Re: LED Grow Log under the Pro-Grow 260, 2xBlueCheese, 1xBigBang,1xChronic! Yummy !

Hey All !

So it's time for another update on my LED + CFL grow ! And things are looking fine fine fine !!!
Things are getting rather exciting now at the 67 days old marker and 24 days of official bloom. I could see some tiny hairs 33 days ago but it took the ladies a week or so to really kick off into bloom. I wait until I can clearly see the pistils in a few areas on the plants as their hormones are changing slowly, so when the blooming hormones are in full effect I call it bloom time.

My 4 x 65w, 2700k CFLs arrived today and the tent is so much brighter. The lamps themselves are surprisingly very large as you can see by the pictures. They are about 25cm long and 13cm wide. When I unzip my tent it's like opening up a pirates treasure chest now A golden glow shines out through the zips ! I installed them today and they will be running for another 6 - 8 weeks. I'm not sure if I want them running for too many weeks as 450w might be expensive over time. I don't want to raise any eye brows if you know what I mean. Luckily they are only on 12 hours per day. I think they are going to make a massive difference to the yield in the end. The tent is illuminated from top to bottom so the plants will be soaking it all up. I have increased the speed of my extractor fan as I think there will be a lot more heat in the tent now. It will be important to find the correct extractor speed to keep the temperature at a comfortable constant.

I hope you like the pictures. I think the bud growth will be much stronger with the new CFLs. Those CFLs and my Pro-Grow 260 will blow these plants away ! I can't wait to see the yield off these plants. I wonder would the light I am producing from 450w give better results than 450w of HPS ? Any idea on this guys and gals ? Would love to hear your opinions...

Take Care
