LED growing- An instructional grow log

[SnSstealth]

they got FAT stems...dont think the T5 would help for the cost...we may just add a few $60 14w cree kits from the guys who did our procyon...or get physicsnole to build it for us....lol

I think you will really like the array design im thinking. cover the entire surface of one of these heatsinks Bonded Fin/ Standard Parts with the luxeon rebels (only 3mm*4.5mm[13.5mm^2], 0.12"*0.18") and the LedEngin 10W and 15W LEDs(both 7mm* 7mm, 49mm^2). I was thinking of using one of those heatsinks with a width*length*height of 305 mm*371mm*152mm (12"*14.59"*6") , thats 113,155mm^2 cooling area with dual 100cfm fans. on that 113,155m^2 we could fit 8000 luxeon rebel LEDs or 2000 10W LedEngin LEDs!!!!:rastasmoke::rasta::thumbsup::wtf::hippywith proper ventilation and cooling). the °C/W rating is .028°C/W, so for it to get 28°C hotter than it would have to receive 1000W of heat energy from the LEDs, voltage regulators, whatever needs to be cooled.

and maybe once i get some funds we could use water cooling systems (like this radio shack one but on a larger scale[will be much cheaper to make]) RadioShack.com - Computers: Components & parts: Cooling systems: Bigwater 735 Liquid Cooling System

What is the cost of this and what is it comparable too? 50 Procyons:thumbsup:.. LOL Good Luck Ill order your first one. I'm looking for all new equipment... When your not confused LOL

T5 are a great source for SUPP Light for Veg or Flower Stealth 54 watt flowering 24 Watt Veg High Output Ballasts

what about the fluorescent bulbs ?? Cheap to buy and operate and cool running too. Do they work just as well ??

When your not confused

what the fuck is that supposed to mean

other than our 2 bothersome ladies, i cant really be happier!! I cant remember a grow i have ever done where there was this many glands a sparklin this early:jawdropper:...cant wait to see the end...almost there! thanks again to everyone who has been here, helping and giving ideas, happy comments, and even criticism. I totally forgot to get a pic of the bonsai i am flowering, i started to bonsai her in hopes of being a mom, but she is getting flowered instead..got some crazy shit for next grow:thumbsup:
fed em today with grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, beastie blooms, and for the hell of it since we got a sample free, threw in some Sweet.. I'll go buy my succanant when this sample runs out.

a few of the plants have like 40-50% red hairs already...any ideas? no seeds, and its still weeks to early

They Look Perky & Healthy, Glad to see You still on Good Schedule. Good Luck on Your Finish!!!~~~~~:rastasmoke:

your a pioneer man dont stop shit. next time drop the light and note results. but whatever you do here is paving the way so no one can tell you anything your going to be like a jorge cervantes of led man. and other than that ive had plants that seemed to shoot out pistols mature then shoot another set pistols half way through flower before they really started to nug up could be cross strain. but whatever you do finish all the plants in this experiment we all want and are going to need this info, my buds dont get fat till like last 2 weeksof flower

I think hes referring to your "current mood"(next to avatar)...lol

T5's are great i guess. but this is a LED forum. I am growing with LEDs only. My supplemental light...LEDs. If you wish to add both, awesome..It will work fine. But myself, doughboy, and physicsnole are gonna get this LED thing down, and WILL be the definitive "experts" on LEDs.:angry3: I dont see what physics is confused about, He probably knows more than doughboy and myself on the technical aspects of this. Unless there is someone out there with a grow better than ours, I think we kinda know what we are doing.
anyways, sounds like a plan physics:jointsmile: We can talk more when ya come this way:joint1::weedpoke: brainstorms are great!

thanks for all the kind words guys..and again CFLs, and T5s are great for what they are, we are just gonna be pure LED until we have this thing perfected:thumbsup:
