I figured that if I got a pound from the 2 lights it will be comparable to what I would have gotten if I grew with one 1000w HPS. My friend that I used to grow with in Cali gets that each pull and that was my basis for that statement.
Jilly Bean is a very low yielding strain according to my friend who recently grew it out, so this will be yet another obstacle for me. But I enjoy a challenge.

What it all comes down to is that there are many pros and cons to each type of light. Personally, I am fascinated by the technology and I worked my ass of this summer and chose to use the money I made to try it. I am taking a risk but I am comfortable with my choice. I think many people are afraid to try LEDs because there is a lot of negativity. Plus it's a challenge. I am not a commercial grower. I do want to grow enough that I can smoke whenever I want, make tons of edibles, and sell some.
Only time will tell if I pull this off, but I am documenting it all here for everyone to see. There very few LED grow logs on growery, and none nearly as large as mine.
So here you go growery, enjoy the show.

I really don't care how much you guys discuss here. If it gets out of hand I can always start a new thread. An active thread is a good thread, IMO.
One of my first threads ever started on this site has about 2 pages of Maryanne and Magesh discussing differing points of view. I don't mind one bit. I learn a lot from you guys.
Not a big deal, but this is "her" thread, not "his".

Those are some expensive toys.
Yes! And I can't wait to start playing with them!

It's really nice to have a close friend that is also in to cultivation.
That's a picture of my future clones. He just cut me 36 Qrazy Train clones. His exact words when I was throwing the SOG idea around, "Those fat little bitches would be perfect for SOG" QT is a mostly indica hybrid, decent yield, short stocky plants.
Here's the plan.
First grow, SOG style. I chose this for the speed, not the efficiency. I will have 36 clones in flower in approximately 10 days from now. This cuts weeks of waiting off from my initial flowering start date. In the meantime, in veg, I will be creating a beefy, trained plants for ScrOG next time around.
Putting the finishing touches on the tent today. Need to put up some ducting and hang the LEDs.
Many more pics coming soon.

We got the wrong ducting from the hydro store. We got the regular and we need the one that does not allow light in. So it's supposed to be in tomorrow. Hence the delay in the pics of the tent.
I am trying to seal up every single light leak in that cheap tent. Word of advice, don't buy a cheap tent or you will spend hours setting it up and hours fucking with light leaks. I can't hang the led lights up in the tent until I get all this squared away.
I took a few pictures just to show what's going on now. More to come as soon as I get the tent all set up.
The first few pics are the 4 JB and QT clones mentioned in the beginning. They came in not looking great at all and have improved immensely, but still have a way to go. They are strong enough for some LST, but I can't start really working with them until they have a transplant.
My plan may change in the future, but as of now, I want to get those 4 clones trained for a ScrOG (second grow) after I do the first SOG mentioned earlier in the thread. If all goes well and they turn in strong healthy plants, I may just do 2 plants per led. But I am getting ahead of myself....
And the last few pics are of the seedlings. They were initially stunted. I was eager to start growing and did not have my temperature under control. We live in an older house and the AC could not keep up with one T5. Now we have a 1000 BTU stand alone AC in the room, and the temp is fine. Despite their rocky start, the seedlings seem to be getting back on track just fine.
Yes, they are hungry. They have a feeding due in a few hours. I plan on raising the PPM. Seedlings have been getting 250 for the last week or so. Clones are currently getting 700.

My boyfriend helps me, but he has a job, so once everything is all set up, it will be mainly me doing the work.
Of coarse, the ducting for the tent was not in today, but they promised tomorrow.
Also, my clones are not getting here as soon as I hoped because my friend is going out of town first, then bringing them to me.
I can't believe we have been in our new place for a month now and the operation is this backed up.

Ducting came in for the tent yesterday. We should get the tent finished tonight. Lights are off right now.
Lots of pics coming tonight or tomorrow of the transplanted girls and the whole setup.

Those 4 clones I took in are recovering so nicely, I may just flower those 4 ScroG style under one light and SOG my incoming clones on the other. Tent still not ready should be done tonight.

Seedlings and clones are all looking pretty damn good IMO.
Definitely going to Scrog those 4 clones. As you can see by the pictures, they are responding well to LST.
Bought a screen from the hydro store, just got to get that up. I hope to be flowering those 4 clones within the next day so stay tuned.
Not sure what the deal is with my other clones. Haven't heard from my buddy in days. Not sure if he's still out of town or what. If your reading this, M, I WANT MY BABIES PLEASE

A picture of the tent all set up before I put anything in there. Those lights are BRIGHT. I know there are a lot of LED haters out there and I feel really good about this. I'm out to make some believers!
Also a picture of the 4 clones that are going under a ScroG under one light. Last night was Day 1 flower.
More good news, my SOG clones are coming tomorrow, so both sides of the tent will be operational soon.

UPDATE....feeling good today seedlings are ready for LST, soon as they dry out a bit, just fed clones came in from Cali, giving them few days to get some more strength, giving them a transplant, then off to the LED tent! Thank you so much M, your a great friend. new and improved ScroG...PITA to do but worth it.

SOG Day 1 Flower
The 3 plants off to the side one of each seedling (Church, Super Lemon Haze, White Rhino). I did not need doubles, and I picked the best ones for mothers.
The future moms.
ScroG Day 12 flower
The whole tent.
Peace out motherfuckers.

I said that for my best friend in Cali that got me the clones. We used to make videos together and that was what we would say when we were drunk and stoned and having fun. He is supposed to be putting the youtube channel back up. Right now it's empty, but if you want to check it in the future, it's Caligrowgirl.

Don't ever do a SOG style grow if you are hand watering your plants. Lot of small plants in a cramped tent is recipe for stress !
Other than that all is well, just really fucking stressed out by that shit.
