OK, I returned on Tuesday and have been a busy little bee. The plants overall looked good, the babysitter did a fine job with all the heat and issues that were thrown at him. I am going to be working on the tents tonight when I get a moment, so I will snap some pics, so we can see what is happening in there.. I have school, and another garden to do some work on then I will be back here working on my own garden. To many thing going on right now, I am trying to catch up on two weeks of lost time... Sorry for no pics, soon soon soon!!!!!!!

Okey dokey, I am finally starting to get a little bit of free time.. I have been trying to get the garden back into shape.. The ladies were needing some serious attention. You name it and I have been fighting it.. All the venting was completed and the A/C units are set up and running smoothly. I am able to keep the area in the mid to high 70's most of the day and down into low 70's the rest of the time... Now time and effort is going to go into growing. Lot's of stuff going on in Colorado...
The LED's are about 16" off the canopy of the tallest plant. The HPS is about 12" off the canopy. The plants are looking a bit rough.. They all were fed and sprayed with mite rid. We will see if they come out of this last ordeal alright or not. I can't wait until WINTER gets here...
Satori- 43 days- yellow=HPS Green=LED plants
Third Dimension
Chernobyl
SnoCap
I will probably start doing some training on a few of the, most the LED plants will be supercropped at the least. A few of the HPS ladies will be trained too...

Awesome! Thanks for the update!
Looks like the HPS's are stretching way more than the LEDs....is it stretching, or have they grown more nodes than the LEDs??

hey irie
considering all they have been through your plants are looking good. dang those hps really bring out the stretchy genes.
Are they still in veg?
do you think they would be stretch like that with an MH light?
every time i see an led grow i wanna get one, even a little one for vegging.
I hear you on the wanting winter grow temps my grow has been like 88 to 93 for like two weeks now.
Wish i could afford an air conditioner and the electricity.
looking good and looking forward to flower

Re: 420 Consumer Reports Competition - GrowLEDHydro's 600W LED vs. 600W HPS by Be Iri
Thanks you guys...
The heat may have made them stretch a bit more then usual. All of my snocaps have grown this way ( perfect for a SOG grow) no matter what I put them under. I had the mom and a bunch of her clones under a 1000 watt MH and they still stretched. The mom is around 6.5 feet tall ( Dohhhhhhhhh) and everything is still in veg. OK, gotta go put some of the ladies through a yoga class and see what happens..
I am thinking that once I get them healthy I will swap them over to flowering, here in the next few weeks...

OK, let me give you guys a quick update... I have been working on getting the ladies back to health and they are slowly getting there. Some are still scarred up from all the battles these last month. The weather is and should be cooling down here, fall is soon and then winter I can't wait for the snow to start flying!!. All of the plants were supercropped except for the LED 3rd Dimension (growing slower then the rest). I am thinking 2-3 more weeks of veg, then into flower they shall go (as long as everyone is healthy). They have been fed only organics since day 1......
Third Dimension-
Satori-
Chernobly-
SnoCap-
The LED Tent with some extra plants in there ( needed the room)
The HPS tent with friends (same excuse as above)
to you all..

Re: 420 Consumer Reports Competition - GrowLEDHydro's 600W LED vs. 600W HPS by Be Iri
Hey IRie
the girls look good. Seems like all the new growth is really healthy. I can see the battle scars a bit here and there. Was it a nute issue or pests?
You may have mentioned it but were the snowcaps topped? Maybe its just the angle of the pics.
HPS and LED are vegging very different. Flowering will be interesting.

Thanks Fal, they went through a little bit of everything.. Had bug,nute,heat, and PH issues.. When I got back from vaca I was able to start nursing them back to health. They are getting there slowly but surly.
The snowCap was supercropped (crimped) a few days ago. It is a funny angle, I had to look twice when I saw it... I will get better pics of the supercrops, round two of the SC will be soon as I am getting them ready to go into flowering...

Re: 420 Consumer Reports Competition - GrowLEDHydro's 600W LED vs. 600W HPS by Be Iri
that is amazing! I am debating still on weather or not to go the route of an 400 HPS or an 300W GLH light or Stealthgrow light. I hear too many different stories. I am hoping to find a nice LED for flowering, even though i heard they are popular for Vegging. not really for flowering. I got my ladies under a t5 for vegging. I may want to pick up this same LED for my flowering.
Great grow man! I am still new to this forum, but you guys and your grows is amazing

Hope you get ur girls all back into tip top shape, i feel u bro i am dealing with the same shit, its a night mare trouble after trouble with my girls but i just keep trucking threw and learning and becoming a better grower. I WILL CONKER ANY THING THATS THROWN AT ME. and u will do the same.. all the new growth is looking good, and i am glad the heat will be going away for you soon, its be a bi*ch for me in this 100F+ weather..

Going to grab a couple from each grow and switch them when you switch to flowering? Would give you four variations instead of two. I'd guess that the ones that vegetate under the LED and flower under the HPS would stretch more (possibly more than all three other sets?) but what that would do to yield and how all four variations would rank, I have no idea.

Quick update, before I head out for some fun in the sun...
TS- I have the original four that will be flowered under their perspective lights. I just have the other plants in under the lights for now because of space issues. The four plants always get the prime spots under the lights.
The HPS would double to triple the size of the LED plants if I didn't supercrop them. The heat the led kicks off still trips me out..
Did another round of supercropping, going to transplant them into 3-5 gallon pots (haven't decided which one yet) and start prepping for flowering. Some pics of the girlies...
SnoCap- Showing some of the supercropping
the two snoCaps.. yellow-HPS Green-LED
Chernobyl's
Third Dimension
Satori

This is great stuff. Very interesting to see the HID plants so much taller. Its hard to tell, but do you think there is more bud sites as well? The shorter seem a little more dense as far as inter-nodal goes.

if you were growing just with the led would you have felt that you needed to super crop?
