I chopped my babies down yesterday. White widow flowered to 64 Days.

Here are a few pics from harvest:

Here are 6 of the 9 girls chopped and laying down for the night, I got almost done then had to go out for a going away party.

From underneath

I've got 4 rows of 36in bamboo poles the buds are drying on.

How many plants were under each 126W? That's a mighty nice job you did there for your first time ever growing with LED's. I hope your grow will inspire plenty of others to achieve what you were able to. Even without seeing the gram per watt rating on this grow, I can tell you did a damn good job. Congrats Synax and good luck on your move

Thanks LEDGirl

I'm extremely happy with these lights. Can't wait to get going again and have a full grow under them

Under the second gen was 4 plants and under the first gen was 5 plants, one in a small container.

Looks like you'll get a pretty nice yield out of those 9 plants! Can't wait to see how your yield report goes!

No offense taken. The cola's are nice but I think they could be fatter. They are denser than my first grow which was a scrog under a 250w hps.

Now, don't blame the non super dense buds on the LEDs. a few factors played into that:

I didn't spend much time with the girls, my PH meter was acting up and I wasn't watching closely for nute burn.
Temperature fluctuations. Now that I am using LED, I'm having a hard time keeping the tent above 80 during lights on. Currently the fan is running 24x7 so it may be time for one of the nicer atmospheric controllers.
The girls went into wilt mode a handfull of times due to time between waterings.
Small pots
I didn't have full LED coverage for a while. the second unit was not put into the tent till 25days into flowering.
Inexperience. I'm still a newb - this is only my second grow ever.

man they look great for your second grow. Keep at her and I think your next harvest will be even better than you could expect.

Quick update - we're all packed up and ready to start our drive tomorrow. not looking forward to the 2 days of driving...

Anyhow, onto the good news, we hit 4.25zips. The buds were fairly fluffy and I saw 1 seed which means I must have a light leak somewhere. With the problems we had and the short run I am very happy. I definitely want to give these lights from HydroGrowLED a few more runs. I think they will continue to amaze me.

Cost breakdown: 4.25 x $320 = $1360 is what we would have paid for this from our buddies who get it out of humbolt. $450x2=$900 for the lights, $175 for the tent, $50 for the fan and I already had the scrubber/nutes/ferts/soil.... So that is $1125 spent on this grow + electricity. We saved approx $225 and got 4 dozen cookies out of it.

Anyhow, we've been smoking and boy does it taste good, right now its sweet, still a bit wet so it burns longer - the high is great and heady.

Well. I'm off to bed, its been a long day and my back is killing me. thank goodness for the 4 dozen cookies we have... they are working great for the pain.
