A New Top LED Panel for Testing

[jon705]

I just recieved the light, theres some pics and first impressions in my current journal in my sig, as soon as this rounds done I ll be starting a new journal for this light and some soil I ll be testing for Scientific soils

Buck, you have White LED's in your spectrum? Looks like a healthy shade of Green.

Good looking plants, must be from good stock lol and grower talent, funny I really see the parents in the Durple pream I see the blue dream in the stems and node spacing but the leaves are more GDP but not quite as wide, the Wwbbrpk showing it's dad alot right now (rpk) my durples look exactly the same just a little bigger/older

Looking good Buck! I had mentioned that I am looking at the 144x3w panel to put in a 3'x2'x5' tent. A lot of you seem to agree that 1 plant is all I am going to get in that space. But after reading some threads a lot of peoples plants are getting pretty large like 4-5 feet tall and near 4 feet wide. So should I be rethinking this some? Maybe the same panel Buck is using 192x3w in a 3'x3' tent? I am nervous now that a 2' wide tent wont give a plant enough room to do its thing. Thoughts?

If you set on going with led's I think you should go with a taller tent if you can bro, 5 feet isnt much when you factor in the 18 inches or so you will need between the plant and the light, it can still be done in 5 feet but you will have to really keep her low until you flip, bassically train her with some topping and lst just above the pot until 3/4 of the space is filled and then flip and let her stretch

I am quite set on LEDs. So do you think a 3'x3'x6'8" tent is a better option?

 

[jon705]

definetly! that gives you a good 5 feet or more of vertical height bro, 1 plant topped maybe twice at the most will do great in there

Thanks Jon, once I get my post count up some I will be PMing you for some tips on proper topping times (very newb here eager to learn). I know a lot of people are still skeptical about LEDs but we can't deny that they are the tech of the future, so I would like to learn how to work with them. I know you are using a 5w panel for some testing right now. Are you familiar with LEDs prior to your current experiment?

 

[jon705]

yep I have 4 600w area 51 panels and 2 1000w hps in my flower room now< I just did an update heres the link to my journal

Thanks Jon... not really doing much yet!

That is a Nikon Speedlight SB-600

Yes good healthy stock, these are magic beans. Not sure how I am going to roll with these. I can see dd's are going to get big quick if I let them. I am loving the kushy little wwbbrpk shrubs I can't WAIT.

Go there it is awesome

Hey folks thanks for stopping in and participating!!!

The girls are looking happy there Buck Are you as happy so far with TopLED as I am?

I don't know... how happy are you?

Smart@$$ lol... buy yeah, very much so far on my side

 

[Mars Hydro]

nice weekend everyone. rainy, every weekend is heavy rainy,

 

[BigIrishDoode]

Yeah the rpk only stretches 10-15% after flip so it will help the ww xbb to stay short, the GDP in Durple Winchell the lanky Bd side but both are heavy yeilders in fact all the genetics involved in both of those Crosses are big yeilders except white widow and is super frosty potent,! IM so pumped to see our results with these strains/Crosses (they aren't actually "strains"yet) gotta do the whole stabilizing thing but if they turn out to be worth it I will put in the work! Like I did with trailor trash #1 that took 5yrs ! But I could not do 99 plant grows so selecting was much slower & I pooped in my oatmeal on a couple runs and killed em accidentally ,so with my advancements in equip and tech I think I can do it in 18months-2yrs let's hope Durple & Wwbbrpk are keepers,,then again I can always just fast track em and do a truckload of feminized beans that will be like clones of mommy, but you breed those fem beans and you'll get all sorts of phenos so that sucks, you want your work to breed true, unless you just wanna sell beans for 20 a pop and force ppl to come back to you for more, not my style, IM about creating the uber genetics and making it accessible to EVERYBODY! My theory is sick&broken ppl (like me) can't afford that kind of thing over & over, so someday in the future when I have a collection IM gonna find a way to get it out there without stepping on toes, first thing is I gotta figure out if I have the skills & talent to be a real breeder. wooo that sour diesel gets me chatting lol

Buck, not the camera flash, the LED's you're growing with. You grew those plants with White in the spectrum, correct? The shade of Green looks too light and "powder-coated" to be grown under strictly Red and Blue. R:B plants looks deep Green (almost like over nitrification without the tip curl) and have a "waxy" quality to the leaves. You plants don't resemble this stereotype, so I was just wondering if my hunch was correct.
