Hello all, I know that many are wanting to see a true seed-to-harvest grow done under one of LEDGirl's units. Well, I wanted to get the ball rolling by showing you a few pictures of the grow cabinet I have put together - I'll only post a couple, and you can see the rest in the album. For some reason, the gallery puts the pictures in a SNAFU'd order, sorry
Fueling up first!
Almost there!
Yes! Doors!
And today, with two DWC's and a 126w HGL:
Here's the link to the rest of the pics.
As soon as either I kill all these plants (I'm KIDDING!), or get them through harvest, I will be installing another 126w unit (ordered tonight), and doing some modifications to the cabinet; the end result being 252 total watts over an area of just over 3.8 square feet (29" x 19"), or about 66.3 watts/sq. ft. This will be used to grow two plants from seed, and since my goal is to not have to mess with sexing, I will use feminized (and possibly auto flowering) stock.
My intention will be to fim the two plants then fill the screen as much as possible, exposing maximum budsites and showing everyone that using LEDs to their potential, (not treating them like spherical or cylindrical point sources) in a scrog will produce a fine yield, even for a very new grower like me.
The ultimate goal will be 1 gm./W, or 252 grams (8.8 oz) of dried/cured meds, from two plants from this existing set up. One grow alone at this rate would provide me more than 4 months worth of medicine. Also, this is to demonstrate that even a novice grower like myself can use LEDs efficiently and not have to mess with the "complexities" of hvac/HID/ballasts and get great results.
Seed-to-Harvest. 252 Watts. Two DWC Buckets and an airpump. Stay tuned.
