Yes please more updates! I for one am really intregued over the growth that you have acheived with these lights. Close good branching like this = good lighting and good response and penetration. ( yes I said that) Anyone else heard anymore about photo response and spectral output of various makers? Comparisons by 3rd parties maybe. That would be cool to know. Very NICE!
I think PrGl that is exactly what I intend to do. Something really simple, DWC, bubbler, had great luck cloneing that way and a good LED set.
Looks like a possability.
The plant turned male and I pulled it. I had a 12" female in my flower room part way into flowering. I put her under 15 watts (a 4, 5, & 6w white LED) and harvested about 11 grams. I didn't post because I want to do a journal from start to finish.Quote:

Either way, white LED E27 30 degree spotlights are the way to go for early veg for sure - outperforming all other methods for small grows; even my component red and blue LEDs. They are cheap and powerful enough to put one over each plant for up to 3 weeks, though switching to a 5 or 6 watter after week two is recommended. Or one could just start with a 6w as they only cost 50% more than a 3w.
NEW GROW:
The following are pictures of Jack at about 3 - 4 weeks. I call it Jack because I planted two seeds and he is giant compared to the other (Jill) and the largest is usually a male. No sex yet, though.The first two are under 12 watts of LED; 2 x 6W warm white LED and 1 X 4W red.

He was topped once. Added one more 6W white and switched to flowering. He is about 14" * 14". Notice how healthy he is with no fan, no pump, no pH balance, no PPM meter, low humidity, extremely hard tap water - and what others will tell you is too little light. Can I do anything more wrong? I doubt it, but IT'S A FUCKING WEED, PEOPLE!

Notice the 4 bolts near the top. That is a support for my center bucket (they are tapered). This is to be my first ever three bucket grow just for you guys to see if I can go start to finish. The bottom bucket has a 2 quart pot full or lava rock sitting in a 3" passive pool of generic hydro nutes. The center bucket has the bottom cut out and is just an empty tube lined with Reflectix. The top is the bucket lamp with the 4 LEDs.
He is already getting way too wide for the bucket so that I have to keep unfurling the leaves upward, but we shall see how far we can go. I may use this experiment to design a professional grow cabinet. It will probably be 18" * 18" * 36" as compared to my 11" * 11" * 30" funky bucket grow.
That is runty Jill in the attachment. She is in a 5 gallon DWC and her roots still have yet to hit the reservoir. She is maybe 5" tall. Very weak from birth. Normally I would have pulled her, but this is my last grow of the season so am keeping her alive for now.
Jack is starting to show sex. Should know for sure very soon. Grew 3 more inches in just the last few days.
The buckets are a bit too narrow. I may do a tutorial on a 50 gallon RubberMaid trash can grow as that would be the perfect size for a single plant for those without a dedicated space.
I know it may seem like you are talking to yourself, but you are not. Some of us are silently watching.
So much for my hunch. Jack is henceforth to be know as Jacqueline. :o She might get too big to finish in the triple bucket and may have to go to the normal flower room.
Jill is still too tiny to be put into flower, but finally has feeler roots hitting the rez.
let me no hw that goes it i think um try that i can do that in my computer pc since it will be my first time trying to grow indoor.
