Hey Tomthehippie man, what are you doing with that real computer? There is no room for a plant, man. Wuzzup with that? Did I tell you that I'm an olde hippy? :rasta:
yah I love hydroponic growing. its cleaner and grows your plants faster.
OK Man we both agree about DWC ~ it is a good and easy success grow technique. Throwing away the dirt and flushing the pots used to be a pain in the ass, eh. The first comparison grow that I saw of soil vs hydro sold me right away. Thank god at the time I had enough money to equip myself. Even had CO2. A 20 and a smaller tank. a handtruck to carry the tanks. I don't use it anymore. It was nice though. Its a kick to use it and see the plants immediate reaction. Speaking of reaction, the LR2 in HPS is doing smashingly well. Good sized buds. Very healthy and strong plant. Should provide as well as it can. :pimp: :rasta: :hippy:
thats grat. I can't wate to see the UR LR@ bud at the end.:D
Fotos to illustrate profuse bud sites on LR2 HPS 400w. age 1 month.
looking nice man!
Those look great! How many do you have? Can you clone a autoflowering strain? If not then do you have to keep males and make seeds?
Hey man! nah u cant clone an auto flowering strains cus its always in flower - 100% pointless :)
I just have to say what a super grow room you crafted Tom! It is a knock-out. Must be nice. Thank-You for visiting my humble thread. But I do love to grow! To me its a dream to have a room insted of a closet. Its better than naught. I enjoy the heck out of it.
Hey man! thanks! :D gotta say man your grow isnt half bad. Iv currently got a batch of low ryder 2 seeds on the go. if you've got any tips id love to know! :)
Auto Flowers Represent!
Has anyone tried the other AutoFlowering strains?
How are the led-lamps working there for you?
I´m thinking about buying some myself.
Funny you should ask. At this point I have reservation to my enthusiasm. They are missing a little something. I suspect that the Full Spectrum model now produced by the company may hit the mark better than all red & blue only. Its almost good. At this point. My 2 cents. Good Luck and Cheers.
The LED is an older plant but it is behind in production of buds. The HPS plant is doing normal rapid MJ growth.
Prolly b/c the LED plant is too busy at the club trying to pick up men(looks like a still photo taken at a nightclub, She's even showing her boobies look! jk :stoned:); instead of staying home being horny like your other plant!Quote:

I noticed the thermometer in the picture's reading 62 in the picture of the plant being grown under the LEDs. I'm assuming the HPS is keeping the other plant warmer. I know low temps can slow growth. Might help explain why the LED plant is growing slower. Just a thought.
looking nice man! real healthy! :)
Look again at the thermometer, I knew that sounded funny. Its 82. I wish it were that simple, I just don't know whats wrong. Thanks for trying though. Appreciate the effort.
Hello man, yeah I'm real happy about the HPS LowRyder2. It seems just a perfectly good plant. I deserve a break once in a while. eh. Good Luck to you too.
Some fotos. From today.
Textbook perfect plant specimen. I'm chuffed as the English say about their success. Gods of cannabis marijuana smile. Lots of budding up and down the branches.
it looks like the LED's are just lacking the wattige they need! the hps just kicks out so much more light! :)
If you think its lacking output, then SCROG would help. Or buying more LEDs would help, if Full-Spectrum. If a significant increase is needed, then a doubling of the lights would be the standard course. Anything less is petty. I'm in no financial position to double the units. Although they have increased their output so I don't need twice the units. But an increase no doubt.
is that one of those "grow bars" i seen in hightimes say it equals a 250 light?
disco bud
No these are LEDGrowlights.com and this is how its going. Those light bars are a little fraction of what I've got so they are pure rip.
Well the concensus of opinion which I am going along with; is that there is not enough horsepower in this LED kit I have collected here. Close but no cigar. At least double this is needed to produce decent amount of good bud. IMHO
The second foto is the 400w HPS LowRyder2 age almost two months. The little pubic hairs are turning brown already.
I would like to hear the answer as well. Those water leaf stems are wild long. Never seen them that long before .. I added leds red to my green box.. Perhaps you will see how my two grils are doing.. just about 3 weeks into 12/12:hippy:
for the number of LED lights you're using, it seems like you'd save money and get better results from just using an HPS light.
I´m really sad the led´s aren´t doing theyr job. seems like you have used a lot of money on the led´s as well.. thats to bad.
Anyone know of a successful led-growth?
Hello and I'm sorry to say that I do not have a scale. I must admit that the HPS LR2 looks a little better thanj it is in reality. Small lite little buds on a lot of the plant. The center is good. And a couple branches were pretty good, but it isn't a giant yielder. Decent for a quickie.
Your buds seem to be coming along well, eh. Fotos could be clearer. Did you put a magnifying glass in there?
An HPS is cheaper to buy but not to operate, that is expensive. Thats why i went to the LEDs, to avoid using more electricity.
It was partial success, I'd like to say kebab. We did get some dense buds. Just not enough. More intensity was needed.
it's good to see growers trying differant techniques. the very best of luck with all your growing dav, it's perfectly clear that you are enjoying it :thumbsup:
Hey man I just went on the link you left and good luck to you with your grow. I got a few grams of cleaned buds from my LED LowRyder2 grow. I'm glad that I did it although i wish the harvest were better. Do you think Paris Hilton smokes herb?
Here is my stash from the LED grow. No scale so I don't know the weight. A few grams is all. I guess.
cool man! il have to post some pics of my lr2 soon.. :)
Dav Zap, I'm dissapointed with the yield, but I can't say I'm surprised. I think the technology is not tweaked enough to get the right intensity overall. I commend you for taking the time and effort to do the experiment, though. I enjoyed watching. Good log. Thanks. Maybe someone else will use this info and come up with a better solution. I had thought about stringing the lights on the plant like a Christmas tree to get them close.
Let us know how it smokes. :smokin:
