**ULTIMATE LED TEST** *GLH Spectra 290* VS *Blackstar 500* VS *Hydro Grow LED 336X*

I'ts been 3 days since the clones went into the EZ Cloner so I checked two of the clones and didn't see any real root growth. I added a little KLN to the water and I am sure that should help speed things up.
**Anyone had experiences with an EZ Cloner before?
I followed the directions of the rooting compound given with the system, which simply said dip and insert in clone machine.
I'm curious to hear if others used as a different method and what that might be.. or how long the process took for you.

I was using Advanced Nutrients, and then I tried Dyna-Gro and I was hooked. I like it because its a one part solution and its real affordable!
I use the whole line, Dyna-Gro Pro-Foliage, Bloom, Pro-Tekt, Pro-Mag, and now KLN on the clones.
The LED shootout wont necessarily have a winner per say.. as I am not here to act as a judge on the companies or viewers behalf. I just want to provide factual data as far as yield etc, however I will give a smoke report and inform on whether there is any noticeable difference in taste or quality.
Depending on how the grow and thread go, I may turn this into a perpetual grow, entering new clones into each tent cut from the same mother at the same time.
To begin the test, once the clones are rooted, there will be 2 in each tent.
I will be letting the plants grow naturally, no topping, fimming, etc. The most I will be doing is plucking dead/dying leaves as I normally would on my grow, because yellow spreads yellow.

Well I will be looking for the one with the most weight but I guess if the the smoke is better in another I will be rethinking what to get. Letting them grow naturally will really help in seeing how close the bud sites stay together. I cant wait to see em in there tents!

@Scrogreen - I'm with you! If price isn't an option, I would be looking for the light with the best balance of quality and yield.
I am thinking another 2 or 3 days and they should be rooted enough to put in the tents.
All the clones have little white spots on the stems below the sleeve, which is the starting of the roots.
I will try to post up some pics later.. its pretty interesting to be able to see the rooting process from start to finish, instead of waiting over a week before seeing root tips poking out of rockwool cubes (which I used prior to getting this easy clone machine).

I went into this a little bit on the last page, but depending on how the grow and thread go, I may turn this into a perpetual grow, entering new clones into each tent cut from the same mother at the same time. This also ensures a more fair experiment by having more than one trial.
To begin the test, once the clones are rooted, there will be 2 in each tent. I will be vegging for 2-3 weeks depending on growth rate, because I am aiming to keep all the lights @ 55"
Regarding the comments as far as light distance, I have 2 240s running. If I was only using one, I personally would ideally keep it about 24" off the canopy, since I have two, I can get away with more height. These things use 3w bulbs and I made the mistake of putting it too close (about 12" from canopy) to the clones last time and the leaves started bleaching.
