:smokin: cool! thanks, bro. not sure about how long you have to wait for the rep stuff, its all kind of a mystery on here. :stoned:

just noticed, is that arrows for tie sticks? :rasta: hope you don't mind me borrowing that idea. :greenthumb:

yes i used old arrows for supports....haha! be my guest bro! :rastasmoke:

my clones and vegging are all done under 80% red 20% blue flowering needs the other spectrums to mimic the fall season light!

Cool pics! Thanks for posting this, I have been wondering about LED lights. Lower power costs too I imagine?

yes...before LED's i was burning 2600 watts...2- 1000 watt HPS and 1 600w MH and cooling costs! Now i run 1250 watts of lights total and no cooling. I run heater in the winter to keep my temps around 80f. They have shaved off about $200 month in power. :thumbsup::jointsmile:

could you tell us about your clone chamber?

i started with the all blue LED panel...i call them the light bright model..haha! when a few LED's went out i looked at some LED bulbs and figured if anything went wrong they would be easier to replace with a standard srew in base. i got (2)7 watt all blue bulbs and one 10 watt blue/red then wired 3 ceramic bases together with a 2 prong plug for power. attached the bases to the underside of a shelf and made enclosure with mylar....i have the healthiest clones since switching to all LED from floro's. i found that some red is needed so that when your cuttings root they will begin photosynthesis making chlorophyl to stay green :jointsmile:

i think all 3 bulbs cost me about $80...the panel's are a waste of money in my opinion..i only use it because it has not died yet!

how far from your cuttings are your LEDs? LED floodlights?spotlights?brand?i think a new clone light would be a good way for me to step into the world of LEDs.

about 7-8 inches above my clone canopy

i got the bulbs on ebay...started with all blue 7 watt and added a 10 watt 630nm red 460nm blue bulb ...i just did a search for "led grow lights" nothing complicated.

i am going to do another thread showing my whole set up in "grow rooms" just thinking that might be the appropriate place to continue this conversation! :smokin:
