I think the LED's are making progress, nice grow :thumbsup:

Still, without having the nugs in hand and trying the finished product, I don't think I'd make the switch from my HPS just yet

Some more info on the setup would be nice. What strain are you growing? Veg and flowering times? Yield?

[Weezard]

Very nice!
Wattage?
Colors?
Strains?

Aloha

Just to note, those lights seen are 6 cell units. On the site the poster gave on another thread, the 3 cell units are around $800, just to give readers a point of reference. They do look very nice though.

I think the only way I would be willing to use LEDS is for supplemental lighting at this point. I know some say the technoology is there...I want nice big and dense buds...I know my HPS lights can do that. :jointsmile:

I don't know, from what I keep hearing the LEDs make for frostier, better flavored nugs...Density isn't too much of a concern for me, I don't require much weight, but flavor and smoothness definitely are! When I get back into growing I'll be picking up some LEDs, especially since in my area it gets to around 125 F outside every summer...Seems like a substantial savings for ventilation and electricity costs.

It was bubble blueberry. The lights have 4 different types of emitters on board. Each three CEL runs 64 watts through my "killowatt" meter and I used two to flower (128 watts total). 18/6 veg and 12/12 flower. It took about 3.5 months start to finish from a clone. About .875 gram/watt min yield. Very potent and super smooth product. Im still a pretty "green" grower so any advice would be helpful.

Mahalo!
"Im still a pretty "green" grower so any advice would be helpful. "

I'll take yer word for da pretty.

The green makes me curious though.

Why green leds?


I'm quite happy with blue and red.

As for advice?
Lose the Hydrotron and look into coco coir.
It's a good medium for led growing.
I do have some experience with both.
And have posted hints with my album pictures.

Aloha.

i can't see the pictures here...the net won't open them...but i am with Weez...why the green LED's...they sell green lights so you can enter your flower room during dark cylce w/o interupting the plant...so if a plant cannot see the green wavelength's why include it in your setup?

[rtgcel]

beta carotene needs green light.
