This was done under 140w total of LED. Hindu skunk up close (9 clones force-flowered,) GDP the rest of the way down (one single plant vegged three weeks and flowered same time as clones.)
90w UFO for the GDP, 9 clones under a 50w micro-UFO. Both units using 1w diodes.
Can't wait to see the dry weight. The clones were done in soil, the GDP done in a 2 gallon DWC.
How long did they take to finish?
A secret grow, i can dig it:thumbsup:nice looking buds man. I wondered if ya might peek at my thread in the indoor section and give me a clue as to if these plants are going to out grow my 5'. I was planing on a possible scrog, but then was thinking of just putting the lights in and going 12/12 after the NL is finished, im hoping 2 weeks. I will re pot into 1 gal pots with the Bio Tone and only give water throughout the entire 12/12 to lose the Nitrogen. My hydro guy thinks because im not using too much from one pot to the next il be cool, but really dont want that taste. And looking at some of the LED grows, i am afraid il run out of room in the tent if i just let them grow out as is? But i would really like to see that tent filled with green

Just thought id get your take man:jointsmile:
Have fun with the GDP:rasta:
They both took 10 weeks of full flowering. The GDP was given a chance to veg for a few weeks first while I waited for the clones to set root.
You might want to get some weights and kinda pull the branches down a bit, depending upon how deep you are into it, because they're gonna be rolling for a few weeks of flowering until they stop stretching and start filling.
You just might outgrow that 5ft, man. If you're not TOO far into flowering, don't be afraid to supercrop/HST those babies.
Price is too low to be any good, IMHO. Under $2/w? You're looking at cheap low-bin diodes and poor construction.
Thanks I will keep that in mind. At this point I am committed financially and by time to use this product now. If I am unhappy with the results I will re post for suggestions on replacements.
I'm nearly led illiterate, but I would like to become educated enough to design and build my own panels. Could ya walk me through it khyber or point me where someone already explained how, I'm having a tough time understanding how to get the amount of micromoles I want in the most efficient way.

Well, I can walk you through a simple serial construction. Get the most efficient diodes at your chosen wavelengths, then in a line add together all of the voltages since you are doing a serial connection (usually blues range from 3.2v-3.6 and reds from 2.2-2.8v) and then find a driver pushing that voltage at about 300-500mA.
I leave it to you as to how you mount your diodes, and your heatsink configuration. Eventually you'll learn how to add in fail-safe diodes to keep power flowing to the rest of the chain should one light actually fail.
It's pretty simple once you understand the basics of electricity - go snag a couple Google books or read up on Khan Academy!

Thanks man, thats a good idea to use weights:thumbsup:never woulda thought of that. I got 9 days and the tent will get the LED's installed inside. The plants in the tent are under CFL's now in veg. I had no other options, but to finish the NL first. Some are a good size, but 2 are tall, which il have to do something with. I think il re pot them, bend em and flip the lights. I want to put the LED's in and go straight into 12/12 with these plants.
My hydro guy thinks the gal containers will get me through flower, but im thinking at least 3 gal at least.
