Lighting Critical Kush Scrog GN LED

[Lewb12]

Day 67/35 today Had to order a new dehumidifier this morning as mine seems to have gone overnight, got next day delivery though so hopefully be here tomorrow! also had to treat soil with an organic pesticide which I got from my local hydro shop and stuck some sticky traps in my tent as I've had a problem with fruit flies. On the plus side my dehumidifer is a better one and I'm starting to get some nice fat buds

day 81/49 Got a little lazy with ph which I think explains the yellowing around some of the main colas. pistils are around 60% amber on the two on the right under LED's and around 20% on the two under HPS. started giving plain water today and

will probably bring them down in around 14 days.

Wow that is an awesome grow Lewb12. I have to wait until next month before I can even think about planting, I live to close to a school so I am waiting for the move, Then I can setup my tents and grow my own meds! In the mean time I am lurking in the forums and learning as much as I can. My 1st grow will include a couple of Critical Kush photos so I really appreciate your sharing your experience. Can't wait to see what your dry weight per plant will be. Best of luck on the rest of your grow/harvest.

So My journey with these CKs is over. All four plants were harvested, firstly the two plants under LED's at day 87/55 and secondly the two under HPS at day 93/61 Both were dried for 5 days and are now in jars with boveda 62% packs.

I would just like to take the time to give my opinion on growing LEDs vs HPS.
The two plants under LED definitely started of as the smaller two as you can see from the early days. They also seemed to mature faster and in turn came down 6 days earlier. Also the bud density is completely out of this world on the bud from the LED's as compared to the lighter more fluffy bud from the Two under HPS. That said I'm glad I got the HPS in the end as I think I would have struggled with temps thus would have ended up with stunted plants. I'm definitely pro LED especialy when you consider the dry weights which are....

The total dry weight for the two plants under HPS are.... 138 grams
And the total for the two under LEDs are .................... 135 grams


So in my opinion for the sake of 3gs of bud i would go for LEDs all the way! Heres some pics of the end of my grow and the bud. Also some of some bubble hash I made. I got two jars full of trim and I knew there wasn't going to be a great deal so after I went through my 220 bag I went straight through to 25 micron and ended up with 4.9g of some nice smelling hash! also little tip for anyone thinking about getting the 1 gallon bags. They are way too small even for the small amount I had I would definitely recommend getting the 5 gallon bags as what would have been a fairly easy task ended up being rather tricky. Anyway enough rambling from me, I will be starting my first DWC grow Later in the week so will start a journal shortly. many thanks again tp the members of AFN for helping me achieve my highest yield to date!

Plus max rep for an excellent grow and the HPS/LED feedback. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with DWC.

Thanks bro and thanks for the rep! not sure how ill do with dwc yet. Just wanted to cover all aspects of growing lol just put my seeds into tissue paper after 24 hour soak so will start a journal in the next few days :Sharing One:

I'll sub to your DWC bud ! good luck man & great scrog too :Sharing One:

Thanks bro will definitely be needing some guidance on dwc. Always wanted to try hydro just never thought I had the space so a 1 plant Scrog for now should be plenty in my tight space
