Progress.

Life is a learning experience...

Disclaimer:
I still use HID and I'm NOT an LED expert. All of my LED knowledge is from other parties or research so I can't say from first hand experience one way or another. I also run a medical grow consulting business in SoCal.

I'm pretty proud of myself! That was a steep learning curve!

Very tight internodes. They really like the LED lights.

Those look nice and healthy. I might have to throw my SS400 in my veg tent now...

Thanks for the pics! :mrgreen:

Thanks for the compliment! I take pride in what I do. You really should get the little ones in that tent. They will love it!

Are those all Hashplant seedlings? Which seed bank/source did they come from?

I'd like to hear more about Mandala seeds. Attitude seed bank has Mandala's Hashberry strain in stock, 10 seeds for $41, so I'm quite tempted!

Yes those are all hashplant. I got the seeds from Mandala seeds which are in Spain. These people really know what they are doing.
They breed strains that can tolerate a lot of heat and don't need a lot of nutrients. They really push organic growing which I think is the way to go. Go to their website and see for yourself. Their prices are really reasonable. I know lots of people here in BC who have had great results from their strains. It's important to support those that have a good philosophy.

I think LED (especially with the 5w diodes) is a very decent veg light. Costs aside, it's not until the plants get taller and coverage matters that HID takes the lead...
