Sorry guys, been a while. I've gotten a lot more items during the time. My hydro is almost set for use. Waiting for final components. We continue; week 7, Yesterday arrived the CMH light (Ceramic Metal Halide), which instead of the HID and HPS has a broader spectrum and Kelvin temperature, the bulb emits slightly more heat due the gas emitted in the arc tube to complete that spectrum but never more heat then HPS bulbs itself, simply love it. I topped the plants at week 3 and 4 but had a setback at April '25 when once a day windows were open and a wind force of 7.0 was active, during this moment i was not home (luckily came back soon) after the LED lightning literately felt down on the plants. some leaves and branches were totally cut off. I ran emergency code level 3 and cured them with tape and green light during night time. after a week, i saw slow node progress :) Current state grows fast and it seems the plants love the new light, so far they have been topped twice resulting 4 nodes, later they will be topped for 8 nodes up to 16 nodes each if necessary/possible in time frame. (The plant in the back is a lemon auto; i did remove some nodes and defoliate, but no topping). Overall still on low feed, switched to Canna A and B in about week 4. will increment when set hydroponically. Finally; new girls has joined the family. 2x white widow and 1x big bud from sensi seeds. Mid week 4's.

Hey there I read that you're thinking of switching to LED? If I can say anything, research the lights, I've come to find they are anything but consistent, some do well with veg but not with flowering. Also I'm doing the same strain and breeder, but in an outdoor setup. I'm very excited to see how an indoor setup goes, and the harvest. How large is your grow space? What's the maximum height you could possibly achieve? If you don't mind my asking. Happy growing.

@Experimentgreen, That's true, there are many debates if LED's are good for flowering, some believe not so because of the light penetration, while others say different. I myself believe theyr good for vegetation, and use the bloom switch only as supplemental light in flower, because of the infrared and red diodes. As main i use a ceramic discharge light. I've grown before with LEDs only (450w - 200W actual power) in a 90x50cm closet. I can say the buds were small to average in size, and a decent quantity of THC. Most of these lights lack red light in comparison to blue and with a smaller light intensity. i would not use this as a main flowering light again, unless above average coverage. PAR output in comparison with other lights is usually a bit lower. Overall they are not bad lights from seed to harvest, not forget to mention they consume alot less, so you could bring 2 or 3 quality leds for the same price as a HPS or HIDs in terms of monthly electricity costs. For me, i calculate PAR, PPFD and light intensity to monthly cost ratio to get the best out of lights. *tip: go for CMH lights, good in UV/UVB, good spectrum and 50% less costs then traditional HPS and HIDS

Personally i love using LED for veg. The blue light keeps the plants short with shorter internodes. HPS for flower here
