Good to see you fed. I'm thinking I'll harvest around Jan 31 - Feb 7... something around there.
I've run the flooded tubes many grows now. I ran one level for a grow, then added the second level, have probably run 6 or 7 rounds in the 2 level deal. I've always had a 1000w HPS in the middle, so the LED's is new to me. I like the cooler temps, but damn they take up a lot of room in my small space.
Here's a few shots of my Sour Kush grow. 1000w hps, diy cooltube, 10 plants, 20 oz, 7 sq. ft.
You would not believe the amount of material I have pulled off these plants. I would guess at least 60% of the plant material I've removed... this is just what's left!
I've removed this much maybe 5 or 6 times so far this grow:
Thanks for checking in everyone.

Thank you Sitka. I appreciate you saying so. Quite judicious with the posts.
Here's some shots after I worked on them yesterday. You can't really tell, but I pulled a whole load off them again. At least twice as much as the picture above. Mostly all from the 'inside' of the plant.... also some fan leaves that were just too eager to get at the light. I don't like pulling all the leaves, but they are just too crowded in there.
Oh yeah, and I pretty much cleared out the lowest 3-4" off the lower plants and scooted the lights up 3.5" (the width of a 2x4). The lights are actually hitting all the plants now, and it's not lighting any of the walls. That's usually my aim... no lighting the walls... they aren't that good to smoke.
We just had a baby 4 months ago (well wife did, I just held her leg)... ever since then I am just full of corny, stupid, dad jokes. It was an instantaneous change.

Congratulations! I am currently trying to knock my wife up, well not as I type this (although that would be awesome). We already got 2 girls but she is dying for a 3rd child. As for me.... well I love babies so I am good with 3 
Although, I got 10 babies of my own just popped 3 days ago. Tap root already through the bottom of the rockwool cubes. Super excited to watch em grow. Sadly any that are boys are destined for a short lifespan.

How cool. I love new grows. And I love babies! Me and my wife were on a long journey for this one. Lost a son at 21 weeks pregnant in 2010, then another early in 2011. Then we couldn't get pregnant for a long time, till last year. We tried fertility treatments to no avail. We decided we needed a little break and I took a trip with an online grower buddy (i had never met before) to Italy and onto Amsterdam for the cannabis cup. I guess that was the trick because when I got back we had a really fun weekend... and 9 months later a little girl. Or big girl I suppose. She's chunky.
I was going to ask what Sahd means, but I looked it up. WOOT... I've been a SAHD with no kids for years... I finally earned the Dad bit.
As for the plants they are starting to bud up more and the stretch has stopped thankfully. Smooth sailing from here on out (we hope).

Gettin there! Bet it is nice and stinky. Those plants are really all up on those LED's. Good thing the light doesn't have to penetrate far.
looking awesome man, how are you liking them lamps?
peace!

I really like them a lot. I've had no issues with them and temps have dropped through the floor. My electric bill is a lot better and I might get close to my biggest harvest in this space using only 450w for lights vs. 1000w.
The buds are nice and frosty and seem to be pretty dense, today is 6 weeks of 12/12 so still a little filling out to do. But they are anything but fluffy or airy. We will see what the finished product is like though. I'm thinking I'll start chopping at 8 weeks... so just 2 weeks left. WOOOT.
Thanks for checking things out.

Dude REAL nice! I love closets overflowing with weed! Reminds me of the old sitcom cliche when they open the kids closet and all the toys and clothes comes tumbling out!
Thanks a lot you guys. It's very much appreciated. I'm going to take some more pictures today. The smells are just lovely. And the resin is a trip. Not sure if it's a strain thing, or because my growing conditions were so different than I've ever had, but the crystals aren't sticky so much, they are just oily. It's like I put a drop of olive oil between my fingers when I touch a sugar leaf. Such a trip. I've felt that before on others' grows once or twice, but never mine.
Thanks again. Will update later today. 43 days 12/12. we're getting there.
