Phycho...........you rock it man!!!!!!!! :yes::yes:.........just out of curiosity...how many watts you got in that tent...actual watts I mean..

I have 4 bought panels and my DIY which is around 1100-1150W..depends which switches I have on in the DIY panel... I should have started with this many and my results now would have been closer to yours..:-(..........

None the less....Great to see you've got it dialed in nice and right!!

without the 1/2 power fixture its 1064 watts. I'm going to take that one out soon, just had it in there when it was over loaded. Thats 4 blackstar 240, 1 400w DS and 180 EF, both Advanced LED.

Phycotron.... Some of those tops look like they're 4" or more in diameter, is that right or is the camera making them look bigger? Either way, NICE!!!

They're pretty fat, I'll try and get some better photo's later when the lights come on. It take two hands to cup around the buds, one hand going around just over half.

Very impressive plants you've got under all those LEDs. Those main buds are just monsters. Keep up the good work.

chopping these at 9.5 weeks. I was going to go a little longer, but I stopped feeding them a little bit too long ago and the leaves are turning color close to the buds.

It took much longer than I had planned, but I finally have my garden setup the way I've wanted it. 6 plants in 5gallon of coco, autofeed via blumat. If these clones do anything like the seedling, then I'll be happy.

Notice how much more light is reflected under the 400DS compared to the blackstars. I've decided to keep them until they burn out. I'm leaving the 180 Extreme Flower out of this, and might end up trading it back to my bro for two 100w DS.

grapegod @ 14 days, I'll veg another two weeks or so before putting them into flower, about 1.5' tall.

I dig your set up-very pro and that's a mighty fine looking top there, Phycotron! I hope I can get mine to be close to that chunky at some point. I am guessing you have very good air circulation to not get bot with thick flowers like that, yeah?

bot? I like the grapegod because its got a good open structure that allows for good airflow. I also use tower fans, one or two depending on how much leaf mass is present. I've had past issues with PM when the plants were too bushy or too close together, but it seems to have gone away. I keep the exhaust fan on low 24/7 to keep the humidity in check.

Thanks for all the compliments. I have actually set up my 4x4 tent to take 4 more clones instead of throwing them out. I'm using the 180EF, that half broken fixture and a t5 HO 4x4 3000K. I was just going to toss them, then I realized that I have autopots that I wasn't using.

So it's LED blumat autogarden vs LED+T5 Autopot autogarden. The one's pictured above are not doing so well because I forgot to add nutrients to the initial wetting of the coco, and reuses some without letting it sit for a day in cannazym. They are just about to start feeding from the nutrient tank and should start to bounce back as soon as they get some nutrients.

Botrytis or in plain engrish, mold. I should know better than to shorten a weird name like that, sorry! I figured it was fairly common. No problems w/ PM to date, thankfully. I'll check your progress again soon, I am sure it will be a good grow!
