Vega, looking good man. LED is where small growers should be heading, eventually. Price point is the primary objection and a lot misinformation. That can be expected with new technology and the Chinese rip-off units.

Watch your height from the canopy. LEDs are intense and misleading because they don't produce the heat we see from cfl and HID. My manufacturer recommends 18" for proper umol and foot print. I never went below 16" or I risked bleaching out the leaves and flowers.


Think you will be real happy with the equipment upgrade. I'm sub up to see what you can do with it. Good luck.

This grow rite here is a side by side comparison of Critical Kush vs. Aurora Indica...popped on same day same soil under same light 12/12 from seed....should b interesting to see who yields more...itll be hard to beat the kush on quality ive not grown the aurora but I dont see it happenin.

Theyre eatin it up...I can see and tell how much more powerful it is than the cfls n not only that just how much easier it makes things.
I really think even if I had a room to work w id go w these..it puts off like zero heat draws like 92watts of power n the no bulb replacement is very attractive as well....n man that lites cool lookin...ha...I dont mind havin the closet door open now its not like havin this bright blinding lite comin ouuta there...the way it directs it lite and the spectrum make it not bad at all....

Heres the flowering plant...im not sure what to make of her really...ive nvr grown a sativa so I have no idea what to expect for a finish date n to b honest I have no idea how long shes been goin...seems like ages already hell I started her long before the last one finished...this pheno is very finicky and since she started flowering shell go thru spells of lookin happy and sad..she vegged like a champ tho..stretched like crazy but seems to b fillin in nice...resin production is shitty imo...its nice on the buds themselves but no resin on the trim at all...I mean zero...smells good tho..and im bettin she yeilds well shes got some long ass buds on her...soon as she finishes the cfls are comin down..ima put a couple on the edges of the led footprint when the plants start flowering but will have another led asap to cover whole closet w no cfls at all..once I get it like that im thinkin on a 12/12 from seed cycle I can run 4-6 plants at a time....
