well to be honest i'm not sure if its the leds giving me all this resin or my new nute formula? or maybe both?

Based on my LED experience. I would say it's more the LED's giving the extra trich production.. It tells me that the LED light has a good amount of 660nm in it.. That's a good thing..

but yes so far i am impressed with these leds at this point, i really want to see how this light makes them fatten up latter on?

Yep, how big and fat the flowers are in the end will tell the real story.. But of course were talking soil fat and not HYDRO fat..

Ya I here ya bro.. But me personally even with using sunshine mix #4 in my garden I still can't get my buds as fat as I can in my hydro garden.. Hydro is how most LED growers are getting 1g watt.. Don't ya think?
 
re: GLH 600W LED Grow

dont get me wrong i am not saying soil is better then hydro, but i know you can still get some huge buds of of soil. ive done it many times. IMO its just too hard to me to run hydro without all the chillers and extra stuff, plus soil is allot more forgiving and laid back sometimes.

either way i am gonna stick to my SS#4 because it always treats me good and really helps me in the summer heat. i just dont think the yields are a crazy difference between hydro and soil if both have good growers, ive seen soil grows hit 1gpw lots of times.

this is just from what i have seen, ive never done hydro. ive always wanted to give DWC or Ebb and flow a try, but it would just cost me allot more money to run chillers and stuff to keep the heat down where i live.

Because spreading them around doesn't work as well maybe...the smaller wattage ones don't seem to impress the ave. grower.

the smaller ones dont work allot of times because everyone is trying to grow 3-4 plants with 180w, i think u need at least 180w per plant to get good results. with multiple 180's you would get a better blend of the spectrum hitting all the nodes. lot better blending this way IMO. u cant compare the HGL light to this because they use 60 degree witch dont blend as good because its more straight down penetration. where 90 degree or 120 degree with blend real nice

No doubt my friend, all good points and I completely agree. I also like the soil flavor of most strains better.. If it's not broken don't fix it..

But of the few strains I've grown. I can without a doubt say that in my garden the hydro buds are bigger and the end weight is more also.. Yes like you said hydro is more work..

I think you should try LED and hydro.. Put together a bubbler. See if what I'm saying is true in your garden also.. I think you will be surprised..

i do plan on it, but i already missed my window, ill have to wait until it cools down again, when i am not fighting crazy heat.
 
re: GLH 600W LED Grow

I'm here late, but I'm here to stay for the remainder of the grow. Those are some amazing plants man, sweet grow. Peace and good karma.

That's just about where they lose me brother at 15 plants/ 1000w of HID for 2 p's...LED\s can't compete...I bet 2 of those panels in that tent would be supersweet though...maybe mike can cut you a deal on another one to showcase it some more. You might get 3 or four times the harvest,,,,
 
25 days flowering.

i had some free time so i thought i would give you guys a sneak peek. today is 25days of flowering, ill post more pics on sat.

Very nice Irish.

If those long colas fill-in, which they look like they're gonna do since you got plenty of time left, they're gonna be big.

you're doing a great job!

yes sir i am praying they fill in because they will indeed be some big colas for sure. and that strain is known for having very little leaves and pure buds. plus its gonna be some really dank dank it is already just covered in resin. we all know jack here is good and G13 is good so a cross between the 2 should be killer.
keep ur fingers crossed for me that they fill in.

thanks for the good word brother.:bongrip:

Those buds look like how mine did at that innocent age. These LEDs are pretty bad ass, ill be the first to admit it..:bravo:

Great job Irish

yes these lights do kick ass so far, its hard because i dont want to get my hopes up because ive been let down so many times with past led grows it made me not a believer with very little hope. but i will admit this light is kicking @ss and i am impressed. if these lights do work out to be good grow lights, then next round i will run 1000W of leds and knock out a real high powered led grow. we will see how this turns out first?
