UFO test run

[VLCMSTN13]

Thanks again guys for all the support!

- D rock i love RATM, nice quote! thanks for stopping in

- American grower, Yeah they are sweet tooth X D-39, So yeah they are pretty small buds compared to if i was growing them under a big hid lamp. And i completley agree with you that its not worth $600 and it does suck taking up 4 months of time to grow. But on the other hand i just had to know if it was the hype. So i was really really skeptical at first. Now i'm actually happy with their size becuase a month ago i didn't think i would get a thing. We will see what the final wieght is but if nothing else i learned a thing or two and got to show alot of people what this little lamp is or isn't capable of growing.. plus i get some freak show LED buds to smoke and they smell fucking great

 

[Americangrower]

Fair enough....I hope they are a strong Sweetooth pheno and that makes up for the small buds...

grow safe

Well its been about 65 day and i've started flushing the girls after a strong enzyme tea. They all seem to be very happy and finishing nicely. I'll post some more pics in a few days with some individual plant shots and what not.. enjoy

Well hello again every one, I'm getting mighty close to tasting my first UFO treats and its kinda exciting. It feels like my first grow all over again. Except this looks alot better then that 125 cfl I started with years ago..
Back to the Buds, I chopped all the girls last night after a nice flush and some time too dry out. Now it just becomes that waiting game we all know so well. They all have a little bit diffrent smell, One smells like pure rotten death, so i'm pretty stoked about that one... others go from a some what fruity very sweet smell, to a cross of the sweet with the rotten.. kinda like sweet n sour.. but without the chicken..
now i'm just rambeling.. Heres what you came for..














As soon as they've dried i'll post the weight and all that good technical info, for the time being enjoy the bud shots and thanks for checking out my grow!

How many watts of ufo was this again? Finished product dont look bad... would u do it again?

 

[VLCMSTN13]

Hey GET MO, The ufo runs at 90watts. And the finished product its great, the buds aren't huge or anything, but very very dense and resin coated. The #3 pheno really puts me on my ass and makes me just plain stupid. Pretty great stuff before bed, not as sweet before work ha.
Would i do it again? Maybe, but not anytime soon. If i did run it again i would put 2ft T-5s in each corner of the box, then i think i would really veg alot faster and maybe help the smaller buds. I thought about using the led for sexing and growing out males and what not, but i need the wattage however little it may be. So for the time being the ufo is being packed up for a rainy day.

Looking Good

 

[SiKk]

awesome info man..

 

[lilo]

Looks like 90 or so 1watters in there. I've seen those go on ebay for about 250 pounds, still too expensive, imo. I doubt 4-5 of those will stand against 400hps in bud density and weight. Looks like it would make a good rig for propagation and veggin

 

[sns_stealth]

great job VLC. nice buds w/ over .5 g/w. and just to show how good LEDs can be, its really 65-70W output from a UFO, due to the power supply using the rest. I got that from a company guy a while back. so....that would put it at .75 or better as I said great job.

Thanks for the tech info sns_stealth, always good to get the inside!
