LED growing- An instructional grow log

[hatch]

Ya, Sorry about the wall of text! Hey Opie Yutts you still in here? Hey what did I do wrong? When I typed you that reply, I had it all seperated like in some of your lessons, And also in different paragraphs and when I submit it , It ran everything together? I laugh every time I see your Avatar!!! Funny Shit eh. Tell me how to post it right next time Please Sir. Later

OK, Believe it our not but I understand your story. Put it this way, you have heard older growers say that when they use a MH to flower they get more potent smoke and more trich. In my maddness its the ultra violet through blue that the extra energy is coming from. With that said when we are using the HPS solo its more in the orange to red. Thats why you always here when they mix the MH / HPS in flowering they have a better finish. When HPS is alone its to high in the spectrum and thats where the extra energy is lost. The reason the HPS gets any results is the high output of lumens. Is that definition any help. Have we made a break-through? Maybe so maybe no? My patient are like a virtue! WE will keep tring till we get it staight. What's the dill with the headaches? High blood pressure, sinus? Man that sux! Later

I read the entire thing as well......twice.....and besides a nice definition of PAR I didn't read a single thing about either "stored" energy in the plant created by "the correct wave length" or frankly....ANY discussion on certain wavelengths of light creating "more thc or cbn" than any other type of lighting that is put at the correct distance.

This thread is very informative, less all the haters. I admire what he's trying to do here. Sink or Swim, everyone should tune in!!! I know I am... Besides, Iâ??m setting up a DWC bubbling bucket system, and Iâ??ve been leaning towards LEDâ??s to light it. You canâ??t beat the proâ??s, and if he fairs even remotely close to HID or HPS as fare as yields go, it will change the industry. :jointsmile:

Thanks for risking some cash for this experiment. LED's are more efficient than light bulbs, and use a lot less electricity. Another bonus is it's harder to triangulate on people by their electric bills.

This is all very interesting.

You plants look really healthy and happy so far. Good luck, friend!

My thoughts exactly! For those of us who live state side this is extremely important. :jointsmile:

Hey all,

(continuing with Opie's lighting names)

Could it be that "light 1" sends out much higher photon levels of A and Z so much so that they compensate for Q and S?

Is it possible to get spectrum related photon data (testers or charts)? I read somewhere during this expedition that a 1000w hps has about 120w or so of photosyntheticly (<-- is that a word...lol) useable light, most lost to heat(another damaging factor). So could it be possible with a higher lumen count hitting the plant of correct spec. to make more potent resin?

Just a second, heat affects resin greatly. How about the heat from HIDs prematurely destroying some CBs and Trichs? I mean just the mild heat created by pressing affects the outer crystals.

Just a couple more ?'s for our led theory page:wtf:

Welcome new2dro and angrynomad

Thanks all for reviewing pics. Theres starting to be more growth every time i look, which with how much i can control myself is pretty often...lol. more on wed. or thu.

Stealth!!!

as far as im concerned, your plants are looking very happy. keep up the good work and im sure you will be pleased with the results!:jointsmile:

SnStealth, I hope your grow will deliver you some pleasure, and I hope you wouldn't mind if I'll take part as critisist in this thread:rastasmoke:

Regularly it takes 3-5 days scince germination for seedling to open second set of leaves, how long took yours?
On last photos we can observe a little mutation such as leaf deformation and a 2finger leaf instead of 3, were these mutations in your garden earlier?
