Hows it going, thanks for checking out my post. This is my second grow, first using leds. My setup is as follows:

Four 180watt Leds
Happy Frog soil
Dyna-grow nutrients
Agent orange seeds
Mad kush seeds

I have replaced my old setup of two 1000w mh/hps lights with these four panels and could not be happier with the choice. I have used these lights from seedling and will continue through the whole grow. The seedlings stayed short and started stacking after week one. These lights are giving the plants everything they need to strive, almost no stretching. The lights are so cool I have not had to use my ac unit yet. My electric bill in comparison is literally two thirds less than my last grow. I will post the pictures i have now and will post at least once a week with new pictures. Please follow my grow, any comments or questions are more than welcome.

Hola Mi Amigo!

I started a Journal (link in signature) using 2 of the same LED Panels and someone recognized them and linked me to your Journal! WooHoo! I have to say I wasnt looking for any Performance info to start, but I would LOVE to follow along and learn from You!

Your Plants are BEAUTIFUL! I see you started them from seedling under the Panels. After I took the glass out of one Unit, I had to switch it Off for my Cuttings/Clones as they were OverPowered! I did play around prior to this Grow on some Vegging plants and 18 inches above worked Very Well. How HIGH are your Panels above the Plants?

I could not help but Notice how well these lights were built when I took out the Glass, I am anxious to Flower with these LED Panels, I Believe they are onto something with this new technology!

I am looking Forward to seeing your Skills! Also, HOPING these Panels perform EXTREMELY WELL for YOU! WooHoo! Thanks for sharing!

Peace and LOVE to ALL (past-present-future)

Hey folks sorry I haven't posted in a while I've been having major internet service issues, but now all is well.
My plants are doing well, I'm getting some good budding going on lots of trics and a delicious fruity scent.
Here they are on July 10th. SAM_0618.jpgSAM_0621.jpgSAM_0622.jpg

Thanks a BUNCH MEDSCIENTIST!!!!
Nice to meet you and I'm excited to follow your grows.
So far for seedlings I've kept the light around 12 inches.This seed was planted on June 25thView attachment 2738878
I am going to raise the lights a bit for a bit more stretch in the veg room.
And as for the "FLOWER POWER" of these LED lights, I'm convinced it is going to pose a challenge to other lighting means. I switched from two 1000w mh/hps and so far so good. Low temps is a HUGE benefit and the plants are obviously loving it. THANKS for checking this post out man. And Thanks for sharing your page, I'll be checking your stuff out.

Between the Lower temps and the Intense Spectrum FLOOD these panels put out, my cuttings were stacking nodes ontop of each other with NO Vertical stretch at all. I will re-work some ventilation to increase temps, but raising the light to 48 inches has given them a Vertical BOOST! WooHoo! I will bring it down when they tell me to?

Thanks for starting a Journal HERE 619ster! I was kinda told I couldnt talk about these elsewhere, I am surprised you Could! WooHoo! I really dont understand their reasoning, cause they gave up FUN stuff and traffic? AnyWho! Needed to Re-Establish myself here as Me (MedScientist) and not my old PTC name... hehehe.

Peace

These pictures where taken on Sunday 07/14/13. I hate to back track but I had some good ones I wanted to share with you guys. I added a 3rd light in the 4x4 area and took the glass out off all three lights, needless to say I see a pretty big difference in coverage and penetration with the glass out. I would definitely recommend anyone using these lights to take out the glass. I already see a difference after only one week in growth after taking the glass out. Ill be posting another set of pictures Monday so you guys can see. I used different exposure rates and white balances to give you guys a better prospective on the lights and coloring. Thanks for following!

Hey 619ster! Awesome man Im following your grow it looks pretty awesome so far. I am really happy to have you checking mine out. For 130 watts these lights aren't to shabby I am really liking what I see so far. I added a 3rd light to my grow cause I think I vegged to long and the plants got pretty big I also took out the glass and let me tell you it made a huge difference. After the changes I saw a pretty recognizable difference in growth and the buds seem to be fattening up a lot more. Do you have your glass out as well?

I have been keeping the lights at about 12 inches during veg and 6 to 8 inches during flower. I totally feel you on the lights stacking the nodes but I just kept the light at the same height anyway to see after about a week the plants seem to establish themselves under the light and start to grow upwards, that's what ive noticed so far. I personally think 48 inches is way to high but hey its all about trial and error with something new. Keep up the good work my friend!

I have taken everyone else's LED height placement into consideration, all I can say is that These plants, at that stage, were stacking the same number of nodes as the cuttings being vegged/grown under HPS, and also t-5, but the vertical growth was MUCH less. When I raised the lights to 36 inches, I started to get some height, but 1 light @ 48 inches above the canopy, is working PERFECTLY! Which by the way, gives me a HUGE area of coverage with just 1 light.

With 2 LED Panels, I can still play with different heights throughout the Grow.

Since YOUR Girls look ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, I will use your grow as MY Control Group! You know? HOW they SHOULD look when done PROPERLY! Hehehe

I still have alot of questions in MY HEAD that need answering, and only MY Experience CAN answer them. I tend to test my assumptions, and I can come up with some pretty far fetched ideas, but when I am DONE with THIS grow, I should know these LED's Intimately! Then Watch OUT! WooHoo!

Not only learning the Sweet spot for these LED Panels, but my GOAL is to BECOME the ULTIMATE Tester! I was recently NOT given an LED Prize WON on a different forum by a LED Company that frequents this and other Forums. This has MOTIVATED ME to DO such an AWESOME Job, that they will decide to re-consider their decision and DESIRE to have ME Journal with THEIR LED's. Then I WILL, and I will DO THEM Proud! Hehehe Yeah! I'm Delirious! Ever since I gave up the EGO and started living Life with/through/as LOVE, and Forgiveness when needed, I have learned how to achieve .... ???

... achieve an INTENSE BuZz with this latest batch of MedScientist's Super Potent Dry Ice Hash (40g) infused 151 Everclear (5th)! WooHoo!

I guess you can call 1.5 Ounces a Intense way to Medicate! WooHoo! Later, time to apply some of this mindset to my guitar! WooHoo!

Peace
