Opinions on LED's?

Just thought I'd add my stuff to help the cause... I may do a 100% LED grow later in the year just to make notes etc oh the T5's I only used to light the sides for photos only, (not to grow with) due to wanting to keep the temps down and in the last week of flower I took off the 125W and added a 150W CFL so all in all I suppose you could say it was a 330W grow but thats still 70W less than a 400W HID/MH/HPS grow and am guessing that my grow out performed HID lighting (on this occasion) :) - STELTHY

where do you get the clasp top jars? I have looked all over and only find the metal tops.

I got these from Asda, so am guessing ... Walmart? Most home baking shops are good places to look and also......I gave up on Jars and now use air tight food storage containers as they are easier to store away .. for a 'rainy day' :) - STELTHY

Serapis show me where I started calling you names or bashed quality LEDs before you called me "closed minded"......that's bullshit. You started calling names first lmfao. Also I never said LED's don't work and I never "hated" them. The OP was talking about the shitty ebay panels which do in fact suck ass. Nothing I said was untrue or misleading. You seriously need to back off. And about the electric bill.....It would take 50 months of my $40 a month electric bill to equal a $2000 600w LED setup. Just consider that...50 months.

GG What is the most yield you got with just 1 600??
The most I ever got was 23 oz. That was 2 violater kush, 1 NYS and 1 Northern Lights. I hope to break that record.

So he did get 23 oz from 1 600 and you can go to the album and check the pics.

Got here the feminized Berry, THC, SLH, and LSD from seed (1 of each) and they are now entering day 2 of their 3rd week of veg and so far I'm impressed. I've got them on a solid homemade aeroponic system doing 15 minutes on and 30 minutes off with a 400W HPS light doing 18hrs on and 6hrs off at about 18" away from the top (horizontal) attached to a hammered light-reflector. Though no fans nor Co2, these meds are not enclosed in a closet nor confided in a tight space. Based on the hand test, the temp feels like tropical hotness but not too much as to burn.

I've been using advanced nutrients' Micro, Grow, Bloom, B52, and Overdrive, and also adding canna rhizotonic and cannazym to the mix.
Here's my nutrients input for a 3-week vegetative cycle:
during the first two weeks I use Rhizotonic as directed and 2mL of Overdrive per L in my reservoir;
then for each week of the 3 weeks of veg, I use:
B-52 at 2mL per L;
Micro at 5mL per L;
Grow at 4mL per L;
Bloom at 4.5mL per L.

As far as the flowering cycle, I am planning on using:
Cannazhym as directed for each week;
Micro at 4mL per L foe each wk;
Grow at 4mL/L the 1st wk then 4.5mL the 2nd wk, and 5mL for each wk after that;
Bloom at 4mL/L duringn the first half of the flowering cycle, then increasing to 5mL/L for each wk after that;
Rhizotonic as directed for the first 2 wks only;
Overdrive at 2mL/L the 1st wk and the last 2 wks only;
and B52 at 2mL/L from the 3rd wk until the beggining of flushing;
I am planning on doing a flushing with nothing but tap water for one week right before harvest.

I've topped them using uncle Ben's technique (Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to Get 2 or 4 Main Colas) and got the four main colas/kolas. I've also been taking two clones out of each one of them on day 1 of week 2. They've been growing so fast that I've topped them again to let 4 more main kolas for each of the 4 initial main kolas on day 1 of week 3.

They are growing so fast! I've never seen anything like it. Actually, it's my first time growing and I'm not smoking anything until they are ready to smoke! It's a peaceful hobby and taking care of plants heals me in a way. Needless to say, I'm excited about this growth!
The characteristics about these strains were particularly attractive to me when I had to choose a strain. For me it was the yield to thc % ratio and with a fruity or candy taste apparently.

I am new to this site, and would welcome anyone with some help, tips or advice to get me on the right track with the advanced care of plants or other things such as friendship, journal entries, good references, etc. Feel free to holla at me. Peace!
