Your layout is exactly what I had before I second guessed myself. I went with the above panel as it was very cheap and the experimental side will be fun. Thanks for the reply, I will be starting a journal soon as I have 10 seedlings currently a couple days old.YOUR PLAN IS GOOD I LIKE IT. BUT THAT'S TOO MANY WHITES, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT HEAVY FLOWERING EMPHASIS. IT WON'T HURT, BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS:
8 X 660
4 X 630
1 X 10000
1 X 5500
1 X 2700
(or go for something in between?) ..or just follow your instict and experiment you'll have first hand experience
good luck!
Hello,Looks like shit got real..........sunpulse is entering the led game http://sunpulselamps.com/New_for_2012.html
Edit: sorry if already posted............be safe and happy growing..
would love to see these in actionHello,
The systems are newly introduced, and the first runs for our distributors are happening now. We will provide the new spec sheets, etc., in time for the product launch. The systems are going to be around $2000 retail, and will come down in price over time, like GPS systems that were expensive to start and got a lot cheaper eventually. The pictured system on the site is 420 watts total. Each arm is 80 watts and the unit has a 100w HID center light.
If you have any questions on the technology, you're certainly welcome to call.
Regards,
Dan

I use LED's and I prefer to grow in soil too.
If you go back a page and look at my recent bud pics, that crop is being grown with Fox Farms Happy Frog in Air Pots.
I've used Fox Farm's Oceans Forest in the past, but it has too much water retention and Nitrogen for an indoor medium under LED's.
Happy Frog, in conjunction with the Air Pots, lets the soil dry out on a near daily basis which is beneficial for your plants.
An HPS creates enough heat to help evaporation take place, LED's do not, so we need to find alternate methods to help it along.
That's where the Air Pots come in, if you're not sure what I'm talking about, follow the link:
http://www.growers-inc.com/air-pots.html
The holes in the side of the container let the soil breath, encourages evaporation, and prunes the root, all in one.
Pruning the roots is also beneficial, as a root bound plant is an unhappy plant.
I hope that helps, good luck.
I usually give my seeds up to two weeks to sprout up before declaring them goners. It shouldn't take that long, but I've had a few pop up later than others so if its an expensive seed I will give it enough time to make sure.Thanks so much for the info I got the FF ocean forest and added more perlite also I presoaked my seeds till they cracked then put them in the soil a week ago but they have not broke ground yet how long should this take and should I just start new seeds

were both these pictures taken at the same distance from the wall and at the same height? same extension on tape measure? The chrome looks brighter than the solarflare...
