1 month old how do they look

this is the first time with hydro allways been soil and first time with led lights your opoin

I'm interested. How are they working for you? are the plants stretching? How is the heat by the lights? 4 weeks old from clones? How much did the light cost you? what is the watts ?

Shouldn't the lights be closer? I don't have any experience with LEDs, but I thought one of the biggest advantages was very little heat.... which would seem to allow close lights (like CFLs). Again, I could be totally 100% wrong.

I am also very interested in this.

100 bucks four bulbs from seed no there not streching they dont get hot at all you can put them up to 5in away just order 4 panel 225 lights to a panel 900 lights 12 watts per bulbs 3500 lum per bulb

move the lights way closer.

The lights cost you 100.00? where did you get them?

Do you have led's?

ya you can but they grow real fast so i put them higer if you look at the pic where the stick is that was 1 week ago

No, it's just the farther away the are the less you get from them. Their power drops off significantly after just a couple feet, which paired with they put out little to no heat you would want them almost on the plant.

ebay store led grow lights

im getting them use to it getting 4 panels for font and back

there only 6 inches away

they have been in the same spot sense seeds

Need more pics and info!!!

what else do you want to now they keep on growing this is my first grow there 32 days old bag seed

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Why do GlowPanels™ work?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Basic biology has taught us that a growing plant needs specific bands of red and blue light to stimulate chlorophyl production. It is also well known that blue light promotes vegetative growth and red light promotes fruiting & flowering. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Until recently, the only options for growers have been inefficient, energy hogging HID systems using High Pressure Sodium & Metal Halide lamps requiring ballasts and additional cooling. The problem is, these systems consume large amounts of power yet direct very little of their consumed energy towards plant growth. Most of the light these systems produce falls outside the red and blue spectrum in the form of ultra violet, infrared or other visible light not used for the production of chlorophyll. This is incredibly inefficient and results in a WHOPPING 85-90% energy loss. That’s right, only 10-15% of the energy used in the average HID system is actually used to grow plants! Understanding the history of these lamps, one can understand why. They were originally designed to provide overhead lighting in warehouses and street lamps. They were not intended to grow plants and they certainly weren't designed to be energy efficient. Relative to other lighting systems, there has been little to advance bulb technology for HPS or Metal Halide lamps during the past 40 years. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]GlowPanels™ are 95% energy efficient and shower your plants with only the blue and red light plants love. GlowPanels were designed with one purpose in mind; to grow plants, not light a warehouse.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Why LEDs?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]LEDs produce light more efficiently, can burn brighter longer, produce virtually no heat and the wavelength (color) of light produced can be controlled to the nanometer. This is why LEDs are great for growing plants; they are extremely energy efficient and can produce the exact wavelengths of blue & red light that plants love. [/FONT]



[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Who can use a GlowPanel?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]GlowPanels can be used by home hobbyists, urban gardeners, nurseries, schools, researchers, florists, well basically anyone who wants to grow plants. Even NASA uses LED grow light technology to grow plants in space. [/FONT]





[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Can I use GlowPanels with my existing grow lights? [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Yes, GlowPanels make a good supplemental lighting choice. GlowPanels complement sodium and halide bulbs extremely well by raising the deficient levels of red & blue light. GlowPanels™ are lightweight and are well suited for helping any dark areas in your garden spring to life. [/FONT]

FYI- A grower told me he loved the led's but after a couple of tries he had to add heat from week 3 to the end of flowering.

thats why i have two 100 watt flo it gets down two 73 deg at night and 80 deg in the day i have them on 18 /6 they turn off at 700am turn back on at 1pm so there no temp problem in my closet

- Yeah, something called footcandles. Its really complicated, all you need to know tho is that the strength of the light decreases EXPONENTIALLY as you move it further away so Khan is right. Also, they look like they are a little stretchy, the internode length looks to be like 3-4 inches, correct me if i'm wrong. Plants so young, in my humble, opinion should have about half that length. perhaps you don't have enough blue in the spectrum? I didn't look that closely at the LEDs, maybe they don't have enough blue spectrum. they obviously have some though, because aside from that they look really healthy. It could also just be a variety with a longer internode, some kind of long flowering sativa (in which case you might have hight problems as plants like that can triple thier size once flowering has begun).
- I want to add LEDs to my setup which already consists of a 600w digital (takes either HPS or MH with no conversion bulb or switching of ballasts), and 2 4' floursecents. I think putting a couple LED panels on the side walls of my DIY grow-module would be awesome

wow looking good i did not know that LED was any good but i see you have proven me wrong
