nice i checked it out im subd to it... quite interesting how the lights are on one side ?? no or can i not see the whole light?

hows everything going for you and your grow closet ... did you get your light all set up yet? i want to see. i want to see. i want to see. lol im interested for sure on how those lights work for you

LOL,,, Hi.
Sorta set up I guess. Works.
First few days I got scared because it looked as though nothing was happening, then off they'd grow.
My confidence is low on it and assume it's simply the olde school of can't see it / must be weak type thing. Do find myself getting over it and confidence is growing.
Running the 180 Blackstar about 12" over and seems about right so far.
Being a flower model and being in veg. I've added a pair of CFLs (20 w) in a Y splitter, on center. Not sure, but seems the added CFL blue would be a good thing for a flower light doing veg? Anyways, growth is good. Actually perhaps better than the HPS was/is.
Waiting on the sidelines is a 70 watt HPS for low lighting in flower if needed later.

Okay, final,,, maybe running the same wattage (not) but I'm saving on additional cooling something fierce! Temps are great (in comparison), and growth? I'm very pleased so far with what I see.
Plants already in veg for another week, then the flip. That's where I hope to see the LED shine-on (pun intended - LOL)
I may need to redesign my grow room to better utilize this to the potential I'm thinking I'm seeing

Thanks for asking.

I see you're doing well also.

w/ HPS (removed for now)

yeah the lights are on one side.... the light i have can produce enough light for a 4x4 but all the plants gotta be the same height. i have a 3x3 tray but my plants have filled out a 4x4 area. I think my set up would have been perfect if i had gotten my plants as seedlings, the previous father let them veg for two weeks too long and when i topped them they were already to lanky they stretched about a foot too tall.

right on right on ... i wish you best of luck .. what strains you growing?

 

[StoneyC]

guys check out these leds: http://aliengrow.com - they have some cool lookin leds at the lowest prices ive seen on the net-- anyone have experience w/ these?

just peeped them ... i don't have any experience with any LED lights other then what Im running which i find to work well but one thing i would point out about the company you just mentioned when i was reading their site is that their 3rd Generation Lights notably the 300W Panel they advertise says in the specs in uses a 100watts and replaces a 500w HPS ... that information right there would throw up red flags in my personal opinion and i would rather shell out the money for a solid unit that has some history behind it before trying out these guys panels... just my thought though.... you can gather more information probably in the LED Users UNITE thread or starting your own ... good luck

gotcha thats still pretty cool though .. it looks like its producing .. ill be staying updated in your journal for sure bud

Flushing all the plants today and making sure the whole system is spotless and sanitized insuring there are no bugs floating around or dead in the hydroton..Im then gonna do a lil cloning from the lower branches after that its going to be time for them to start the transitional phase into flowering...

Im gonna be using:

7.5ml of ProGrow per Gallon
7.5ml of ProBloom per Gallon
10ml Liquid Karma per Gallon
10ml Sweet RAW per Gallon
5ml Hydroplex per Gallon

Only filling my reservoir with 10 gallons of water and adding 1 fl oz of gognats to prevent any comeback of critters.
Running this for about 10 days then switching to full flower.

Whoop Whoop Im Stoked

L.E.D s are great for the veg part of the grow but when it comes to good solid nugs then u need the power of H.P.S

 

[StoneyC]

almost seems like a spam message or something lol almost done with cleaning and shit ... its a lengthy process draining and cleaning all the buckets and hoses lol

 

[rasputin71]

It is spam, IMO. I would personally report it and ask it to be deleted from the thread and for the user to be banned, if it were my thread.

 

[StoneyC]

thanks ras.... anyways here are some pics before during and after flushing and cleaning yesterday... took forever to make sure it was spotless lotsa of water to play with lol .... but at the end of the day i completed everything i set out to do ...

Ready to see what the flowers bring

Today is Day One of Transition into Flowering
Whoop Whoop

[ShadowBlunts]
