Indoor LED advice sought

[PepS]

Idn on what lattitude you are i'm on 42N so here my outdoor plant is flowering. It's still summer here, but the day is getting shorter so I can't wait that girl to bloom. I think she is a semi-auto, because hers early pre-flowering on 15 june.View attachment 115981View attachment 115980View attachment 115982View attachment 115983
Wish you luck with the NL, i think there is a potential in her

I'm at 28.9 N (Central Florida) ... my three outdoor plants that are revegged stumps are blooming also. They don't get much sun because of where I planted them, maybe an hour or two of direct sun a day. They've been blooming for a couple weeks now. I'm anxious to see what the results of transplanting my NL outdoors will be. It is 8 weeks old today and was 7.5" tall and it's not an auto. I wish I was sure of what I did wrong so I could be careful not to do it again.

I'm very familiar w/ your latitude. I'm helping a friend grow outdoors in New York state at 43.0 N ... his plants are starting to bloom also. They are not autos and were sprouted the first week of May. Your plants look great. I'll look forward to seeing more photos of your plants as they progress.

These are my outdoor plants. Three are revegged stumps from a photo grow back in May. They are all blooming nicely. The first picture is my photo NL at 9 weeks, it's been outside for a week and about doubled (stretched) in that time. I hope for 4-5 buds from this plant by the end of November. None of my outdoor plants get more than a few minutes of direct sunlight a day ...

Harvested about 1/2 the crop yesterday. Took down two plants that although the same age as the others just looked more mature and ready and removed the top cola from two more. I'm waiting for a little more color in the pistils and I can get the light about 6 inches closer w/ the tops gone. Yesterday was 10 weeks from sprouting.

Good job, mate. Can you tell what is the dried weight after and some smoke report ? Soon will update too, I think there is a big difference than the last photos. :smokebuds:

The remaining ABM lower halves ... The plant w/ the rock in the pot is the one that grew 3 male flowers early on ... after removing them she became one of my best girls ... I look forward to posting a smoke report and a dry weight ...

Is this still a LED thread??

Here goes my question. I recently bought a 147 watt LED light. I read in the early part of this thread that the LEDs are throttled back for longer life. OK I get that. Some guessing of 50% to 75% output only.

Now my question to the electricians/electrical engineeers. If my light has LEDs combined maximum watt output of 147 watts but the voltage can be between 90 to 260, does watt output increase/decrease depending voltage?

Correct me if incorrect but I think UK & USA uses around 110 volts. Is this why the wattage output is less than 100%? If a person has 260 volts, would the watt output be much higher than a person with 90 volts?
Hope that makes sense?
