LED Grow: 1st grow, 56W max, Northern Lights

grr i just changed my setup again, this is getting complicated

[physicsnole]

I'm not saying 5mm LED's are great but I was planning on making a 5mm array with drivers and all. It was a 1400 LED panel. Each LED about 6000mcd so a lot of lumens (but not as much compared to high power though). My design would probably have worked pretty well, probably alot better than yours however (not shit talking but I don't think yours is the best 5mm LED panel). I designed the circuit board and everything with a computer program. Ill try to load pics. I can give you files if you want to explore that path. 5mm are VERY cheap so you could have a real kick-ass 5mm panel for about $40.

oh please, be my guest and shit talk these panels all you want, they're just my "supplementary" lights now anyway
and yes, please do send me a copy of the files, i still am interested in led technology but
for now im just tryin to get some stash lol

How do you message on here? can you send attachments? an e-mail will work

hey maspino....now we KNOW about those panels...someone had to test em..(we did to..lol) do your other grows and get a procyon...lol

keep up the experimentation!!!!

[maspino1]

ooh yes, definitely got the procyon in mind
and we totally proved these panels wrong so that's 2 testaments to their inefficiency
im so happy now tht my plant is actually going to get bigger

[SnSstealth]

well at least you have SEEn what the procyon can do so far...lol, i trimmed the plants up...flowering in a weel!!!! pics on thread....

sweet! i can't wait to see how well it does

[maspino1]

OMG! HELP! i just took out the top cup with the plant in it and the roots are growing through
the drainage holes!! what should i do??
they're both white dixie cups so the light just shines through like
it's nothing, and i know roots aren't supposed to see light

[maspino1]

tonight i flushed my medium with distilled water and then foliar fed with a weak liquid karma and epsom salt solution
since i was getting burn on the edge of the older leaves
