rbt wrote:I have a strange question by looking at my plants I estimated a few weeks till harvest so I was trimming back the fan leaves then 3 days later I see these new little leaves sprouting right out of the middle of the bud/flower, as well I have one of the plant that was a little retarded growth from the others suddenly this plant woke up and just started a growth spurt and just begun flower intently. added Canna Boost was all. I wonder if it would be smart to take out the plants that are ready hand flush them for a few days then lets the other 2 keep going ?
I have a hard time acquiring clones in my retirement community so it looks like I am committed to what I have at hand very old seeds but they came up and don't know if they are viable for quality. Here is also a concern I am thinking bout another grow but the footprints from these LED's only seem to be dimensionally square as to accommodate the foot print of the light. so these 2x3 3x5 etc tent really get a better from the linear footprint from the HPS/HID. If I plan to do this I don't think I will go LED again just a little bad taste from marketing. The old adage once BURNT really why would I purchase a 200w veg light when any T% light for $50.00 or less so the Idea here is now get a $800.00 400w light and what let this 200w sit ? They need a trade up program I mean with 50,000 hours of life what's the amortized loss of its life and or market change with just 1 grow?

you could pick up a LED green headlamp that you can wear during the dark cycle if you do have to do something with your plants when lights are off.

I am in the process of acquiring clones but tracing the strain for my needs and I would like to make sue the clone are ready for flower not much of a veg state if any do you have any suggestions?
I would like a strong THC & CBN as this has worked the best for extreme nerve damage if the THC degrades some all the better for me. I have some "Lemon Thai Kush" that degraded badly that helps.
I am thinking of bettering my grow and incorporating what I have in the expansion. I am considering of using this closet with a up too 2/3 weeks of flower with a cloth/perforated pot in the flow table then transferring into a 2'x4'x7' finish room with a mini chiller running 1 1/4" out -- 1' in VAV boxes between 2-1000 w enclosed that water exchange itself with make CO2 with a carb & Champagne yeast. that would make it almost free
I guess is it really worth the extra cost to go LED with a new grow room 2 400watts = $1650.00
2 800watts = $2700.00
2 100-watt HPS with ballast and complete commercial mini water chiller misc matl's =$1300.00 With this RO & CO2 would be almost free and their are controls ready that will manage all this with a keyboard
I am pondering that now I will report on the amount of my yield and the quality & quantity I have hit 500 views by the weekend another Christmas Present for me Thanks All who tuned in I hoped I helped with your grow and experience with growing it has been good for thanks SME and I will be going down the road of all old hippies into smoke and ash to which I came LOVE & THANKS ALL rbt

SME< you misread him. his finish room will only be 8 sq ft (2x4x7)
you only need a 600 watter. that would give you 75w/sqft which is on the high end of optimal w/sqft. and 600 w is the most efficient of the HID's too. so it will save a bit of money compared to the 1000w. and they run a bit cooler too.
2 rooms is really a nice setup. fairly easy to do a perpetual grow.
