213 Watt LED Nirvana Northern Lights Grow

on the subject of the lights.
i've tried everything short of pulling a light out, taking it to a fellow growers place and plugging it and the timer in there to see what i get. i will do this when i get the chance.
i'm beginning to believe it might be the arrays.
the lights are extremely dim, as i stated it's so dark i cannot see the plants or anything for that matter except the very dim leds. kinda like starlight, at least i am hoping.

ok, a little update.
no alternating branches yet, but plant 1 has 7, very tight nodes. 6 tight nodes on plant 2 and 5 on lanky plant 3.
plant 1 is also ready to give up clones, just look at (her, fingers crossed, must be, damn, a beast)

getting there. speaking of pic limits, do you know what happens when you run out of room for pics?

ICmag shuts down
Sex. Dig the pics.
Do you have a cardboard box around those plants? Is it to capture the natural color? If so, and if you're using a point-and-shoot camera, grab a White piece of paper, go into the menu on your camera, choose "White Balance," go to set, aim the camera at the sheet of paper while under your LED's, and set the White balance to the sheet of paper. Now you can take natural color photos of your plants while under the Pink light of your LED.

The plants look very well. How old are they ? Do you run the LED lights at full power at this moment ? Do you intend to supplement the lights when flowering starts ? If I remember correctly you are on 12/12 from seed, or I am wrong ?
Huh ? :jawdrop:
What do you mean by 'ICmag shuts down' ???
I am about to find out and if/when something happens I will let you know. Maybe once we have enough pics posted we get BOOTED
I think it will just tell me that my space is full BUT we will see as I think I only have a lil bit of space left for my account due to my 2012 and now 2013 threads and all the damn pic attachments I posted lol.
I hope they just UP our limits though and assume that is what will happen especially if you are contributing versus just wasting storage space with unwanted/unneeded files etc.
who knows though man its 3:30 in the morning and this lbk wax is KILLIN IT woohoo
yes its cardboard. the cardboard was to deflect the LED lighting so i could try to capture some decent pics. a photographer i am not
wow, thanks for the tip, i am gonna try that.
icmag won't shutdown, oneshot was just joking
plants are 27 days from Cotyledons.
my leds can only run at full power. they are full spectrum.
50% 660nm deep red
10% 630nm red
10% 600nm orange
10% 3500K warm white
20% 460nm blue
at this point i had not planned on any supplemental lighting during flowering. if i do, i will prolly get some warm white and cool white led bulbs from home depot.
was gonna go 12/12 from seed, but i will save that for clones. however, i did flip the lights to 12/12 already on these plants only because i can't have huge plants. they have been flipped for 13 days.
thanks

They all look to have potential, IMO. It will be interesting to see how the selection process pans out.

Hi GP and fellow future Tech experimenters!
I'm an Old grower, new member to IC, but experienced in Cutting edge Tech; probably more on the bleeding side...
I just wanted to thank the Keeper of the Logs and Data- What a Job!
Good work and keep up the unbiased reporting; it has helped many of us decide whether or not to venture where only Trekkies dream; and to use the "beam me up Scotty" when the cheap, unbelievable claims reveal why they are cheap.
I'll be posting some LED results and BOG grows in here to get my membership up to speed, but just wanted to stop by and say Hello and thanks for the info...
Good looking NNL babies, GP!
See ya'!

hey DocZ,
very nice to meet you and always interested in following fellow LED trekkies grows.
you are welcome for the spreadsheets. they kept me motivated and involved during a time in my life when i couldn't grow. they have become a lot of work and i have about 25 other lights i need to add to them right now.
with that said, i plan on continuing the updates and making available to fellow tech experimenters the most available, compiled led retailer/manufacturer information available on the intrawebz.
my goal was to help others understand that LEDs are viable now and good enough now to grow some killer cannabis.
there is still a shitload of doubters out there, but we LED growers are winning them over 1 at a time.
thanks again , look forward to your grow thread. please PM me (if you are over 50 posts, or visitor msg me or post a link here) when you get a thread up and going.
