Subscribed, nice to see someone having success with a lot wattage LED/CFL grow :) gives me hope for my new 100% LED grow. I see that UFO isn't penetrating too well. Might be beneficial to look into scrogging your next batch of clones. Keeps the canopy completely uniform and you won't lose any...

I think that's so cool about the horse drawn hearse!!! The 3 gun salute and the bugle/trumpet player was playing taps likely. It's been the standard for like ever, so I'm sure that was probably the one they played. I'm glad some aspects of the funeral were enjoyable man. Way to wish your grandpa...

If those are really 19.5" in length that is HUGE. That's almost 2 ft for a panel only putting out 15w of light. Tbh, I think if you're going to invest money into LEDs, get the high power ones. The 5 or 10mm diodes are just cheap. They won't penetrate like you want. If you're using an area with...

Sounds good man :) Might wanna check this site out. Might help ya find what's optimum.

If you did some sort of training or supercropping or something to keep the height down, I would say up to 4 if you have smaller plants. Personally, I like growing plants out to maturity before flowering. That way you know 100% for sure that you've got females. I've always been lucky though and...

I have seen plenty of decent LED grows as well, greenthumb's threads were pretty good. He's using the 5mm LEDs though I believe. I believe all of the LEDs panels advertised out there are worthless for the money spent. For those that have the really high power ones I'm eager to see how they...

@purplecream, Those panels he's using are WAYY better than those 225 LED panels. They would be sufficient to veg 1 plant, but nowhere near close to flower them. You're going to need at least 90w, I say 90w because that's what UFOs are rated. They're pretty much the standard for LED lights even...

I'm sure it would be better with all the types of lighting. Then you wouldn't miss any of the spectrum except maybe UV-B, but that's not really needed. See, I would use more lighting but I'm looking at only a 3 ft tall micro cab. I wouldn't be able to handle the issues with heat if I added a...

Wow, I would have never thought they weigh 30 lbs each! They just don't look that heavy but I know looks can be decieving. I really don't think you need to move them though, they look pretty intense the way they are :) I personally would run many little plants intead of a few monsters. I'm...

Thanks guys, everything is looking wonderful right now, sooo eager to see them fatten up. There are already tons of crystals. :) And lemme tell ya, scrog is way better than seeing a fat main cola. There's just a little canopy of green with white hairs all over, truly a marvel!

Hey man, I've been looking into LEDs for quite some time. The one with less watts and more diodes is probably not worth your time unless you can get multiples of it in there. The reason being, the 1w LEDs put out more light than the .25w ones even if you have 4 of them. This may not be the case...

Research is key in this little hobby of ours! Sometimes we make mistakes that benefit us right? ;) Eager to see buds grow on her too! Haven't seen one quite as trained as that flower so it should be really interesting! -crunk

They both look like they're doin good ;) From what I hear, with hps you'll need at least 150 cfm to vent out, intake doesn't have to be as good then because you get backpressure in the cab. There's more pull on the air going out, so air coming in gets sucked in faster, even if you have a lower...

I don't want to discourage you, but with the elderly once one goes the other is soon to follow(not all cases). I guess it's because they give up the will to live on without their beloved. I hope she doesn't go this route and I hope she stays on top of her health so there will be more memories...

You may wanna check out my CFL/LED grow man, I know all about scrog. It's AWESOME :) I agree, lumens is pretty much a staple right now in the industry, and it's kind of sad because most people don't know better. Idk though, scrogging a sativa is rather difficult once they start growing. The...

I'm sorry to hear about this man! Death is a very tragic thing to have to deal with. I haven't lost any grandparents yet, so I don't know exactly how you feel. I did however attend a funeral this past weekend and helped my parents host the reception for a dear family friend who passed. At least...

Now we can look into the laws of light a little bit more haha. I do agree with the statement about foot candles, that is the technical definition of lumen. Say I've got a 50w LED(1 diode), a 50w HPS and a 50w CFL. The CFL and HPS emit light in a 360 degree pattern. Because of this, nearly half...

Lumens are the measurement of how humans see light. Plants don't see lumens the same way people do since they don't absorb as much green light as our eyes see. So watts is a perfectly reasonable measurement in my eyes. 1000w of LED won't even compare to 600w of HPS in terms of lumens, because...

After looking at those pics, I immediately recognized you have some sativas in there. The long spindly looking leaves totally give it away. That sucks that it won't be at 8 week strain like you hoped, but at least you got really nice looking sativas! Personally, I love the sativa high over the...

That makes a lot of sense TalonToker, my first grow was with CFLs and I can tell you for a fact, my buds weren't all fluffy and whatnot. But you know how some of those hps users are, swear by them and won't listen to a word edgewise :P Not saying all of them but I've found lots of them are this...
