Growing with led isnt difficult, In many ways its actually easier a you have fewer drawbacks than HID. If you do decide to look into led heres a link for a place that offers a ton of led grow lights in just about every price range. Throw in a 300-500 watt led light and your yield will go UP...

An immediate advantage of led would be low heat production. You would also cut your energy use if that matters.

Kudos for the commitment, Seems like you are very passionate. Out of curiosity did you notice improvement in finish quality when incorporating a led grow light?

Glad to hear you identified the problem, So cutting back the nutes on that plant like you did should rectify the problem. Hopefully the damage isnt severe and it will spring right back.

Heres an example of sativa's stretching. A while back a friend of mine had a few extra clones from an almost pure sativa strain (cant remember the exact strain) that he needed to get rid of. I am more of an indica guy but didnt want to see them go to waste as he was considering just tossing...

To start with Indica's and sativa's usually look very different. Most Indica strains are shorter and very bushy, Sativa's are typically tall and lanky. Another thing to consider is the distance between the canopy and light, If the light is placed too closely the plants will divert energy into...

If you are thinking about a re-do you may want to try something like this DIY hydroponics system. Looks like it would cost $40-$50 for the system plus the cost of a pump. Im guessing it could be running for under $100 if you were frugal about it. Anyways this setup might be a good way to try...

Superstoner1 isnt wrong, Combine moisture with an energy source (light) and you have a breeding ground for mold. Throw some aluminum foil or a few plastic plates with slits in them over the medium to stop the mold from growing. As far as temperature of the reservoir goes have you considered...

Spanky84, Came across this a minute ago and thought it was worth posting. Not sure it will answer your question but is handy.

Regarding res changes I again am far from a hydro expert but I would think a change every 7 days is more than adequate. I would think changing any more frequently would simply be a waste of nutrients.

Spanky84, I did a little looking to find a remedy to your current issue with the color change and curling of the leaves. I did come across an article here on rollitup that might be of interest. Hope this helps if the problem is not yet under control. Try reading this and see if it applies...

Im a relative newbie when it comes to hydro, With limited knowledge in the area fyi. Just getting ready to start my first full scale hydro-grow so im still learning as I go. I did notice though that you didnt specify how frequently you are changing the reservoir? It could be as simple as your...

There is a fair amount of science behind growing with led's. From what ive learned the keys are Spectrum, Wattage, and Penetration. As the technology is evolving the led's themselves are becoming better tuned to the spectrum's needed, More powerful and efficient which also plays into...

This thread reminds me of a story, It may not be on target with the questions but it is pretty damn funny. So years ago in my late teens I was over at a buddies house burning a bowl playing some xbox with some friends. While hanging out my best friend whose apartment we were at tells me that...

Spanky's, Its been a while since I bought my DIY led grow light kit, But when I was looking for that link I noticed they also have much larger kits now all the way up to 200 watts. So a larger kit would probably be the better way to go depending on the sq footage of your grow cab.

Spanky's, Something you might want to consider is a DIY led grow light kit from evolutiongrowled.com They sell a few sizes and are quite cheap as far as led lighting goes. I started out with a 50w kit (Paid $100) and had good results from 1-2 plants at a time. After a while I upgraded to a...
