LED growing- An instructional grow log

[SnSstealth]

okie dokie...update.... pic 3 is the mutant plant that keeps sprouting 3 leaves at each node instead of 2. the first two pics are our test plant thats been in most of the pics... this thing is only 9 in tall? its putting all its energy it seems into side branches and lateral growth...you guys think i should go bush with them? opie, WH? help...lol Im supposed to flower in 12 days...think Im being paranoid? 13 days...maybe 15 in tall then? but with 4-5 branches already...I topped 2 of them, to see what would happen....we shall see...:smokebong: other than the growth pattern, they look healthy as hell to me...they stink already too...mmmm love the jack herer...raised the lights yesterday, so maybe we will get more vert growth....bong

thanks dodo:jointsmile:

im gonna follow this thread....nice idea, props for experimentation, the plants look beautiful

[SnSstealth]

had to rip 3out today...(sniff)...lookin sicky, had a wierd coloring going on...light fuzzy green...bacteria my guess, so i got em out and flushed the others so it didnt spread....Ima go smoke in sorrow......

had to rip 3out today

damn that sucks. how many were there?

[SnSstealth]

23....now we are down to 20, in 15 pots.....got some doubled up, when i sex them, i would rather cut one out of a pot, than lose a whole pot....should be ready to flower in 10 days-ish. what do you guys think is causing the low vert growth, but mad side growth? having a temp problem for nite time, its about 77 daytime and 70-72 nighttime...having trouble getting night colder, there has been a cold front here in FL, and the A/C aint kickin on.....

SnSsteath, Plant''s look great!! Good and tight node's, What is that one, 6 or 7 in 2"? How many SQ.FT are you getting coverage for 1 light? Look's Great , I feel your project is running weel! and are headed for great result's. Later

i can't wait for you to start flowering! :dance:!

Hatch, I guess I was looking for something like this. It's based on the several days I've spent on and off, trying to figure this out. I've read charts, graphs, forums, articles, and results of experiments, until my brain started oozing out my eyeballs. As far as I know, there's unfortunately nowhere that comes right out and says, "these are the required wavelengths and percentages thereof for an optimum LED weed grow array". It's not for a lack of looking though.

UV: 275,290,310 5%
Blue: 412,440,470 20%
Green: 499 5%
Yellow: 566 2%
Amber: 613 3%
Red: 645,660 60%
Far Red: 730 5%

Until I can figure out something better, those are my dream wavelengths. Would anyone else like to share with the class?

Yes Opie, I'm right there with you on the Wave's, Even some-point's not that big of % but are needed for good health.

Those are the exact wavelength's I'm tring to work with, and blend the correspondent voltage. Great Work, Great Chart!

I Like The Good side growth, I need to set my plinom baffle, I looked in one of my chamber's and it is getting down to 63-65, and some are stretching? daytime 78-83.

I wonder if the nown vert. growth, from lack of High Intinsity flood? And in your colour more mellow soak array? Witch I think is a good thing not bad. AnyWay Thumb's up looking good!!. Later

are the LED lights expensive? how hard are they to work with?
