Okay, first grow diary posted on here and mirroring off my blog - wanted to document my first run with LED lighting. Figured I would go big and run 6 Black Dog Platinum XL-U (750W true power per light) units over 3 4x8 tables in a run-to-waste feed system.
I will be turning on the 6k HPS lights in Hydrofarm Raptor hoods in another section of the room within the next two weeks.
The table farthest along spent the first 4 weeks under the HPS lights and then moved under the LED. The heat was affecting them already,but they are blowing out nicely still - especially under the canopy on the lower parts of the plants. By way of comparison, the first round of the GSC and Headband I did together under the HPS looked very similar in that regard, but pretty sure these are more resinous. Not sure if that can be attributed to the LED lighting or the stress of moving or what...but we will see soon enough. Safe enough to say that these are some trich covered buds in that tray though.
The center tray has 3 of the Arcata Trainwreck in the front, 12 Cannatonic (still have to determine the CBD profile on this pheno), and 3 Headband in the back. Those are on day 3/4 and seem to be adjusting to their new environment well.
The last tray were the first ones under the LED and after 10 days I have more than 1"/day growth on the Diesels and they haven't gotten out of control lanky. Again - no conclusive evidence of the LED here - but they look good.
I tried to color balance most of the pics properly so they weren't all purple/pink
