LED growing- An instructional grow log
Well I don't know about you guys but I have been intently following the LED reports in High Times. Basiclaly the problem with LED lights is the diodes that they are currently using. I know that the LED UFO uses 445 nm reds and 627 nm blues. (Problem with this info. The nm info is taken straight from High Times. Needless to say if you know anything about the color spectrum I believe they meant to put 445 blues and 627 reds since red happens at the higher end of the spectrum.) It says right in the article that they would LOVE to use 660 nm blues but they are WAY too expensive. I cannot speak for the Procyon 100 but the LED UFO will cause higher amounts/more potent resin but also a decreased yield and lots of stretching. Greatest absoprtion SPECIFICALLY for cannabis plants occurs at roughlt 425nm and 660nm. If you can find a way to provide 5000 lm per sq ft of 425nm and 660nm I can almost guarantee that you will get similiar results to that of HID lighting. In fact I am about to have a friend wire me up a board of 100-150 LEDs in those wavelengths. I am also going to try and find a few other wavelengths close to those just for a broader spectrum.
Buyers, don't be afraid to invest in some LED lights once you feel you are confident in them. The energy savings alone will pay for itself within a very short amount of time. I am telling you guys LEDs ARE the future
