Moody's first LED grow....

[moody420]

Alright, this is my first all LED GROW....

Previous grows:
600w HPS
portable air conditioner
various nutes (earth juice microblast, catalyst, grow and bloom, kool bloom, maxicrop, fulvic and humic acid and potash)
happy frog soil

*managed to grow good quality bud, not very high yeilds, heat was always an issue even with the portable air conditioner. I was running about 1400w of power. I have tried several strains. Blue dream is a favorite and I will be growing blue dream again under LED to really compare these methods....let's get it going! :jointsmile:

My LED grow:
150w LED....I have one right now on the vegging clones, and will be adding another 150w LED as I switch over to flower.
4 mini fans for circulation
mylar covered walls
House and Garden nutrient system for Coco
all coco medium

I have been inspired by several people on this board to give this a try....stra8, you have been ever so helpful and I'm excited to learn from someone so talented! I will try my best to update as often as possible....let's get this started! :jointsmile:

here a few pics of my closet with the new clones....

Sparks up a fattie and passes it around.:joint1:

I'll be the quiet one in the back:S1:

Consider me very very curious to take this trip.:S3:

so pleased to have you guys on board! :jointsmile:

I'm in. You're six week ahead of me so I'll be watching closely. Make us proud!

How many plants are you going to have in flower total?

[moody420]

right now I've got 2 strawberry kush and 4 blue dreams....I'm thinking i want to add 4 more of something....going to the club today or tomorrow to see what I can find!

I've grown Blue Dream 3 times under HPS so it will be cool to see the comparison between HPS vs. LED on that specific strain! :jointsmile:

Glad to have you along for the ride!

hey im in on this one i cant wait to see what leds can do

[bigsby]

Point of interest - are these from seeds or clones? Also, can you tell us a bit more about the strains you are using based on your previous grow? Short, tall, stretch, time in veg, time to flower, etc. I'll be interested to know if they preform differently during their cycles - i.e. do they need a bit longer in veg with the LEDs.

You've given me some motivation. I have a ton of stuff to get done before I am allowed to build my room - so the plumber and electrician are scheduled this week and I estimated my lumber needs for a wall that I promised to build as a prerequisite... Thanks!

Hey Bigsby....I am growing from clones. Typically I would veg anywhere from 2-4 weeks. I think I am going to play it by ear, but I'm expecting to start to flower around may 1st. Also, I don't think they veg any slower in LED. If anything, I have seen tons of new growth on these clones already and they have only been in since 4/8/10. So I'm pretty excited! :jointsmile:

Other strains I have tried in the past have been Grapefruit diesel, purple kush, querkle and white widow. Blue dream is the one that I've had the best success with which is why I'm sticking with it. And I feel I will be able to do a good comparison with HPS vs. LED with that strain since I have grown it several times with the HPS.

Strawberry kush is new for me, and I plan on adding another 4 plants....still deciding what strain...
