LED Ahoy!

Okay, this becomes my new official grow journal. There's still the krusty/DWC update, but that stuff is going to be hash. pH swings like mad and heat issues from poorly-ventilated spaces caused that to be a complete cockup.

The gear:

1 new prototype 50w quad-band+4500K white LED, combo 120/90 degrees.
1 Current-gen 50w tri-band solar-insolation spec LED, fully 120 degrees.
1 current-gen 120w tri-band solar-insolation spec LED, fully 120 degrees.

The 120w gets my two largest mothers, as I'm flowering them now and will relegate some fresh clones to mom status. The prototype 50w gets the 5-site DWC SoG bucket. The 50w tri-band gets two DWC plants, taller than the others.

I'm a little shaky on when I started the flowering, but I know it hasn't been two weeks, and the buds are really just now starting, so we'll say this is the beginning of true flowering and roll for 10 weeks!

The fourth pic is of the 5-site DWC with a flash to simulate what it would look like under the prototype, as while the human eye has no problem seeing the green from three white diodes, the camera simply cannot due to the red and blue overload.

I'm in. I learn something every time you post.

Where do you get your lights?

I design and make them.

Update time!

Going well! Much better than last flowering run. One week, flowers are about the size of my index tip joint. Getting frosty already as well.

Where do you get the parts to make them?

Fantastic. I hope to see how this goes, as I want to use Purely LEDs inhe future. Ballasts are too much trouble!

I don't. I load up a PCB design program, lay out everything, then send the design out to a manufacturer that can meet my exact specifications.

I only get raw diodes for testing from companies.

I added another set of 9 clones into 12/12 flowering. Under a 50w, in a single Krusty Bucket.

Week 2 done, week 3 beginning, for the moms, day 3 for the clones in the new krusty bucket.

My closet is beginning to reek. Whenever I have not smoked in about an hour, the closet scent begins to build up.

Oh, and to add, I obtained some mylar from a friend and some spare hydro stuff he didn't need, so I might be making a new boxed system, soon!
