LED Grow update no.21, February 10th, 2012

So it’s week 10.5 and the 2 remaining plants have exploded in growth. The best decision I could have made was making the bloom room less cluttered. Removing the weaker plants resulted in the last 2 strong plants producing very nice buds. The plants were competing too much for the light but now they could not be happier.

The LED light really has impressed me. It has the potential to create very nice buds and even the veg stage was shockingly good. Just by looking at these plants I can see that I have made a return on my investment. I saved over 60% on energy costs and I got some fine buds to boot. I have learned some valuable lessons in this grow. Firstly, do not let plants veg for more than 4 weeks under the Pro-Grow 260 as I grow in a short tent. The plants turned into monsters in a very short space of time. Never underestimate the veg power of the Pro-Grow ! Secondly, do not overcrowd the tent thinking you will get more bud as there are more plants. I learned this the hard way. I will keep the plants shorter (2 feet) in future and never put more than 4 plants in the tent. If I only grew a small amount of plants I would have a huge amount of bud right now. There is a lot on these plants but the overcrowding created a war for the light between the plants. Enjoy the pics and I will post some more pics of the harvest and I’ll give you some figures on the yield too. I’m sure it will be a very nice weight by the looks of things. I will be starting a new grow soon.
