Calling out to Weezard for LED advice

[Weezard]

Nice rhyme, but the answer is nothing; outdoor it takes at least twice as long.

Um, What?

But not in this case, because it looks like the one on the left has too little phosphor and tbh the one on the right doesn't look very happy either.

Huh?!
Sorry, I don't follow you.

I enjoy learning new things, but have no idea what you are saying here.
Do you mean Phosphor as in light, or did you mean Phosphorus?
What signs do you see here that I am missing?
Help an old fart out.

Of course leds have a great future, but this is not good enough.
Please don't shoot the messenger.:rambohead:

Whatever would I do that for?
Dead guy can't explain what he's on about, yah?

I can imagine the results would be great if you add intracanopylight and more blue (or UV ) would keep them smaller and bushier.

Actually, I'm about 2 weeks from a "bake-off" 'tween the UV and non-UV buds.
So, how can I make my plants as happy as yours, on a budget?

Aloha,

The plant on the left has very thin purple stems with a corky layer on the bottom. It looks like it suffers from phosphorus deficiency.
Both plants are a bit stretchy and have a lot of yellow leafs and the leafs don't have many fingers.
The plant on the right has curly leafs that point downwards.

Well, I really abuse my plants and do a lot wrong.
But I try hard and I guess the plants somehow catch up on that: :kisslove:
Probably the main reason why I get good results is I grow for my own smoke.


Back to leds.
In my room with two 300watt induction lamps I want to use leds for intracanopy lighting.
I was thinking 4 rings of about 25 watt under each lamp, 2 layers with 2 different diameter rings, with a broader mainly blue and red spectrum and very little green.
Unfortunately I don't speak solder well so I am looking for an easy way to realise this if there is one.

Weezard, this is probably somewhere else in this thread, but I was wondering if you know ir have the plans to the cake pan light on your comp. THat would be awesome. ALso if you have a site that actually sells all or most of these aprts. That thing looks awesome and I definitely want to ttry and build one.

Aloha Weezard!

I've been playing with my lights. My last attempt that you saw had a nice pythium attack and killed them!

I figured I would stick to soil until I've had a chance to fully test the lights. I am worred about the lumens that mine put out.

What does your 160W light put out? I'm thinking I might just build a replica of what you have (with your thoughts of any additional tweaks that you think would be nice)

Would you be willing to put together a parts list for me?

Ah! I see.

In this case, looks are deceiving.
She's got phosphorus to burn.

That strain just sunburns easily.
Can't fault you on da call though, you are at a disadvantage.
I get a 360 CU view,
When the anthrocyanins kicked in, my first thought was chemical imbalance too.
Then I looked at sun shading.

Indoor girl on the same diet has nice waxy green stem all the way around.

Both plants are a bit stretchy and have a lot of yellow leafs and the leafs don't have many fingers.

Both are clones of a stretchy strain, that's their normal leaf morphology and they have been on a low N regimen for blooming then flushed for 2 weeks prior to harvest.
I always get some yellow fans when I do dat.

The plant on the right has curly leafs that point downwards.

That, I'm still puzzling about, though it's prolly due to my neglect.

Yup, me too.
Well, me an' da wife.

There is!
Leds have arrived.
For a few hundred bucks you can have them built to order now.
Contact Ledtime for details.

Thanks for the input.
Everything helps.

I'll be happy to help.
The leds came from Mouser because they stock jus' about everything.

You should be able to sus-out the construction by looking at my album snaps and reading the first part of this thread.
When ya need a hand, we're right here.
First order of business?
Obtain a whopping big heatsink.

Sure, but the parts list is in this thread along with some caveats an' tips.
Might want to print out the good pages, go over them, and then post a list of questions.
