Well done TenThirty...
@ reactiv8ion,if you find a MeanWell driver to suit your needs,you got yourshelf ,one of the best quality CC led drivers,around ..
I agree with TenThirty's suggestion...
(They are not so expensive ,afterall ...)

Woah, justing flipping through the posts there is a ton of good info in this thread. I'm gonna have to read post by post when i get the time. Amazes me that your'e all coming to the conclusion that using mostly white LED's is the best LED set up. After all of the blue/red marketing... Not sure i can believe it :-P
this is our purpose.. we are trying to draw our theory with some nice buds.. more and more are coming. i really like that some people still don't believe white colour. this make us trying even more to proove it cause we do...

@sailor, im doing the 8cw, 12ww, 4r630 panel with 3w leds. what led driver do you recommend?
this ones will do the job

DC VOLTAGE RANGE 30-80V
CURRENT RANGE 700mA ±3%
RATED POWER 56

2 x 2C-16N-4W-2red
2 x 2C-12N-6W-4red

But i can say that the 2 panels' light colour seem the same as MH
and the other 2 seem to be a little more blue

Ah..Silly me...
Amnesia Haze & Fruit Spirit ..
And,yes they are four...

2 x 2C-16N-4W-2red

Very hard approximation :
Blue (400 – 499nm) 18%
Green (500 – 599nm) 42%
Red (600 – 699nm) 37%
Far Red (700 – 750nm) 3%
.....
16 neutrals ?...
Curious to see the flowering, with 'em...

2 x 2C-12N-6W-4red

Blue (400 – 499nm) 15%
Green (500 – 599nm) 38%
Red (600 – 699nm) 44%
Far Red (700 – 750nm) 3%


Well,they have a bit elevated power at 500-599 nm range...
Personally I would prefer something about 25%-30% ...
Also they lack reds...(the former ones,specially...)
44% is nice (could be a bit more ..) ,but 37% is not much for "my taste"...( which tries to mimick plant's taste ... )
15 % at blues ...Ok ...For 44 % red seems ok... approx 3:1 R/B ....

Theese panels are only for vegatative stage
There are 4 more panels for flowering stage
2 x 2C-4N-12W-6red
2 x 4N-16W-4red
and i will get 2 more (something like 2N-14W-6red-2UV) to test how they will do with that extra red.


Soon i will start a grow with two plants (pineapple express) to test which panel is best for veg and wich for flow.
The first one will be under the 2 x 2C-16N-4W-2red
and the other one under the 2 x 2C-12N-6W-4red


Then in flowering for the first month
The first one will be under the 2 x 2C-4N-12W-6red
and the other one under the 4N-16W-4red
and for the second month i will add a 4N-12W-6red-2UV to each plant

I hope that we 'll see a detailed journal from this grow,brother...
Can't wait ....
Really interesting combos,you've got yourshelf , there...

So,veg with less reds ,uh ?
And more 500-599 light....
Hmmm,you probably go for a bit more Shade Avoidance Syndrome photomorphogenesis there ,isn't that so ? ...
You 've to post some more and better quality pics...
And up-to-date of course,eh ...
You're going for large canopy ,or is it my idea ?
How about internodal distance ?
Nodes are still close together ?

Picsssss !!!!

Ganja's plant canopy ,is Wow ...
Long leaf blades ,along with long leaf stems ..
Light goes through them , deep ( half a meter ) at the lowest part of canopy..
Leaves being thin at tops ,where the much red light is ,allow the rest of the light ,to penetrate ..
And not in a flake pattern like from large leaf blades, but rather " large windowed / framed " ..
Also long leaf stems ,extended the leaves far from stem(s) ,allowing light ,to reach at stem flower sites....
His plants have buds ,almost from hydroton level ,all the way up to the very tops....
With 30% 500-599 nm light approx ,if I'm not mistaken...???
(F#ck!...I don't remember his configs... )..
And what a foliage !
Lush and " thick "....
The plant ,harvests much light ,with it's quite large total leaf area..
And
already,has build a vast nutrient storage,at same time....
Eager to see his final yield...

Hey,you...

What's the actual ,spectra of those ?
Light seems kinda of "cool "..
Or is it the camera's white balance ?

...
Are they four,of them there ?

Strains ?
Actually,they are five of them...one fruit spirit,one royal moby,2 amnesia haze and one easy bud(autoflower),the light seems kind of ''cool'' perhaps because of the additional mh(400watt) that we have in the growroom

This grow with amnesia and fruit spirit from spiran77 is not a complete grow only with leds.
I just gave him theese panels for a while to test them, because he was laughing at me when i said that i am going to grow plants
with 22w panels. He will assure you that when i plugged the panel he stopped laughing :D


The next days i will start my journal :)
