firs time grow using leds

this is my first grow. I'm growing 5 skywalker og clones they have been in one month of veg. im curious how much longer until I can start them on a 12/12 cycle of flowering.

my set up is 2 flourescent 6700k t8 tubes with 2 purple hp150 leds and 2 magenta leds one plant under each light pretty much. in a 5x7 grolab tent.

let me know what you think of my set up. and any opinions or tips are greatly appreciated.

looks fine mate, i veg for about 4 weeks under the led and then into flower, the only thing with the led is you need to take the plant out of the tent now and again because it is hard to spot any problems in there light. flower now and good luck with your yield. how are your temps are they ok, thats the only real problem i have sometimes as they run pretty cool.
i must say the plants love the leds in veg. i use the hps for flowering though myself because temps where we are are bad.

the temperature... ugh around the 70's. The tent gets a bit humid actually and I think thats why gnats and a little mildew started developing, or atleast I just noticed them right now when I brought the plants outside to look at.

Any safe and good 3 in ones available?

its very hard to see certain things under the leds, it hides a lot, what are your temps like at night cos thats where most trouble starts, as long as you keep the drop in temp to a minimum you should be ok, our weather in ireland is not too bad at minute but a few lads are using the heating tubes. if you dont know what they are ill get you a link, only about 20w and keep the temps up a bit, also if its pretty cold and your venting in cold air, put your input fan on a timer. do you mean three in ones for the nats, then your best bet is something with spinosad, i tried neem oil but 2 of my plants reacted badly to it. maybe they were not old enough.
or did you mean nutes? i use bio grow, bio bloom and bio heaven but a lot of fellas are saying the canna stuff is very good.
