LED EXPERIMENT - BLUE DOMINANT FLOWERING

[TerraPharma]

Soon enough, you may not even need the soldering iron! I think we'll get snap-together stuff sooner or later!

I'm surprised there isn't any snap together stuff.

If there were...

Would you rather individual LEDs? Or clusters, say nine blue, or nine red?

Individual clusters would be my preferred method. Some panel makers have already hit upon that idea but they're also not doing it how I would do it, so I've got some room to play around and super-improve design.

Although, in very small areas, individual diodes might offer the better choice.

...because if I could customize a standard size single LED grouping like L3g0, I'd be building it right now. RIGHT now. Be even nicer if there were standard power supplies that were generically attachable...

One of the reasons for the insane amount of innovation in the PC (computer) arena is the level of interchangeability, not the very few instances of proprietary protectiveness...

Quick note - Some of the fan leaves are forming trichomes right to the tip of the leaves. I'll get pictures when I get my camera batteries charged.

Looks good. And, yeah chargem' batteries.

I wanna see how beautiful they are. So your set up is two seperate LED light with single color each? That's one route that sounds good, I've been curious of putting a small motor and putting my LED lights on a slow rotation. I wonder if that helps balance out the plant getting what light it needs the most whenever it feels it needs that spectrum being thrown at it- has anyone ever tried this? Just throwing that out there...

Nah, I'm using two colors in each lamp, there's just way more blue than red diodes.

Update time. Even though I have better airflow for this box, I'm getting the same kind of issue as with the other plants. I'm using a weaker nutrient solution as well, and it's well-balanced. Very odd.

But the buds are coming along! Nice and frosty. When I can find a regular light powerful enough to outshine the LEDs, I'll take some real-color photos. Or maybe when I do the next tray cleaning. I tried to get a closeup of fan leaves developing trichomes all the way down, but it's tough to make out in the images.

Try using your flash on the camera lol. It should be many times brighter than the LEDs. Works for me...

Interesting experiment by the way, im eager to see the final product.

No such luck. Even that 30w of LED is brighter than the flash, and my Coleman CFL lantern at the same time!

I have to turn the power off and flash to get an image. Speaking of, here you go, I did just that and tried my best.

See the trichomes spreading all the way to the leaf tip in the second picture?

Also, added picture of the typical damage I'm seeing throughout my entire closet, minus mothers which are fine.

Well, I've been slowly but surely watching the girls doing their thing. With airflow problems addressed all burning has halted.

Frosty, though. Have a LED and flash shot.

I've been following this. Curious to see how it turns out.
