Very old Weeze
There's lotsa folksy truisms that use this formula. They seem like ratios, now that I look at 'em:
"Older" is to "violin" as "sweeter" is to "music". Expressed algebraically:
Older . . . . . . Sweeter
_______ = _________
Violin . . . . . . Music
You could even solve for an unknown term, if you know how to divide by violins. :eek:
Sorry. Mrs. Hermie rolled me a fatty. Guess the leds are working okay... :smokin:

This is indica-ish bagseed from a real non-impressive, if somewhat relaxing and pleasant, bag. It takes forever to mature, even under HPS, which this girl lived under for awhile. (Some heat damage is still evident.) She spent the last month under LEDs only, 'cos I retired that friggin' light-emitting furnace of an HPS. No loss, the leds work better. If I had to try and finish this baby under HPS she'd be crispy before she was ripe.
Wow DreadedHermie,
Your close-ups of the trichomes are so good that you don't need a microscope to see the color change! Very very nice.
Buds' look good too, sometimes a bagseed bean find is a good thing.
Hope it tastes as good as it looks.
Here's a picture of a small (2 popcorn size) bud I knocked off last night while harvesting some plants. Just can't get as close as you with my cheap camera.
Sweet bud, O.M.Quote:

So, where do we find this inexpensive magic, DH?
Weeze
There's an eBay auction that ends 3 hours from now. It's at $11.99 with free shipping (for a new one).
I got mine through Amazon.com, was $19.95 plus cheap shipping. There's a lot for sale there, also, but at the moment the best deal looks like ~ $28 + shipping.
Shop around, they made a zillion of 'em and after people get bored looking at bugs, hair, and the pores in their own skin they dump 'em, so supply currently exceeds demand. That manufacturer makes an IR night-vision headset, too. Maybe useful for the folks that need to visit their girls "after curfew."
The shots I took are all at 100X. I can't hold steady at the higher magnifications, but 100X does fine, better than my 30X German-made jeweler's loupe. They shoot movies, too, and come with a USB jump drive, FWIW. Super-short depth-of-field, though.
Weezard and oldmac, that is both some frosty stuff! Shots at 100X would be spectacular, I'm sure! :hippy:
Looks like this distributor (manufacturer?) ships individual "samples" for $85 --for a 50W unit, which seems to have identical specs to the 100W except for # of emitters (?)-- Weezard, I wonder if that's the explanation for the low-current-draw unit your friend from the other board acquired.
100W singles for $135.
Lessee here: 301 units @ $75 = 22,575.
Sell 301 units @ $229 (frequent eBay price, let's "forget to mention" that these are the 50W version) = 68,929.
Pretty fair ROI, considering how other investments are doing these days. No wonder there's so many folks hawking these things. :pimp:

Nice find DH!
Guess you'd better start da UFO thread ovah here.
You got da real skinny.:thumbsup:
I must add that I'm happier by the day with my knock off.
It's vegging da bejesus out of a WW clone!

Have to raise it every day.
Better than I expected.
I'd like to get a couple of their eval. units.
Do they want to see a re-sale number or will a nifty letterhead do it?
Greedy Weeze?
Well sure.
But more like freedom loving Weeze in dis case.
Got folks here dogging me to build lights for them.
I want to help 'em out, but it takes choke time to do it right.
Don't have a solid number on how much more "earth time I got so, I'm not keen on selling that much of it.
Creating a light is sheer joy. Making a second or third, from a pattern is just a J. O. B. to me.
A couple decent Evals would solve my present dilemma.
Aloha nui,

This grow is to nail down some of the practical details of the use of the LEDs in growing.
Next one will be more "production" with more plants. I am toying with moving over to hydoponics or aeroponics, but the extra work and temperature requirements may be more than I want to deal with.
Weezard,
What kind of Fuji are you using?
I have a Nikon SLR w/lens that allows 1:1 macro shots, but I don't knowhow tha relates to "Nx" (e.g. 100x) power maginification. I hope to avoid using my microscope because finding a particular spot on a bud/plant is like looking through a straw in a mirror. Very frustrating considering my poor vision.
