under 70 watts of CFL.. you can veg for 2 months if you wanted

i used to veg under 250watts worth of CFL and plants never got higher then 3ft, pots included.

Sorry your LED will not have light penetration for a tall plant. As soon as its rooted I would switch to flower.

I have 2-240w Blackstars. I started using them in the middle of flower to control heat. The plant was about 3 feet the bottom 1 1/2 - 2" died off.

I don't have any pictures, sorry the grow it long gone. I called the rep about my problem and he recommended that I flower from seed. Seeing the light penetration if I try to flower with the LED next summer I will root my clones for a couple of weeks and put them under 12-12.

Right now I'm using the LED for veg along with my T-5. I put the tallest plants under the LED to decrease stretch.
