Blynx my man, I want what your smoking! That's some time altering stuff. Back on 8/10 you posted day 56 and now on 9/6 your posting day 63 and saying one week. You should call it Inception. lol Looking good as always, can't wait to see what's up next. Any old goodies that'll be coming outta storage in the next few rounds?

If you've followed my threads you've probably seen they don't usually follow the normal flow of time lol.

I was planning on posting the day 70 pics tomorrow, but now you're making me think I should actually wait a week ;)

I want to run some Chesaw under the LEDs but I didn't have one ready. I think the next round is going to be a Mob Boss.

the chesaw is still alive woot ! i must tell the dr, my mob boss f3 is about to spit some pollen woot , glad ya growing the mb , i got a sccj/mb that hasnt sexed yet od, but should be soon, still getting 90+ hot days here ugg, lol at call it inception, haha blynx time is like the matrix

edit, went back and looked at 63 days , wow i bet that is gonna be some tasty smoke, i love how the plant is eating its own leaves, more pe3ople should try growing bud and not leaf, it makes for some awesome herb when the plant consumes itself at the end

Chesaw!!! I can't wait to see how that does with leds and Mob Boss should make for some extra dense buds under those leds. Since switching to leds, have you noticed any tops start to grow albino?

Awesome grow blynx. Always wondered if this was possible. By any chance could you do a run in the 11"x11" with the 6 plants under these LED's & compare results?

Yes I've noticed some light bleaching and spiky/stacked calyx growth happening on some of the buds that are directly under the LEDs. I usually see this at the end of flowering.

Would you say that this is becoming a common occurrence compared to when you ran the cfls? Also, have you noticed it only happening to certain strains or just any top that's directly under the light?

Have you thought about adding 27k leds? Those vintage looking ones look to give a nice all around spread at 7w 800lm. I know I saw some that were 22 or 24k as well. Don't know if you've gotten your hands on some, but they'd be something interesting to review for your led comparisons.
 
Blynx. What is your recommendation for the distance between led bulbs? How close do they need to be together to keep from having poorly lit areas in between?

Mob Boss is coming. Life's been keeping me busy and haven't had much time to play with the girls nor edit pics.

I picked up two small cabinets this summer that I would like to get converted to grow cabs later this fall/winter.

Just a quick note to say thanks blynx
I'm guessing you already know how insirational your threads and posts are. :woohoo:
Epic photos and documentation of the micro cabinets.
Hope all is well in your part of the world, and I know I'm not the only one looking forward to your next update :)

How much gram/watt have you been averaging with these LEDs?

Also what bulb model are you using?
Still those 10 watt 800 lumen ones?
