Hey Joefarmer... I am also following your thread. About to kick off a grow with my procyon and cfls (identical lights to yours + 2 watts per bulb) though I will be using soil and dwarf/autoflowering plants. I meant to use my procyon for my last grow but my first procyon broke and by time I had received my new light, i ended up using an hps 250watt. So excited to go procyon all the way. Particularly with low height plants. With LEDs not penetrating as much as HPS.. I'm hoping I might edge past 2.5 ounces with a SOG (8 1-1.5 foot plants plants) of autoflowers. I've only ever seen pure procyon and home depot style CFLs grow 2.5 ounces so I would love to see what your end weight is and how your grow goes. One this that is worrying me a bit is speed though.. procyon grows tend to take forever to mature. Having said that every one of the grows I've seen uses the most inappropriate strains for leds. Not all strains are equal under LED in my opinion. With autoflower plants not following light changes... touch wood... I might be able to follow a pretty normal grow schedule + a week or so. Gonna be interesting and hopefully pop out some personal in time for Christmas !

Anyway... please keep your thread going I am v interested in. Thanks for all the posts! Cheers!

Oh and btw - if your hermi's balls are growing out of the actual bud as opposed to growing in clusters by itself... that's how you get feminised seeds. A good little tip for controlling the balls is to paint calamine lotion (the pink stuff you can get from most chemists) onto the male balls only. This will stop them opening and pollinating. It's better doing that than chopping the balls off since when you chop... many more grow back in their place. A little something I picked up during my last grow where I had hermis. Hope it helps! And yes hermi bud is fine to smoke. Mine was great!
