awesome grow sleezy! i picked up a 500w blackstar to add to my grow after seeing good results
i cant wait to start flowering and see the power of blackstar 500w added to my 240 and ufos.

Did you enjoy regurgitating what you learnt? How many farmers "flush" their crops. Flushing is a reult of dutch growers back in the day over fertilising and then having to create a flushing procedure to clean the plant. Feed the plant moderately and it will flourish without any need for cleaning at the end. Doh..
Well done anyway, growing with LED is not easy, only people who use it know that. You'll get it dialled in soon enough.
Hey Sleezy,
I have been talking over grow medium with my local shop and everyone seems to agree that a super light potting mix should be in order since LED's are giving off no heat for me. So I've decided on 2 parts organic soil, 1 part perlite and maybe 2 cups of pete moss in 2.5 gallon square planters. I may even bump the perlite up even more to say 50/50 and then I should be able to do daily waterings...any thoughts on that?

use this mix friend. you wont be disapointed. more waterings with h&g nutes is what you should be looking for.
great looking bud. nice work and nice save.
Ya you are right! I have been missing waterings with H&G nutes because of the FOX FARM. Ill look into that. Light warrior and Sunshine 4...perlite too?
I called my boy over telling him my buds were dry and I started curing today. I wanted him to come over and give me a smoke report, taste report, etc. We threw a "Harvest Party" and grilled up some steaks, corn, and rice and started the smoke report. First I asked him about what he thought about the smell. He opened up the mason jar and took a wiff and told me that it definitely smelled like some Dank OG. He was amazed the smell was so strong without even a cure. Next he gave me feedback on the smoothness of the buds. I didnt tell him I did not flush, he hit it and said that it was silky smooty with a smooth clean after taste. NExt I asked him about the presentation, not telling him about my PM issues. He examined the buds and said they were definitely dense, nice trichs, looked just like the buds he buys at the dispensary. So my friends, I got a unbiased report on my newly curing buds and it was in his words "AMAZING! you sure you grew this?" =) He proceeded to tell me over dinner that he was so stoned and I had some A grade OG Kush my friend! If only he knew about the issues I went thru and the 2 weeks more total it could have gone (1 week in veg, 1 week in flower). I am sure my next grow with these Blackstars will give me a better yield and another run of amazing dank!
I just wanted to comment about the flushing issue. I am using the House and Garden Nutrient lineup, and flushing with their products is only 2-3 days, due to Drip Clean. To be honest, I opened my tent and saw the PM coming back, freaked out and chopped without flushing. I was supposed to actually feed that morning, but instead I chopped. My buds are not harsh, has not given me any headaches, and the buds smell and smoke like $100 OG Kush without even a cure yet! My ash is not black, it is white at the end. Could it be the nutrients I am using and the feeding schedule I followed? Next grow I plan to do everything by the book with the 2-3 day flush and see if there is any noticeable difference.
Sleezy, you getting any veg lights from Gotham this time around? I ended up going with 2 - 240 veg lights and 1 240 / 1 500 flower. Thanks for making me a believerThanks man! I am pretty confident I am getting closer to getting things dialed in after 2 LED grows under my belt now! The next one will be killer!

Thanks for making me a believerOn the side note, what issues did you find when going with LED's this time around. I thought I read somewhere in the post that you found you had Mag / Calc issues?
