LED Ahoy!

So 250w HPS isn't going to cut it? That was my assumption but thought it might be sufficient next to the LEDs.

You could easily handle that kind of scrog with 8 plants using 300w LED and an added 400w HPS or MH. I'd go the MH route, personally.

would this be the same with led an a t5 combo? meaning leave the 6000k bulbs in or would switching to bloom 2700k be better? for bud i mean..

In my tests with T5 lighting I always got better results with the 5600-6500K bulbs in flower. Especially with all of the red coming from the LED panels, this would be an optimal choice. In a combination light system, even lower-tier LED units will be of great use as long as the other source is quality as well.

So we're right next to the end of week 8!

I crept up on them today with my scope, and there was more than enough amber vs milky for me to harvest. Nice and fat, too!

Time for a GRIP of pics!

The roots were especially trippy to observe

Very nice! :thumbsup: :rastasmoke:

Any estimate on the dry weight from that channel?

very very nice:thumbsup::thumbsup:

what was ure little hydro you made? it looks like it worked well. maybe ill give that a shop for my next.

Looking at likely 2oz after all is said and done. I hope!

This is a specialized NFT channel made by my Australian partners. The rest of the system is a rigjob of rubbermaid bins and random hoses and splitters.

DRIED WEIGHT:

3g short of 2oz (the two tiny plants on the right side got smoked, that would've put me well over 2 oz in buds) plus 7.3g of straight sweet leaf.

I am quite happy with this. I'll drop to 8 plants per channel, and maybe get a system set up to have a new channel going every week. I'd like to get a QP every two weeks instead of two ounces.

I had to harvest a couple of days early, as I found spidermites all over the damned place. Despite having two brand-new Hot Shot no-pest strips plus using water+soap+alcohol spray, they managed to force me to wipe out one channel. The final remaining channel is not too far into flowering, yet, so I've dropped a dose of alcohol spray and floramite spray on it, in that order.

But I think I am going to get a larger yield from this channel versus the prior one. I'm estimating maybe 2.5 ounces.
