Lemon Sour Diesel (first grow)

[Contrabandit]

I started a lemon sour diesel clone under 2 90 watt l.e.d lights on August 10th. When I first got the clone it was 4 and a quarter inches tall, measured it this morning (august 15th) and it is now 6 and 3 8's inches tall. It seems to be thriving under the 2 90 watt l.e.d's which im glad as I know peoples opinions differ on the subject of these lights.Image - TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting :hippy: Image - TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting
imp: let me know what you think. any suggestions, anything.

They grow slow, but still grow. Put the lights 2-4 inches away from your plant tops. :thumbsup:

thanks for the advice. I was also wondering what I can expect to crop, I know it varies, from what I've heard people say 2 - 3 ounces, is this right?

Yield depends on what variables such as nutes, lumens, growing medium and pots, you grow under...... some seed sellers give a yield expected. Good Luck. Read the growing section of the forum and let 'er rip!! :smokin:

led is fine for veg. terrible for flower. too expensive for both.

by saying too expensive im taking it as the cost to buy the lights. i got a good deal 2-90 watt led lights for 285 with shipping, and they have a 10 year warranty. I guess that's kind of expensive, but you save money on your power consumption every month, and my plant seems to be going very well so far. but we will see.

I think you could have bought a 400w switchable, run it 6 on 6 off during veg (200 watt 24 hour average), using the same exact power as your LED running 24/7 but with better results. Then when it came time to flower, run 12/12 and be able to yield 8-16 ounces.


With 190 watts of LED youll have a longer veg time, and your yield probably won't be able to exceed 4 ounces. Depending on the diodes that unit uses it may be as low as 2 ounces.

The 400watt HID probably would have been less money too if you shopped around. You can get a complete 1K HPS system for under $400.



So that's why I said what I said.

4 ounces would be a decent yield on a single plant. I will be getting more clones in a weeks time, some sort of blueberry that looks good, and a white widow hopefully.

2 to 3 ounces for a 2 to 3 foot plant is normal. No one is getting a pund of an indoor plant. Be careful of a lot of the supposed experts out there. Haven't used led's yet but have used T5's and they work almost as good as hps.
There is some misinformation out there about led's and its manily to do with heat. They still generate a lot of heat so be sure and have good ventilation. Good Luck

havent noticed any excessive heat, we have a weather station that we bought just for this purpose and it displays the humidity and temperature, we keep the temperature between 74 - 76 degrees. Also, got a new clone under the led's today, a jack frost plant. anyone tried jack frost?:hippy:
