    LED Flowering Light vs Veg light for Vegetative Growth * Backstar - NORTHERNleitz

    Stretch under the Flowering LED is about 20% more. Development is healthy but definitely more leggy than under the Veg LED. Height was about 6" taller than the plant grown under the Veggie Bomb. Probably would have been more if not for the topping of the plants. So in a practical sense...

    LED Flowering Light vs Veg light for Vegetative Growth * Backstar - NORTHERNleitz

    Starting to see some pronounced elongation under the Flowering LED. Finally brought the SnowCap out of the dark. Still needed to be trimmed down. All plants were topped at this point.

    LED Flowering Light vs Veg light for Vegetative Growth * Backstar - NORTHERNleitz

    This is about 12 days into veg under the LED's. About 18 if you count the time spent under the CFL's. ProMix with mycoryza if you want to buy the best soil I have ever used. 2.2 liters for $28 @ Lowes.

    LED Flowering Light vs Veg light for Vegetative Growth * Backstar - NORTHERNleitz

    Just a simple side by side comparison of how a flowering light compares to a Veg/Clone light for early growth. Strain is Dutch Passion Ice S1 Feminized seed. This was a self fertilized plant used to produce the seeds and is as close as you get to a clone in seed form. 3 of these were...

    NorthernLeitz FB-400-5 Watt LED + 300 Apollo LED VS Philips 600 CMH Showdown

    Let me remind you this was under the CMH. Just did not produce but was early and nice. G13 is what government research should be all about. The couch-lock I expected was well balanced by the other half of the cross.

    NorthernLeitz FB-400-5 Watt LED + 300 Apollo LED VS Philips 600 CMH Showdown

    I have not had any issues with either of the NL fixtures. All the diodes, fans etc are still going strong. The 400 unit only has this grow on it but the 300 has 2 under its belt. The veg units have been running 22 hours a day for over a year and during flower until this run. Big aluminum...

    NorthernLeitz FB-400-5 Watt LED + 300 Apollo LED VS Philips 600 CMH Showdown

    3 Down - One to go. The remaining plant (G13) is about a week behind. It was grown/flowered completely with LED. The harvested plants will be re-vegged minus the low yield specimen. It will be replaced by a seedling.

    NorthernLeitz FB-400-5 Watt LED + 300 Apollo LED VS Philips 600 CMH Showdown

    . The CMH side has been shut down to make cooler temps for the dry. Moved the G-Happy over under the FB 400-5 as the Northern Lights will go back into veg for the next test. Heres the actual power draw of a FB400-5

    NorthernLeitz FB-400-5 Watt LED + 300 Apollo LED VS Philips 600 CMH Showdown

    I will attempt to improve my Harbor Freight $3 magnifying lens technique. You get the drift. Both sides are getting gooey at day 50. Just going yellow ---> Amber. Snip Snip will be soon. Will post some post harvest pics soon.

    NorthernLeitz FB-400-5 Watt LED + 300 Apollo LED VS Philips 600 CMH Showdown

    More stretch than i expected with the LED's. May be hard to tell but flower development is pretty solid well down into most of the plant. The CMH is only getting good development on the upper third of the plant. Slightly more open pattern on the LED side and the NL more so with the apical...

    NorthernLeitz FB-400-5 Watt LED + 300 Apollo LED VS Philips 600 CMH Showdown

    Both sides looking good. Largest buds on the CMH but only the 3 that are close to the cool-tube. LED side is winning in total volume with superior penetration.

    NorthernLeitz FB-400-5 Watt LED + 300 Apollo LED VS Philips 600 CMH Showdown

    Swifty here decided to position the LEDs up on the ceiling. In the process he manged to break off about 6 of the top stems. Did a graft: Bummer still lost the top 4 but saved a few. I will conservatively add 10% to the total yield for this plant when this saga ends. Guess we will...
