Dood! I love Tang. And I actually have owned one of those space pens in the past. I didn't do too much upside down writing, but I still thought they fucking cool.

I was curious and looked it up. LED high lumen bulbs are nonexistent and or experimental and dangerous.

Given what I've read, Lumens aren't really a factor with LEDs. It's more about what area of the spectrum they give off, and the Candela ratings.

I emailed LED-Grow-Masters, this was the response I got back;

"We use EVERY wavelength proven by science, to grow strong healthy tasteful plants. Just red and blue are not sufficient to supply all needed light to plants.

The ratios you have been reading about, have been made up on forum threads, and are pure conjecture, as they are missing several points in the spectrum responsible for proper plant actions. The other 'LED Grow Light Systems' you are looking at, are not LED Grow Lights, they are red and blue spots or floods purchased for cheap, and sold as 'LED Grow Lights'. Our LGMs are patented in the US by SolarOasis and have several patents pending internationally, no others are patented, not even HPS/MH are patented to grow plants.

Our LEDs are mostly custom make, consisting of patented proprietary blends."

I wasn't specific as to what application I was thinking of for using their lights... But the company is from Oregon (subsequently I would assume the rep that emailed me is as well). And even though I didn't say I wanted to buy their lights to grow weed, I think he knew that's probably what my intention was. And right now they are the only only commercial company I can find that produces anything in the realm of actual "LED Grow Lights".

I want to give their product a shot, just have to get some more cash together. When I do I'll be sure to create a grow journal and let you guys know what's up.

You mention 2 minor nasa contributions. There are many more. We can thank nasa for the comfortable ski clothing that is available today. Trust me growing up in the midwest in the 60's and freezing my elementary rear end off walking to and from school - I will give nasa their due on that one. Who knows - they may also be right about the LED lights. I am willing to keep an open mind.

Bro I was looking at the same lights and did speak to the rep told him I was growing bud he told me it does work great for veg and bud I am going to ordered 2 of these lights also but @ 260.00 each it was time to pull out the wholesale card to save some bucks. living in hawaii it cost way too much for HPS or MH I do use T5 HID lighting and the rep told me it would be best to augment the LED with a couple on the sides using a 3x6x6 grow box painted white inside. that is what I am building using DWC hydro. so if it works I'll share.

I am tired of fucking rippers i will not grow outside any longer just got riped for 2 plants in hydro huge buds so 6 Oz loss bummer and some damage to green house but the lil fucker did me a favor i filed a claim to the ins co got a check for $2,500.

I heard you guys pay out the butt in electric over there. I would really check out the LED's. Myself I am testing out a new one that does not look like any of the LED's. Look for my grow journal "New LED" GOOD LUCK

Hi everyne:

I am doing drip and drain system in 5 gallon buckets in a 7X7X7 tent, with fluorescent lights and LED's light's combiuned. Scientific studies by NASA show that combining these 2 lights will yield a lot more. Of course I also used CO2. I was using dry ice at first until I got my Co2 tank. I keep my Ph 5.8 -6.2 for better absortion of nutrients. Humidity at 50% and temp at 79 degrees.
I irrigate 4 times a day for 30 minutes and I use organic nutrients.
Right now they are just one month old and the other set 1 month 7 days . They look as if one week ahead because it has 4 internodes. They are showing pistillate primordia. They don't look that bad. Rooting is visible below.

I will keep you posted!

Peace!

You can find my panels for $50.00 - $100 on ebay. Better than those plain and expensive led's.

Peace!

I have been growing with the Theoreme Innovation TI-600 ProBloom LED growlight. Made in Quebec. Draws 330W. Has diodes in many spectra, including IR and UV, not just red and blue. I'm saving up to buy a second unit to hang from my mover, unless I can find a new contender. I supplement it with 2 60W 2700K CFLs (300W incandescent equiv). This is only for flowering, BTW. for veg, I have 14 23W 6500K CFLs.

The CFLs give me dense foliage with very toight (pronounced 'toyt') internodes. The LED simply needs a twin for me to achieve the same awesome potency and density and calyx-to-leaf ratio while nearly doubling my yield above current levels of 1.25 Oz per plant x 6 plants in a 4 to 5 foot square lighted area. Two plants to one EarthBox container full of FFOF and some dry guanos, all 100% natural and organic. After planting, I simply pour distilled water into the reservoir until full once or twice a week. Granted, I spent a lot on the light, but it works well enough that I want t-- another. (I almost said I want two, but that would be limiting...) All my lighting takes place in less than 1000W and draws only a couple Amps. Even without airflow (vent fans off) in a sealed 8x8x6H box, I watched the LED raise the temp in the room from 75 to 85 deg F, but it took 2 hours and never went higher... All parts of the light while operating are never more than warm to the touch. But don't look at the pretty diodes while on. Especially the UV ones, yeah, the ones that look like they're not on when the rest are.

G-13, Blue Dream, Bonana, Cinderella99 x Sweettooth, & a mystery seed plant that's def indica. All organic in soil with LED and CFL. Grow Green Green. Get it? Growing the green bud that's ecologically "green."

Time for my meds now...
