Just installed UFO TriBand LED ($240 on E-Bay) in closet over 3 White Widows in gallon soil pots and 4 Diesel cuttings in RaftRooter hydroponic tub. Any ideas how high the light should be (at 12" now) and how many hours of light (20 hours now). Ist time inside to start. Was buying 2 ft tall clones before this and totally growing outside for 7 weeks and getting 3-4 ozs per plant. Formula was 1 oz of Elenors VF-11 liquid fert, 1 cap of Superthrive and 1 cap of hydrogen peroxde...all per gallon.
 
SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING. TIP IF YOU REDUCE YOUR HOURS OF LIGHT. THEN WHEN YOU GO INTO THE BUDDING CYLE, BUDDING WILL START QUICKER AT 16/8 INSTEAD OF 20/4.
THE HEIGHT OF LED SHOULD BE AROUND 12" OR LESS WHILE VEGING AND 12 TO 14 WHILE BLOOMING. ( OR SO I HAVE READ).
ALSO SUPPLEMENT YOUR TRI BAND LED WITH A COUPLE OF CFLs TO INCREASE YOUR SPECTRUM OF LIGHT. REMEMBER ON THE UFO YOU MAY BE ADDING MORE COLOR BUT YOU ARE ALSO LOSING 10 1 WATT LEDs ( 10 WATT OF LED EQUAL 40 WATT MH OR HPS) THUS 10 SPECTRUMS OF THE RED LIGHT WAVES.
. . .
. MY NEW EXPERIMENT IS AS FOLLOWS:
. I JUST BOUGHT 2 300 WATT LEDS 80/10 PERCENT RATIO.
WILL BE IN A 4 FT BY 8 FT BY 7 FT TALL GROW ROOM. GOING TO SUPPLEMENT WITH 4 TO 5 45 WATT CFLS VERTICALLY. WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING JUST A FAN FOR CIRCULATION. THIS IS THE SUMMER TRY OUT. I USUALLY HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH HEAT IN THE SUMMERS . BURNED MANY A PLANT . BUT I HOPE THIS SYSTEM SET WILL ELIMINATE THE BURN ISSUES FOR ME. AND OF COURSE I HOPE MY PRODUCTION WITH THIS MUCH LED POWER WILL GIVE AT LEAST HALF OF WHAT THEY PROMISE IN ALL THE SALES PROPRAGANDA I HAVE READ.
SO AS WE BOTH BEGIN OUR NEW LED VENTURE I HOPE YOU CAN KEEP US POSTED AS WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND HOW. SO WE CAN COMPARE NOTES AND ACHIEVE THE ULTIMATE SUCCESS IN LED GROWING.
