Some day 47 shots .... 250w 4' x 2'

I'm thrilling on the 100% SILs tent...

Stalks are ridiculous! Outrageously solid and hard, gonna develop my hand muscles while supercropping and shaping them!

I grew these same plants under a 400W HPS (100% Gavita) on previous run and stalks weren't remotely this thick and hard.

@Terpene: I recall reading stalks were this thicker, did you notice them being harder to crush too?

Plants are loving it, the homogeneous light overlap is helping a lot on keeping an even canopy, I'd say there's a great sinergy between grid-hood SILs and training.

2nd day flower Kalichakra, Beyond the Brain #2, Beyond the Brain #1 after training:




The front corners, less lush green plants are Krystalica cuts, gonna repot and flower them, one under a SIL, the other under a COB (both on big tent) for comparison purposes.

IMHO however there's simply no competition between COBs and SILs. SILs win in my book... I had the COBs purchased since 4-5 years ago but didn't assemble them as had to stop growing; back at that time SILs weren't a reality.

Loving how this hood turned out, I've built all kind of hoods (CFL, HML, SILs and a COB) but this so far is my most valued one. BTW: cleats aren't even warm, SILs mild warm.

Thanks to Blynx and Terpene for leading the way to SILs!
