alright guys I've got quite a bit of questions about growing with LEDs does anyone have pictures of their LED grows? How were the yields? Also is it harmful to keep the LED lights too close? If so how?
Also is it harmful to keep the LED lights too close? If so how?
I thought that fan leaves soaked up the light and that the buds dont absord the light. It wpuld make harvest far easier if those leaves werent needed throughout flowering?Yes, They will bleach/burn your leaves/buds. Start at 2 foot from top of canopy and experiment till you find what works best for the lights you have. For light peneratation you should consider cutting off fan leaves after bud sites form in flower that block light from bud sites.
You should also consider LED specific sunglases to wear while working with your plnts under the LED. I use Method 7 sunglaases, but they ain't cheap.
How far away from top of plants are you keeping it? Have any pics of how it's coming along?Also first grow with an led light of any size...12 days old
20 days nowHow far away from top of plants are you keeping it? Have any pics of how it's coming along?
Its probably 24 inches awayHow far away from top of plants are you keeping it? Have any pics of how it's coming along?
Last option should be removing the leafs. That is their solar panels so don't slow them down. Tuck em and push em down out of the wayYes thats true, and I disagree with removing the fan leaves, but from what I have read and seen first hand the leaves blocking bud sites have to be removed for the lower buds to do anything at all. I have only been using LED's about 6 months myself, still lots to learn. But penertration is poor with LED's if anything is blocking the light. I remove as few as possible.
Im using LEDs but am also prepared with CFLs once flowering comes around in order to get that light penetrationLast option should be removing the leafs. That is their solar panels so don't slow them down. Tuck em and push em down out of the way
All I veg under is CFLs. They are beast. You got a beautiful garden. Keep up the hard workIm using LEDs but am also prepared with CFLs once flowering comes around in order to get that light penetration
Weve got the same light. Grow girls go. Transplanting tonightIm using LEDs but am also prepared with CFLs once flowering comes around in order to get that light penetration
