Hey 420mag!
This mini-grow is mainly to 'preview' what the buds of a bigger grow (using the same genetics) will look like at harvest. Its my first time with LEDs after 18 months of hps. Reason for switch is purely in search for higher quality bud!
I recently purchased 3* 400w Mars 2 growlights from TOPLED and 1* 700w Mars 2.
I had 3 og #18 mother plants that had just been used for bout 15 cuttings each after having vegged (in a corner under weak light) for about two months. I trimmed off some of the lowest sites and put them into flower. After about 25-30 days of flower under a 400w hps (in the corner of the tent, so light wasn't too strong) I put them in a .36m2 tent under a 400w Mars 2 flower light. They took maybe 2-4 days before starting to put on growth again, I initially had some minor problems with overwatering as the soil stayed wet under LED so instead of watering every 2 days its more like 10 days currently!
It has been 15 days since i put them under the LEDs and the buds have started to put on weight and produce thc. All of the mommas had been topped a couple of days before the start of flowering to keep them from stretching (og #18 streched alot the first time i did her in nft) so all plants are pretty short with only a small canopy of buds, seems like they will give 10-15g each (I could fit about 6-9 of these in the .36m2 so 27 in a m2, if your into calculating yield).
Another 15-25 days and they should be done. As this grow is purely to checkout what quality the LEDs produce ill be adding microscope pictures of thc and a smell & smoke review at the end.

the closet has just been put on 12/12 which is why i put the mommas in there right away. (I need the tent they were initially in for new mommas 
paradise seeds Delahaze and Rare Dankness Scotts OG & tangerine kush). Heres some pics:
