LED lights

[AndyBotwin]

Had to come over from another Forum to validate and clarify...

Everywhere else I am praised for how differently I operate vs all the other companies who make LED's.

For the record, this is absolute misinformation. There are maybe a baker's dozen sycophants that say anything good about her, most people know her as an ill-tempered, pseudo-shill with no class or business sense.

Cammie/LEDGirl/HydroGrowLED or whatever you wanna call her, has been banned or shunned/restricted on all but one of the major cannabis Forums (she currently paid for space and a 'LED Forum Moderator' position on ICMag). Even on my 'Home' Forum, 420mag.com, where she pays to be there as an advertiser, she has been politely asked to refrain from posting as a result of her inability to communicate properly.

We are currently conducting unbiased grow tests on her products to verify her outlandish claims (2g/watt, 1/2lbs 2ft plants, etc). To date, she has not been able to produce a complete, legitimate grow Journal from seed-to-harvest of her own. In fact, the one she actually started at my home Forum, was ended prematurely due to the fact that the plants were 'growing weird' - her words paraphrased.

Most of us are NOT so uninformed, despite what she might assume, and are supporters of LED technology, but skeptical of HER. When someone lacking class like her makes a splash on the Forums, members notice and logically question her claims and motives. She had no idea how to properly respond to this skepticism and only recently, since being instructed by our moderators how to act with patience and decency has she made any substantial headway with her 'company'.

(I have yet to see her give credit where it's due to anyone when they speak the truth or make a valid argument, so I highly doubt she has the humility to admit that it was only with the help of others, largely that of the Moderators at 420mag.com, that she has improved her interpersonal skills).

With someone like her, it's best to let the cannabis do the talking. That being said, grow tests are underway and unbiased results will be available in ~2mths. We should all look forward to this, since the prospect of growing great bud with LED lighting could very well be here!

Have you looked around and seen what people are doing with LEDs?
Or have you bothered to ask anyone using LEDs for an honest opinion of how they do with them?

OK, I'm going to tell you anyway.
Results with LEDs usually mean slightly less dense bud and just slightly less wgt, but more trichome production and increase in potency. Blind taste testers have always been able to tell the LED stuff was better. (sighted testers have not been used yet)
Another plus with the LEDs, no need to run duct work and use (in my case) a 400+cfm fan to cool them (more electric use). The LED setup raises bloom room temps a couple of degrees only above ambient. The other big plus, with less radiant heat generated your medium won't dry out as fast, instead of watering ervery other day the LED plants go a week. But that's not all....because less moisture is cooked off from the pots the amount of salt build up is reduce tremendously.

Here's a couple of pics of some LEDs. How about 2 TI problooms for a total power consumtion of 660watts vs 1150watts total for a 1kw HPS.

See, a side by side comparison of LED and HPS. I've actually used both.
(I also use T5s, love to overdrive them)

I agree the quality is better but it is till to soon to swich out your hps.I have 2 90 watt leds growth is veary slow but healthy dark and pure sugar.If using led i would do a small grow(cabinet) and stick a hair dryer in there every once and a while to make it thirsty and take up some nutes.This is just my opinion.These lights are awsome but do not compare to hps.I think with my set up i am going to run 2 90 watt into early flower then turn on a 400 watt hps while still running parts of the ufo spectrum in a 4x2x6 tent using see of green.The big mammas are just going to half to wait to be put in the dirt out side.
