nice im interested in led also . this shall be interesting

 

[VerdantGreen]

yeah you might find that you can get a bit better yield by topping and/or training... but it all depends on your situation and how you like to grow.... i wouldnt worry about temps in the 80's with LED, just keep them well watered and ventilated

thanks for the suggestions, usually i leave the plants with the original shape but next time i'll try ciao ciao

I Led non riesco di penetrare tanto in profondo, allargando le piante si offre più luce a più punte.

That's the idea at least, and it certainly works for VG.

ciao here at the end of the fifth (Wednesday), the decisive weeks are coming. I hope that temperatures will continue over this range (at least I can give some magic potion).
However at the moment i am quite happy. Comments and impressions are welcome ciao ciao

ciao bro here we are again after one week (end of the 6th) unfortunately his summer is very hot, anyway the new photos. I noticed that contrary to what one believes the LEDs work very well in depth. sorry for the terrible english ciao ciao

temp max

Hi there,

Since you seem to have both HID and LED I would suggest using both if your situation allows. I buy the reasonably priced HID bulbs and compliment strategically placed red/blue UFO's.

Just my 2 cents Canadian.

great looking girls. You can't easily beat the quality of leds, however, the lightprint and sheer volume of light are 2 factors that deserve consideration(to mitigate this I usually recommend to people interested a series of 90 or 120w since your light print maxes between 2x2 and 3x3 [despite any manufacturers claims]). Anyone curious I used LEDS exclusively (vert ufos in conjunction with horizontal wall panels) for about 2 years, and I have been using them for another 2 with my HIDS in my bloom.

Also worthy of note, All blue LED's are a very nice boost for vegging plants.

cheers,

Dear friends here we are at the end of the seventh week. Because of increasingly high temperatures (max always above 34°) and after having "tested" one I decided to cut at the end of the week. Thanks to mandala (genetic truly stress tested). I am fully satisfied waiting for better temperature ciao ciao

nice~~

 

[ixnay007]

They look good!

 

[woolybear]

very nice grow!

i think your LED lights are getting good penetration because the structure of your plants is nice and open.

Its been hot here as well. When its hot, I turn off the LEDs and leave a single CFL bulb on to keep it cool.
