LED/ Auto ???

I myself tried out the LED on a critical+ 2.0 auto I had and I tell ya what... you could sure tell the difference guys! I wish I would a been able cover my whole crop. Surely would of increased the yield that I got. Oh, and it was foreign too, lol. I only used it in the flowering stage, so I could only imagine if I would of used it all the way through

say someone say they use cree bulbs at 10-12 inches ....get those closer 2-4 inches they will not bleach like growing leds do, hell some of my plants in the veg cab will grow into a bulb and sit right against it for a day and only have little brown heat spots

my china man fleabay 135w led's do great they have the 3w bridgelux with 90 and 120 lenses the only problem i have is at the " perfect range " the ir and uv emitters burn/ bleach
so what i did on one of them is clip one of the little metal wire thing going to the led's its a zener unit so if one goes out they all dont so ill just let it ride if it stops working on that driver then ill soldier the emmiters back it was only 80 bucks shipped and works great the 4 band was like 50

if its the right led's then it doesnt matter where it was put together do a little research and ask before you buy it to make sure the color temps are right

What's the perfect range?

Get that drop of water off that leaf, it will burn it.

yea, I treat the cree households as CFL as in keeping them close on the plant. I use kessils as well, and those stay at 12 inches give or take, they can and do burn

Thanks man, nice link.

I use white cree leds for my veg cab and in a microcab im doing a seed run in..... should be a baby auto planty in there waiting for me when I get back. Popped its cotyledons up the day I left. I think there are also some white diodes scattered around in my main light.
