heres some pics from my 100% led experiment

[ForgetClassC]

haha yeah, ive been scroungin up money seein as im in college and dont got a job, but i think we are actually going to buy a cheap bathroom vanity light, with 3 sockets, buy 3 y dual adapters and through 6 daylight CFL in that bad boy, hopefully that should help them

That should work fine.Cfls are a sure thing, my man.I've pulled quite a few nice harvests with some pure indicas and cfls. And thats the route I would go if cost were an issue.I mean, being in school with no job sucks.Been there.And this led thing gets pricy.Keep your eye on the tek, you'll see prices on the current tek drop as soon as 5-10-15w diode systems become more commercially available.Then you'll be able to pick up a top of the line ufo for like 50 bucks.Even the crap led products, and there are too many, are ridiculously expensive.But there is nothing wrong with cfl's, they do a great job.

awesome, well, we are going to homedepot today so ill post some pics in the forum so you can take a peak, thanks for the help again, lata

cool, I love homedepot always plotting my next project when I'm supposed to be looking at a grill with the missus, or picking out bathroom fixtures.And thats whats so awsome about cfl- versatility. I would def go 5000k or 6500k-mess around thats the fun part.We're not cash croppin here, just some good old boys trying to grow some dank in small spaces.I cant freakin wait til its legal.

amen to that beef74

Very interesting and looks like fun. We'll know when the LED development has reached the level of hps when the commercial growers start using them. I think they have a ways to go though. But yours is the best example I've seen yet.

thanx grey, but it will be a while before people start cash croppin- right now with your standard 1w diode units it's just not happening.Just for the little guy right now.But if your willing to put out the cash, you'll be rewarded with a cool,continuous yielding- clean- system. Heat was my biggest obstacle- now thats gone.No more 400 every 2 weeks for top grade herb.I'm happy with it.And I'm glad you caught on to the fun factor of it.Thats what it's all about.

that should be one of the ten commandments, thou shall growith pot if he so wants to smoke-ith it.


BTW this is what we got when we went there last time hopefully this tag works:

awesome, it did

good set=up with the bulbs. I would pack some more medium around the stems and gently tie down the stretchier plants-train em while they're young.And get those cfls to within a couple inches of the tops of the plants.This should thicken those stems up.Keep up the good work- your plants have a home now, make them happy in it.Good to see persistance, and motivation on your part- the keys to success. peace

Hi Beef74,
So you recommend the U.F.O.s over the panels? Any particular reason?
I used to partake in the hobby with a 1000W HPS light. Heat and my electric bill were always concerns. I'm interested in getting started again, and I think LEDs would be the way to go. What do you think I would need to see similar results to a 1000W HPS?
Thanks!
