Yeah, there are a lot of people that intentionally grow low yielding strains that are potent just for that reason alone. That's also why some of those strains are so expensive in dispensaries. That's the beauty of growing, there is no one "right way" to do it and there are plenty of ways to maximize results depending on how much work people are willing to do or how much they're willing to spend. As I've said, repeatedly, there are pros and cons to virtually every growing decision.

Enough of the babble 
. Actually I always like a good debate. Anyhow heres some pics since its been a while since I updated them. My Autos under the Solarflare have gotten pretty dam big for 2.5 weeks since they popped outta the soil. With one Wappa particularly getting large. Its already showed its sex couple white pistals already so I expect it to start its rapid growth to be even bigger.
Right now I put all my autos in my main tent during the 12 hours of Light at night then move them back for the other 12 hours. Just started doing that.
My OG 18's are doing well buds are getting bigger everyday and nice frost all over.

Me too, I love to debate but some people seem to take it too personally. I'm going to go ahead and split that off to the New LED Users forum so it doesn't hijack your thread and we can continue the debate.
I really enjoy those top-down pictures and I finally put a finger on what they remind me of. There was an old toy in the 60's and 70's (maybe older) called a Spirograph. The symmetry kind of reminds me of that. Good times...good times.

I just looked up Spirograph on google and your right!
People take debates personally on the internet because of anonymity. Hence the useless trash on comments, youtube etc. Whats interesting is Google has finally had it with Youtube comments and soon is rolling out something dramatic to change it. Im sure you heard of World of Warcraft...there forums are heavily used with 11 million players and last year they tried to stop the foolishness of it by you posts showing your real name off your account. They were tired of the insults, the foolishness that never would happen in real life debate. Users revolted though and Blizzard backed off but it was nice while it lasted.

Spirograph was fun...back in the day. I'm not sure that it would be as fun today. I wonder if they ever made a computer version of it? Some of the designs we made were pure crap and some were actually nice.
I think people that take things personally on the Internet probably take things personally in real life too. People will just register youtube with fake names, with WoW they had to pay so they had real names. I've said for 20 years that if they changed IP addresses to GPS coordinates that the Internet would get a lot more polite and SPAM would virtually disappear but that, too, would be abused and used to stalk people. Just like how people were more polite in the "old west" because everyone was armed so most people were careful how they spoke to others. That wasn't a perfect system either but that's gone now. I'm not sure that I'd like an Internet without anonymity; "big brother" and too many lawyers would certainly take advantage of a system without it. I'm not an anarchist but I don't want to be constantly monitored, easily, either. YMMV...

Its a shame that our politicians who seem to believe that they have their finger on the pulse of the founders do not recall this quote. Im not a big founder nut but I hate when they bring them up then with the same hand do something utterly different.

They do the same thing with religion, invoking the name of God or Jesus while misconstruing what They are really about but if you thought that people take scientific debates too personally, we should probably be avoiding religion and politics all together. 
Let's change the subject back to your plants and lights. So...what are your impressions on the CLW SF now that you've had it a little while?

I think its a good little light. Dunno what its equal to perhaps a 250-400w HPS probably in the middle. Ive had no issues great growth....early on I had it really low like 6 inches and plants got kinda faded but 12 inches no problemo.
Its kinda pricey I will admit but compared to other LEDs if you do the break down its a value for its power.
Of the 4 plants...the Fruit is chugging along...its a 1st generation Auto flower so dont expect alot. Was a free seed and wanted to try it in a tiny container. On autoflower.net I am a member and they have a 32 oz or less competition! Lets home I win.
Of the two Wappas there starting to show sex one is massively bigger then the other. The Dutch Passion Think Different is growing nicely...its a longer grow time plant.
Both the Wappa and Think Different are the new generation "Super Autos". Higher yielders. Hard to find any Wappa Auto grows but Think Different some have been getting 300-400g dry off it. Dutch Passion has stated that there seems to be 2 types of Think Different that have been coming out since its inception this summer. A 100 day variety that massively yields and the 60 day variety which is really good yields.
Do a google search for Think Different grows and youll see some very large ones.
