Bah, I nearly bought two procyons before I got my switchable. Now I wish I had invested the extra money... That product looks very special :thumbsup:.
Look forward to seeing more!
NSF
i use the procyon's in veg and they are a small and spendy light...they lack the proper wavelength in getting good results in flower..the reds in it are only 635nm and the WEX-150 has 660nm...a deeper red! and easier on the pocket! :thumbsup:
the first photos are current progress...hard to give a day count as they did have some overwatering issues from the caregiver slowing progress a little but coming along fine :D
pics 3 & 4 are day 5 of the other tray...all OG Kush SFV...same as the other tray :jointsmile:
the last pic is a banana tree at the grow shop :smokin:
Ah nice, pictures, I was about to bitch and moan, but you have halted that, lol. Looking awesome man, I've been looking into 100w fixtures from the same company as your lights. Well, looking for in the future. Either way, hope you had a good holiday, peace.

they don't make the 100w units anymore....only the 150w with 3w diodes :thumbsup:Quote:

Okay Str8 Im doin it!!!!! im goin LED. I need to ask you some questions first!
Okay so first question. I dont have a huge set up and at the moment am not looking to grow more than 2 plants right now. I have done some reaserch on the whole Light Emitting Diode (LED) thing, But can I get away with getting a smaller LED light fixture and still have the same yeild on one plant?? I think I can but not sure...AND, What color lite do I use, blue,red,yellow,purple,orange,white, a combo of blue and red???? SO many COLORS!!!!! BUT from the looks of things on your end you look like you know what your doin.
Also do you still use a liteing schedual? 18-6 for veg? 12-12 for flower?
The hole reason for lite sched is for the proces of photosynthisis to occure, but with the LED the plant is allowed to photosynthasize as long as the lites are on and the right color/colors is used. So Im wondering if you use a different lite sched or the same. I gues Im just confused. Also very excited to get this whole LED thing goin!!!!!!!!
GORWGOOD!!
i run 22/2 in veg because i have one strain that wants to flower so i stay on a high light schedule. then i keep my flower on12/12... there are alot of things to look for in a good LED light but mainly having 660nm diodes which are the most expensive...key in effective flowering...you can hit my yahoo or skype and i can give you more! :jointsmile:Quote:

the other shots are my floor plants :D
silver spur is the taller and sierra kush is the shorter one :smokin:
just fed this tray 3 gal and it is week 6 :jointsmile:
looking good! have you noticed much of a difference with moving the lights down? i need to get my hands on some of those LEDs for testing! so hit me up via yahoo.
keep up the great work!

Every single time I hear "LEDs won't yield or penetrate" I show pictures of your grow. They almost universally shut up. :)
Keep up the awesome work!
shake~ yes i have noticed a difference with keeping the lights as close as i can :thumbsup:
thanks khyb :D
Great informative thread, I registered to this forum to subscribe to THIS thread.
I recently got my card, so I've been doing my research on LED lighting for all the obvious perks. I was afraid to make the leap (especially on reading the MOUNDS of negative comments over the last 2+ years) but it finally looks like people are having success with LEDs...especially since the new tech has been out.
Thanks for posting this! I'll be on the LED wagon soon thanks to this thread.
welcome aboard and thanks for the good words :jointsmile:Quote:

I do know HPS and the LED do work well together but since it is the last ballast left of my HID equipment I'll probably just box it up and save it for who knows what but the point being i still have it to play with but for now things are running pretty good...i'll shoot some new pics tonight of the progress. :DQuote:

the last 3 pics~these have another 2 weeks to go :jointsmile:
LOL I read the day 15 part and looked at the pix with the buds in them, and I almost shit a brick, I didn't see the first pic of the beginning to flower plants, lol. I was about to say, man, those LED's are doing work. Nice nugs.

Are you on a tight schedule? Wondering if letting 'em go an extra week or two would be worth the wait...?
Looking good though. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
hahaha! Wouldn't that be great! :jointsmile:Quote:

and if you don't mind, where did you buy the WEX units?
thanks :smokin:
they are 4" x 40"...i bought mine direct from the factory....you can yahoo me or skype and i can give you the details :thumbsup:
Nice stuff Stra8 cant wait til I move bro so I can have more room....:thumbsup:
great setup. ive been wanting to jump on this band wagon for awhile now. joined this board just so i could subscribe to this thread. how do i obtain these wex-c150? i did a search online and i cant find anything. ive been waiting for the push to move led and i think this is what i needed. awesome stuff. btw how much heat are the 6 wex putting off?
heat is minimal...i run an electric oil filled heater and keep it on low to keep my room around 82-85 :DQuote:

Keep your eyes open, there's opportunity to show more than the internet that LEDs are now mainstream-ready.
BTW Cree just popped out a new white diode at 200+ lumens per watt of input power. HPS just got destroyed if they can get that quantum-dot efficiency out of monochromatic LEDs using the same tech. That means (without the QD phosphor layer) we could be seeing an equivalent unweighted 230lux/w radiometric power. GOODBYE HID.
your led's are beautiful man keep it up!:thumbsup:
Those LEDs are serious business! Your buds look great.
thanks guys :jointsmile:
heres some pics in progress
day 20 of flower in the first pics...feeding the House & Garden Nutes on this tray
week 7 and still pushing :smokin:
awesome stra8 !!! :thumbsup:
day 24 of House & Garden nutes...i have been feeding 2gal of nutes for 16 plants in 2 gal containers :D
forgetC~this is for you...i'm posting seperate pics for each tray :smokin:
beginning week 8 and plan on going another 10 days to finish these girls up! :pimp:
Did you run the top booster and if so what week and how long? Are you using shooting powder? If so how?
Your grow is looking really good. There getting chunky.
