What's good Woody? It's been a minute since I've been been on 420. Too many journals to keep up with then I overload my mind and need a break. Anyways, back on now and your grow looks as awesome as always. I love that White Widow, just looking at it makes me crave chocolate chip mint ice cream.
IDK what kind of LEDs you got, but I made the same leap about 2 months ago and built me 2 of those DIY COB fixtures to swap out my 600w HIDs I was using, just so I could beat the heat. I got so much more than I bargained for with these lights. They are full spectrum which isn't possible with 600w HID, I reduced room temps by about 15º and despite ordering the most powerful driver from the site, they still use only 60% of the wall watts my HIDs used, so I'm getting way more light per watts. I notice just as much light penetration as with the HID, the buds fill out more and seem to finish quicker too. Also, they grow thicker branches and I also observe more trics. In the pics is an OG Kush in week 1 after transition. In about an hour or so, her sister is nearing the end of week 8 and I can show you the penetration and closeup of the lower buds for visual reference if you want.
Overall though, I love these lights! 6x - Vero29 3000k(80CRI)D driven by a dimmable Meanwell HLG-480H-C2100B. IDK if RapidLED is a sponsor, so I don't want to post a link, but you can find them easy if you want. I built my own frame to save $$$ and still the build was over $500 per fixture.

Cool. Here's the Kush closing up week 8. I think the foxtails are a result of me leaving the COBs too bright. I'm still feeling out the sweet spot, but generally, it's near 60% duty cycle. For these pics, the light is about 70%-75% power. I'm liking the under buds, the ones that the HPS would reach, but the 2000k spectrum wouldn't have developed so well. I see a brighter vibrant lime green bud tissue, most matured pistils and a fuck ton of trics.
The one of an empty res is for one of my inventions that converted me Active Aqua recirc pump into a badass little sump pump that is able to empty my res down to just a few ounce. If anybody's got a 3D printer, PM me for the STL file.
Edit - the fixture is about 18" above the canopy excluding long branches. The canopy is about 2' thick

Well got the camera up and working. Now to figure out what does what. yea it runs thru the phone and the laptop, And I can talk thru the speaker or have it blast the siren. They got bells, buzzer and even dogs barking on the siren mode. Miss J has it kind of figured out. I am looking out back on another screen right now....

Thats the veiw from the camera. It can be adjusted alot wider angle if needed. It has sound and the ability to talk thru it.
Now you need a big ass dog that doesn't tolerate strangers and your all set!
You mean 2 big ass dogs....they like to hunt in pairs

I well most of my life raised beagles. My neighbors when I had some, loved me... Them girls get to baying. But I love to hunt small game and there is nothing like the sounds of a pack of dogs on the track. And I almost always had one decent coon dog. This old Black and Tan. That has to be one of the most fun hunts around. Coon hunting. Use to drive late night to a bridge over a small creek out in the sticks, go throw the tailgate down and cut acouple dogs loose. Then break out a jug and sit your ass down on the gate and listen. After awhile you can tell what the dogs doing,, if he tracking or if he got something treed. Grab the 22 and hike on it, find the dog, look up in the tree and see what he treed. Hopfully its a coon and bust him between the eyes, and takem down to the skinners and they use to pay up to 75$ for a good cold weather coon. On good nights we might get 3-4,, and a hella buzz.
But I have had my share of larger guard dogs. They were mostly partners. But as a kid I had acouple german shepherd. Now I got a half rat/half mini pincher. The dog was kind of dumped on us and now he's grown into a real buthead.......

Nobody coon hunts around here anymore. The population is way out of hand. Them suckers are always trying to get into my chicken coop. I had to build it like fort Knox
Yea prices have dropped to where it won't pay to feed the hounds, only thing worth hunting are coyote at $30-$35 each.

When I was a youngster we did all kinds of things to make acouple extra bucks. from coon hunts to trotline fishing from growing some herbs, to making some moonshine. I'd imagine they love them eggs...... Fur market isn't what it use to be, sounds like.
Fast update. My lazy ass took two plants out of the flower room for pictures. These 2 plants were the same size when I flipped them. I can see a difference... The LED is atad shorter,, but the HPS is abit larger and abit further along?
LED 1600
HPS 1000
