Taking place in a 3'x5'3"x20" mylar lined tent with minor air circulation will be my 2nd overall grow. The tent never gets higher than ~83 degrees, though remains humid (I live in a very rainy town in Hawaii). This modular LED has 60 diodes running at ~2w and their wavelengths are as follows:
7 x 660nm
3 x 630nm
3 x 10000k
1 x 5500k
1 x 2700k
These specifications are per module and the unit contains 4 modules. All diodes have a 90 degree lens. I designed it this way in an attempt to replace blue diodes with white ones and thus I'd hope you'll stick around to find out also.
My 5 seedlings are in my own starter mix in solo cups which I hope to transplant into 3gal Smart Pots (as soon as I get my hands on some) containing CoCo. I will be using House and Gardens CoCo A&B along with some molasses to supplement my nutrients and my light is currently on half strength on a 16/8 schedule. They have been under 12/12 since seed but have not shown any sex yet (its been about 2 weeks?).
The LED switch and lighting schedule change-up will indeed stress them but I have already seen good signs. 20 minutes after turning the LED on in the middle of their 12/12 schedule (as I switched out my 2700k CFLs for my LED), two plants responded to the light within 20 minutes and pointed themselves toward it. Within 45 minutes all 5 had responded to the LED and pointed upwards toward the light. With my CFLs, my plants took anywhere from 45 minutes-2 hours to respond to light, or what some would call the plants "breathing".
I will get a few pictures of the little ones shortly but for now:
