LED growing- An instructional grow log

[SnSstealth]

opie the only link I can give you is to go to your local magazine shop and purchase this months issue of Hightimes magazine.
i dont have it in front of me but they do three separate grows with the UFO compared to a 400mh, a 400 hps and a 600 hps. and they CLAIMED that it produced around the same as the 400 hps. That is all i know. maybe you can get it at there site

What do you mean they claimed? Don't you get to see pictures or something? Could someone please scan the comparison photos and post them here so that I may, for my first time ever, see an all LED grow that rivals HID? And this is weed, right? I'm not interested in tomatoes or peppers. The nearest High Times is a 2 hour drive.

The extra energy from the correct spectrum is stored and then turns to suger

What extra energy are you talking about? Where in that spectrum did it come from, as opposed the the same spectrum in an HID lamp, or a CFL? And which one is the correct spectrum? Lil confused over here. I didn't know that had been discovered yet.

5000 lm @ 16" to 18" with 2'x7' coverage=$1822 not 4000. (2' wide because of walls)

But I was talking about the amount of light that it takes to get those huge dense colas we sometimes see pictures of and rarely get to grow. = $4000.

ill see if i can get them up for ya opie...it spread over 3 issues....anyone else having problems doing pics last few days

[SnSstealth]

opie I thought ive seen lm charts showing 2000 lm as growable but small, 3-5000 good grow range. and 7000 and above was overkill. I know those term are not nearly scientific enough for you and im going from memory UH-OH...lol do i have the numbers wrong?

Please don't worry about getting all scientific on my ass. I aint that book learnt.

And that would be wonderful if you could show me (us) the comparison photos, but I didn't know that they were spread over 3 issues. Seems like a tad bit of trouble, so I won't be the least bit upset or disappointed if you don't.

I have read the last two LED reports. They reported a smaller yield (due to a smaller amount of lumens being output by the light) and higher resin counts. The pics of the bud was pretty damn sticky looking. They used the LED UFO. Basically they aren't even using what they should be and they still got good results. No one is arguing that the money isn't there yet but, and I can't speak for anyone else, I for one am arguing that you can get better results given you match the same amount of lumens as an HID.

wooooooooosah.....pics are from this morning...and appear to have let me post....YAY...the internode gaps look good...babies are BRIGHT green unless thats my eyes from being in the grow room...do they look greener than avg? any differant from a HID? guess i shoulda done side by side...even if we did like 2/3 LED and like a 2x2 with a 400HPS...maybe next grow...unless......we get a dank harvest...fingers crossed...hte first pics i posted were 6 days ago...so they might be going a wee bit slow...tell me what you guys think....any differant looking than normal?
