Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi

Hey Everyone...

I wanted to post a few photos....Finally got a better camera so I will have much better high res images of my grow :) Now to just get used to all the cool features it has to offer :)

So I wanted to try out the camera and took some close ups of the girls... wow this camera gets much more detail up close :)


Day 37 of flowering!! Enjoy!

Geez I know it's early icemud, but your using 340-360 actual watts? You'll get over a pound from that? That's what it looks like in photos. Wow, brilliant. What's your early guess? What are you usually getting from this area? Peace

Hey Grizzwald... I am a surprised too... I was using 1000w of HID getting plants looking very similar, and now with just 360w I am getting results that are just as large in size, but way more frosty!!!


Here is a comparison of my 1000w HID setup, vs the 360w Intelligent Gro LED setup... both on day 34 of flowering. Looks like the buds are virtually the same size :)


1000w HID setup

360w Intelligent Gro setup....

I know these grow styles are slightly different, as well as the strains, but it shows that the 360w are packing on the buds just like the 1000w HID setup I had going...

Typically I can get anywhere from 1oz to 6oz per plant in my setup, average is about 2-3oz+ assuming all things go right with the soil and no lockouts occur. So with that being said, at a lowball number of 2oz per plant, that would give me 14oz this grow, close to a pound, but I am really trying hard to hit that 1lb mark, so we will see if its possible.. Either way growing 1lb or close to, with only 360w is awesome :) lets hope everything goes smooth from her on out :)

Hey Jaamzhow!!! Yeah they seem to really be swelling fast already for me and the calyx's are getting fat...and only at day 37!! wow... I can't wait to see where they will be in 1 more month :)

These lights are really impressing me! Great grow so far, Icemud. Love the nice pic's, too. :goodjob:

Thannks Shrike!!! These lights are impressing me as well, I honestly can't believe how nice my buds look with only 360w running my whole tent... amazing is a perfect word :) Thanks for stopping by Shrike!

You think a month, some of those look close to done, by the color (colour for our international friends).

I would say some of them are about 3 weeks out, some maybe longer, but I think they still have some swelling to do. I know a lot of the pistils/hairs turned amber after I hit them with a foliar spray about 1 week ago, I think it may have been a little on the hot side for their liking so I think they still have quite a bit of filling in to do still. Most of my grows have ran about 60 days on the minimum, and some of my OG's have run up to 100 days. :)

I will check the trichomes tomorrow :)

Whew! Just caught up. Great stuff Ice. More and more I'd like to try one of these lights.

You like the 18hr veg schedule or GLR better? I was having some mother plant issues under GLR, so switched my veg tent to 18/6, but now have another light for moms and clones. So I have the option to switch back to GLR...

Hey Tavosvo!!!! Glad to see ya man!! Yeah I used the 18/6 schedule with this grow, just to test the lights and do the company recommended schedule but I do love the GLR. I have had a couple strains give me issues with wanting to push out pistils under the GLR, only like 2 of 20 that loved it, but it seemed to be my blackberry kush and my ogiesel both wanting to flower after enlongated sessions under the GLR. Funny thing is they are both stubby, take forever to veg plants. Maybe they share some genetic lineage or something :)

I have to say man, these lights are rockin! Based on what I have experienced so far, I would highly recommend them. I'll have to get over to your journal to see how things have been going over there :)
 
Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi

What's really exciting is that you're getting these results and you haven't even started experimenting with the light schedule programming yet! I think that's where we're REALLY going to be amazed with what these lights can do, when growers start playing with the spectra and intensity and really dialing it in!
