Led Grow lights

WOW SON, if i ever thought Leds would work, i think your set up will.
question though, i only say one red led. when you flower, are you going to screw in the right Ratio of red leds?

The red light in the front corner was an experiment to see how the plant did under just red light. Not Good. Were finding that 50/50 is working the best. On the veg we found that the plants did not grow as tall as the ones we had in our green house and they took about 4 days longer but produced as much end product. The plants were smaller the the nodes where tight and produced some very nice buds. ( finished in green house) were vegging under blue lights now(no stretching) and finishing in our green house. 2 1/2 week veg 35-49 days 10-28 per plants. depending on season.

Of course the trees laugh.

Can I ask you why you have your lights so far from your plants? I would think that one of the advantages of using led's is that you could basically have them touching the plant since you dont have to worry about heat?? Why don't you get them only a few inches away?

We normaly have the lights within 6 inches of the tops. No heat problems. We just started this batch and we wanted to bring the light down a little everyday (for a couple of days) to get them a custom to the new lights. Two much to fast I've heard can cause the leaves to get weird for a few days. I've seen a little of that happening, no permenant damage just looks weird.
