Hi yal, just wanted to show the mj community my one and only 100% led grow.The results exceeded my expectations. 3oz dry from 7 just rooted clones.Damn good system for those with space/ heat issues.Not for large scale grows-anything bigger than a grow tent. If I could re-do the experiment I would have built my own panels.But what I had worked fine.You just need alot of leds, and it gets expensive.But how much is a bag o dank nowadays?For some poor bastard out there paying 400 an oz this could be the option, if situation dictates. Or to supplement a relatively lower wattage hps grow 150-250w, which is what I'm doing now.Pics to follow. peace

Great grow.
Love that last shot. Like your plant is at a 1978 disco party.

Looking into diving in the LED world soon myself. Any chance I can get a rundown of lights and watts per each there is?

you got 1-illuminator ufo-tri band spectrum-2-45 w red/blue panels-1-14w red/blue panel-the bulb fixture held 7-5w 660nm red bulbs-230w- I'd say I pulled close to what a 400w would pull.... without the heat.These things work, they just havent been used properly. The following pics are from my 250whps/350w led combo grow-I'm at 34 days flower. peace

Thanks for the rundown BF. Answered alot of questions and doubts for me there. Was planning on a combo deal similar to that. Just with only 2 plants at a time.

I failed to mention that 3 weeks into the led grow I added 24w of 1w diode high power cree white leds. It was like bud development kicked into over-drive.660nm reds and white leds? That would be an interesting experiment. More pix from my hps/led combo grow this evening. peace

by building his own board with higher output leds- he managed to get like 59g .... w 60w! Im pretty skeptical about most things but I've been watching this guy for months and he is the real deal. peace
 
man u got any room left in ya box/room left for plant growth. lol that thing crammed wit LED's . not knockin the set up any tho, by all means they look excellect ladies.
 
For those thinking of doing a similar hybrid-lighting grow; 2-660nm red ufo's can be bought on e-bay from the manufacturer in Xiang China for 400US delivered. An oz of dank usually costs that much, right? If you had a 250w hps or a 150w hps in one of the smaller homeboxes- horizontally mounted- with the 2 ufo's as side lighting- sit back and watch the magic.And dont forget the white leds.Although I believe 6500k fluoros work fine too.I use an 80/20 r/b-white ratio. peace

Quick question. HOW MUCH did you pay for all those LED lights?

lol it does look crazy in there dont it?:holysheep: the beauty of the leds is that you can basically stick them right in the lower canopy.With this method I dont get any more under-developed buds.But you made me think that maybe it's time to get a bigger tent! Stick around for more madness, and thanx 4 the compliment. peace

about a grand for the whole setup- it paid for itself in the first harvest- not much of a return as a comparable hps system- cost and such.But for right now if cost was an issue, I'd steer towards a good hps set-up w/ hortilux lamp. I love tech- and this project really gave me something to sink my teeth into.HPS growing wasa getting boring to me;)
 
Hey,,more power to ya if you have that kinda a money to play with,,must be nice in these economical times.;) 1000.00 for lights is to rich for my blood. Good luck with it though Bro.

will do just that :watchplant: :goodposting:
 
I'll post a couple diy led panel threads.With the higher output leds available, theres no limit to what you can build. And at a fraction of cost.THIS... is the way to go.To hell with the greedhead merchants, learn from my impulsiveness-YOU CAN EASILY BUILD A KICK *** SYSTEM AT HOME. peace fellow growers

That is exactly what I'm talking about-good find, that thing is a beast. I bet you could build one of those for a tenth of the cost Xiang China has been charging for their slave labor built units.
