[Smokey11]

Thanks homer! Yep hopefully this time next week they will be under 240w blackstar LED panel. The Hawaiians' have been in 12/12 for 3 weeks today and The Church is 32 days from sprout.

Dang smokey, that's some good growth for only those few cfls, any reason there are two not on in your pic though? Is the panel you're getting 240w actual draw or is it just called a 240? I hate that a lot of the led companies name their fixtures by what it could pull not what it does.

I thinks its 180w of actual light and 60w for the three fans it has. Too much heat man thats why I had those two off

looks great smokey , lookin forward to seeing ur new led's at work.

Thanks man!!+REP

Temps are dropping as I prepare to get the pictures together!!!

 

[Smokey11]

Temps have dropped but humidity went up?? Guess I'm gonna have to get a dehumidifier

I have a 240w blackstar LED panel in my tent no mass CFL!!

 

[stoneyluv]

damn dude!!! those american made cree diodes light your tent up bro!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoy it!!

 

[Smokey11]

A whole freaking lot stoney!!! What would you say is the farthest you won't the panel from the canopy stoney? Cause the "H's" are about 12-14" away from the light but the church is about 16-18" away chould I try and put some mags or somehting under it to get it closer? or do you think it will be ok? Thanks man!

 

[stoneyluv]

the closer the better with any light... keep it about 8" - 10" away if you can. I'm always putting things under my containers to raise them up.

looking great smokey!! stoney, how close before you get bleaching?

 

[Smokey11]

10-4 stoney I take anything you suggest to heart man!! (mason jar dozen box,and shoe box for the church and "H2") The lowest "Top" is 14" from light and tallest top is 10" away. one pic was trippy to me so I'm gonna share!

 

[Smokey11]

Thanks Homer!! That is an interesting question hhmmm im gonna guess 6 inches

Perfect!!!! that is a cool pick when the light seeps out!!! does the blue spectrum seem to shine further than the red does?
my small panel does, but not my flower panel.

yea man, anything closer than 6 inches will bite ya... some plants are a bit more sensitive, so sometimes even 8" is needed. and i mean plants, not strains. It is good practice to either take them out in normal light to inspect them or have a CFL on a drop cord or something so you can check em out for any signs of trouble. plant problems aren't always as easy to see under LED. keep us posted!!!

 

[Smokey11]

They seem about the same but the blue peeping out it does shine further. It's crazy when I walk out of the LED light everything is GREEN tinted!!! I can tell that I'm gonna have to take them out one at a time and inspect or may just lug in one of my CFL's to check on them.(But would be honored to get a bleached "Stoneyluv top" by accident!!lol)

hahaha that's cool dude, bleach away!!! hahaha remeber if you do bleach them it doesn't really hurt them to much... they still grow, taste good, and are potent... they just look funny that's all... once they dry it doesn't look near as bad either.

yea they do fuck with your eyes... I try not to look at it at all. if you use a CFL it doesn't mess with your eyes.

 

[Smokey11]

temp is still 79*w/ A/C off!!! I think I'm in love!!!

Cool deal cause you know w/ my past burning I'm sure I'll bleach one or two before its over.

veryveryvery cool smokey!!!

Hey dude plants look awesome under that led. And everything just looks much more organized and clean from the light swap. How is the coverage under it looking?

 

[Smokey11]

Much more organized and clean!! Ain't no wires hanging (except one now) I think I could fit two more under it easily!!

How much did this run you? and is it good from veg to flower?
