That was 1000Whps and a 240 blackstar right? How big were the plants when you flipped them? Can't wait for the weigh in :-) Are you kinda keeping track of the ones under the LED vs the HPS? I know there was lots of cross lighting and that was the whole point but still would be interesting to...

Thanks bud, I feel the same way but I might be biased :)

Is that the chineese panel throwing a lot of white light? Where did you get it? I've got 18" plants under LED's and about 10 days ahead of your schedule so we are pretty close so I'll have to check in from time to time. What size pots are you in? I only repotted to 2.5 gallon a couple days...

We got buds....holy dyna.....little buds everywhere.....and check out the trichomes on these baby buds. This is day 17 of flower. Took a pic with the flash on to get a feel for how green the plants are under natural light

Just went through your whole journal...sweet :-) Bet you can't wait to run LED beginning to end. I never tried CFL but ran banks of T-5's and LED's def kicked it up a notch. Happy smokin

Your air pump is to run bubblers/air stones? You want it where you have the coolest temps and most oxygen. Gonna guess that's outside of the room. I live in a cold climate and I used to bring in outside air for my air pump (when I ran buckets) but that's a bit manic :-)

After watching what LedBudGuy pulled off a bunch of 170W ISIS, and he wasn't even that happy with the results, I can understand the move to more lights and more crosslighting. Can't wait to see how his next round does.

You don't weigh your results? Don't want to give your plants performance anxiety? Just kidding amigo and it is hard to hold it against you that you don't buy into the competitive culture that kills the fun in so many things. Happy smokin :-)

Well gents I wish you many happy grows with your LED's. Maybe I should clear the air because I've ripped on Blackstar. If I had $250 to buy a light, I'd consider Blackstar and I have never made any comments that they wouldn't work, only that I wish they were straight up about their marketing...

Further to my comments about wattage and LED power to get coverage. LENS ANGLE IS ALSO CRITICAL. Here's a link to a post I made about lens angle. Basically its the trigonometry showing how at the same height a 550W panel can put half the light to the plant of a 260W panel if the lens angle is...

Haha! I did the same thing more or less. I asked if their warm whites used mutliple diodes of different colors to get the red spectrum or how they get output past yellow.

I think this was directed at the comment by Devilspawn about hearing bad things about LED's in flower. I think he has good reason to be concerned because that has always been the issue with LED's in the past. Awesome veg....but light airy buds that shrink down to nothing when they dry. I've...

Its not impossible to produce cool white light starting with blue but it is impossible to produce warm white light. White LED light is usually produced by taking blue led's and yellow phosphor and the light from the LED excites the phosphor and it emits yellow light. The combination...

Okay so not sure what the rules are on referencing different websites but watched a great grow on 420mag run by IrishBoy and the guy ran a 600w LED panel and got just under 1g per watt and his take was that he would rather run 2x300 panels to take advantage of the cross lighting to minimize the...

Well sucks that it didn't go as planned but doesn't that sum up life :-) Let me know what you do pull down anyway. Be interesting to see what it pulls on a not-so-great grow.

@ Spuzzum I kind of appreciate the research because I basically did the same thing when looking into Blackstar. If something doesn't add up at first glance you look into it a bit more. When I was in commercial electronics we had lots of stuff built-to-order that wasn't available on a...

I wouldn't say you're a schill....lol. I think LedBudGuy was having a bad day :-) I followed his first grow journal and the guy can grow and it was his journal,combined with my own research, that got me to call GrowPerfect and that's how I got my 357's. The internet sucks because there's...

Which Blackstar is that? Wish they had a website so a guy could actually check out their products. Tall plants in such a small area, make sure you get something with a flatter lens angle. I'd look for 60 degree if you could find it but definately no more than 90 to keep the footprint small...

Can't patent lens angle. Definatley is a critical piece of information for figuring out footprint and penetration. Basically the lower the number the higher the intensity but the smaller the footprint. It's just like those flashlights you can turn the lens and get a smaller, brighter beam on...

Picked a light and ran with it....nice :-) Do you have a journal on it or can you give us the low down. How big is the plant or plants? How's the bud growth, got some dense nugs or are they airy? Any clue what you expect for dried weight based on how it looks so far? You got pics? That...
