Crispyfried Reviewed by Crispyfried on 04-30-2006. LED grow pictures So these plants are about two weeks old, germinated in custom organic soil mix under 200 watt CFL, then put under four LED grow bars and at first two, now one 42 watt CFL and as of yesterday an additional red LED light over one of the plants. I'm a real novice and haven't ever completed a grow yet, so tell me how my plants are doing. Rating: 5

Looks like the light isnt covering pointing at the most efficient angle, half the plant isnt covered.

YOU can put the LEDS as CLOSE AS YOU LIKE because heat should simply NOT be an issue and the penetration isn't that strong on LEDs so the closer the better.

otherwise, looking good, I too am very interested to see the results.

Checked out that solaris link. Sounds too good to be true. I still need a yield vs cost comparison.

Keep the documentation coming.

The lights in the photo are just supplementary, there's an array of four LED grow bars 7 inches above the taller plant.

I'm starting to get aroused by your plants and their lights...

I admit I was impatient in my similar post and didn't look carefully enough. I am so glad you are running this experiment we are all rooting for you and your LEDs let's hope they come through in the flowering stage. So are you using 5 or 6 bars? Four from above and then two supplementing the sides?
I wanna see big colas, cmon man!

Just four bars, all above.

First grow, not too happy...plants left were the only females....been in flower since Feb 19th....soil mixture of MG and Fox Farm plant mix...but Leds can grow decent plants with the right care..

Well the two plants have been under 12/12 for six days now, and the one that's in front of the Buddha seems to be doing quite nicely. I can't take a picture right now because they're in the dark. If the bigger plant is a female I'll pull the smaller plant and move the one CFL out of the main compartment and just use LEDs for the rest of the grow. If the big plant is a male and the smaller one if a female, I guess I'll do the same thing for that plant, but I'll also have to bend it towards the center of the growing area so that it grows under the primary LED array.

I just pulled the smaller plant because it wasn't growing much. I really hope that the one remaining plant is a female. If not, I'll have to start from scratch, but at least now I know how to grow properly with LEDs. I'll post a new picture when I find out the plant's sex.
