Episode 3...Revenge of the LED

WOW that Church makes me want to BELIEVE again:D

Now you have gotten me to the point of considering using LED Lighting. You have passed the test in my opinion:thumbsup:

I am going to have to read this entire log now.:) then start doing my cost comparisons to find out the length of my return on investment if I were to convert.

Excellent work and thanks for sticking with it in order to find the best way to grow under these lights. If it were me I would have given up the first try and passed them off as crap, licked my wounds, and gone back to the HID lighting.

Again thanks for sharing your experiences and enjoy your Church.:rastasmoke:

Thanks JG!!! Good to see ya on here:thumbsup:

Just ordered my bubblebags last night, should be here tomorrow. There is a guy on nebay making the bubblebags, same micron and everything. I got the 5gal 5bag system for only $90. Cant beat that shit, the real bubblebags are hundredS.

So anyway, got about 7oz total this grow, not all that great considering 9 plants at 2ft each. AMAZING resin though, and a freak pheno was found.
All in all, Episode 3 was a much more successful LED grow than I have seen.

BIIIIIIIG changes are a foot.

Stay tuned for "Episode 5: The____Strike Back!!!!!!!!!"

Taps- you crack me up... I'll be watching for the 5th installment my friends

D

planning more LED experiments soon....stay tuned...
good vibes

Cant wait loved the first logs hope to see more. ill be updating my Led log tomorrow.

Very good, LED will be the light to have soon, I hope.

You certainly have your stuff dialed in. Those plants look yum and very well grown from what I have seen on this and many other sites. Good work..

Thanks frosted! I am lucky enough to have a few cuts of SFV OG Kush coming my way, so I feel they are something worthy of a new LED experiment.
I am gonna start with the Procyons, have been able to accrue a lil funding for a self designed board...just may not be getting it for a few months. So this will be the first run of a pure indica under the procyons till the board gets here.
If any of you from the first few runs were watching, one thing we learned for sure, is that sativa dom plants are no good for LEDs...YET. So running Jack Herer was not the best idea, and I am sure the yield will be MUCH better with the kush that is Almost pure indica.
Stay tuned!
good vibes

WT, SnSstealth,

Looking forward to seeing your grow unfold. Your previous experiments gave me the courage to try high power LED arrays for myself.:thumbsup:


MP:hippy:

THanks merry! glad I could help!
good vibes

I don't know if im too stoned or what, but I didn't quite get how many of those procyons did you use to get these results?

Anyway, it looks great!

Hi Dizzyground.:)
This rig consisted of a TI Probloom (300W) on the tops and 2 Procyons in opposing corners so that the LED output was pointed at eac other's corner midway between the top of the pots and the top of the canopy.

The idea was that the Procyons would provide sidelighting to lessen the loss of "penetration" vs a HID lamp.

That would be 300 watts for the TI and 200 for the Procyons to make a total of 500 watts LED.

:smokin:

Now that I know that my rig has the juice to deliver I've acquired some good Feminine beans (Barney's Farm Laughing Buddha) and will soon run them.

Hope this helps what I was doing with the lights...
:twocents::twocents:
M.P.

Hey yourself:)

Okay thank you for the info. I was kinda hoping you didn't use that much LEDs because I am thinking of growing with LEDs instead of HPS lamp. Not a stealth grow or anything, just a thought. But it needs too much money to get that many LEDs.

I've been lurking awhile and was set to do the LED thing but don't see the output to justify it here. Am I missing something? Was the 7 OZ for 9- 2 foot plants for one, two or three light panels?
If anyone can point me in the right direction or sumarize the results, I'm lost in these threads.
Thanks

Not sure if we have the 'snot-sponge' thing up here, but I bought a solution of a targeted bacterium called Vectabac, which is supposed to be the only thing that will kill off their eggs in the soil. Have been using it for a week, with some good results, tho covering the soil is another good way to interrupt their life cycle... and helps with reducing evaporation!

Also, you can make sticky traps outta good ole Duct Tape, and put'em on the rims/edges of your pots... they won't look like they're working at first (the /odd/ bug will seem to be able to cross 'em), but peel 'em up 2wks later, and look at alla bugz caught underneath ;)

I have also heard of people using diatomaceous earth on the top of their soil (kind of like a clay that is razor-sharp at a microscopic level, which cuts them up as they crawl across it), but I am having a hard time finding some up here in TO.

Besta luck killin' the bugZ.

PS: didn't realize that there were 19+pages in the thread; this post is related to one on 'bout page 3 ;)

No worry brah, your advice is still spot on.:thumbsup:

Lemme go see If I can dig ya up some rep fo' dat.

Aloha and Mahalo.
