thanks for the well wishes! Yes, this is my first time using LED, but I have some really talented people walking me though it...so I feel very confident about it!

As far as saving power....well before I was running about 1400w (600hps and portable a/c). My SMUD bill was about $80-100 more a month....now I'm anticipating it to be about $20! I'm only using 150w right now....and only 300w once i start flowering. So about 1/5 of the power as before! big difference! And there is NO heat...NONE....no need for that big ass portable air conditioner! :jointsmile:

I do have pics of my blue dream from previous grows on my profile under 3rd grow....my 2nd grow album is pretty weak!

Other strains have been grapefruit diesel, purple kush, white widow and querkle...love the querkle! But i didn't do very good with it....it got root rot and powdered mold! yuck!

Anyways....thanks for joining the ride....I hope to impress! :jointsmile:

Interesting read on LEDs below. It is pretty basic but I know there will be many viewing hunting for LED information. Overall seems pretty balanced.

I can't wait to get my room built! I'm using your grow as my time line. I'm aiming to be 6 weeks behind you although 8 weeks seems more realistic. I hope my schedule doesn't slip. I'm laying sod this weekend (check), the wall is framed (check), drywall is ready to go (check), scheduled the plumber and electrician (it's panel wiring - beyond my pay grade... check, check). A bit of painting, slap on some trim, finish the floor and I'm good to go. I figure I can build it in a weekend.

Give us an update moody!

From your link:

" An LED grow light designer isnâ??t trying to reproduce sunlight"

That's why they're failing, speaking as an LED light designer.

What brand LED did you go with? I've been searching and everybody differs drastically in price and alot are not willing or don't know enough about the manufacturer specs. Im trying to focus on a LED grow, but still haven't decided how many plants I want to grow. Good luck
