You have the green thumb, indeed, sir!
Very interested in how this turns out...

So far there are 3 things I can gather from the photos (but only Hazy knows for certain):
1) The LED's are producer colas with more density (more compact stature)
2) LED's are producing some plants that appear darker green overall
3) The THC content under LED is noticeably better than that under HID.

nice work on both sides hazy,this must be a tougher than average grow to pull off and everything is looking green and lovely.
can you give us some rough idea of the difference in watering and nute use of both sides?

Hey guys, the nutes are
GH flora
7.5 ml hardwater micro
12-15 ml bloom
7.5 ml floranectar fruitnfusion (for the Mg,
S and K)
2.5 ml SM90 (the secret ingredient to healthy roots)
The SD on the HPS side drinks a couple ounces more a night. I give both C4s the same.(16 oz every day for the C4 and SD) The SS on both sides take less, but not sure how much.
Hey Unc, about the work for the grow and to put up pics for this thread:
The divider is a pain to work around. Mainly because I have PM(you'll see the pm scars in the next pics) and have to turn around each plant(except the c4, seems to be immune) every few days to spray Greencure.
Last update i took 75 pics. Then I load them onto the computer and go through them and get rid of blurry ones and sucky ones. I give them a group name like 3-25 or whatever the date is. Now time to go through and rename them all with the strain and whether LED or HPS. Then I open them up in PhotoShop for resizing and possible cropping. Sometimes I make adjustments to curves or brightness. Resize to 800 x 600 and save as jpegs to a new folder. Gotta keep each set of pics separate to have a chance of being organized enough. Then I have to go through them and pick which ones to put up. Then I try to upload them in order so they're easier to find the right ones as I'm posting.
It takes a couple hours to do it all. At least.
Tomorrow, expect a full blown update. You guys will be sick of my pics. I expect to take at least 100-150 pics to try to come up with enough good ones for the DAY 48 update.

Great VG, can't wait to see you get started. Blaze's thread's moving along, hey, anyone see opt1c around? He should be getting a thread going too.
Took a ton of pics.
I really don't think anyone wants to see that many pics though, so I'll put up a few and if you guys want more let know. Well, maybe I should just put them all up. So many bud shots, and I know some peeps want to see some details.
Here's some side by sides of the Sour Diesel. we're at 48 days in the pics. I'm going to drop down nute levels starting tonight. Time to flush coming up fast. This SD is going to go 60-62 days. I've gone longer, but it's not enough better to wait for.

Judging from the pictures it appears the HID side is winning, The buds seem a little longer and slightly larger.

Been lurking on this one for a few, thanks for doing the comparison Hazy! Have to say the led's are looking good, the flower heads are really blocky and dense looking,

agreed great comparison pics. I just hope the comparison weight comes through...I've been pulling for LEDs for a long time, they just haven't done what we all want them to yet.
Looks like you're getting really close though Hazy. Great grow, great pics. +rep
