Thanks
Just check ebay: cob led grow light

Great tool for super cropping. Seems a lot more efficient than the pinch method. Almost decided to purchase a COB light. Are the ones you have full band or flower? I usually veg with cfl / led mix... Looks like every ting is moving along nicely.

Hi weed, later i will publish more pics, but yeah cob leds are changing my mind about grow leds. They are supose to be for both (veg&flo), I start with mh light since the leds arrive to me a bit later, then i test the leds in veg for like 3 weeks, and they where ok, ladies like it. My big doubt was on flo, but so far everything looks ok. Never try it from seeds tho, but i will.
The new tool is great the best is that you can pinch on any place on the stem without breaking it, not just the upper zone like you can do with your hands. And the best, no more scrog, wich can be a bit messy when you harvest.

Here is the weekly pics update, preflowers everywhere after less than 2 weeks.
Do not like the blurry efect of CFLs, they are just for pics so I can see the green correctly.

Are you thinking to remove some of the leaves to allow deeper penetration of the light ? Or let her grow naturally ?

I will remove some leaves this week probably. I do it all the time, as a rutine (once a week or so). Penetration is suprisely good with those lenses tho.

Thanks, the soil goes to the garden. Any other sugestion? (this will be probably my last indoor soil, DWC much easy to keep)

Regarding the leds I must say that they are working good. Better than HDI? donno yet, the Moby had extra veg work with the leds since I made her everything (topping, cropping, prunning) the last 2 weeks, and she respond great. So far I haven't notice big differences with MH (so is great!). Thumbs up for the leds until now, main reasons: They feel SAFE than HIDs, specially for small spaces & Moby (high light demanding strain) is reacting good to this led.

Last Sunday (08-18-2013) just change to 12/12 so, NOW THE GAME IS ON (For this leds)! :dance013:

Hey Chile was just wondering how things are going??

Hi there, sorry for the delay, I was out of town.
Just check the ladys...ufff getting fatter everyday ;) (tomorrow I will upload some pics)
The coverage of the led should be arround 1 x 1 mt (3x3 feet) the actual coverage of my indoor is much less (first page).
Smoke test? Arround 30 to harvest, and 30 more to dry & cure...but the very first one should be soon jaja ;) (less than 30 days indeed)
