Wow, I'm really surprised how airy and small the 1000 watt buds are and they don't look finished. The LEDs look better, good job!

I'm glad someone else (especially someone that isn't currantly using led's) sees this as well. Thats been my experience with led's. denser heavier better resin production.

I need to see how this ends!! Excellent thread!!

Get used to it. Seems to be par for the course with LED grows. Manufatcurers don't like it when their products are demonstrated not to perform as advertised.

Whatever. He may be busy, I know for myself, soon I wont be anywhere near a computer.

I have not been on rollitup since '07, but I am doing so to inform anyone reading this. Do not waste your money on an LED system. I just finished a first grow with a 120 Watt tri-band, state of the art, LED grow light, purchased from a reputable company. It really is well made and I'm sure will last forever, but don't bother. I spent $300 on it, and changed out my 400W HPS in the middle of veg. At first everything looked great. The leaves were beutiful green during the end of veg. When I went to flower, the buds started OK and looked great, but then nothing. No Yeild. Zippo, Nada... Maybe 1 oz compared to 5 or 6oz with HPS in my particluar set-up Please take my advise. I am now changing back to my 400W HPS. I really wanted to believe in this technology for the reasons well advertized, i.e., less power, cooler, no identifiable radiation signature... Based on what I learned I would use only for veg, but I'm not convinced it would be any better than cfls.
