LED GROW SHOW

[stra8outtaWeed]

Okay Str8 Im doin it!!!!! im goin LED. I need to ask you some questions first!
Okay so first question. I dont have a huge set up and at the moment am not looking to grow more than 2 plants right now. I have done some reaserch on the whole Light Emitting Diode (LED) thing, But can I get away with getting a smaller LED light fixture and still have the same yeild on one plant?? I think I can but not sure...AND, What color lite do I use, blue,red,yellow,purple,orange,white, a combo of blue and red???? SO many COLORS!!!!! BUT from the looks of things on your end you look like you know what your doin.

Also do you still use a liteing schedual? 18-6 for veg? 12-12 for flower?
The hole reason for lite sched is for the proces of photosynthisis to occure, but with the LED the plant is allowed to photosynthasize as long as the lites are on and the right color/colors is used. So Im wondering if you use a different lite sched or the same. I gues Im just confused. Also very excited to get this whole LED thing goin!!!!!!!!

GORWGOOD!!

i run 22/2 in veg because i have one strain that wants to flower so i stay on a high light schedule. then i keep my flower on12/12... there are alot of things to look for in a good LED light but mainly having 660nm diodes which are the most expensive...key in effective flowering...you can hit my yahoo or skype and i can give you more! :jointsmile:

Every single time I hear "LEDs won't yield or penetrate" I show pictures of your grow. They almost universally shut up.

Keep up the awesome work!

Great informative thread, I registered to this forum to subscribe to THIS thread.

I recently got my card, so I've been doing my research on LED lighting for all the obvious perks. I was afraid to make the leap (especially on reading the MOUNDS of negative comments over the last 2+ years) but it finally looks like people are having success with LEDs...especially since the new tech has been out.

Thanks for posting this! I'll be on the LED wagon soon thanks to this thread.

Any further thoughts or decisions on the supplimental lighting we discussed, or are you still thinking on it? Might at least be worth a try before putting it up on e-Bay. Would suck to get rid of it, and find out later it was a killer combo, lol. :jointsmile:
