here is my 90watt tri ban ufo. they are sativa/hybrids. the two on the left are super skunk, the two on the right are shiva skunk. temps are real high 92-92F*. dont have a A/C so they are going to have to deal with it, they dont seem too stressd out from the heat. theY are two weeks into flower today. my last plant i go 2 onces from this 90watt. it was a purple strian and i fimed it.
They look perfect! Well done:thumbsup:
thanks:thumbsup: it would be alot better if i wasnt so hot.
hear are some newer pics of my 90w led grow they are 3 weeks into flowering today. i am still dealing with high temps of 90-100F* ive never grow sativa's in door they get big.
hears a few more at 3 weeks into flowering.
Lookin' good! Keep on keepin' on w/ the LED's!
I'll be checking in.
thanks!:thumbsup:
hear are my new pic's of week 4 flowering with a 90w led ufo
looking very nice. i'm along for the ride.
i've been thinking about getting some LEDS, at least for veg.
-shake
Yea I thought about experimenting with some LED's myself, considering the heat output is minimal so that would help out my situation PERFECTLY!
How much did that thing run ya potofgold? What size is that grow box/room?
i got the 90w for $300 when it came out, but its old modle now. now they have the 5-ban leds i just bougth a 180w 5-ban led with a big disscount because this was my 2nd by from the same company. my room right now is a 3x3 but will be a 6x6 after this grow. keep in mind my temps where 95-100F* in this grow and their still doing good. the pics dont do justice. this company gives you 90days to try out their light if u dont like them take no questions asked. if u do a side by side grow with their leds vs. hps they will give u 50% off. if u do a grow log they will give u 25%off. hear is where i bought them from LED Grow Lights from ProSource Worldwide - LED Grow Lights w/ 5-Band Tri-Spectrum design. Newest technology available.
very intrested in your grow with these LED
good luck
thanks:thumbsup: wait untill i get this 180w my friend has one and he is getting huge buds all over. that 180w is going to change led growing.Quote:

today i get in my 180w jumbo ufo. to take the place of my 90w tri-ban ufo. so i thought i would take some pics of my plants today while their still under the 90w. these pics are a total 90w tri-ban grow. they have not seen the 180w yet. latter on i will post a new reply with pics from the plants when they are under the 180w so we can see the difference.
rember these pics are ony from the 90w tri-ban. on sat it will be 5 weeks into flowering.
it's finally hear first thought cant see!! too brite, that thing is waaaayyyyyyyyyyyy briter then the 90w. and the foot print is way bigger now my plants have all the room in the world. i spread all four of my 4ft girls way out so the don't touch and i still have plenty of foot print left. i have the light about 18inch's from the top of the canopy. hear are some pics of the 90w vs. 180w
i am going to sale my 90w tri-ban ufo that i used for this grow. i dont need it anymore since i got my new light in. make a offer and the higst offer take it. just wanted to give a fourm member the chance befor i put it on ebay.
why not use both lights?
thats what I would do.
I am supprised by how nice the buds look.
my dad is really looking into LED lights.
myself too.
nice grow thanx for sharrin.
:thumbsup:
i will have more light then i need now because i am about to buy another 180w. so with 2 180w i dont need the 90w anymore. thanks for the complament on my grow.:thumbsup:Quote:

or mabey just a wast of energy...
two 180 watt LED lights, ur lucky.
have you used an hps before? just wondering how you think they compare?
I am thinking about getting some LED lights to help out my hps.
they are crazy expensive.
you think its worth it?
let me get this straight.
your using two 180 watt LED's in a 6X6 area?
it would be too much light with the 90w led. you can have to much light spec and lockout ur plants. ive used 1000w hps befor. and the 1000w hps will win. but it was alot cheaper on the bill from engry, bulbs, and a/c to fight the heat from the hps. the tri-ban with the hps will work great, but the 180w 5ban i have will do more harm then good with hps. its like it not wise to use mh and hps on the same crop at the same time it dose more harm then more good. and if anyone thinks i am wrong ive done test with mh and hps and so has edd rosenthal, and it decresses yeild.Quote:

"you can have to much light spec and lockout ur plants"
do you have a link with more info on the subject?
you also think mixing HPS with LED is bad?
( I have only used HPS for flowering and t5 for vegin so have not done any testing yet, i will soon; to have more fun :))
Yet I am thinking of throwing an LED into my flower room along with my 400 watt hps. I am using a few cfl's hung verticaly for supplementary lighting right now. The plants seem happy and at peace. my temps never get above 82. That sucks about your temp. You think an inline fan or two might help, or you already doin that.
photosinthesis gets pissed off when ur in the 90's :(
I notice different parts of the plant look and grow different depending on what kind of spectrum of light I have on them. (I kinda go by the kelvin on the bulb, might be a little lame.. but still interesting) I want to see what type of changes take place with an LED.
(I look at my plants with a natural light when examinin them) I am not just lookin at a blue light red light thing...
I wish I had a house and could send sunshine to my flower room using fiber optics. That sounds like more of a future to me...
how much you askin for the LED?
I am also lookin forward to new pics, Your plants look great right now :thumbsup:
I need to start a grow log on here so people can see my setup :(
it can lock out chlorophyll A if to peer of light is taken in. or something like that? i dont think mixing led with hps is bad.. but mixing hps with a 5ban led is bad.. the tri-ban will do fine. i have some friends that study leds and the tested the new 5 ban with a hps and it locked out the plants. and the led did better by its self and the hps did better by its self. ya my high temps suck, but they still look good for the heat stress they went threw, just wish i could see what they would have looked like right now with normal temps. if ur going to buy leds do ur homwork because their are alot of shitty leds being sold out their. like ebay ect. i did tons of resurch on my leds befor i bought them. just make a offer on my light the higest bidder takes it. or if i like the offer from the geco i might take it.Quote:

Carotenoids are required for plant health due to their ability to absorb destructive free radicals, both from solar damage and from chlorophyll production, whose precursors will damage plant tissue in the absence of the carotenoids. During research we found that test plants turned a deeper green, i.e. produced more chlorophyll, with the addition of our SunBurst Orange light component. This ability to increase a plant's chlorophyll content with this specific light wavelength is an important aspect that will enable the plant to achieve optimal vegetative growth ( your internodes will be much tighter & prevent stretching due to the plants ability to absorb the light it requires and thus doesn't stretch while looking for light that it craves ) this added ability will also increase flowering production.
thanks man! ya you should start a grow log and let me know when u doQuote:

I think you would have a faster and larger yield.
think of one plant growin outside in the sun. that's alot of light. now go six feet up the plant and two feet up the plant. now do that under an LED, HPS or watever... is there a yield difference? i am off topic and rammblin sorry.
i ratter test out my 180w by its self and see the diff. then just add another 180w on my next grow and call it good.Quote:

your lucky. I wish i had that cash..
3!!!
have you thought of any of the other lights on that sight. I checked it out. It was cool.
that 700 watt one. thats crazy.
you can give me a price...
maybe if i dont sale it i will rock all 3 led lights on my next grow. but for now i just want to test out that 180w by itself and see what it can do to my girls. i figure if that 90w can do what it did so far then the 180w should do great over my girls. i know with hps or sun, more is better. but some reason too many leds hurts yeild. thats what ive read/ talked to some of led makers. i dont know for sure but dont want to test it on my girls now. ill test this on the next grow so i can catch it befor its latter in the flower stage.Quote:

I hope I'm not being an ass and I hope you don't mind me barging in here, but I have to ask some questions about the whole "light lockout" thing you mentioned earlier.
Is that suggesting that somehow LED's have become so powerful that they are stronger than natural sunlight? To my knowledge nothing compares to sunlight, and I've never heard of a cannabis plant getting too much sunlight. Can you post some info, or where you heard that?
Logically, I just can't wrap my mind around it. Light lockout?? Maybe it's like string theory, or the googoplex, and my human mind just doesn't have the capacity for it, but I'm smelling something afoot here.
like i said i dont know for sure but heard it..from talking to led makers.. i am not saying that leds are stonger then the sun; because nothing is stonger then the sun. but with leds you have spacfic wave lenghts and too much or a centin wave length can shut down chlorophyll. i think its the blue spec? but not sure and cant rember. the sun just give the right amount not to shut down chlorophyll, but leds can give too much and shut it down or slow it down. i guess its kinda like when you mix MH with hps at the same time, it slows down your plant and affects yeild. like i said i am not a led maker but was just saying what i heard, and stating why i dont want to add my other light to my grow right now.
I think this only happens when you have the led to close to the plant
is this answer you just copied and pasted from a website? agian, no one has came across a sunburst orange LED while browsing LED manufacturers.Quote:

maybe i'll start a website. lol. anyone want to buy cheap UFOs?

hey why dont you go fuck ur self and stop hating/bashing others threads? i dont know why other poeple have to do shit like that? eat my fat dick and go fuck your mom. make a custome led 1/3 the price i paid see if i give a fuck. why you have to even waist your time post bull shit like that on my thread where i am trying to post my grow log? thats a dick move right their.Quote:

i was merely asking you a question. all of a sudden you start going into indepth, scienfitic stuff. i was merely asking if those were your words and thoughts or what?
then i saw that they were copied and pasted from a certain website. fine. i was merely talking about those statements from that website....that just so happened to be posted in your grow log. i am sorry for not being more clear.
so next time, step back from the keyboard, take a hit and read what is written. don't try to guess what is inferred. if you have a question, ask. i'm a straight-up dude. i'll answer it. i don't need to try to allude to something, i'll tell ya. just like i'd tell ya to your face. i don't need to hide behind a keyboard and talk trash.
agian, my apologies for not being more clear in my post. that tends to happen sometimes. i start typing, my brain starts running, i have to swith my posts around. sometimes they aren't clear and concise (maybe i should go back and re-read them more).
with that being said, if anything, the fact that you can get the same thing cheaper should have provoked thought. "hmmmmm, i can get this cheaper? where? how?" you know what i'm sayin? that could even make you money.
damn, i'm an asshole. lol.
anyhow. dude, i don't, haven't and won't ever degrade or talk shit to someone for no reason. not my style. all i try to do is help around here. make this place better, ya know?
sorry for rambling. be easy.
