Ironically, penetration has been my concern as well. I do move the plants around their support daily, although they are not secured to the support. See above, and you realize the idiots I deal with. A guy tries something new, and post that it actually works, then everyone says you are an idiot and on your first grow. Ive been doing this shit for years, but I am actually open to the idea that there may be new technology and it should be administered and tested. A LOT of potsmokers/hippies piss me off, and are as ignorant as can be. I hate that oil that smells like ass, I like to smell pleasent. My girl, and my dog really appreciate that. Nothing worse that a dumbass hippie who hates the right, but all their beliefs are to the right but too stupid to realize it. Who says that? I said it.

I also use 4 foot fluorescent lights from wal mart along with the Grow panel...they seem to like both (I keep the lights led and fluorescent 'bout 4 inches from the tops).....and the fluorescent fixtures and bulbs are cheap at Wal-mart....If I come across a good deal on some leds I will buy 'em just to see how they work combined with hid for flowering.....just to see...I got nothing better to do...and I rather enjoy experimenting and seeing results myself....:-o

No, Id punch you in the face if you were in front of me. If you can write all that, and no one will read it, your a douche. Get laid dude. seriously. I don't have to defend myself to some asshole on the internet. Quit being gay. Geez, your the problem with our country you close minded fuck. Hippies with all their knowledge and great ideas are pretty much racist, ignorant assholes. Preach free love, freedom of mind blah blah blah, but you all look down on those that are differnet and have jobs. Fuck off, go do your thing, vote for bush, join a tea party and leave me the fuck alone. I seriously would punch you in the face if you said that to me, and I can promise you will be on the ground for a while. You are the problem with this nation, and hurt my reform to change marijuana laws because you douchbags have no real knowledge, and think you know what you are talking about. So, fuck you.

you are by far the most retarded person i stumbled upon on this forum. Quit your membership and finnish your led grow and then come back.

I have a 26 watt grow panel.....at first when I turned it on I was like f*ck why did I spend my money on this bull.....I got it on Craigslist for 80 bucks and had to drive to butt f*ck egypt for it...........I threw it in my mother room just for kicks..I was just curious about LED lighting......this one is supposedly the equivalent of a 250 hps.....well I didn't check my mommies for 3-4 days convinced I wasted my money....when I went and checked my girls looked super happy...the leaf formation had changed completely...they were much wider and had more of a shape...they look really different and very happy...I have 1400 watts of hid in my flowering room..and wouldn't mind usind Led as supplement lighting......since the spectrum is better than hids for plants they sure do like it.....Led just dont have any penetration power...that's the only thing they lack...all in all I am suprisingly satisfied with my little 26 watt grow panel
u will be dissapointed if u gonna use leds for assisting light in flowering, they are only good for vegg period, they can't produce buds for sh*t. u'd probably do better sticking in a couple of 100-200w red CFLs at places light doesnt normaly reach in your flowering room instead of leds.

LeTS SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT, LEDS DO WORK, IF ONE PANEL/UFO IS USED ALONE AND FROM A DISTANCE OF MORE THAN 10" FROM THE CANOPY THE PLANT WILL STRETCH...LIKE YOURS TO FIND MORE LIGHT, IF YOU LOWER THEM TO 5" AWAY FROM THE CANOPY THE INTERNODES WILL GROW CLOSER TOGETHER, FORMING A BUSHIER PLANT WITH MORE POSSIBLE BUD SITES, IF YOU USE 2 LED SETUPS YOU'LL GET BETTER PENETRATION AND THICKER STEMS WITH AGAIN MORE INTERNODES AND FASTER RATE OF GROWTH AND OPTIMALY IF YOU ADD CFL LIGHTING RANGING FOM 125W/ 150W, AND 250W ENVIROLITE/ECO-LITE THE BALANCE OF SPEC WILL BE MORE USEFULL TO THE PLANT AND YOULL GET MONSTER RESULTS ILL ADD 2 PICS OF MY LED/CFL GROW, IF YOU WANT MORE HELP JUST ASK ITS COOL MY STEMS ARE 1.4" THICK AND THE PLANTS HAVE JUST HIT THE 21" MARK 2 WEEKS INTO FLOWER, TRUST ME TWEEK YOUR SETUP BY LOWERING YOUR LEDS EVEN 3" AWAY AND ADD EVEN A 23/5W CFL, POSSIBLY 2, 1 EITHER SIDE FOR SIDE LIGHTING AND YOU LL HAVE SUSSED IT :) - STELTHY

I've already used fluorescent as supplement lighting........I am just interested in first hand knowledge with Led no matter the outcome...I see they work good for vegging so......and the only way I will purchase another Led light is if I come across a good ass deal....

check this out before u go testing leds for flowering, then if u still want to do it. go for it :P

i'd say stick with flourecents/cfls/hps/mh until plasma comes out unless u find oil or win the lottery and u got a heat problem and dont wanna move or rebuild, then u could buy leds :D

No
w there's my little e-thug.... Go on and talk shit.. If I were in front of you, you most likely wouldn't even make eye contact sunshine.. I don't need to talk smack to you. You're a punk.

If you can write all that, and no one will read it, your a douche.

Just because you can't read or understand the big words doesn't mean other don't. I'm a douche? :lol::lol::lol: AHH HAAA HAA!! You're a joke.

Get laid dude. seriously.

Grow up. You are obviously very young. Don't worry son, once you mature you won't find dealing with the ladies such a daunting task.. It's really not that hard to talk to girls.. give it time.

I don't have to defend myself to some asshole on the internet.

You're right..you don't.. I am challenging what you are saying based on facts that i have observed first hand observation -and you got your feelings hurt.. sorry, but sometimes the truth hurts. I'm not the master grower you are.. but look at my plants.. I may be on to something.


Quit being gay.

Oh but I am so happy about being right.. I don't think I can get the smile off my face.
(you should look that up "gay".. means happy:)


Geez, your the problem with our country you close minded fuck.

REALLY.. see I think I would consider someone close -minded if they didn't try something before they condemn it.

(man you really should go to the library on your spare and check out a dickschionary)

I did use LED.. they don't work
well enough to be considered a light source you could use to grow on it's own, and for the expense.. save your $$ .. and read my posts.. i said "it does work".. but if you think your plant is different than most grown with led, you are mistaken.. again.


Hippies with all their knowledge and great ideas are pretty much racist, ignorant assholes.

Hippie? I'm a business owner - gen x beeyotch.... so get your facts straight.

Preach free love, freedom of mind blah blah blah, but you all look down on those that are differnet and have jobs.

where the fuck did I preach about free love and shit.. man you're fucked.

Fuck off, go do your thing, vote for bush, join a tea party and leave me the fuck alone.

I'm a Canadian so I don't vote for your presidential elects- but I'm sure you did..
This is "my thing".. correct mis-information.. it's a hobby,
and I am not attacking you. led's suck.. a mistake I made and I'm trying to save others from making it.. nothing to do with you.. you're taking it personally.


I seriously would punch you in the face if you said that to me, and I can promise you will be on the ground for a while.

You can't promise shit i-mobster. To make such a statement in of itself not knowing me.. is just retarded. :lol::lol::lol::lol: and funny.. you would likely make boom-boom in your shorts if I got mad at you little buddy.. so let's just stop with the on-line tough guy bullshit k?:dunce:

You are the problem with this nation, and hurt my reform to change marijuana laws

Really Congressman? You have marijuana legislation in front of the senate? Then how come you are out here spelling poorly and not properly taking in the comments I've made to you.

because you douchbags have no real knowledge, and think you know what you are talking about. So, fuck you.

You used douche and then douchbag.. nice.. way to give it to me.. wow.

I guess you ARE right.. your plants look AMAZING!!! LED'S ARE the next big thing.. cause they DO work!! man.. you are soo big and strong.. and you can grow monster plants.. man I wish I could stand in your shadow..

there's your sarcasm..


Idiot.:wall:

Edit: you need to take a deep breath and re-read your thread.. I have tested led's for growing. I have them in a box in my basement.. i have a grow going..I showed you pics of the plants I am growing.. and the led's in a box... if I am growing.. and I have 300 watts of led's sitting in a box.. not being used.. at all... does that send any idea to your brain area that I do know what I'm talking about? Don't let lack of common sense stop you from learning something today.

Cowell, seriously dont waste more of your energy on this one :P..he's obviously some counter strike kid trying to win the internet or some moonshine damaged redneck who can't even take constructive criticism and respond back like a normal person. Let him grow his tacky weed and anyone who takes after him probably dont have his hed screwed on right either. Most ppl tend to listen to growers like...maybe fdd2blk and ppl like him who dont even need to back things up with 10 pages cuz they built up valid credibility over the years.

Damn people. The topic of LEDs is worse that debating abortion rights. Im just saying AGAIN, it works for me. Im happy with what I got. I learned a lot from reading fdd2blk. He is the man.

Get high, and live like the great one says, "One Love."

Yes your right it did work for you mate, but it did not work efficiently. To most growers, those plants are a joke with the nodes spaced like that, therefore your results to us are not very good at all. But if thats good in your mind right on bro thats all that really matters right?

That article is old ...the op says so at the beginning,leds have come a long way..and I am only using the Leds as supplement lighting....In no way am I switching my 1400 watts of hid in my flowering room for led :mrgreen:......just for supplement lighting...and they have those plasma lights for sale already...someone gave me a link........If I find a cheap plasma somehow I would buy that as well even if the whole world said not too..I just want to see for my self..... first hand knowledge...I don't like hear say......and it's not a waste of money if I gain knowledge even if the results are poor......I understand what you are saying..I used to say the same about leds but since I had never used them I didn't know.....now I know they are good for vegging...maybe not the best but work far better than expected....

Ironically enough I just gone done reading that like 5 minutes ago.....sulphur plasma lights look very promising but are crazy expensive at the moment,give it a few years they should become more affordable....then onto experimenting..hehe :bigjoint:

I just think its a beautiful plant. Now that I think about it, I had a lighting issue for about two weeks during veg. I had to put hotter bulbs in because of the cold so they were in no way close enough to the plant. The shit is illegal here, so I have to be as stealthy as I can be with it. I wish it were more of an open thig like in Cali.
