Experiments with Hydroponics, Aeroponics, and LED Grow Lighting ...this report is complete Opie and i would highly reccomend that you review it as it also COMPARES the cloest competitors the PROCYON 100 (at $600 w a slightly more blue matrix) and the LED Grow-Master LGM5 PRO (which apprears to be vastly cheaper although you have to wire it yourself and not anywhere as powerful using 100s of smaller weaker LEDs on seperate grids)
Blossoming continues on the center and right tomato plants. The plants have gotten pretty large. Much larger than they are supposed to be as they are advertised to be 9-12 inches. These things are approaching two feet. They're very hefty with lots of vegetative growth. The Florida Petite and Florida Basket in the center and right are blossoming the most. The Red Robin has a few but still seems to be more in the vegetative state. I've shut off the blue bulbs for a while to see if the increased red ratio will have any effect on blossoms.
Plenty of blossoms are stil dropping without fruiting, but more and more are seeming to fruit. I don't necessarily think blossom drops are necessarily a light problem. There are thousands of other reasons for this inside of course. Hey, this is my first attempt with these particular tomato varieties and using the UFO for the first time.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the performance of this light. One thing the UFO can do for sure is grow big tomato plants. I'll continue to try different nutrient formulas for the blossoming stage. To tell you the truth, I'm not quite sure exactly what this'll take and the experiments will continue. Hopefully soon, the 70/20 Red to Blue UFO will arrive. I'm hoping I made the right guess. I'd like to see if I can avoid using extra blue bulbs and have a 100% UFO grow nest time.
as ive stated befor if you can endure the price this is it maybe next year the $$$ will come down....and all the pics a person could want are there as wellZiggy Stardust Reviewed by Ziggy Stardust on . LED grow lights... input please. Hello guys, I'm exchanging eMails with a representative from a LED company.
