av just switched ti led,s,,,this is ma very first led grow.
i read,,or seen somewhere that a certain brand of a 1000w led unit was only putting out the equivillant of a 250w hpos.now thats not true for all led units,,,,i have a 2000w vander life unit,,am no sure what the actuall wattage output is,,,but av ordered a meter so i can find oot,,,i,ve also ordered another 1000w vander life unit as side lighting,,,an i,ll be ordering another for thge otherside in a couple o weeks.
an i must say,,,with the added uv and ir led,s,,,am findin it is makin ma plants grow bigger,,,and the nuggs are tighter.
but wi led,s,,,am thinkin toppin once,,,and lollipoping is the best way to use led,s in a wee tent,,mines 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m tent.
i also use coco,,,an
cal-mag,,,read that
cal-mag is needed more often usin led,s anyhoo,,,no sure if theres any truth in that,,,but i use it anyhoo in coco.
if you check you tube,,look for youre modell led unit,,,and see if theres a review in there,,sometimes they put the actuall wattage on the review.
also,,,i don,t start ma veg period till ma seedlings have their first 3 leaf set is oot,,,thats wen i start ma veggin,,,i also do fi seeds.
do you breed yer ain strains man??????
