Ive had it take 2.5 weeks with my 600w hps...it just depends on the strain and if the plant was really ready for flowering. :peace::blsmoke:

TC... I was looking today at buying some of the 4 panel packs of LED squares. I have read the thread, while very informative, doesnt really seem to put the LED's into a good light(great pun). Do you think that you would spend the money on Led's again?

lol, doesn't looks like wont need to be buying them again, lol. i already got them, hehe.
no, as far as this grows gone up to this point, i dont think THESE LED's are worth the money. I will be using them for supplemental lighting on my next grow. although my plants look very healthy and green, they are a little short. i still think you need a top light with much more output for good growing, faster anyway. good news is they're still continuing to improve LED's so maybe in a few more years, they will be an affordable and viable alternative to HID's

LED Marijuana Grow

So is this one a UFO LED?

The growth that this one showed appeared to give greater results than what this journal has shown. I'm curious, would it be worth it to veg with these kinds of lights and then flower with HPS and supplemental lighting? Everyone says they arn't worth shit for buds, but what about for just veging? Your journal appears to give us evidence against the use of LEDs in general (as your plants are slow growing), but has anyone seen different?

I have just started reading your post thunderchunkie and now I am hooked on updates. Its like watching my TV series... waiting for another... lol.
I was on how the product will turn out as in potency. The question is "is it as good"

Thanks for going through the trouble for the rest of us.

Nice grow I will read the whole thread when I get a chance. I am over on Grass City with a link to my LED thread I started a couple years ago. I think the link is in my signature. Best wishes on this grow.
