Moody's first LED grow....

[Charbud]

Sup moody. Noticed you and StaightOuttaWeed both growing with LEDS. How you finding them ? Im looking to get a 120 watt Panel soonish. Any advice on purchasing ? brands ? where you got yours from ? Keep em green.
Respect

Aloha Charbud.

You asked:
"Any advice on purchasing ?"

My unsolicited advice?

Look for high-power emitters.
1. and 2W. leds are a bad choice for blooming.
(For reasons see "penetration misunderstood" on the IC.)
So, avoid Hydro-grow, UFOs, etc.
StraightouttaWeed is using lights with 3W. emitters that are blooming up a storm.
I have yet to see any commercial lamp hold a candela to my homebrew 15W 660s. but his come close.

Weeze, out.

I'm no techy like weez....I have a hard enough time setting my timer correctly! :jointsmile:

But I do want to answer Charbuds question....I am using the WEX 150w LED. I have 2 of them in there now for flowering since I am doing 10 plants this time. With 2 lights I can do up to 16 plants no problem. Stra8 did help me out with purchasing and he is very knowledgeable when it comes to LED's. They cost $450 each which i don't think is alot considering what they can do and price comparing them with HPS. My closet has been staying at a good temp WITHOUT the use of A/C and my power bill has dropped immensely! So those are all things to take into consideration also. Anyways, feel free to hit me up on yahoo IM if you want to chat about it. I will also try to update my log as often as possible for those of you trying to learn from others! :jointsmile:

Aloha Moody,

Didn' mean to 'jack, but dat question jus' dragged 2 cents outta me.
An' those WX... are the lights I was recommending on the strength of str8's grow.:greenthumb:

T'anks fo' da techy tag, but I is jus' a lizard.
An' a lazy one at dat.
I only learn as much as I need, to do what I need to do.
I'm seriously under-educated as a result.
But, like Paul Simon says; "My lack of education hasn't hurt me none.":jointsmile:

I'll desist now.

Aloha

Oh Weezard....your advice is welcome always on my threads! You are part of the reason I switched to LED's! You are mad talented! And just because someone isn't "formerly" educated doesn't mean you aren't smart! I think your grow logs are genius and even jacked a couple ideas from ya! :jointsmile:

Feel free to chime in and advise....I am still learning myself! I am proud to be part of the LED revolution that's coming! :jointsmile:

[moody420]

I flipped the lights yesterday (5/10/10) starting the flower cycle. So things should start getting exciting!!! I've attached a few pics of the babies all trimmed and staked....ready to go! :jointsmile:
