thanks bro....it took me time..i did not get them all at once...i started by converting my veg side to LED first...depending on your needs after seeing a few who have built there own it really is not that expensive.....and in time the cost are recouped IF you get good LED's...the light brite models and etch-a-sketch ones are a waste of time and money. my big investment came when i decided to pull my 1000's out but i sold them on ebay for what 2 of the lights cost so i did some creative financing to do what i did. :jointsmile:

even though these are not the biggest buds i have grown...still very happy with the quality and density of them....i just left too much growth on the bottoms before flowering...my card was full:wtf: so i will get more photos later today! :jointsmile:

Looking real nice
:jointsmile:

Growing is an expensive hobby....it takes alot to get a good inital grow setup started. And it takes alot of money to maintain it.

I'm very interested in trying the LED lights....it makes sense, since it will save a huge amount on electricity and help immensely with heat issues especially in the summertime! I'll be starting another grow cycle in the middle of march....i'm hoping to start this time with an LED light....your pics are more than convincing! :jointsmile:

i am trying to decide....i am thinking of taking them down this sunday on day 56 for this batch....going to China in 3 weeks so that kind of crunches drying time to get this crop taken care of before i leave!

so true....but it is one of the few investments that do pay you back with good meds and a fulfilling hobby!

Very, very impressive, I'm becoming more and more interested in the idea of LED's a little further down the road. Who are the more reputable manufacturers of these types of lighting? How rapidly does anyone think the technology will move this kind of lighting? Where and with what would you recommend someone begin using this kind of lighting in their grow rooms?

Thanks!

there are many manufacturers out there some good....some selling snake oil!

my first purchases were the procyon 100's~ i liked the information i found regarding Cree LED's before i purchsed...but they are small and about $600 each...i looked at the TI smart bar which is a good light according to articles i read in High Times but almost $1800 for 330w....ouch! eventually i found these lights and i put 450w of light for $1350 on each of my trays but i started using them just to grow with before using them in flower:jointsmile:

i pulled them out of the tray this morning and will begin chopping tomorrow:smokin:

the leaves are curled from flushing but you can still see how green they for 55 days....only 1 leaf i found is discoloring!

next pictures will be the trimmed buds hanging in the cabinet! :jointsmile:
