Put the 2 seedlings in front of each other
Kind of shocking the difference in 2 plants exactly the same age and conditions only genetics different.

Plants are looking good Smoke

Spent the afternoon trimming up some plants at my outdoor location today.
You may recall the G13 I had to move due to clashing light cycles.
Well as you can see its in full on flower mode. Best estimate I figure 2 maybe 3 more weeks on the 1, the 2nd is not as developed yet, maybe 5 or 6 weeks for it.
Had to shoot the indoor grow with blurple lighting today lost the daylight.

I had a Bestiva 1000W Led. It was actual 130 Watts... These lights are so misleading. in case you don't know. It is recommended as general guideline of 30-50 actual Led watts from the wall per square foot. Your light is good for like 3 square ft.

So one would need 2 - 4 for a 4 x 4 tent? I had 4 in it but thought it was too much light . But I did harvest 200g of dried and manicured bud. Was my first LED grow as well. I am presently trying a grow with 2 x 1000w LED . Do you think this sounds right? Or am I better off with the 4 or converting to HID? The lights are Likesuns , full spectrum. They have a veg switch and a bloom switch but I use both.

Are you asking me or plant daddy since you put the post in my grow journal, the best I can offer is my personal experiences with what I'm using or used previously.
LED lights can be very misleading on wattage and light created.
You should be able to feel some heft in the light fixture and the visible light should be bright enough that it lights a room fairly easily if your light doesn't produce enough light that it's like having the regular indoor lights on, it's probably not gonna grow much of anything.
Look in my journal you will find the lights I'm using currently and getting decent results. 110 bucks from the zon and I use 2 for a 4x6 space

I grew some really dense bud and got 24oz after trim in my 4X4. I wouldn't grow with anything smaller than the TS3000 Mars hydro light. It was drawing 435 watts. A lot of people would think not enough. You can grow with less but bud won't be as dense or yield as much. You say 2 x 1000w Led. What does that mean? What is the actual draw from one of these lights. Is it really 1000 watts? You might have some ok buds with 2 x 1000 watt lights in a 2x2 area.

Did some cleaning up of the GDP and it's clone
The red solo cup is the Barney's Farms Runtz muffin from the contest. Seed started 2-21 so 12 days later this is where we are so far. Pretty healthy for 12 days out from a dry seed.
The seedlings began 2-11 so 22 days from dry seed for both of them. Afghani Gold is almost TWICE the size of the purple berry kush which is impressive on its own for 22 days

Some days this page makes posting more difficult than it needs to be.
I'll post eventually rite now it's just freaking irritated me with random errors here

 

[Reave]

That sucks your last post the girls were looking real nice. I’m sure you still got a lid on it.

The one small plant in the big container is the recovering plant from a cat chomping it almost to the soil. It's taken 2 months to see new growth on it. Suspect it will likely never grow fully after this setback but we shall see. It's G13 that should be 4 feet tall today.

Love the photos in natural light!

Was out a couple days spent Tuesday sick, had to move GDP to my outdoor location sucker put on 6 inches in a week after feeding some solid NPK.
Meanwhile the 2 seedlings have moved to larger accommodations as you can see.
The last one from Barney's farms ain't far behind them.
And the clone GDP is apparently just gonna go ahead and flower all on its own.

 

[smoke99]

Ok earlier today
The seedlings are happy in their new digs, the contest seed looking like next week to up pot.
My clone GDP had some rusty leaves, applied some nitrogen in a 6-4-4 fox farms grow big liquid. The plant feels healthy and has a solid bouquet when you walk in she is loud and proud
The G13 should SHOULD be ready this week to cut, at least 1 of the 2 since they were displaying solid trichromes in development last week
More on that this weekend when I travel to visit them

Lookin good! Hope you’re feeling better!!

Fun

Barney's Farms Runtz moved into a bigger house today! Had a nice solid root ball in the old red solo cup.
The other 2 seedlings have simply taken off like rockets, although one is CLEARLY head and shoulders the taller sibling.
I see the same weird growth in my tomatoes I have 5 plants all from the same seed package in identical dirt, buckets,water and light and 1 is a freak of nature compared to the other 4. Ironically same fox farms ocean forest soil makes amazing tomatoes plants as well.

Nice healthy girls my friend.

Well, the 2 seedlings got clipped and sent to clone.
The Barney's farms is coming along quickly as well.
The GDP clone is doing its best to flower too soon, but time will tell.

Very nice plants my friend. They look super healthy.

Meanwhile outdoors the G13 on the left is due any day now to be cut and begin drying. Momma GDP center has solid flowering going on but at least 3 or 4 weeks out still.
The G13 on the outside right is a week or two behind sibling on the far left.
