New LED Grower Ill start with my basic info. closet grower, mylar lining, (2) 35W 6500k cfl's and (2) 23W Red/Blue LED spotlights. soil = 60% miracle grow soil, 30% perlite and 10% sand. they are watered with room temp city water. I was running 20/4 lighting cycle. With the closet staying at 70 degrees F. and a small circulation fan. I also have nitrogen spikes in the soil. I only have 2 plants since this was my first grow and wanted to see if the LEDs did anything. I just forced flowering at 8 weeks. one is Rating: 5

Looking pretty! So how you liking those LED's. Pretty good performance for the small amount of electrical use, huh? I keep trying to tell people, it doesn't have to cost a lot to do this. I think you got started off right. Unless your growing large full sized plants, you really don't need HPS & MH. Save those big boys for the big plants with a lot of foliage to penetrate. Otherwise, your boosting your heat & electric for nothing.
---- There's a thread on here about drying & curing. Dutch Pimp put a link in his post that will tell you everything you need to know about it. Look, & when you find it, read it well & bookmark it for when you're ready. There's several threads on this, but you will know the one I mean when you find it.
----Its great to see a noob doing good & using common sense. Makes us old farts feel our advise is well delt & not going to waste! ~~~ PEACE! ~~~

Found that thread while skimming through my profile. "Harvest time? How do I dry/cure my cannabis the best way? I'm a noob & need help!" Go to post #2 by Dutch Pimp & click on "drying & curing your buds". Like I said, read well, then bookmark.
---- When you're almost there, someone will be glad to tell you how to know when you're ripe for harvest!
