Some may disagree but LED light has been giving me great results. CFL's never gave me the dense buds or penetration I needed. But I never wanted to get into the heat, ballasts, or the energy consumption of MH/HPS. I have worked my way up to 850 watts of LED power and buds are bigger, stickier...

That seems like allot of light for seedlings (300 watt led) but I guess it wont hurt at that height (30-40cm). I like to use one CFL (100 watt equivalent) 23 actual watt for seedlings week 1. Then add another one for week 2, and a third for week 3. Then at week 4 I lose the CFL's alltogether and...

Yes if you plant the seed 1/4 down with loose soil ontop, and gently watered in, you're good! Do not rewater for at least 3 days. Then lightly water that spot again lightly if she hasnt popped. Dont blast it with your led either. As soon as I can see seedling break soil I suspend a 23 actual...

I run 3 of these. Excellent plants. http://growershouse.com/kessil-h380-spectral-halo-ii

What is your budget? I use these, no more heat, and smokes a 250 watt hps using half the power. http://growershouse.com/kessil-h380-spectral-halo-ii

My buds got way denser when I got rid of the cfl's and switched to LED. My heat issues vanished too.

Good advice....lots more intensity needed for dense nugs.

I like to say it is a 4 month investment or more in this hobby. One month veg minimum and at least 2-3 more months to finish. Not a hobby for the impatient, or those starving for meds, lol! Nothing I like seems to fininish right in 8 weeks, so 10 has become the norm.

I upgraded my army of hot CFL's with a cheap ufo style led ufo from ebay. It was a 135 watt multi spectrum led type (purplish light with blue and red led's). Cost about the same as a 150 watt HPS $75. It was perfect for my one plant. Most importantly and end to heat issues. I have since upgraded...

Things look good, just dont over love it. I add small doses of silica and calmag (1/4 to 1/2 strength) with each nutrient watering at this stage. No science to it, just add to your grow nutrients. As for pesticide I use neem oil by spraying or misting foilage weekly as a preventative. You want...

Ok well my eyes have not yet melted from the intensity of these Kessil's lol. However they seem to work well. My question is realistically how much HID light are the Kessil LED's equivalant to? So far I guess: H150-100 watts H350-200 watts H380-250 watts

Anyone?

I like a two part. As in a grow and bloom. No more complication.

Anyone care to clear up the Kessil mystery for me. Namely how much these lights compare to an HID equivalent. I first read that the number implies the HID equivalant wattage. Like an H150 red would be equivalant to a 150 HPS. Or a H350 magenta would be equivalent to a 350 HPS. However that seems...

All you need is just a little....

Well, sometimes they stretch a little more in full flower. I just keep a tape on the highest colas, and measure up to the led lens daily. I have seen led start to bleach when too close to tops. That cant be good! I gradually work the led's down to about 12" over tops in flower.

The onset of flowering can be slow. My last blueberry went nearly four weeks before starting to flower noticeably well. There is no problem with LED, great lights. However spectrums do affect growth. For instance while vegging I use a pure blue led. At the transition into flower (1 month after)...

Cool what have you decided to buy....more cfl's? If so be sure to get a 50-50 mix of 5000k (daylight) and 2700k (warm) on her if you are still vegging. If you are blooming though Id go 75% warm or redder yellowish light (2700k) and 25% on the whiter daylight (5000 or 6500k) cfl's.

Lol @ jackass mofos that want to make ph a science in soil. All I said from jump is I like to shoot for 6-6.2 in fox farm soil. To further itterate I water watever the ph tester hits first when using a drop of ph down. As long as the range is 6-6.5. But thats retarded right? Hell I can grow like...

If you wernt such a dumas newb youd know that I said 6-6.2 is what I like. But with a little knowledge youd know that you should actually stagger the ph water range with each watering as different ranges from 6-6-5 affect the uptake of different nutrients. By the way keep sucking cock :-)
