Best bit of avice, this is my third design now. make sure you chassis is solid, and you wiring is easy to work with. I used bullet connectors for everything to make it all easy to click together. You need alot of time taken building your array. but the design itself (mine) is very forgiving to...

Thanks Hobbes, I also had a thorough read hrough your article. very nice information. All we can do I guess is share the knowledge and make something that really works. I genuinely believe one day LEDs will be the most efficient way to grow indoors :) I'd love it if you made your own light so...

As far as design goes LEDs are quite easy to work with when using a constant current source. However considerations need to be taken into account with forward voltages. Red LEDs typically have a forward voltage of 2.6V and Blues at 3.2-3.6V. I would suggest buying controllers that run a max of...

Truly? that would be over 600w of LED? I havent seen many on the market that deliver that much power. :\ I am getting 3 times the output of an LED UFO using a LUX meter (LUX meters do not see red and blue well) the guy on ledgrow.eu used a few 660nm's and had alot of stretching problems so it...

those pics are from today :) Thanks for the tips I may continue just watering. My ratio is: 24 x 630nm Red 6 x 660nm Red 6 x 465nm Blue, 12 x 450nm Blue 1 x 410nm Ultra violet All are 3 watt high power modules. Yes I am using foil and aluminium tape to hold it all together.

Hi, For those that dont know I've built myself a custom made LED grow light (49 x 3w LED modules = 144W). I started 3 plants; 1 30 days ago, 2 25 days ago outdoors. and moved them indoors on the 10th Jun. I'm hoping an experiened LED grower may answer..... The girls seem to be squating a...

Hey guys, Once again im pioneering the LED revolution. I have a heard rumors that it is great to germinate and grow seedlings under UV-A light (Black lights). Is this true? I am making a USB powered seedling germinator and have the choice of using 1 3w LED module @ 400mA to do it. USB is a...

Some pics. let me know which of the 3 you think will be most successful, the girl on her own is 2 weeks ahead of the other 2. The UV LED is not hooked up at this time, I need some more space in the light hood to get a small 3w LED controller in there. I have an adjustable controller I am...

Update: Ok guys, the girls are in after 1 month of outdoor love. I have each frequency switched but I am running all of the lights at the moment. with the 2 fans and the lights I am running 148watts, or exactly 150.1 watts @ when running the fans at 12V. They are currently at 7V. I am using an...

Well, I have been experimenting and done alit of reasearch. I am using 49 3 watt LEDs for my light and have made a custom enclosure. my ratio of light is: 24x 630nm Red LEDs 6 x 660nm Red LEDs 6 x 465nm Blue LEDs 12 x 450nm Blue LEDs 1 x 405nm UV LEDs I have attached some pictures of my...

Infra Red? I had wondered if I added a video camera with night vision if it would interrupt the girls sleep patterns. Since my seeds arent feminized I fear I would end up with alot of males. Is this true that allowing "light creep" into the grow room can upset the cycle and turn my girls male...

Good question. I will experiment shortly with white LEDs. take a look at www.ledgrow.eu - This guy has done 6 grows with LEDs. He seems to have great vegetative results but poor flowering results with white LEDs. I also have a website I have made ledgrowlights.webs.com (A bit outdated now, I...

Well I can say, tomatos and Pawpaw responded well to my LED tests. The basil and oregano did not do so well :). In particular the tomatos shot ahead of the rest. I am now setting up my second canna grow. The first time was really shakey as too many chefs made one giant mess using a 1000w HPS...

Greetings guys, This is my first post. Basically, I've spent the last 3 months testing and trialling a home made LED light. I have done alot of research and I see alot of posts on here regarding LED lights etc. I have made a few varations to the light and have experimented with a few...
