Appreciated. Some of us are trying to grow no-drama weed....lol

Day 14 of flower. Is it me or are they growing :-)

Well I used to run two HPS lights and had to buy a portable A/C to cool my room. I sold the A/C and that was a substantial input into the cost of my lights. Add in that my power bill has dropped about $70 a month (remember the A/C) and I should pocket about $800 a month in the next...

In my last journal I pulled .9 grams per watt. Seeing as how a 1000hps actually draws almost 1100 watts you'd have to pull 35 1/3 oz to beat me. 2 pounds 3 ounces. How's that going for you?

Yeah I'm gonna stop commenting on Mike. He was always a stand-up guy and I really don't want to hurt his business as Spectra certainly isn't one of the shit LED companies I'd like to see get put out of business. Maybe he had a bad day but sure sucked for me cause somehow in the mix I got...

I'm pretty sure I've posted about this a few times and probably in my journals somewhere but here goes. When I was researching to buy lights I found GrowPerfect which is the parent company of ISIS. I really liked ISIS lights but was looking for something with all 3W LED's and narrower lens...

Yup that was how it started. He went on to say that his lights were the only proven lights out there and that my results were garbage. I told him his marketing strategy was unprofessional. They someone else pointed out that I actually got the same yield as his last sponsored grow running HALF...

Thanks amigo. Really going to make an effort to properly document everything and answer everyones questions and also help direct people on where to find information on all manufacturers. I think it's the only way we can help each other make the best decision on where to spend our money...

Yeah I'm not a big fan of "trust me it works" when I'm laying out my money.....especially when I can't find any proof. Completed grow journals with actual results are a good start and google is our friend for locating those. I also think forums are like books and believing just one author...

Not trying to hijack but how many plants do you get under each light?

I think it's because you started a journal as opposed to a Grow Journal in the Forums category. Click on forums. Grow Journals. Start new thread. Different rules for each

You can veg good plants but they don't flower worth crap. I ran procyons a couple years back. They were unshielded 2 watt CREE LED's which was why they cost a fortune and they had great intensity but only one spectrum of blue and two of red. They vegged better than anything I'd ever seen but...

Happy I could help out.....lol I can't figure out how to download them in the order I want as the downloader seems to randomly select the order

Well that's cool to hear. I run ISIS 170 for veg and it's proved unbelievable and I'm considering getting a couple for the first part of flower and just have a continuous cycle and keep my Magnums for late flower. The guy who got banned on here had awesome results running ISIS all the way...

That sounds like a great plan. If I was still running HPS I'd definately be keeping MH for early flowering. My original plan was to have a three stage grow (a month apart) but hoping to kick it up to a five stage grow and have them three weeks apart. Gotta work with the plant numbers though...

Very well put. I do think that there is a marketing factor in every business and it's necessary to attract general consumers but often pisses off the informed consumers. LED is certainly proving to be no different. I am really impressed with my lights but do hate some of the claims on the...

Was just comparing the bud development to a friend on 420 who's at the same day in flower. Not sure what it is that's started mine so quickly but I'm not gonna complain :-)

Yup my bad. Apparently I can't think straight today and said UV when I was meaning to talk about IR. IR...infra red...as in further than red. Not sure how I can't keep that straight but oh well...lol

Well that's kinda the kicker...does it? LED's tend to have a very narrow spectrum and the two versions of Phytochrome count on the balance between red and far-red. The far-red dips into the UV spectrum which is why some panels include UV to stop stretch in flowering. If an LED panel only had...

Day 13 of flower and trying not to get retardedly excited over the amount of bud production already :-)
