my hopes and dreams have been dashed. k, well, what other places
would you recommend me trying out their led panels because the procyon-100
is just too expensive
well, hgl has driver driven currents on their 14w, would you recommend
them?

while I wont tell anyone what to buy I believe the Procyons to be your best choice. This site has lots of testing including the 14 watt kit your looking at . seems to do well but he stops early due to the small coverage area.

June 26th - Conclusion of Tiny Tim grow test.

The Tiny Tim has grown well. Over a foot tall and almost 16 inches diameter. The blossoms and roots are in great shape. I decided to end the grow test here on the Tiny Tim as the point of the test was to see if the 14 Watt light kit lived up to the claims. In my opinion, it did excellent. Supporting one square foot of growth seemed no problem. In 29 days, the 1 1/2 inch seedling grew to adult size claimed for a Tiny Tim. At this time, I felt the plant had achieved the size that one of these kits would support, which is the claim of Homegrownlights.com. Summary - Great light, no problems, easy to mount, no special power requirements. It runs cool and no problem with the leaves being in direct contact with the light. It would be a great light for growing multiple seedlings for later transplanting or adding more kits to support larger grow areas would be easy to do. The kit does require soldering of the LEDs which is easy if you have soldering experience. However, Homegrownlights will sell the kits assembled. See Homegrownlights.com for all details and also mutiple light discounts. I recommend this light if it will meet your needs and it's used according to the manufacturers recommendations. Thanks to Ryan at Homegrownlights for the willingness to send a kit for this test. Note: The Tiny Tim was moved outside in the dirt to see what will happen on a transplant.

HGL is also working on a 14w cree xlamp model, which ill be very interested in using as supplement light(next grow!)not sure when it will come out though

you're right about getting what you paid for. where did you purchase your procyon btw

[Opie Yutts]

Man you guys, you should see the stuff I read last night. All about LED lighting and plants. Best nanometers, UVA and B, deep red, far red, infrared, why plants need white, green and yellow. All kinds of pertinent info. I'll see if I can link you later. Yes I said green. Led grow lights are so far off optimum it's ridiculous. Who wants to start a real horticultural LED light company with me? I got a couple grand I might be able to invest, and some business savvy.

I have just got done reading every page in this thread, and I have to say, these lights do show some excellent potential. However, due to my natural bias against LED's for growing in general, I will remain slightly skeptical until the harvest, but I am open-minded. I will be following this log, and if the results are on par with HID/HPS yields and quality, I WILL look into incorporating these lights into a future grow. Money is not a problem, even though I don't have any most of the time, I'll leave that to some select investors.


Good job Stealth on venturing where none of us have gone before. You have my full support in this operation, and I eagerly await the results and some more pics.


I do have a question, however, I'm not sure if I missed the answer in trying to read the pages as fast as I could... Are you going to be using C02 and extra mollasses supplements in hopes of maximizing quality of your harvest?

[SnSstealth]

yes unknown, we will be using CO2 and succanant......
