i got to say led lighting supports very very slow growth. Those things look good man but its been about 35 days since they broke through the surface right.

ya, its been about 35 days since I put the first 2 in. I make a mistake though and put them in the system when they were only about an inch tall, and no roots were showing through the rockwool. Never used rockwool or anything like that so I didnt know what i was supposed to do with it. I've only ever grown outside.lol, who's to say how big they would be right now if I'd waited another 10 days to 2 weeks for them to develop a proper root system first.

One good thing about this experiment is I'm getting to learn how to grow Aeroponically, learning from my mistakes and from all the advice and help I've found on here. But, ultimately my main goal is to see how well I can grow with these lights. I'm pretty sure I wont be depending on them solely for any future grows, lol. but, I will also be trying them in addition to a 200W CFL next, and then a 400W HPS. I also have a 1000W MH, but I wont be using that anytime soon.

Hey, vertise. I just checked out your grow. I dont think i saw it in there, but then again, my eyes are pretty bleary right now (friggin hangover, ouch)
How many plants do you have under that 400? they look real good, I'm just wondering whats a decent amount of plants to put under a 400 as far as the optimum amount of light coverage goes.

Everything is goin good, just a quick update here.

Room temp- 22*C/71.6F
Rez temp- 20C/68F
pH-6.01
nutes-DNF-full strength
Light 24/7
R.H.-44%

I also ordered Juicy Fruit and Kahuna from BCseedking, so this is really cool grow journal for me to check out.

Whats heat like with those led's? could you get them any closer?

I could get them closer but I'd have to rig up a different mounting system for them. I'm gonna see what I can do this weekend.

damn you have those lights on 24h and they still are that small? i also suggest moving close as you can

Ok, once again this is just an experiment, lol. I do keep the lights closer, but I have to move them up to take pics. I cant get my camera in there with the lights at the sides there too. The temp. right under the lights is 22*C or 71.6*F. I keep them about 2 inches from the tops of the plants.

The two plants at the end were put in one week before I should have put them in because I didn't know you should wait for the roots to come through the rockwool. The two in pics up front in pics 3&5 were put in a week later, they weren't showing any roots either. And, I started out using full strength nutes, this is my first Aero/Hydro grow at all and I didn't know till afterwards that you should start with 1/2 or 1/4 strength nutes. Not to mention that I had the lights 6' above them for the first week because I didn't read the information properly and didn't have a proper rig for them anyway.

While I do realize that the lights are probably a contributing factor to the slow growth, I am not disappointed thus far. they are very green, very healthy and I'm learning alot as I go. I'm not growing a cash crop here, I'm just being curious. Like I said earlier in this thread, I'm gonna try them as a supplement next grow and see how that goes too. speed/size/yield and potency.

A lot of ppl on here have expressed their curiosity and interest in this experiment. I'll do my crop outside this summer again, but for now this is keeping me occupied throughout the winter too, hehe. And, who knows? I may get some very interesting bud from it, that would be a bonus.

I bet its really trippy looking at all those plants under those lights and them reflecting off the walls and such. Very cool experiment and wish you all the luck in learning and budding.

good to see everythings still lookin good thunder.

Im still followin this. If you have any questions just post, ill try and help out.
