Yeah- I crazy for plants! Actually my passion is growing rare and endangered native hawaiian plants and have worked in conservation in the Koolaus for many years. I'm sure I know your cousin KKDay that works in conservation.

I'm excited to have my friend come stay with me for a couple of months, he's originally from BC and hes bringing with him some old school genetics from the uncles.

Have a good week folks!!

Alright how much herb are you guys yielding per plant. Where I live is super dry. When I plant far off if I keep up with the watering I get about a quarter oz per. Maybe 3/4. If its close I get closer to an oz. I usually grow in pots. I've grown pounders in the summer, but that was in my yard and nerve wrecking. Just wondering how you guys are doing.

you know when I was expanding my grow op to include an indoor op, with my normal outdoor op. I considered using LED lights. I saw several advantages to having them. But found only one flaw in them. But that one flaw was enough to change me on my ideas about using LED's light for my indoor grow op.
I truly believe LED is the future but now is not the time! Right now the LED industry is pretty much controlled by two maybe three Chinese LED companies,who throw on different labels for American companies that retail LED lights. The fact remains that the technology is still very new,and with new comes steep prices. But that wasn't the reason the kept me from purchasing LED lights. While the light seems to get by with vegging, they are terrible for flowering in my opinion. Hey, but if you live in a High rise in Honolulu!? I imagine it is probably the safest way to go.
I wish you the best of luck, and I will be watching your films(videos).

Thanks the insight Puna. I'm very small scale and grow solely for medical purposes. My first grow started in December '09 with a UFO LED, and some CFLS. For a first timer I'm happy with my results. I yielded 5.08 Oz dried/cured, which might be a very small quantity for you guys but its alot for me.

The major benefit I see from LEDs are:

  • No need for high grade cooling and ventilation
  • Extremely low electricity bills
  • No need to replace parts after each grow (Ballasts, Bulbs)
  • No special electricity requirements. Uses standard wall socket
  • LED's cover all Red & Blue Spectrums
Yes, I agree LED's are a bit expensive. But after one grow, it paid it self off. Think about how much electricity I saved! I do agree that they will get better. I predict that in about 2 years, HPS will be a thing of the past.

Note: There's a massive misconception that LED's are only good for flowering. Thats just false.

At the end of the day, do whats best for you.

-- Peace

LED's are actually good now? sounds awesome, i thought the technology was 10 years away.
