Advanced LED Demo Grow by Doc Bud

We're in the harvest window for everything now. They'll start coming down one a day now. The buds are the best yet....and the Grape Ape that's already been harvested has the best nose on it to date as well.

These lights really did the job, especially LATE into bloom.

Yeah....I know. I was worried when I started this grow, because of the very small size of the plants. But they came on STRONG. They are still growing. I could let them go longer.

But they're ready!
 
Wow some quality nug there fellow doc , on a hid man myself but with quality like that you have me thinking of perhaps adding one of these LEDs into one of my veg tents , I have a veg tent running a 600 mh and a 600 hps do you think adding a led would be of any benefit also could add one to the flower area I'm always looking to experiment I added UV reptile lights and it increased quality, trichromes and THC % bumped up to 22 from 20%

I'm an HID guy too....or at least I thought I was.

I'll stick with these "new" LED's or go with a double ended HPS. No more traditional 1000 watt HPS for me. I've seen too much.
 
Hi Doc all good information never heard of washing bud before makes sense though question on the Colombian red is that the same as the red bud Colombian of days gone by?Back in the 70'S ?

This is Punta Roja. Depending on what you had back then, you either had this, or a lowland strain that sometimes was called "red bud." This stuff is very familiar to me and if you're downwind of someone lighting a joint it smells just like 1976 to me.

Only this is MUCH more potent, due to cultivation techniques.
 
Here's the final product from these super cool lights:

Lots of sticky, greasy resin. Some sweet sap on a handful of buds. Smells are divine. This is the best harvest I've had, quality-wise, with these particular strains. I replaced some of the harvested plants with Grape Stomper and Lemon Paki, so more cool stuff is coming up.

Looking good doc, what I'm very interested in knowing is , is yield with these particular leds as high as hps , its obvious the quality is there

I'll know the answer to that pretty soon. I got 7.2 oz between the two Grape Ape I harvested. That's down a bit from the 1000watt HPS. The Colombian looks as if it might even come in heavier.
 
Nice! And elec bills would be down by a country mile as well, so if u factor that into yield as well eg how much the meds would cost , how much $ worth you grew using the LEDs + how much you saved on electricity and compare that to a HID grow then you get a real good idea of which light actually makes or saves you the most money and there's no lack in quality with those LEDs either and I suspect they run cooler too? , I may need to get myself a plethora of panels and call it a Christmas present for myself hahaha
 
Harvested today. These light works pretty good.
