Beautiful looking plants......these LED units definitely seem to be worth the (enormous) pricetag.

How much/little heat does a big unit like that give off? - compared to a HID?

great work theherbalizor cant wait to see this finished result.

 

[theherbalizor]

Thanks guys, Took some day 42/43 shots this morning.

One thing I think I have had the light to close as the tops of some of the buds are doing that crazy crystal production thing. The buds look bleached but if you look closer its just heads of trichomes.

Whilst I am sure it looks great, it probably slows growth slightly. So raised the light to about 14 inches.

Will update later or tomorrow.

so much tricomes! Looking wonderfull

 

[rastaidd]

looking great man!!!

 

[theherbalizor]

OMG you wait till you see my next shots. Best I have ever taken.

And folks say LEDS can not grow bud... hAHAHA.

 

[OrganicOzarks]

Very Nice. I am very imressed. It seems the only thing holding back LED's is the price.

 

[one Q]

^ yup. I was thinking today that even if you buy a light today, tomorrow it'll be outdated. Like a computer, buy the top of the line one today, and in a year, the next joints smash the one you just got!! The advancements will be rapid in the coming years.

OK guys, day 43 update.

These are loving it as am I. I am very impressed with this so far. Stunningly surprised.

Also getting to grips with the camera and lenses.

So all shots taken with Nikon D90 - still all auto settings.

First few with Nikor 16-85 DX lense.

Then the Tamron F2 60 m Macro

And the super close ups Sigma 105 DG EX.

Day 43

 

[one Q]

last one and third up deserve POTM. how do you nominate? they look like Sea Anemone

 

[Irie_Lion]

I can see the lil snowcaps of trichs. Starting on some as u mentioned previously. Fillin in nicely though...and the new close up lense is takin some nice shots...where did u pick it up at?

Not really, The good LED company have already fullspectrum and 3w diods for more powerful flowering. Not so much more to improve..

Its like HPS, a new brand bulb, a new super ballast, a new super reflector and more. Its always more u can improve..

But like you say the price will probably drop more, but u can get a 300w for less than 650 $ from ledgrow.se including shipping to US.

Its pretty good price and u probably earn it in a year only in electric bill..

U could check my led grow out..

Peace!

Thanks guys, these plants will run till around the 77 day mark. Poss a little further.

Here is a day 49 update. These have just started Top shooter feeding and are looking great. The smell is IMMENSE. Way stronger smell than under the HID lamps.

 

[Marlo]

This is turning out alot better than I expected. I'm suprised to say the least.
You have officially got me interested in LED's.
