LED GROW SHOW

Real nice ladies :greenthumb:\
Goes to show what LED's can do...

I have been looking into them as supplemental lighting and now that i see these beautiful ladies i will have to look more into them.

Did you build those panels yourself or purchase them?

Thanks:jointsmile:

thanks bro!:rasta:

i like the power of the 3w LED's and the spread design over the "1w panels" or UFO lighting...it wasn't totally easy to pull my 2 1000w HPS out...took time to gain confidence or i should say if you watch your plants close enough they tell you what they like! :thumbsup:

i have 2 procyons and 1 WEX-C150 80%630nm 20%460nm in veg

i run 4 WEX-C150 5 band 50%660nm 10%630nm 10%600nm 20%460nm 10%3500k white and 2 WEX-C150 80%630nm 16%460nm 4%3500k warm white in my flower room.

Very, very nice LED garden, str8. I really want to expand the role of LEDs in my operation - this is inspiring.

somebody called bullshit on me that these lights would not produce quality bud! :wtf:

i am still at a loss here. i see what they are doing, and it looks okay. but i've seen buds under an HID put on much more weight from day 20 'til day 40. that was under a 400W HPS. not to mention you are running 9 lights that cost $450+ a piece. i just don't see the savings or benefit as of right now.

9*450= $4050!!!!!! and i'm pretty sure the procyons cost more than $450 each.

i'm not knocking your grow, the plants look good. everything is straight. i'm just not ready to jump on the band wagon just yet. i mean if LEDs were the way to go EVERYONE would be using them. again, i think we are getting closer with the 3W LEDs. (are those wide or narrow skirt?)

if dealing with head is an issue i completely understand, but other than that i'm not ready to get rid of my HID just yet. not to mention, homemade arrays can be built MUCH cheaper!

i would love to play with some LEDs and do a side by side comparison. i'm the type that has to get my hands dirty, ya know?

keep up the good work my friend and keep pushing the envelope. eyes are starting to open.

i do have a fair amount invested...the procyons were more like $600 ea

if you are just looking at this current grow i left too much on the bottoms this grow...as i said still learning how to max the bloom...last run was really good quality :stoned:

i am saving an average of $200/mo in power and not replacing (2)1000w Hort's every other grow at approx $500/yr...1 year i have saved $2900 in costs that have to go out to keep the grow going irregardless and i do admire all of the folks that have built there own because LED's life is over 10 years of 12/12 and in that time that is $29000 of bulbs and power that i saved. :jointsmile:

i was in the same place you were shake~no worries! :hippy:

Those are some solid figures, but again, with shake, I have nowhere near the funds to get 9 $450-$600 plus lights, but like my previous post, amazing nugs, definitely looks like a nice smoke.
