Thanks man! I love OG Kush! ITs the strain that represents my city! Anyways, feel free to check out my other grow in progress. It is FIRE OG kush and it is less than 3 weeks away from being harvested. It is only 1 plant in a SCROG growbox, but its looking pretty sexy. CHeck it out in my signature.

Ya you really should try it out man! I started with a LED growbox just as an experiment, and it did so well I decided to start a real grow! Lower electricity, no heat, no heat signatures, and the plants really flourish very well with LEDs. I use the flowering model lights from start to finish and that is wonderful! Under the LEDs the leaves are so dark green and healthy, no heat stress, no wind stress, etc. The light used by LEDs are supposed to be absorbed by the plants at 90% vs 10% HID. I will be running 1000 watts of LED starting tomorrow (when my light gets here), and the actual power draw is only 608 watts together! (304 watts each). Keep watching my grows and decide for yourself. I am using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, and I dont use nutes until the 3rd week of Veg. Then I start using the whole House and Garden lineup and I am very happy with it!

Sounds like a sweet method man! Those 500W draw 304? I never knew that, I just assumed 288 or something like that...Appreciate the info...

Flower Day 7: All of the ladies except one (18 inches) are all 26 inches tall and now showing pistils. Bushing out, so I had to space out the pots today. My 500 watter is arriving tomorrow, so we will have some massive lights going on soon. Grow Tent comes thursday so I can move the ladies into a bigger home.

 

[sleezy1]

Hoooolllly Shit! My second 500 watt Blackstar arrived today looking black and sexy. Set that sucker up and plugged in, voila! Can I just tell you how freaking bright both units are together? No foot print issues anymore! Woooah! This should grow some monsters with the intense light from these two! Now I gotta check on temperature issues with both of them in my 3.5 x 3.5 foot tent. My new grow tent should be arriving tomorrow and Ill have that setup as well. Lets see what 1000 watts of LED can do (actual power draw approx. 608 watts).

 

[Hudsonvalley82]

shit is hot....
convince me to buy another 500 with this grow...

 

[sleezy1]

Man, I just spent two hours putting together my new grow tent, taking down my old tent, moving my plants, running to bed bath and beyond to get two more fans.....im exhausted! Ill post some pics tomorrow.

 

[sleezy1]

So I didnt want to be lazy and let you guys down, so I took some pics of my new grow tent for yall. The new tent is 4x4 and it is was frustrating setting it up at first. The support beams for the lights felt kinda flimsy and I contemplated returning the tent. Then I figured out the support that kinda makes the lights more stable. I still like how my old grow tent had thick sturdy supports that I knew wasnt going anywhere. I do like how I can literally walk into my grow tent and work in there now. The lights don't seem as intense as my other grow tent, but it is also a bigger area. The height is nice addition, before I was maxed out at 6 feet, now I am at 6.5 feet which makes a big difference.

My tallest girl is now 31 inches tall with the rest hovering around 29-30 inches, except for the smallest girl who is now at 21 inches tall. I am beginning to see formation of the bud sites, and the girls have adapted well to their new home. Im about to head to home depot to get some stakes and ties for the girls. Might wait a few more days before I actually stake em. Ill take some more pics tonight without the lights on because the two 500s really wash out the picture quality with the intense lights.

 

[sleezy1]

Made some adjustment with the placement of the pots. Before I had them in 2 rows of 3 plants, but only the 2 plants in the middle were in the "sweet spot" of the LEDs. So now I made it so all 6 plants are all in the sweet spot with the LEDs perpendicular to the plants. Not only now do the plants have an equal share of the center of the lights, but now I have even more access to the fans and raising and lowering the lights. You can see the before and after of the placement in these pics. The girls have not been stretching as fast and have slowed down around the 31 inches mark. From my experience with OG, it should stop stretching in the next few days and start bulking up with flowers.

Jealous, those look delicious!

I am looking to help a buddy set up a new grow, and I was wondering what light(s) you would suggest for his 4' by 4' structure with 8 plants. He has heard all sorts of hype about leds and I was hoping to point him in the proper direction.

Thanks, sleezy!

Hi.. Nice grow.

Why does that company sell them units as 500w when they are only
304w??
