Looking real good man. Real good. Do those LEDs mess with your eyes/vision? Like after looking in the cab do things get a green tint?

No they don't mess with the vision at all but my camera really does not like'm... I think they put off some interference. But what you described no - then again I also have green-blue color vision issues -- can see them but have trouble distinguishing between them mixed together or some strangeness the DMV told me about... I see green and blue just fine but apparently not always the same shades as others as proven by the 'pH' adjustment by color chart fiasco when the color I picked on the scale was dramatically different than what other people said ;) Then again I think I see problems in the plant leaves before they show up in pics, so....

lookin good sensemila keep it up, just for reference leds are not very good for your eyes sunglasses in the tent are a good idea but nobodies perfect ive been growing with them for a while and i think my eyes are starting to get fucked up from them ....might just be sitting to close to my comp though hahaha.

Interesting I've never heard that. Why wouldn't they be good for your eyes? There's a UV LED or two but those do not put off any substantial amount nor is it likely you'd get much of any unless underneath the lights. I'm usually only in and out of the grow room. There's not much to hang in there for -- I take my plants out to the kitchen when I'm working on them and other than that I'll pop into the room 4 or 5 times a day for 2 or 3 minutes to look at them or pull one or two out for watering/swapping out for 12/12.

gotta agree with leds fucking with your eyes............i would see this green tint for minutes after leaving the grow room.......sunglasses are a good idea(for hid also)..

Well the irony is I work for a company that sells sunglasses and can get basically any at cost :) I don't really like sunglasses though they make me tired. Anyway the lights are way less intense than an HID light but people don't wear sunglasses for those...?

I need to wear sunglasses with my 200+ Watts of pl-l light.

Lost my pair of oakleys the other day. Had a pair of Oakley Juliet's that needed new lenses but they disappeared on me :( lenses Ct $90 and I'd got the glasses free

Ugh... woke up hot... a/c's out (AGAIN -- can you believe the nerve of this place that wants $75 more per month and my a/c has literally been out at least a half a dozen times in the last year)... which means can't use my usual guest bathroom darkroom for my babies today (where the central a/c unit is inside)... ugh! Gotta move'm into the closet and turn the lights off on the veggers :( Also do some last minute stealthin'.... good thing my replacement ozone generator came in yesterday!

That sucks, having ac problems here too. At least it's running, it's just leaking water all over the floor. I've got to get an led or two asap. Check my thread in a few

sorry to hear that sensi , thats why i love the good old northwest (upper) temps never really become to much of an issue except in summer and not any more with led's :D

haha yeah you northern folks have it lucky in that regard... in the south, you MUST have a/c for an indoor grow or you are pretty much doomed to failure due to heat. Garage grows? fuggetaboutit. I'm going to enjoy that when I make the move northwest :) time to get me to a legal state. I went ahead and turned lights back on they only missed a couple hours of light unfortunately it's my budded plants that missed the light I wouldn't have cared much if it were the others :)

It won't mess'em up I'm not worried about that just bummed about the loss of productive bud forming time under the lights :) Getting ready to take'm out will take a couple of quick shots. They continue to steadily grow thicker buds daily that you can easily see without looking too close. Not saying anything crazy, just that I can tell they are growing daily and not standing still :) Hoping they really chunk up over the next week. They will get fed in the morning as they are just about ready to be watered. I think supersoil may definitely be a smart idea for LEDs to help make sure they get all the micronutrients they need that they may not have under HID. I haven't had any of the ca-mg deficiencies some others have had yet so far they are growing just like under HID as far as I can tell. I think they are doing pretty damn good for only having fully formed flowers for not just about a week now. I would love to have just a super duper yield like a 600w+ HID just to throw at the LED deniers :) Not to mention I would love to have a shit ton of weed to smoke :)
