90wattufoLED

hey everybody this is my first post, and i im a first time farmer....

i just got a 90watt ufo tri band LED light (they said it was equal to a 400watt hps light, sooo we'll see about that)

i have a small stealthy growing space approx.
14inches wide 20inches long and 28inches tall (and i covered it all in aluminum foil because a friend said it would help reflect the light better)

i have heard that the LED lights are decent for the veg. phase, but sometimes suck at the flowering phase...



any TIPS for increasing my yield?? and having a good flowering phase and not a bad one???

any help would be greatly appreciated...

Someone just posted a seed to harvest using the LED pannels from sunmaster. He made me a believer. Im CFL right now, and next year when i replace my bulbs, im going LED.

28" tall seems a bit short considering the size of the planter and the size of the lights. This box is wooden right? If not, it will fall apart as you grow. Also, flat white paint is a better reflector than foil, and it doesnt conduct electrcitiy in case you have an accident.

I suggest FIM, LST and more FIM. The FIM will give you more nodes and the LST will turn each node into a mail cola with lots of budsites.

first u should probably use white paint or mylar instead of alu. foil.

To boost flowering i guess u could try to add a red 200w cfl (http://hydroponics.eu/product.asp?Id=1678-SonLight+FLUO+200W+Red+-+2700%B0K)

or a 250w red hps (http://hydroponics.eu/product.asp?Id=4811-Easy+Kit+250W+HPS+++Sonlight+HPS-TS+250W)

i dont know what u use for nutrients but if u want up to 50% more bud u should go with for example (http://hydroponics.eu/product.asp?Id=1658-Mega+Pack+ATAMI+BIO) instead of nothing or a jug of crap from your local shop

there aint much u can do other then getting more or other light.

Thinking of trying all out on LEDs myself but if im gonna do it ill probably buy the most expensive 1300$ supernova enhanced to avoid getting disapointed.

thanks
maybe i'll post some pics in the near future

Ya I will be starting my grow here soon with led on a larger scale with 2-3 ufo's in hydro, for your available size I would almost gow with lowryder or something auto flowering because they wont get bigger than 22" which is almost all u have. So that is my advice for you but no worries on the lED, do the entire inside with foil if you are going to do that by the way. Keep us updated.

Definitely ditch the foil.

If he wants to shell out some cash for Mylar let him, sounds liek he is on a budget however mylar for that space wouldnt be much

SG

how much was your ufo?
