I do not know about you guys, but I really trust this dude Wejuana to be totally unbiased whatsoever.

Yes I am with you on that one my friend. In fact, after the new year I am starting my own company and he is going to be top of my list to test my designed led spectrum, I already know it's gonna rock but still. it would be good to have someone like him as I know I will get an unbiased viewpoint and honesty above all else

I'm with you guy's wejauna seems legit I will say I have seen some shady grow journals where shit just wasn't right and of course the guy is bragging about the free lights he was getting from the company who's light was winning in his journal.

At the moment all I can say is that I am sourcing my equipment or find a good quality manufacturer to build them to MY specifications i.e, the spectrums that I know work better specifically for mary jane. You noticed how Penetrator now uses Green, well that was my idea put forward to Cammie 18 months ago any she brushed it off, now glad I didn't say much else. But I have 25 years experience in the electronics industry, been growing for 15 years, I am not going to spam my company on these journals though. But I will make this promise. NO ONE will be getting ripped with over pricing and the spectrums will be perfect (8 of them). I will soon give out my price for my first light designed to replace a 600watt hps in 10ft square tent

nice Wejuana, what kind of issue did you have with the nutes? Your plants look healthy to me. If they got to that size in 30 days and they have another 15-20 to go, they should be a reasonable size, maybe nothing to brag about but enough to get LEDs some respect.
To me, growing an once of premium weed is worth 200$(that's what I would be paying for...), I am only hoping I can grow 200ish grams with roughly 450W of total LEDs out of this one and only crop this year. This way I would feel like my LEDs are paid for. And apparently, almost all of those lights will be easily good for another 10 crops with no extra fee, and if that's the case, never again I will buy an HID!
Looking forward to see your harvest for each light Wej! Good luck

When you say 450watts do you mean watts consumption ? Coz I'd like to see over 1g/watt on a regular basis then everyone going for the target of 2g/watt. Coz that's the day led's win

I gotta say thanks to WJ! This thread and everyones input has helped me choose LED over HID for my grow rooms.
If all goes well today I will complete the build and will start actually growing within a week with several LED's and a few different brands
I will be journaling my grow in hopes of getting help from many of you as I am a new grower and will need all the help I can get.
Thanks again WJ for this fantastic journal!

What up WeJuana? Was looking at your latest pics and got to wondering...I don't see many fan leaves, are you pruning them or is it just the phenos of this strain?
Also, can you please speak on the amount of stretch you've seen with each light? Did one stretch more than the others? I know you left the lights stationary and the plants were all about the same height when you put into the tents, so just wondering how the stretching went.
Thanks!

I've never pulled less than 1.5gpw with LEDs ao we are already there man.When you say 450watts do you mean watts consumption ? Coz I'd like to see over 1g/watt on a regular basis then everyone going for the target of 2g/watt. Coz that's the day led's win

So write a book that we can all follow with everything that is done from how you picked clones to how and when and why you repotted , etc...I am sure it exists just not for indoor leds in detail. As not all of us are there yet, wishing and holding my breath for my first led buds.

Just a scrog bro and LEDs I'd barely be getting 1gpw from an hid if I was lucky I'm nobody special bro LEDs make u a hero in that area lol not my doing I just use what I paid for. A kessil and a 240 blackstar

Well done, my point was that Everyone should be achieving this and I agree with your scrogg method for LED, it's the only way to go, but heyho 2g/watt ? Maybe soon ?

There's a guy doin it already with the plant photonics led its the panel that got me into led very knowledgable price threw me when I was a noob but his theory is sound. I'm very impressed with this guys results I'll link the thread jubaire already did though

Yes I followed this guy on the net a few months back. The reason he got into it was that a friend of his bought a crappy led ufo a few years back when they first came out, it broke down so he contacted the company that he had bought it from and was just laughed at, so the photonic guy repaired it for him and got into the led thing. I suspect they are good lights though, and I wish him all the success in the world

You have a journal of this grow somewhere? I am growing 3 plants right now under 2 240watt Blackstars and I can tell you now there is no way im gonna get more than 6oz off of all 3. That being said im only in week 3 of flower but im pretty confident in that estimate. I just bought these for a test. THis is our first run with them in a 4x4.

You need to scrog man or supercrop I'm not runnin vert. Lol I pulled an ounce and a half from a root rotted plant.
talk is cheap kaptin kron we have all heard these boasts before but once again they are boasts without backup all to common in led threads ....
if your doing so great why dont you do a journel to help all led growers ?
my bet is your 100% full of shit prove me wrong
EDIT: just saw your pic of your led grow your a micro growing amature gtfo an stfu you got shut down by your parents LOL please stop talking out of your ass we can search your posts you no .... wannabe

The tents all started showing Mag deficiency, the Penetrator and Spectra tent were showing worse than the Blackstar. While trying to correct the mag, the Blackstar tent received too much, and started showing Mn deficiency. There was also a period of about a week where I was over watering due to switching the inline fans to run only when the lights were on (instead of 24/7) which caused slower drying of the soil which I didn't account for.
The plants are definitely looking better now, and seem to be continually to improving.
I actually just trimmed the bulk of the leaves off on day 29. My buddy, whom I got this strain from, informed me that trimming at week 4 has significantly increased his yields. After doing a little research, I found validity to this, especially regarding the LA Con strain. I think it was helpful to the plants too because they were stressed already due the to the deficiency, so trimming lessened the size of the problem they would have to correct.
As far as stretch went, I didnt notice too much of a difference at all. I know they all did some stretching, but I didn't pay close enough attention to accurately talk on it. I will pay more attention to this next round.. I'll take measurements of height when they enter and then again after the first few weeks
leogets.. why dont you take yourself and all 7 of your posts trollin on mine and Sleezys LED grows.. and actually go grow your own or.. at least do something concerning yourself.
