    The high-bay lighting is what inspired me to start using the smaller flood lamps now available at DIY stores, The White LED IMO works very well:-)

    Growing Under White LED, Anyone Else Doing This?

    LOL... FranJan noted a while ago in this string that it is used for more than EOD treatments. I just seem unable to find a lot of info on it. Since a big name company like Philips is selling it for flowering, rooting etc. IMO, it must be used in other treatments. I know there has been some...

    Growing Under White LED, Anyone Else Doing This?

    This is my understanding and experience to date with Far Red... I do not want to misdirect anyone... I am not a master gardener, plant biologist etc... I am very knowledgeable about lighting and electricity, dad was a electrician and lighting engineer... He nearly found out about my growing...

    Growing Under White LED, Anyone Else Doing This?

    I cut to auto plant today... What it looked like some time ago... The results... I'm happy with it. Other plants still working with some started clones. What I learned, WATER and PH are much more important with LED. I've had a too low Ph condition... I have a new digital Ph tester...

    Growing Under White LED, Anyone Else Doing This?

    trueg115, Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, Walmart, Target, and many other places are finding and selling "affordable" LED light bulbs. Yes, they are still expensive... Not all are created equal... Between Home Depot and an order to a horticulture supplier I replaced two 70 watt HPS lamps with LED...

    There are many different LED grow fixtures/lights out there... Many work well :-) and some do not :-(... Some have white LEDs too... I am out to use LED Bulbs/Lamps that I can get at the local DIY store as another option. LED lighting products are so new and only time will tell what is going...

    FranJan, No worries... There's a lot I don't know, This ain't the HPS of my youth... I am overly impressed with the novel methods folks have created and are using to grow...

    Growing Under White LED, Anyone Else Doing This?

    A couple of pics... Day 18, I raised the short plant to get it out of the shadows... Pic of lights... The change of the white floods is seeming to be a good thing. I need to find a frosted glass diffuser, the 5000k floods are very intense. I'm considering making a rewire so I can ramp up...

    Kill a Watt... Around 475 for all lights and mountings. How it looks on a "veg" light I'm working on. I need to diffuse the flood lamp, it will burn up young plants.

    FranJan, you are technically correct and does not really matter unless your going to do a EOD light treatment. Splifferous is working on that...:)

    Growing Under White LED, Anyone Else Doing This?

    I made a mistake with the FR lamp... In further study, as I understand it, Far Red is used to manipulate plants with end of day treatments and night interruption to get some result. I as understand it, it is a very specific science and varies plant to plant... I agree all white LEDs give off a...

    Growing Under White LED, Anyone Else Doing This?

    The stretch was caused by my over usage of Far Red (~725 - 750). I am currently no longer using Far Red. In the future I plan to experiment with end of day treatments but this means a re-wire. I am a little concerned over height of the plants but am very happy with the performance of lamps...

    I'll be the first to admit my technique is poor... I've always pretty much thrown it in the box and gotten results. Learning under LED I've got to change some old ways...
