Skunnymonster's Multi-Strain Perpetual LED Grow

I am not able to tell by your photographs but it appears you may have removed the small branches above the fan leaves when you Topped your plant. Can you please take some clear photographs of the area where you Topped your plant?

Not a problem John, I've taken a picture of the end of one branch for you. The topping I've done is the new growth at the tip of the branch

I am not able to see the small branches that should be left on the plant after a FIM is done. I am only able to see 2 fan leaves at the end of the stem.
 
I'm the member on another site based in the UK and some of us wanted to put an LED advice section, a discussion thread was started in which I pointed out the backward thinking staff don't believe you can grow good bud with LED and even though our intentions were good, they wouldn't amount to anything. Here's part of the response.



as posted many many time already, we have had an LED section here longer than most, we have a diary section where members can post their entire grows regardless of what kit they are using, funny how most of the led ones are never finished but I 'spose thats our fault too ?

And I'll point out again that none of the major grow shops will touch LED, the wholesalers and distributors won't touch them, if there was any truth in half of the claims being made about LED at the moment then these people would be all over them because it's their business to and they don't miss many tricks when it comes to making money, if they are giving LED the big swerve then there has to be a good reason.

Even at the recent Growshow, an expo showcasing the latest and most cutting edge grow technology there was no LED companies being represented, I wonder why that was

It seems the only places that you'll find positive info about LED's is either on the sellers own site or on the sites they financially sponsor, or from the spam monkeys and product placement guys that these companies employ


Hahaha, what chance do you have with that mentality on the team? Later in the post he accused the growers of good bud of swiching in LED lights for photo's when they are actually grown under HPS.

I don't like that site anymore :(
 
I think I read that too. The part about people growing under hps and switching to led for picture purposes. They'll say anything to bring led down and keep growing with their archaic equipment. Not a knock against hps by any means, just that that technology hasn't changed in decades.

If you would like to see real results from LED light panels then have a look at the Grow Journals in my signature. I do not use trickery to enhance my growing results.
 
Flux looks great buddy!
As for that idiot from the other site and his nonsensical ramblings lol. What absolute crap! Oh and when I finally get to reveal my LED news soon, people like him will be eating their words and choking on them. As HPS is about to get its final coffin nail driven home! :)
 
I called them cavemen & told them to step into the 21st century where LED growth is possible but they think HPS is sunlight in a tube. Any points I made were laughed at as pure folly. Now don't get me wrong, I've had some amazing results with my HPS but the evidence I've seen with LED grows by non-sponsored growers makes the switch a no brainer.
I'll leave them to it, I can't be arsed trying to convert the unconvertible

The flux won't have as many heads as I thought, I had a look earlier & I think I'm going to be fine with it, I didn't go as daft as I thought :)

I put a picture of your flux up & they say you did it under HPS ffs, absolute morons, and these guys run the site!! I'm running a journal on there at the moment & when I've got an amazing yield I'll stuff it down their throat & close my account.
 
For those who still think that LED can't grow anything and are too close minded to check the facts I feel sorry as much as I feel sorry for people who still think cannabis kills and is addicting and only dealers with cartels are pushing for legalisation.
 
The viability of LED light panels has greatly changed in only a few years. When I first looked at LED lighting I was shown a 200x 1 watt LED light panel for $1200, when I researched 1 watt LED lights I found very disappointing results. Now that 3 watt, 5 watt and 10 watt LED light panels are more common and some manufacturers have done research into what spectrum is best for cannabis real results are possible. I would question any further advice from those sources that refuse to take the input from real results people are having with LED light panels.
 
Skunny :) I hate to say this but Ive just switched to LED and my big old first flux was indeed done using my old 400hps! Although soon we shall have some all LED flux monsters done and then you can gladly shove my plants down their throats lol.

I looked at LED's myself a few years ago & dismissed them as a gimmick, it wasn't until a few months ago I looked into them again. The results genuine everyday growers are getting nowadays are proof they work. The right light with the right person eclipse what is achievable under HPS lighting. I personally cannot understand the closed mind mentality so I'll leave them to their eternal heat issues & big energy bills:)
 
Cheers buddy, you should have seen my cobbled together little ghetto grow space! Just an alcove in my kitchen, with an old painting canvas for a door. I had zero control over enviromentals etc. Its what I was all about when I started on here, getting big yields without any money or space and equipment.
Now look at me :) playing like a big boy! :)
 
lol, Im still dumbstruck and baffled at how these developments are going to change things. It's a mind melting step forward for sure! :)
