It's good you have a day spare to get the new lights dialled in be careful as so2178 said keep them high and let the plants adjust maybe dim them a bit to begin with as the plants might feel like they are being turbocharged with light and good luck with them I hope they bring you plenty of fat heavy nuggs, cheers
Ooh sweet new lights, looks like a quantum board style setup. Would love to have a go at lights like these, sadly the exchange rate from dollars to my currency + import duties would make it not very cost effective. Had to build my own leds lights from cobs as it is. The controller for the light mixing looks great too

These lights are pretty bad ass.
I've been battling heat lately now instead of humidity . I think the humidity was alot worse . I think I need to calm down on the growing , i have alot on my plate and i think ill just stick with 2 grows instead. I did put up the 3rd tent for hang drying but im gonna take it down after . Here's a pic of the madness .
Here's a couple shots with the new lights on with VIEW mode and heres one without .
No need to take pics behind sunglasses anymore .

Wow that view mode is great. Those lights and control system are gonna bump it up big time. Two grows is a lot. Should keep that tent for drying your harvests.

Yea 3 grows is too much i think . It's not something i want taking over my life .plus I need to stay on the legal side lol .
So about an hour of full power , my plants starting curling up . Luckily im home today to observe . I had to dial it down from 60 red ,99 blue , 99 white -to - 39 red 60 blue 60 white . I know at full power they run at 1264 ppf or par so thats a huge difference between the Chinese lights .

Yea I may need to upgrade to an 8inch filter and fan . They have been good so far with the heat outside being at close to 90 degrees . Afternoons are usually worst because the sun bakes the side of my grow room .

Day 52
I've been increasing the power each day towards maximum output.
We're at roughly 75% today and will continue to increase it over the next few days .
I checked the trichomes today on the most mature plant and were about 70 percent cloudy 30 percent clear . I don't think they're ready to be flushed today . Im only going to flush the 3 most mature because they will finish first . The other 2 ( experimental plant and big bertha) still have white hairs coming out and they are growing super fast. They have about 3 weeks left id say .
The experiment has 4 or 5 huge colas coming out of it . It's such a nice plant . One of my best as far as colas and structure .
Here's a couple shots i took upon waking up .
This is what my most mature plants look like .
Overview
Experimental buds
Shes as far as a soda can

What a crazy morning .
A.c. leaked all over my floor again . Had to clean that up even before my cup of coffee , moved the tents out , emptied out the water in the ac and put everything back .
Then my extraction fan fell off the my carbon filter ...not once but twice . Luckily it didn't crush my plants or my light. It was dangling in my autos tent . I've had a shitty morning so far . I had to empty the autos tent twice just to hang the fan and filter back up .
Im glad im home to do this cause my girlfriend would have freaked out cause you can't hang those damn things by yourself .
