Nice man lookin good
Thanks dude, its hard to imagine that only 280 watts fo power is giving me this much bud
Nice man lookin good
Lol I said the same thing about my 170 watts lol I'm only at week six and it looks like that with five to go wtf lol ha ha ha
Can't wait to try one of these 140s side by side because I really wanted one of these but could afford it as basically my second grow ever was starting and I was rebuilding from scratch. Now it's feasible and I wanna see the difference these panels are what sold me on LEDs originally that and the blackstars. But these always impressed more with build qualiy and knowledge in theory. I had just seen zero and I mean zero results til now and I'm impressed
Mmm xpe reds I really want him to add he Luxeon hips for he far red he's missing as free doesn't produce the spectrum but I'm happy with ur results so far on current setup
I think that very few led makers have archived onto this flowering time, there is something in the spectrum choices of a very few, that allow that to happen; Might be something to do with that "big talk use of green diodes". Or something else, as soon as I make my head around it, I'll get back on the subject!I left all that to him mate hes the expert, his knowledge on the subject is amazing.
Do you find flowering much longer than usual with you set up dude? Thats the only downside i can find with led growing, it seems to take mine an extra 14 or so days to be ready.

I am at the end of week twelve and they are not ready yet! a 8 weeks strain! I know I had issues, overfed and deficiencies but.. come on
LED grows are taking longer to flower? interesting. I am on my first cab grow with LED. My oldest auto is 82 days and still not ready, close though.
Apparentely there is something to to with far red 720 or 740nm? Something to do with the sunrising and sunset.... some people give a hour of far red first thing in the morning and last thing in the eve? There is a guy on icmag that has experienced one week less flowering than HPS, compared to not using far red flowering was taking one extra week compared to HPSI find they take about 2 weeks or so longer, id like to find out why and to see if there is a way to speed it up without having to use HID. I am growing monsters though so this may have some baring on it.
Hi dude, I wouldn't go with another intake as it will reduce the efficiency of the out-take fan with less negative pressure in the cab. You could try adding a small 6" oscilating fan (under the canopy) aimed slightly upward.. or possibly get replacement In-Line Fan with a higher CFM movement.. in the mean time if you keep getting condensation on the doors etc keep wiping it of until dry with kitchen towel.. too much humidity can and often does cause mould.. and I'd hate to see that happen !!I have one in there and 4 moisture traps so i think ill be ok, ill add another intake hole, that should sort it. Its weird because it doesnt seem humid in there at all. Its not warm mind so thats something, its just miserable damp UK weather
So budbaby, if I was you, I would experiment with a maybe only one growspot, over only one plant, and compare the difference. I don't have Richard Panels but I will most likely have one, anyway that's what I would do. Maybe also with a green one over an other plant, and see what happens? I have enquired the source of my light, if the far reds and greens are missing, I will do the same! I have found at eshinesystem (china), a growspot that can be customized any wavelenght you like. They are 12 x 1w diodes, bridgelux and/or epistar, not the best but I think they would do the job. They are also CHEEAP at $22 each!
THIS IS FROM KNNA, A GENIUS GUY WHO HELPS PEOPLE MAKING THEIR OWN LED:
I had always said that some green light is required for a good spectrum efficacy. Check this other thread for more details (posts #3 and #5, and links in the latter).
How much to use is strongly dependent of the irradiance level used.Its related to leaf morphology, which account for large differences between plants with different leaf shapes and thickness. Most of red and blue light is absorbed on the upper and bottom leaves's epidermis layer. While green and yellow light is mostly absorbed in the inner part of leaves.
On the other hand, blue and red light is absorbed very well, but saturation point is relatively low, and past a point of irradiance of both, net photosynthesis gain is greatly reduced.
At the irradiance used for veg, usually green/yellow light is not required because sub saturation levels are more than enough to provide the required energy to the plant (although a little green dont harm). But for bloom, if we want huge colas we need to use irradiance levels too high to accomplish the task with just red and blue. Additionally green/yellow light plays an important role regulating high irradiance levels. So using them is a must during bloom phase, especially the second half.
But yellow and especially, green LEDs are very inefficient at the current state of art. It makes very little sense to use them. Instead, white LEDs provide a decent amount of green/yellow at good efficiency. So it is possible to use cool whites on a good number with red LEDs or use neutral and still warm whites with blue and red LEDs. Thats the way of getting a balanced spectrum with the best efficiency. __________________

Hope thats of some help ... I've been well busy the last few weeks and am just catching up on my buddies threads etc... lemme know how you resolve your humidity issues - STELTHY
