550W LED vs. 5 plants in soil.

[newworldicon]

Okay so last round was all failure, more my doing then the LED panel. This time we are going to do 5 plants under the panel. All in soil in 12 ltr pots although one pot is bigger than the others.

The line up is as follows:

Blue Hash, Skunk #1, Deep sweet grapefruit, Gigabud, Moby dick.

Throughout the grow I will be keeping the panel at 24 inches to see the effect and resultant outcome.

Plants have had about 2 months to veg slowly under a small flouro and then for 2 weeks under a 600 and now they will be flowered out under the LED, this is purely a flowering excercise. The plants at last images are 5 days under the LED for reference sakes.

Images to follow.............

Looks right on man. Just picked up a refurbed 250w pro grow on ebay (2010 model, he upped to 260 for 2011) from Ben at an absurd discount. He offered the full 3 year warranty on it. I'm super excited. My two 180 pro grow coupled with this 250 should stack up to what you're currently running with his 550 unit. Looking forward to seeing how this run goes. Best of luck!

I'm always down for collecting LED grow data! I am curious of your actual wattage and what type of soil or mix your using, GL on the grow!

I'm not too sure exactly what your'e asking but I'll try to answer anyway. The 550W panels actual draw is 420W. The pots are around 7.5-10ltr pots as not all are the same. The soil is from the park which I cannot name as it will indicate exactly where I am. But be rest assured it is fantastic stuff which is very composted and rich. No other added stuff. I usually use this soil for my mothers and never had problems.

I'd also like everyone watching with an eagle eye to notice the size of the plants now having spent about a little less than a week under the LED vs. when they were under the HPS with the autos in the last thread. A lot of growth has taken place even though I have trimmed them right back to promote multiple branching since then.
