Soldiers Co OP Led Test grow

[papapayne]

Some of you may know already know me, but for those that don't, I am pretty active long time RUI forum member. I have been growing for a few years now, have had successful outdoor and indoor harvests. I am disabled army combat vet, and I run a legal non profit Co Op grow for a group of disabled veterans and a few of their wives. Anyways, I was asked by growrevolution to test out some new LEDS they have released onto the market. I am pretty excited to see the newest technology in growing, so jumped on board to test them out.



My first impression when they arrived is they look to be very well built, solid and not cheap looking. And they are VERY bright.

Oh yea, I am a fully organic grower. I make my own compost/casting teas, use black gold soil or vermifire depending on whats on sale as a base, then cut it with more perlite, castings, bone meal and blood meal and part reused soil. I use general organics 8 parts nutes as well, and aloe juice and b1 when transplanting/starting cuts.


I got my veg area set up now., got the 2 smaller panels covering about 4x2 area in the closet vegging, the other half the closet is a 4 foot 8 bulb t5 HO set up with my mothers. I have heard the leds to close makes them stack nodes to tight, so I have them about 2 feet off the canopy of seedlings, and about 18 inches off the top of the canopy of the breeders boutique veggers.

Since no thread is complete without some bud porn, figured I would share this

This here is my cherry pie, about to be harvested. She is in a 2 gallon pot, 1 week veg time. Her sisters were chopped at 7 weeks and they all gave 2+ ozs each, thinking 4 ozs of this one. She was the strongest of the bunch and is gonna be my head stash Smells of coffee and cherries.

Today is week 9ish, think its day 68 or 69 now. She is ready! I am gonna leave it in total darkness for 4 days for that last final push. Really wish I had let the others go the extra 2 weeks, but to late now. anyways, here's some porn!
