Space: 5x2x6 closet.
Lights: 180w 6th gen UFO, 4x105 Watt (2-2700, 2-5000)
Genetics: 1 Sour Alien, 1 Haze OG, 2 100 Dollar OG to start the sog
Medium: FFOF 10% perlite
Nutes: Cal mag, superthrive, not sure about the bloom nutes yet.

Right now I just got the clones planted and under a single 90w led for 24 hours. The Sour Alien has already grow 2 sets of new leaves, the others are still rooting, but have at least grown around 1 set. Thats about twice as fast as I have ever seen in soil. Im sold on LED's for veg instead MH, just not a fan of LED flowering as of yet, so im trying cfl fill in.

left to right in the closet will be the (2xLED)(2x2700 CFL)(2x5000 CFL). PLants enter in the right under the 5000k cfls, move left to 2700 and 5000 cfls, move left again to LED and 2700 cfls. I am hoping the LED's will frost the nugs for me on later stage flowering plants.

Pictures coming today.

Very cool, I remember my first LED grow.

Those LEDs should bloom well too, keep em' a little closer than in veg.

Also, supplemental 6500k CFLs in bloom helps work wonders too! (There is plenty of red spectrum via the LED, so additional blue helps keep nodes tight during the bloom).

Where did you get your LED from?

Lumens are only relative to what the human eye can see. Par rating is for what plants can see/use.

LEDs have very low lumens, but very high par ratings.

woke up to some baby buds.. 7 days into 12/12.

I use the 90x1w LUX led 7:1:1 420 ufo. It works amazing for veg but needs a little help with flowering, so I use 105w cfls as fill in.

i generally use 3000 lumens/ft2 and 50 watts/ft2 to determine fill in light and just hang 1 ufo over each plant im flowering.

On paper looks good, lets see if the results match hehe.
