Mmmmick said:
Hi Scooby I'm interested in the performance of those designs. I'm using 90w UFO and this technology is beginning to make some real advancments in my opinion. I hope Hydro Grow gets these leds tweaked to perfection.

dunno much about strains but I'd go with 2 Blackberry for sure, purely for the thc level, can't advise on ease of growing.

SHould be a fun grow to watch, good luck.

Thanks man. I have 2 Blackberry, 1 Wonder Woman, 1 LA Woman and 1 random bag seed sprouted. I'm hoping i can clone the LA Woman. It's supposed to be a high yield, quick flower strain and that was my only seed of it.

Yes 60 degree model. I have it 12" above the plant tops right now. I took 2 pics to show it better.

Hey Scooby

Looking forward to watching this grow,, thanks for posting.

also i grow wonderwoamn (Linda) and she is a monster plant and very hardy.

left mine in veg to long (waiting for tents) and now i have real height probs, ww has passed the light and hitting the roof of my tent, she is about 5 foot in height, no light on top does not seem to be a prob for her, great palnt.

As you use a tent to grow, do you find a lot of condensation building up on the walls of your tent during dark period.

Thanks and Good luck with grow.

Hey Hydro thank for tuning in. The picture I saw of Wonder Woman was what made me get those seeds. Does everyone name their first plant of this strain Linda? I was disappointed I only got 1 of 2 seeds to sprout. Good news was there was an extra seed in that package, so nothing lost. I've been giving serious thought to keeping my veg time for this to as little as possible. Both to keep heights down and cause I'm dry and tired of getting ripped off. I'm not sure how long that is yet. I'd like to get a clone of the LA strand as well for a mom. It's supposed to be a good yielder with a very short flower time (think 56 days or so) and only had the one freebie seed.

I haven't had the lights off in the tent yet, and also my rh is pretty steady at 40%-43% so i don't think I'll have a condensation problem. My tent is also not the same quality as most of my other items. I cheaped out on it and regret it.

you should definalty just trim the head off the veggin plant to keep it shorter, just let it veg a week more.

There's really no way to rush a harvest. IMO your Not saving to much time by getting a plant that should harvest a bit early. 1 wrong move and you can slow down your plant just that little bit, a few days.

Also if you veg to little, you get a little plant...... Not to mention the 7 days you saved here kills the 2 months of flowering ahead.

The 7 days saved is like a week compared to the 2 months and more you have been waithing!

"you might only get 1 lil stick n bud!" You will smoke it up in no time, Not to mention drying/curing time.

Might as well let it grow wait the wait and win the game ya know!

:headbang:

scoobs we got da led's we gotta bush these things out or they could grow beyond the light! I did this once already. cut da head offf yarrrg!!!

If you want my opinion (cause I totally understand your situation), I would only do this with 1 of your girls. Pick the one that is the largest and throw her in the dark for 12 hours a day, a week or two before you begin the actual bloom cycle with the light. In the meanwhile, I would resort to topping once or twice, to keep the plants shorter, bush them out, and make sure you get a nice yield when the grow is complete. This way you'll get that bit of bud you're after since you're dry (which should last you until a full harvest), and then you'll have plenty to keep you satisfied until your next cycle. If you were to do it this way, I feel like you'd come out better in the end, and everyone watching will see a good demonstration of what the light is capable of. ;)

Glad you got your lights man. No worries, I'm not rushing anything to veg, but I'm not going to leave them in extra long either. I'm going to have to wind up topping the bigger 2 of 4 to try and keep the canopies at the same height. The general plan right now is to wait till the smallest of the best 4 is 12". I'm also going to transplant them into 5 gallon buckets first. It's a bit tough staying with a plan when you have no experience so we'll see what happens.
 
Just a few pictures to update. All girls are looking great. Wonder woman is starting to take off in the last 24 hours. Last bag seed sprouted too.
