Yo,
Thanks for doing this thread. I've been curious about utilitizing LEDs. I'm finishing my CFL diesel ryder grow right now. But for my next grow I either want to use one of the LEDs you've posted or a 600 watt HPS. I was going to calculate this myself but you have any ideas approx how many hours it takes for LED to pay for itself vs the HPS in terms of eletricity consumption?

na their both flush trays. the 126w is 6-8" taller. and alot more busher, dont know if thats a good thing or bad? less light to get threw the foliage, but more light hiting the fan leaves. they both are buding like crazy and already strating to stake

Hi Irish,
I've been keeping a close eye on the journal as I have just started using LED lighting for the first time.
I have a 126w penetrator as my sole source of flowering light. I have it at 6 inches away from canopy currently. This Saturday is 3 weeks of 12/12 (I think you may be exactly as far along.)
I was hoping to get some nice close up shots of the buds forming in your next round of photos so I can compare to mine.
keep up the good work,
-thanx

yep tomarrow will be 3 weeks flowering. i will try to get some clse ups for you.
Harvest what grow are you doing Soil or Hydro. I am doing Hydro and the Canna Aqua line. WAS NOT IMPRESSED. I know the soil line is doing good. With our water being so clean you have to use the Max. Also make sure you use water when mixing nutes the A & B should not be mixed together it nocks each other out so they do not work. put them in water seperate and the do good. They also dropped my PH waaaaay down. After all of these issues was straight the plants are doing good. Bad thing is since I have to go max I am using alot of nutes and that stuff is pricey. GOOD LUCK
