If you "rubbed" me atall it must have been very gentle.
I'm quite ticklish in spite of my scaly appearance.

How's the lamp work'n out for ya?

So far, so great!
Oh, BTW, it is possible to veg. with only 15 Watts.
Just not with 15 Watts of crap.
I did build an working array of 300. 10mm. 70 Candela ea.
leds last year. Just to see if it could be done.
But, I used 660nm. reds 455 nm. blues and they are lensed to concentrate the light to a 15-20 degree angle.
I actually still use it for cloning.
And I had some success with HGL's 14Watt kit. for veg.
I had to remove one of the Procyons to balance the heat load so I'm down to 435 watts right now. Gonna have to work on getting more air flow next grow. Still way cooler than my HPS rig. Had to install a carbon scrubber to remove the smell. My next door neighbor passed away last December and I have a new neighbor who might not be as friendly to my garden.

Sneak over the fence tonight and plant a few seeds in his yard.
That'll tell you if he's a "friendly".

I did that in Ca.
When the new neighbor came out and saw the new seedling he said,
"What ho!
A volunteer!"

We became good friends:joint1:

hope your present flowering is coming along nicely..

MP
The last flip sprouted pubic hair in 5 days and is flowering nicely.
About even with my girls in da sun!!!
Better that I had hoped, actually.

But, I'm not jumpin' on da woohoo wagon, just yet.
I have seen underlit plants thrive for a month jus' fine.
Then the lower limbs start dying when the buds swell.
And I'm not talkin' yer normal yellowing fan leaf.
They shrivel like an unwatered seedling.
Whole branches just up and die.

That's why I upped the power and switched to 660nm.
V-shell-c in about 8 more weeks.

Then, if bragging is in order...

I'm watching your progress with great interest.

Regards,
Weeze
