even though ive messed this grow up i have to say that l.e.d lights do produce the most amount of trichs on your plants, im proper impressed with the covering on the s60

enlarge the pics for best results ;)

nice skotty, she looks much happier now.. the leaves look sweet.
I hope they keep budding up for you

I'm definetly tempted by an LED, hopefully the prices will come down a little this year.. (i know it should probably be treated as an investment and will pay for itself in bud and electricity etc etc but the initial cost is scary)

ps they almost look seeded in a couple of those pictures?

So skotty how much long have they got? amazing trich production. I was fairly sceptical of the growth especially the flower potential with LEDs but a group I work with is now using a prototype from some company. I am impressed! By yours as well. Nice job by the way, and too bad about the meter. that alway is a pain, out the money and a grow.

Peace

mate led lights produce bud FACT and not only do they produce bud they produce frosty buds :)

this is not 1 of my trophy grows infact ill put my hands up and say its my worst grow ive ever conducted in the 14 months ive been growing lol but that is purley my errors

she is flushing now cause ive had a bit of a dilemma with my led light 2 of the l.e.d lights are not lighting up so the panel is being shipped back to the manufacturer

im currently using 250 watt blue cfl which is vegging my blue venom

i did go to purchase a 250 watt hps light in the week and wanted the lumatek digital ballast but they were out of stock and i wouldnt accept the magnetic type ballast, the digital ballast has a lumen control switch where you can set the power to 30% upto super lumens which i thought was a sound idea

im keeping my options open and looking for the best deal

nah mate you miss understood im not looking to run both together,

the hps was to fill the gap while i wait for my new led panel to arrive as oppose to cfl

i will buy a 250 watt hps kit with diamond reflector and lumitek digital ballast and keep it for emergency backup in case of any future miss haps :)

im well and truly in the led camp now ive seen what it can achieve with my own eyes ;)

so here is a pic of my led light which is showing the 2 lights that are malfunctioning :(

so i contacted hydrogrowled and spoke to the team over in the usa about the problem and they asked me to check that the power supply inside the case is not affecting the leds, they sent me a detailed diagram of how to do this procedure and the result showed that it wasnt a faulty power supply :(

they requested me to send the light back to them and they will refund the charges so i set up a collection with ups which cost me £157 to ship the light back to the manufacturers and its being picked up tommorow by ups

hydrogrowled have without hesitation refunded the full £157 back into my account with in a matter of 24 hours of me sending them the reciept and i arrived home today to find a brand new 345 watt led panel waiting for me :)

now with all the bad press hydrogrowled got in the past i can honestly say that the service i have just recieved has to be the best in town, not only have i reiceved a brand new replacement light in less time than its took me to send mine back they also paid for the shipment of my faulty light

i honestly take my hat off to them and can not recommened them enough if you wanna buy an led panel

im by no means trying to promote them im just telling people of my dealings with this comapny and with all the bad press they got i think they deserve credit when they get something right

im 1 happy uk grower right about now much respect

and here is pics of my brand new led light :):dance013:

sweet, nice result mate..

How much would a 345w run me these days?

What sort of coverage/spread does it have?

im actually stoked right now of how quick and well its all been handled im literally blown away :)

the light initally cost £600 iirc but has paid for itself 3 x over in just 2 succsefull grows and it has a 3 year warranty

my tent is 120 x 80 x 180 and it covers that space no problems

i think the light is best suited in a tent 1m x 1m x 2m

and it has no trouble vegging your plants either

have to say that the sour 60 tastes fooking naughty :)

had a burn last night an was more than impressed with her flavour and buzz, she had some sort of weird twang zingy taste to her and left my tongue tingling and the effects were real sociable uplifting high, had a few close freinds round and made a night of it with some hysterical laughter and random chat

id deffo grow her out again and she should be added on every 1s list of strains to grow at least once just to experience her unique flavour

definatley not the strongest plant ive grown but the effects are a laugh and she does leave you wanting more

im curious cause now i wanna see these other phenos lol

8/10
