Has anyone ever cloned with led?

The reason I asked is because I have changed all my plants to led's bought 2x 300w panels and made a few panels 18w and 54w gonna clone under them and wonder if there are any diy led growers that have clones with leds and what nm works best im gonna try 620nm and 460nm. I've got a computer tower with the 18w led and the plants are doing better than my old mother tent with 2 ho T5 that cost 4x the price.

Hey I hope you find the right LED for you, from reading your posts you sound allot like me, not knowing which light to get, and only having enough money to do it once, I have to admit I started out buying 30 or so CREE bulbs from home depot, and was going to gang them up in my box with turkey pans for reflectors, then a cool dude from 420 magazine came along and turned me onto the mars 300 , that sale on ebay for 92 dollars usa money ( it has since dropped in price to 85 dollars usa). so I took all the cree bulbs back to home depot, and got a refund for 170 dollars usa, , and I got a much better light in the end , I dont work for any led company, I just know the light I got from mars is solid, I have had it opened up to replace the fans with quieter fans, and the inside equipment is built very well, and the leds will blind you if you look at them for more than a couple of seonds,, I hope this helps

I didn't know how to send a private message to you Tim Fox , so I'll ask here : Marshydro 2 , as I noticed you can;t switch veg/bloom and is 5w led. Is that corect ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MarsHydro-Reflector-300w-Led-Grow-Light-Grow-Flower-LED-Grow-Lamp-Panel-Switches/261105144584?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20131017132637&meid=1326e9adc8284e338f446d859759f90a&pid=100033&prg=20131017132637&rk=4&rkt=4&mehot=pp&sd=310917962576 so , what kind of marshydro is this one then ? Is it better a 5W led than this one ? Which one did you use ? And yes , I think I read to much about LED , cause I;m more confused that I was before reading about it :)

I think there is a Marshydro rep' on the 420magazine website, who customarily arranges some discounts for forum members that contact her, so you could check that out. I'm sure you'll also be able to find plenty of answers to any questions about the different models by searching "marshydro" both in here and over there.

I recieved some northern lights feminized seeds already, and now I am debating to use one of those seeds for my first scrog run under the 300 watt Mars led, what I really have my heart set on now is some Durban Poison, but am I nuts to try a 100 pure sativa under the 300 led mars with a scrog?,, I should ask this in general also

Seems like if youre gonna run a ballsdeep sativa in a small gro, might as well top or fim it. Or even do the clones straight in to 12/12 to keep the size manageable.
just make sure you dont need that space for a while.
i let a satty get too many nodes b4 i realised ( it had like 8 nodes but was 6"ish in veg.)
When i hit the 12/12 it jumped up to about 4 foot, each node stretched to about 8" long between or more.
learning the hard way.

I really thought it was an indica the way it started out more squat than any other plant ive had.

My master kush finished first ans i hit the timer back to veg so now revegging it all to get some clones to keep smaller next round.

I Hear you loud and clear on the sativa's in the grow box, I may just save my passion for some Durban for outdoors here after it becomes legal July 1st, thanks for the heads up on the amount of stretch

you are so right, the mars forum on 420 is simply massive, and there is a rep answering questions often, that is where I was first told about my mars 300 1st gen led,

if you can afford the mars lights that have the downward reflectors and the veg bloom switches, by all means buy them, some sweet grows have come off of the 600 watt mars with the switches, most of the long time wise led guys say to strive for 45-60 watts per squar foot ( not sure what that is in meters), but a mars 300 1st gen is around 175 true watts, , its easy to hit higher watts in smaller packages with the newer 5 watt lights, but its not neccsary , watts are watts, if you want 600 watts, you can buy 2 of the older 300's for under 200 dollars usa,, they add up, so its completly safe to start out with a 300, and add more on later grows if you feel you need more, you see many people here hanging them together in grow rooms,, hope this helps

Why don't you try a Durban Poison Auto? If your so limited on space?

my grow box is 6 feet tall, the fan and filter take up 10 inches in the top rear, and the 3 gallon pots go in the bottom, so I am left with 4 feet of growing height, is that enough for a good sativa?,

I read some bad reviews about marshydro . they said the penetration is not enough , that;s why I asked you guys. And somebody mention the CXA series. Yes , as I heard are the best at the minut, but I didn;t find a full setup, I mean FULL. And if I get the cob , fan and everything , who;s gonna help me to setup everything if I can;t handle with that ? That's why I said "no" , otherwise I didn;t think twice and I wouldn;t consider marshydro and hans panel. And the price is good for cxa3070.

.Dude, just because some guy says, "mars hydro is not good" , and that guy has never owned a mars light, and that guy could very well be a user of HID lights, opinions fly around here like eggs at a chicken house, BUT, if you look at people here who own a mars light, and look at thier grows and look at the pictures of thier harvests, how can you doubt what you see with your own eyes

also, if you wil notice the cost of the cob light on the other thread is over 800 dollars all said and done, plus you have to assemble everything, for that kinda money I would buy a MONSTER size mars light and grow Monster plants!!, why not get a mars 300 light, grow a crop, be happy, then if you need more light latter, than add more light, either add another mars, for more lumens and more penatration, at least you have something to smoke while you upgrade, even if you chose to upgrade, you may be very happy with just a single LED,
as I see it you dont want to do any assembly or soldering or hooking up of wires, so save yourself all this headache and round and round,,
just my 2 cents, I hope you get it figured out, but since I purchased my 300 watt mars I am fully happy, if I want more light after my first go, I will simplly ad a second 300 and run them side by side,, Easy pleasy,,

Yes I have many times over. Sometimes I have to throw hem in the trash. Not because they're bad it because I run out of room when people don't pick up the clones they asked me to make. 7-10 days for roots

I don't know what everyone's complaining about penetration for as you can see from my pics I'm getting some pretty fat buds a couple ft below my canopy hight ... If I penetrated my wife that deep it would be popping out her mouth hahaha

But seriously I have nothing bad to say about my 150w reflectors they are superb I only ordered one as a side project for a single plant but was so happy with progress so far that I now have 2 in a full closet grow with half a dozen lovely ladies in there and a third light on its way for in a small veging cabinet :)
