First grow. led

[quarteroy]

This is my first grow. I will be using one of the Chinese e-bay ufo's a 14w panel and 80w florescent tubes(only on 6 hours a day to hit the rest of the spectrum) the enclosure is covered in Mylar, there is a fan blowing directly on the plants. the soil is miracle grow organic with sand and worm castings in it. the ph is running about 6.7 I'm running 24/7 light for veg with 6 hours of the florescent. So far so good they are about 6 days after germination now (some of the plants first leaves are HUGE). Would post pics but I'm not sure how to or if I can yet. I have 6 plants all from some really good mids seeds. have lots of vertical room for the grow so I will probably let them get quite tall. Oh and all of you who are going to just say led's don't work keep it to yourself because SnSstealth's grow looked pretty good what convinced me to go led.(thx btw) well when I can post pics I will. questions just ask.

You mean, like this?


It's easy.
For PCs, just right click the album photo, choose copy, return to your post, place the cursor, and hit <control-V>
For the MAC it's even easier.
But I forget, so ask Weedhound or Lolagal.

Don't wanna hijack yer thread with my photos, so come visit my albums.

Can't wait to see if the Hong Kong UFOs are any good at all.
Any chance you can stick a light meter in there for a relative lumens reading?

IMO, from failure to grow, the 14W. "china panels" were worthless.

The future is fun.
The future is fair.
You may already have won.
You may already be there.

I'll be lurking.

Another LED enthusiast wishing you well on your grow. :thumbsup: Do you have a plan to separate the plants when they get bigger or are you gonna grow 4 in the same pot? (This might not work so well, there's a few threads about it ). Again, good luck! Subscribed! Hermie

quarter, might I recommend CFLs instead of the tubes? Being that your using the 14w ebay LED, your not gonna get too much power from em. When we (Im whiskeytango that used to post with Db under Snsstealth) used the procyons with the CFLs, we achieved damn near spot on HID comparable. 4 30W or even 23W CFLs would do ya great. at home depot you can get em in 5000k for veg, and 2700k for flower. Good luck!
good vibes


tagged...Ill be stickin around as Im sure Weez, and snsstealth gotcha covered!

[quarteroy]

Hermi yes i will be splitting them here probably in about 2-4 weeks when needed. just keeping them close together because I can keep the ufo closer to them when they are that far apart.

did you see the UFO whiskey? i was thinking about going with a single 100w cfl instead of the tubes but its only 20 more watts. the ufo is the main growing component though, you left that out its 90 watts the 14w is only supplemental along with the florescent.
