1st LED GROW!

For my first grow i bought a 225 led panel think it was only 14watts or somethin i had'nt a clue about growing jus thought id see how it went i had 2 plants from seed they sprouted and grew bout 6-8 inches then fell over and snapped lol, i was pissed but a couple months of studying the plant and its needs i got a 90watt ufo and my plants are goin good just switched the lights to 12/12. It will be interesting to see how this turns out, to be honest i think thats too many plants for your panel to handle but hope im wrong, goodluck wit this one keep us updated wit pics...

Any luck I ever had on LED panels was watt for watt. If I took out a 400 watt MH I had to use 350 watts or more of LED.

I've been on the indagro 400 induction bi-spectrum lights now for going on 7 months running 12/12 cycles. Ck out their website and grow pics. They run sooo much cooler and a 400 replaces a 750 HPS with longer lamp life and averaging 300 grams/meter with less then 1/2 the power consumption.

Best of luck

So do you get 300 grams with it?

I dont know it sounds very hard to believe that 400 watts of led can replace 750 watts of hps.Very hard...Then it not like he has proof he is saying to look at another led website which most people know they say whtever to sell the products,

The LED panel i bought was from hydrogrowled and it was supposed to be suitable for all stages of plant growth. I spent $1,300.00 and used it only for veg. It did not flower worth a shit I'm sorry to say. The salesperson told me I needed a second one because the canopy wasn't getting enough light.

No I'm not talking about referring you to a different LED website at all. inda-gro.com sells just EFDL bi-spectrum induction systems that if you've never heard of induction grow lights you will find informative. So no I did not buy a second panel from hydogrowled because the EFDL is taking me from veg to bud under one lamp on yields of 300 g/m. I suggest these before you end up going back to HPS because the heat from the 1000 watt HPS was killing me.

thanx for the input man i appreciate it.. i will update later today

so updated pics are going to have to wait a few days till my girlfriend gets back with her camera

i wanna do LED just for the awesome light it emits. u have to hide the hideous orange light but that light could be shown off people will just think u have lotsa mood lighting )

my eyes would hurt from staring at that light all the time..i hear and read LED's are such a waste of money. but ive seen some good grows with them

ya im wondering the same thing, might buy a more heavy duty one but thats about as far as im going for experimenting.. i love this little panel tho it fits so perfect.. i think im going to stick with 9 plants instead of 12..

I have a glowpanel 45 too.I have 19x34x17 Packer 45 by Deltra. It is a plastic truck bed tool box. I'm growing 4 plants. I gonna LST,tie them down. I want to put a couple cfl 26 wt. I have used all cfl for my grows. Should be sweet!

Good luck, Gibbs. I just saw this thread, but I'm here to say LEDs are grossly misunderstood by all sides of the issue.

I'm using a 36w Kessil magenta, (30w lights 6w fan). Before I began, I never would've believed the performance I've seen from such low wattage. Light penetration is far superior.

Other LED technologies have a ways to go to catch up to the way Kessil focuses the light stream. This little light will blow your mind. Perfect for small grows...and big (with multiple lights on light movers).

Gibbs i have to say dont beleive shit from people unless thay have proof.Some people just surf the net finding stories and give you info like they know what they talking about instead of from personal experience.So keep doing what you are doing and go by your exp with them.

Edit since im getting reported to mods for asking a guy to prove his point.You can tell who is the kid here.all my posts were deleted

Lmao funny shit kids

can we get back to topic on hand, this man 1st led grow? Thank you!!

DONT FUCK UP MY THREAD, im subbed to this one kids thread where he put 8 plants in one pot and stacked the pot on top of tons of books on a chair to his light on his ceiling lmao.. u should see how much BULLSHIT is in his thread from ppl bitching him out telling him off this and that, DONT FUCKING DO THAT TO MY THREAD, that kinda shit just pisses me off, im friends with both of u, stop jumpin on each others shit, i will take in info i believe will help me.... whether it is tru or not i will find out for myself.. so BOTH OF YOU stop, please.

that sounds like a nice little system, i want to read more about it.. link? the only thing ive really started to like about LEDs is there is NO heat, and im not worried about blowing anything up with using too much power haha.. we will c how well the one i have does tho, again i like it cuz it fits so perfectly under my computer desk.. in the end mayb it wont do so well for the space, the space might be a tad too big, so i might have to add some CFLs or something.. but i will wait awhile before doing anything like that.. gotta give the panel a chance first so. AND i def. dont think i will be flowering any of these plants with it.. they are too precious to me to waste on an experiment when i have a 1000watt HPS and a light mover just sitting around.

Sorry about the craziness, Gibbs, but I'm being hounded by a maniac. It's been taken care of, I hope, but I apologize.

Here's the link. Read the page about a new breed of LED.

I understand your situation, but I wanted to pass this along to you.
