I've my LED for a year, about 3 crops. The first crop I vegged under the LED and later ones T-5s... I think under the LEDs they stayed squatter and had move vigorous shine/color in the leaves...

If you check out my very first grow, those plants were all vegged under LEDs.

I'll take a side picture... you can see the difference in stretch from when I moved the seedlings under the LED.

So yeah, they work great! I think they run much cooler than even the equivalent wattage in CFLs.

I bought my 300w for 1k USD... the vendor has a new model, 290w, for $750. If I was to do it again, I'd buy two smaller panels instead of one big one... the price was the same at the time.

For my next upgrade, I was thinking about trying vert but I think the Grandoggy P would be better suited for regular horizontal growing.

That, and if I went to HID I'd need to start drawing power from my dryer circuit, which is another project, lol.

I may splurge on another LED as I've saved at least $3,000 since i've started growing in weed costs, above the cost of equipment.

First row is the xmas special, top is GDP.

I'm wondering if I mislabelled them lol, so far the Xmas plants are more uniform and vigorous.

Love them all!

day 20 from seed

plants are looking healthy. a bit of yellowing on some leaves, telling me they need more food!

All the girls are quite stocky. They have been transplanted into 1 gallon fiber pots, which will be their forever homes. They've been in them for a couple of days now:

Thanks adrift!

I notice these little guys dont like the cold. Also, a couple seem to be nute hungry!

I am wondering what the next step in training them is. Under the leds they are squat as midgets.... plus i've been running the fan on them so they've developed sturdy stems.

I think I'll simply need to top them at least once very soon. Will have to check out the other threads for info.

thanks icmag

edit: i don't want to top them because theyre so pretty, but i know it must be done. time to clean off the scissors!
