24? Oops, I counted wrong. So that'd be 120 watts from the Crees.
It also occurred to me that the panel itself is probably bigger than 2x2 anyway.

Spookies, I want what you're smoking. The Crees are only 10 watts each, and they don't run at full power, so I would guess 5 watts = 80 watts total. Not much, but they're far more efficient than the 3 watt monos, so probably more like 100 watts effectively.
(I have the 350XML.)
[Edit] So you could use it in a 2x2, run the Crees on full, and then add another 100 or so watts of blurple ...
LOL, yah, that's a no go.
I'm trying to picture a cartoon version of that tent, completely stuffed with light, bulging out of every possible stitch and zipper hole, with an atmosphere something like Death Valley.
Too ... much ... light.
See? It's possible.
Well that's closer than a 1000w HPS Anyway, I just have high quality low wattage LED lights. 3 15w lamps. I will soon upgrade them to 3 54watt LES lights. Because those lights are 60 euro's each and only use 24watts but they have a light intensity of 54 watts. I didn't even know that was possible but apperently they managed to make that light to lower the ampere to 0.75!
Well I've decided to go the paper-bag route. I've removed all the nugs from their stems and placed them in a brown paper bag to dry. They've been drying now for 7 days. The outsides of nugs are dry to the touch. I will eventually move them into a mason jar. There's still a bit of leafy smell like fresh cut grass but you smell the citrus , minty , sweet smell from the flowers.
.Live , love , grow.
Excellent harvest. Reps for thrill of first harvest. This was your first, wasn't it? 
I know, it's not like I haven't been talking about it non-stop or anything. I want the least amount of stress for the daughter, which probably means I'm going to let some dry out. 
They look perfect!
Those smells speak to a sweet terpene blend. The Carnival has a nice citrus snap to it and I find it very uplifting, to the point of spiritual. Geez, I love the stuff when it's fresh. I can't believe Graytail's still holding out.
It occurred to me this morning that I have a week to decide what I'm doing with all these plants before vacation.
Which leads me to my next post.
It's not like they carry any disease, or at least not one I'm aware of, that won't bake off in the decarb alone. 
I always jump the gun on that week's drying, but I hang mine in an open breezeway, and most of my nuggets aren't as beautifully dense as yours appear. When you get the chance to smoke that first bowl, think about sharing that with us somewhere on the forum. Then you'll always have the digital record to visit, and rekindle that warm and content feeling that's going to wash over you when you feel it kick in.

Congrats Sue. Well deserved. Can't think of a friendlier, more open and welcome journal to follow…
And have a great trip.
What a pleasant greeting to find when I returned to post. Now I feel extra special. 
to the joyful journal. Be forewarned, I'll be starting the next addition in about two weeks, but I'll let you know about that in advance. I see you chose to drop your 50th post here. You now have access to the PM system.
