About 9-10 days or so, I don't remember exactly, but just over a week. They didn't start really taking off till the last 2 weeks.

Here is Mazar-i-Sharif 35 days into flowering under LEDs and CFLs. I'm hoping they dense up a bit more, but after 35 days I'm pretty happy so far.

Here are the Mazar-i-Sharifs at 35 days, the Purple Kush and Bubble Gum are on day 23 (pics of them will come later, having camera issues).

...Continued So what happens when CFLs and LEDs are used together? The spread of light from the CFLs make the plant bush more, creating more surface area to absorb light. Then, the intensity and spectrum specific light from the LED promotes extremely healthy and fairly rapid growth. Can...

So, I've been really thinking about this whole LED thing lately. Why are so many people having such different results? Why do the CFL + LED grows do better than the 100% LED grows? My first thought was that the CFLs must be doing all the work, since I had seen so many bad grows that used only...

Thanks for the link! I wish he was a little more organized, doesn't really list his total watts or yield. But, there are some nice looking buds there. I keep reading scare stories about LEDs, but my plants are looking great and still have over a month left, so I can't make my estimates on how...

Here is a side cola of the Mazar-i Sharif close up. It's hard to get a shot to focus with my camera, so I took this from far away and cropped it. The resin is beginning to form on the leaves close to the top of the cola, hopefully these nugs will start densing up a little.

How much more would you say the additional white light helped compared to what you saw from "pure" led?

I was thinking of going aeroponics or ebb and flow for my next grow. I've always wanted to try HPS with LED too. If I can get better ventilation I might try something similar.

For those interested in LED technology, here are some older videos/forums that I found about previous and current grows. Home Made Panel LED testing http://www.ledgrow.eu/ 2009 LED Grow http://forum.grasscity.com/advanced-growing-techniques/379587-led-grow-2009-a.html TI-Smartlamp 1000 vs...

I actually used 2 different companies. This is part of the reason it took so long to get them, I didn't buy the first LED i saw. Here are the two companies I used. The price has actually gone up slightly since I bought mine. http://www.hydroponicshut.com/...

I've looked into a lot of these options. I am very curious about the UVB, infra-red, and other spectrum of blue. One product that I've heard has incorporated all of those is the...

Here are the pics. There are 4 plants, 2xMazari Sharif, 1 bubble gum, and 1 purple kush. All of them were vegged from clones outdoors until I got my setup. It took a little longer than expected, so they got a little big. The Mazari started flowering a week early outdoors, so they are a little...

Here's the short version fisrt, then if you want to know why I'm using LEDs and CFLs, you can read below. Short version - Set-up 4x90w LED UFOs (360 watts total) - 2x dual spectrum 8:1 660 red and 470 blue, the other 2 are tri-spectrum 7:1:1 640 red 470 blue and cool white 6000k. Each has...

My very first grow was under 2 x 42 watt (150w incandescent equivalent) warm white 2700k cfl's. I had 3 plants, vegged them till they were about 14" tall then started flowering. I got about 14g of dry bud from that tiny grow. No nutrients, just water and some worm castings. Usually I would say...

I need a hand locating some 200w-250w self-ballast purple (2400k/6400k approx) CFLs. They are easy to find in Europe, with the nlite PURple lights, but I need help finding an equivalent here in the states. Can anyone help?
