Wow +rep for finding this company, these are the lights I have been looking for :bigjoint:

Been waiting for someone to use auto headlight leds and make a kick ass panel which it appears they have. Now I wonder if hooking 4 of these up to a light mover would do what I want, hmmm......................:?:

Peace out :weed:

good job but ur supposed to suck air through a filter not push it through
it can work any way sucked or pushed, think about it....its a filter. sucked or pushed its NOT about the way air travels through, it still passes through the same way. through one end and out the other...

just like air can be pushed out or sucked out for ventilation, its all about preference and situation. I would agree sucking it out would be more effective just for air flow purposes but there is no room inside of this cabinet for any filter so that would be how i would do it....and it would work just fine. HOWEVER, i don't have any odor issues therefor i have no filter, i think the LEDs are the reason. There is a small smell, but it smells good as it masks the blunt smell of my place. I think heat helps cause the majority of odor and these LEDs have 0 heat.

Plants transpire less under LED grow lights as a result of the reduction in heat
You posted an article earlier in the thread which contained this line. ↑↑↑

I think that pretty much solves your odor mystery. :D

i figured out the strains, had to look at old photos when the buckets were marked

g-13 haze, purple wreck, and pineapple grenade are the big three plants...

2 smaller ones are lemon skunk and blueberry...

nice good deal, if they are narrow beam bulbs they will have enough penetration but the footprint might be small. Don't veg for too long the first time to make sure the light is strong enough for a decent size plant...if not just SCROG it

pics takin this morning in the flower room....

pic one is of the g-13 haze this is my fattest looking bud site/cola008.jpg

Pic 2 and 3... I decided to top one plant just to see and compare yield, based on what i am seeing i dont think i will be topping anymore unless i don't let the plants get as tall...maybe it will be more effective with shorter plants...the two main tops of this plant are not even half the size of a main cola on the other plants...

Nice looking G13 you have there, if I may inquire do you happen to know the genetics of the one you have? I was asking because I have one also from G13 labs that's doing great so far but I have her in soil for the moment. Soon I want to take some clones and top her then I will finish her off in a 3 gallon pot. Would be interesting to compare our yields since mine will be grown under HID.

I'm going to use Uncle Bens topping method to go for 4 main copulas and see what kind of a harvest I get from her. I am going to take the top part and clone into a new mother but I will be putting her into one of the single Hydrofarm packs to see how that works. Always wanted to try a hydro mother so now's the time :bigjoint:

Till later peace out :weed:

Cool, currently my plants are as follows:

1 G13 10 days since planting, 3" tall with 5" spread
1 White Rhino 17 days since planting, 3 1/4" tall with 8.5" spread
1 OG Kush 17 days since planting, 4" tall with 11" spread

Then I have 3 White Rhino and 5 Northern Lights from seeds in the cloner that will be set in an ebb and flow tray on the 3rd of Dec so I will be comparing the soil vs hydro stats on the White Rhinos.

BTW I track my grow using the Herb IQ software and an Excel spreadsheet for expenses. At the end I can tell how much per oz my grow cost which helps with my sales end :bigjoint:

how much was that herb iq software, sounds ridiculous....
The link for download is in the General Marijuana Growing area here and it's the 3rd sticky concerning free grow software. Be sure to get the latest version as there are lots of improvements since it was created.

Till later peace out :weed:
