Harley's Airpot Grow - White Widow - Liberty Haze & Lucy Under LED

drive by Varooom...good Sativaday Harley:)
 
Hey Harley and Mrs. Hope your weekend's going well. Loving all the defoliation discussion on your thread. Your girls look so healthy and lush they will do well no matter what you do to them. :thumb: :cheesygrinsmiley::peace:
 
just uploading my pics of the heavily pruned plants, should be on my journal in about 20min,
 
good skunkday Harley:)
 
Some more photos the first day of flower I won't be turning off the LED lights for pictures until the end of flowering :peace:

plants look great,
ive been interested in led's and was going to try and make a light rig out of them, im a car mechanic and i got boxes of led brake lights, the type they have in spoliers and in the top of the rear windows of cars, problem is their all red leds and not sure if their suitable for growing, if i could find out then id add them to the flower room as it would save me buying a new led rig to supliment lighting with,
these led's i got are very bright and i got plenty of them, just not sure if their ok to grow with,

what type of set up have you got, do you have a mixture of the blue and red led's in the same light rig,

DP I have a Solar Storm 400 it has 7 different light spectrums from 5 watt single diode chips plus UVB and you can switch between veg and flower cycles or have the UVB on or off it has performed awesome for veg as you can see from the tight node spacing and the health of the plants. I have ordered a second one due to the spread of the garden to out side the light footprint.
Even though they call it a 400 it only uses 332 watts in flower with a second light I should be able to cover about 6'X3' effectively
the lights are pricey but are guaranteed to last some 50,000 hours with very little loss in lumens. plus I haven't had to have expensive cooling to compensate for the heat as it only raises the room temp to 72 degrees so al in all I am very pleased with the light. As far as your LEDs' working for your grow not so much you really need 3 watt single diode LEDs' to get enough penetration to be of much good. If I can get 1 gram per watt I will have done well. If not then I'll try again with more focus on nutrients and consistency in the lighting schedule. Also the effect of defol on buds. Looking forward DP peace out:peace::high-five::circle-of-love:
 
thanks for the info, im not sure what leds these are or what wattthey are, im not even sure i can check, i just got plenty of them, boxes and boxes full, i can power them off a 12v adaptor, they seem pretty bright but without knowing the specs id have no clue if their worth using or not, plus their all red

dp,
Can`t help you with your auto lights, but it sounds good. Anyway I`m on my 4th grow with LED`s only. Sounds like we`re both lighting similar areas. Mine is 3 1/2' x 6 1/2' x 7' tall. Use Advanced Diamond Series DS-300 x 2. IMO they work great. My big girls yielded 4 - 6 oz`s each. Tried auto`s once and got less than an ounce from each (4). Will stick with the big girls. Have some heat issues due to a well insulated grow room. Good ventilation helps. Don`t know much, but will answer any questions I can.

Peace & Great Growin`

i play around with auto, trying to produce a good yielding auto, i got one growing at the minute that should give me easily 2 to 3oz dry, i usually get less than an oz per auto but this is doing ok.

at the minute im growing my own fem seeds, i produced my own fem seeds and playing around with the new plants at the minute, the other thing im playing with is a purple strain, trying to get a true purple that grows purple buds under normal temps, i got purps giving the plants cold shock at the end of flower but this produced harsh tasting buds,
at the minute i just got pollen from ken estes gdp male and put this on a purple cheese auto, this should give me some regular seeds that are none auto and im hoping the purple gene from the gdp and the puple gene from the purple cheese might just help me try and produce a more purple strain, i use 400watt dual spectrum hps, i was just asking about the led's as i have boxes of red brake lights from cars, the long ones that sit in the back window, so got plenty of these, very bright but all red, if it was worth setting them up then i could cover all the walls and rest of the grow room with these bright red leds, but if it would not benefit the plants then its pretty pointless,

dp,
Suggestion, if you don`t mind. I was thinking of the "Growers Forum" under "Grow Lighting". There`s some very knowledgeable LED people on there. Might help.

Peace & Great Growin`

thanks for the suggestion, my problem is not knowing what type of led they are, tried googling it, i got a good idea of what leds are good for growing but i been growing a few years and not tried leds so was wondering if i could use them as supliment lighting,

is no biggy their just sitting in boxes and id only end up throwing them out, so thought before i give them the scrap man id see if i could use them round my grow room to supliment the plants in flower,
ill have a flick and see if anyone has commented on leds or what types then i can ask and see if its worth giving a try, i was just thinking that they use red leds or a high ratio of red during flower and as i could pretty much line all the walls and floor with these then thought id ask before they go in the bin,

Even if they didn't work at least the flower room would look cool. :cheesygrinsmiley:
