now for the updates...havent gotten a regular bulb in the grow room yet...and its getting harder to pick the ladies up and take them in another room for pics...lol. so we tried sepia and black and white pics....tell us what you think.....you already know they are green..lol, but tell us if you would rather the pics be in "real" color. 15 days into onset...they seem to be moving quite fast IMO...lights maybe good for flowering too?...according to the charts below, we are dead on for blue, and there is a spike at 630, which is where we are in red, but almost 100% is at 660ish...so we may supplement some 660s for the next grow.

Thanks soooo much for that chart. I and several others owe you one, or two. I think I want to play with it in photoshop to find the exact numbers of the peaks like I did with the other charts I posted. If I do, I'll post it in the other thread (physicsnole's).

I think I like the sepia better than B&W, but I don't know if I like it better than actual color. I think I'm leaning toward color. I think the best would be if you could wait until just after the lights go out, or just before they come on to take the pictures. It will not affect the plants, if you are worried about that. The plants aren't going to know if they got 12 hr. of light or 12 hr. and 2 seconds.

no problem opie, and good point, girls are getting to heavy to carry out...lol do pics then from now on.

Very impressive! Definitely the best LED grow I've seen yet. Opie and yourself are definitely 'shedding some light' on the subject! I didn't think the technology was here yet, but I stand corrected. I was a nationally certified electronics professional for a few years, so this is extremely interesting to me. Your plants have great color too! Anticipating the finished product... Excellent job Stealth!
