Nice setup, 4 oz plants are nice, looks like a low ball number but quality looks spectacular.

The Advanced DS XML 650 LED - A Review By Doc Bud

Quality is the only thing that's really important too me. If the lights can produce quality bud, they're worth investigating. If not, they're not worth having around.
These lights definitely deliver quality buds. I feel pretty confident that I could duplicate the yield of a 1000 watt HPS with one of these lights. I had 2 1000 watt HPS over this same tray for year, so I know what it can produce.

So, I'm told that a HPS (not super with added blue) running at 1000 watts only has 400 watts of PAR energy. So any 400 watt (from wall not like mars II 400 @ 175 watts) LED should be equal if all watts are PAR. I've been using xtrasun HPS due to crazy amount of blue, 2x Eye. I'm lacking red or mid 600 to 700 nm though on this bulb. But 600 + PAR watts will do what your seeing in your garden. Looks great. DE lights are also pushing more PAR watts then SE SHPS lamps. They stretch spectrum which pushes more watts under PAR zones. Overdriving your HPS will do same thing, I run 5% over on all bulbs.

Nice difference between the pictures on the 11th & these new ones Doc. The girls seem to love the kit & the Advanced lights.

Doc, on the GA/root ball (post #37): it's obvious that you've "scored" the root ball, but it looks like you cut a wedge from each side, rather than just a straight down-cut. Or, are the "sides" just separating from the cut?

The container had those shapes in it. The rootball is just mimicking the shape of the container.
Straight down cut with a razor blade, top to bottom 90 degrees from eachother.

Doc Bud, I wish you lived next door to act as a tutor. As a brown thumb gardener from way back, I shouldn't be allowed near a living plant. 
Those plants are truly beautiful. I didn't understand the term "frosty" until I saw photos like that.

Lot's of first time growers are getting results similar to mine. Some longtime growers are getting better results! You can do it too.
Make sure your environment is good, order a kit, cook some soil and join the fun!

As with the last run of Advanced LED's, where I used the "400's....the plants are coming on very strong in the latter half of bloom. Unusually strong!
I'm very impressed with the strength of the stems and branches. This is going to be a heavy harvest.

So frosty no need for AC!

the plants look bulkier, thicker, bigger than your usual..
