Black Dog LED grow, hydro

Sidd,
I asked because some have said that some LED's have really loud fans. I'm glad to hear that the Black Dogs are quiet, because everything else about them seems to be the best on the market. Now, if I just had the money... Thanks. -granger

Updates 6.26 lots of good pics
Updates 6.26 lots of good pics
So I did the res change last night and things looked good. I had to raise my light even higher and that was kinda of a pain but got that done. Raised the plant cam as well. So here are the pics
These first to pics are for the HPS guys who say LED's can't "penetrate" whatever the fuck that means.
Notice how the fan leaves on the bottom of these 3+ foot tall plants are still nice and green 20 days into flower, that is because they are still photosynthesizing. Using all the available light the penetrated through the canopy
Some small buds are starting to form so the next weeks will be a little more exciting, stay tuned.

I snapped a few pics of my soil plants growing under my other Platinum XL for fun again. It is a bit more exciting to watch buds form. Starting to look pretty good.

Looking great how far into flower are you in those pictures? Do your organic led grows require less nutes with this light than your hps? Thought I read that LED's use a little less nutes somewhere, but it sounded like a very generalized thing to say to me with different LED's on different brands.

Hey 40,
I use the same nute strength. This go is actually a bit higher EC than usual but i pushed them pretty hard in veg and they didn't show any signs of stress. On the soil plants you can see a bit of over fertilizing, that is cause i tried a no fertilizer recommended by a friend. Didn't like it so i switched back.

Ok cool I am hopefully going to be able to rock some of these as soon as I have the $$$ to invest just wanted to make sure I did not need to change my mix at all. Hate trying new nutes you have a little N toxicity was why I asked, but no big deal we should be able to see just fine what these things can do looks very nice so far I am impressed where I was not even considering this couple weeks ago.

Ya that N toxicity is from when i switched fertilizer for those two watering. Was bummed by that. I should have know better. Oh well, never again. It also caused the Ghost and Diesel to have way more sugar leaves throughout the bud. They usally have very few sugar leaves and more dome shaped bud formation.

So my place was put under mandatory evacuation for a few days, but the good news is everything is looking good. I will be doing a res change tonight and have some photos tomorrow.

Hey Dickhead,
Yes and no. Ca uptake is based off transporation of the plant. Its translocation throughout the plant is a bit different then other nutrients. So if you LED lowers the temp in the room and therefore causes an increase in RH it will change how the plant moves calcium around. And most people would benifiet from doing a regular cal-mg foliar feed once a week. So if you are currently growing plants that are on the verge of having Cal-Mg problems and you switch lights you might see a change. I have really high levels of Ca in my water so I foliar feed with Jack's Classic Bloom to add a boost of Mg to keep the Ca/Mg ratio close to ideal. I am not very good at explaning things like this so i will try and find a good link to ideal cal-mg ratio.

Updated photos
Here are some updated photos. They suffered a little bit from not being able to change the res for so long, but I am sure they will bounce back just fine
This is the Sour Kush. It is getting hard to take photos of these. They are taller then me now, I will admit i made a big mistake not using Bud Ignitor.
Here is the Sour D, this is looking amazing, cant wait for this to come down. Nice and fat and rock hard.
