Lol, well update! The new LED light came in today! I have installed, will post pics when she wakes up

 

[DapperDon]

Sounds great.

Here it is! Led light all up and running. Very impressed with how easy it is

What a difference with heat output holllllyyyyy!

Hopefully the plant likes it!

P.S Also found a pic of my first grow ever haha hydro, bag seed, 5gal bucket. Had absolutely no idea what I was doing, just winged it!

Are you planning on scrogging that lady? If no, you should consider it, especially with those LED lights. A nice even canopy will allow the weaker light of the LED to do more efficient work since it won't be trying to penetrate a canopy of leaves and buds.

I thought about it, problem I was considering was water changes and cleaning. Granted which would only be once or twice. I LST it and got it pretty even.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I decided to ScRog! I figured whyyyy not...I wanted to try it, have a pump to get all water out, and pump back in so that shouldnt be a problem. Heres how she came out Have it 10" above base of plant, already filled up nicely after tucking lol.

Looks great, you won't regret it!

Those squares look a little small, but it should be fine!

Thank you! I turned my light the long wsy also, more coverage, but the squares are 1.5 inches. Did a lot of research and found that was a good size

so looking at some scrogs online, I really only want to let the screen fill up around 70% before flower right? Or should I let it pretty much fill up and poke through the wholes

 

[RedBeardy5]

Wow those girls really perked up with the led. Once you switch to 12/12 those girls will stretch into the screen. That's why I repeat strains, after the first flower you will know how much they stretch and what not. Looking good though

Aren't LEDs better at penetrating the canopy than hps lights?

Ya they did! They love it, even after installing the scrog they turned up good! I'm gonna trim the lower leaves couple each day, prob veg for a little bit more let recover, then flip!

I feel like it's already filled up the screen quite a bit!

I do like the light penetration, and no heat issue! Of course the past two days it's been in ye 80s. Freak heat wabe

Are you in colorado? Because it was in the 90's in the springs here

Nope! I'm in maine, I run my lights during the day any way. Been in 40s at night. So I pump the fresh air from a window right next to room into it.

The air here is very clean and crisp! They love it

 

[Waterlab420]

Update! It's a girl!!! No not the plant my daughter born today!

Had my buddy check the plant, says its poking through nicely as soon as they all poke up in flipping!

 

[RedBeardy5]

Congrats! You will have your work cut out now lol.
