I tried to bring them back real quick by adding another 1/2 gallon with cal-mag in it to stop the yellowing, but didn't fix the problem...
Any ideas?

You ever figure this out?
