Just purchased a 500w Lighthouse Blackstar LED UV - Model. I already have a 1000W MH and a 1000W HPS. Just transplanted a bunch of seedlings (fem wonder woman and fem jock horror) over the past 2 days into 5gal buckets with holes for drainage. Split 2 of each under the LED last night, and 3 WW and 2 JH under the MH. Now it is off to the races to see what exactly the difference is b/t LED and HID with the other Variables being the same.
Here are the SPECS:
Soil grow: Happy frog, with dolo lime, wood ash, moisture crystals, mycor. granules, AP sand and hydroton for drainage.
Initial Nutes during transplant: Jack's Classic 20-20-20 (1/2 tsp (5ml) per gallon (3.8L)), 1 TBSP (15ML) molasses per 3.8L Gallon, a pinch of epsom salt per gal, and probably about an ounce of humic acid concentrate per gal. All in RO H2O .
All transplant holes dug were coated in rooting powder.
The lights: (Veg 18/6 - Flower 12/12)
LED:

MH: 1000W MH, Base up with a 48" reflector.
HPS: 1000W HPS, Horiztonal in a glass protected Hydrofarm hood, with an 8" exhaust fan.
Avg Running Temp in veg room with lights on: 80 deg. F (LEDS are not in veg room therefore they are running around 70 deg F)
Lights off: 65 deg for both.
