Yeah the LEDs really seem to work. If I didn't have the 42 watt CFL in there there would be no doubt, but that CFL helps to eliminate odors so I've gotta keep it.

I got a couple of those Oasis led strips myself, they dont seem to do much other then supply a small amount of supplemental lighting. Anyone wanna buy mine? I only used them once..

WOW crispy thanks for sharing.. I think a lot of us have been wanting to see these puppies in action.. Growth in the first 2 weeks is always pretty slow... But after day 14-17.. the plants should really start to take off.. The stalk should start to get thick and the plant should get bushy...

please keep posting pics...

It does not look like you mixed any perlite in your soil...?

thanks again..


one more thing.. GET tHE LIGHTS closer if you can.. They should be nearly touching the plants...

There's some perlite in there. The mix is mainly coco coir with wormcastings and perlite, also rock phosphate, starter fertilizer, a good amount of volcanite, trace mineral rock, and I recently added some Super Tea to the top of the soil which probably covered up some of the perlite.

Yes, you have to move the LED's much closer 6" or less would be optimal. You do not have to worry about any type of heat problems with those. LED's do not put out a lot of light at 14" away. The plants would really thank you for it.

Well with my setup it's a real hassle to adjust the LED bar array, but I'll let them grow up to the lights until they're touching them before I move it higher.

crispy.... can you get the CFL's within 1 inch of your plants....

you should

i will make a huge difference

Yeah I moved the CFL and the red LED light closer. I also pulled the right-side plant as it wasn't getting good air flow, but I added some new seeds to the soil so I'll have some additional plants in better locations.
