I am sure these must be the future of indoor growing. Low power consumption, so bills will be less of an indicator, low heat output, so less problems with ventilation and heat signatures.
Just need the cost to come down. But I will stick with the sun. |

Lookin good Vtec. Can't wait till flower starts. Are you expecting thick dense buds?

Oh yeah Spanish,
Nothing can compete with the sun. Kamel, the buds should be relatively dense. Not like with the sun or an HID but probably more on par with some CFL's.

Hey guys.
I can't believe it. After I watered them with the nutes, they just took off growing. The big one is about 12 inches and the other 10 inches. This Sunday marks week four that they are alive and as I said earlier my HPS grow usually gets to 12 inches tall by week 3-4. Therefore, I think that I am thoroughly impressed by this little light. At what point would you guys top it and do you think I should top it?

This intrigues me. If they were priced affordably (not cheap, I expect them to cost more than an HPS) and they prove to work well, I could see myself ordering a couple in the spring. I hope to be growing by then.
I would rather save up a little more for lights and save on my power bills. No need to get anyones atention

I agree Blazin, Thanks 2 Door.
Here are the plants at exactly 30 days old. The smaller one is 12-13 inches tall and the larger one a few inches taller. They have a few areas to take clones from (if I knew the sex) and the bigger one has an area of alternating nodes. The fan leaves are reaching up for the light indicative to me that they need more light and they certainly could use some LST. Unfortunately I am unable to LST at this time. Node length on the bigger one is a little long IMHO but the smaller one is curiously normal. I will put under 12/12 to see sex and put back into veg because I go under the knife in a bit here so I don't want to flower during that time. Oh and after I have determined sex, providing at least one girl, I will transplant to a 3 gallon pot. Then when I am recovered, I will grow some clones under it to the finish and attempt some LST.

Looking great man. Everything looks good, and isn't that about what kind of growth u said u had with ur HID?
If this is the case, HID lights better watch out, LED's are gonna be the wave of the future. Can't wait to see sex... Good luck with whatever surgery you're having. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Thanks buddy. Yes, growth seems similar to the HPS but, these are a tad bit stretched still I think. Surgery is not difficult but major. They will amputate my right arm which was burned very bad in the accident. Then I will get a Mio Electric arm like you have seen on TV. Not the most recent one that has feeling but, the one that looks like a hand and opens and closes. Tonight they had first day of 12/12. I hope one of them is female.

Usually, males grow extremely quickly to insure that they create pollen before the female plants are able to sex. This at least has been the case in my past outdoor grows. Females tend to grow a little slower and create more bushiness. I also find that males often have a greater distance between nodes than females. Hopefully this helps if you plan on cloning females!

Thanks Ganj and reasoner
Hey guys, Both female. And I topped the tall one today. It was 18 inches tall. I took 2 clones off the topped portion so we will see if the top will root.
