Flowering panel for entire grow? - LED Grow Lights - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

NeWcS · 09-18-2012, 08:44 PM

So I am having issues with my plants. Not sure whats going on with them. Just very slow to grow. you can see more info here; https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.ph...65&postcount=1

Does anyone run flowering model led's from start to finish? My led's do have blue in them but I am starting to wonder if the lack of blue is what is hurting me.

Any thoughts? I am running 2x90w unknown ufo's and a blackstar 245w but all are flowering models.

I would think it would be the other way around, too much blue [or at the wrong nm] could be a problem. Blue hues are for veg.

I was thinking it may be but my last grow I never added cfl's and just ran the straight LED's. I dont know what the heck is going on

LED flower power..........You've either got a weak light. Do not have it close enough or wrong spectrum and ratio or all of the above...I'm sure if you check out VerantGreen's thread, you'll be more amazed. He does some serious growing with straight LED's as well and his ratio and spectrum is much better than mine.

advancedledlights.com lamps have dual modes. veg and flower. i have been extremely satisfied with my diamond series 200 and diamond series xml.

what light cycle do you run them while in veg?

what nutes are you feeding them?

I can see running flower lights in veg causing more stretch but not limit growth itself.

Might just have to go buy some clones tomorrow as I am at a point where I don't know what to do.

IMHO red makes roots at the expense of shoots.

Look at the leaves. It looks like they are doing the light avoidance dance.
I'm not seeing curling, like it's too hot.
Is there visible moisture on the margins of the leaves?
The leaves should be sticking straight out or pointing to the light, like feed me more.
Instead, they're kind of droopy and and saying blah.

What is interesting is the squatness of the plant. Have they been under the these lights from the get go?

What I would do is throw'em under a couple of T5's and see what happens.
