Wow, they're very glossy and healthy. It's nice to see them in 'normal' light for a change. Rock on.

SnSstealth;1835400]they were telling me that i am doing shit wrong too....that i should have the lights RIGHT on the plants. i explained that the procyon recommends 24" and we are at 14"...eh...dont know why its bothering me, but i asked him what tests he has done....none. I kinda dont think someone can tell me i am doing wrong, when i still have yet to see and LED grow at this level yet....just rambling guys, sorry...

hey stealth crew,

don't sweat what some fool say's... he has no expirience with your light what does he know.... you guys got the best led grow show goin on.... I'll bet that fool talkin shit, buys his smoke from a real grower... so don't sweat the small stuff.. btw howz the bug issue...what kind r u dealin with...i'm tryin to control the bugs too... the ladiez r still lookin grrrrrreat keep it up whiskey and dough...

I have an idea but it is up to you it seems to work here so far... But here it goes I have 4 little ones going I started getting these little flying things coming around. First I found a piece of cedar about 4"x2"x1" and sat it in the middle of the ladies, Now I have not seen a bug 1 for a month now? Hope this helps? I do not know if I would do it to this grow though if you do use the cedar very sparingly but it does seem to work with me ..

the bugs dont seem to be getting worse, but there are more of the spotted leaves dying off..and the plants that were hit seem to be vegging again instead of flowering...wierd..just some pre-flowers still, so they are now about 4 weeks behind the other plants...wondering if its worth it to keep them going...opinions?

thanks for the idea pops, but not sure if you answered my question that you quoted...lol

vegging again? Huh?? Stealth what's going on over there???

SnSstealth · #**756** (**permalink**) Mar-28-2008, 12:23

i am so lost WH!!!

flushed...sprayed twice...dont seem to have bugs anymore...but they STILL ony have a few pre-flowers, and are growing ALOT of laterals and leaves....WTF! cut them too much? just gave them food again yesterday, they had straight water and 2 flushes before that...so maybe they will improve? i gotta do multiple harvests anyway, so maybe i will keep them...if they ever start doing their thing again....they have grown 2-3 more nodes, while all the others have almost stopped vert growth and are just plumping buds....

Keep them in flower but if you are using ANYTHING with nitrogen in it, cut it back to half or less. Check for light leaks too in the vicinity of that plant.

Wow lookin good man

thanks stinky

...2 of the nutes we are using have N in them....so, I'll cut that back on those 2 plants

Hey stealth good job on this. Were they ever under Florescents? How Strong are the stems? Do you think that being under Leds the whole time could have been helped W/ using a T5 for wright after seeding? It would make them stronger and just leave it for SUPP light.Tek makes a lamp eight bulbs 40,000 lumens five fixtures equal a 1000 HPS. I know this is a LED GROW log but it is also to find a way for growers to lesson there chances of detection w/o a street ligh wright? So if thats the case 5 Teks equal 200,000 Lumens which equals a 1000 HPS. So maybe 3 procoyos and 5 Teks for side lighting and SUPP lighting for the next one?

3 procyons $1,800 5 Teks $2,000.

SnSstealth · #**762** (**permalink**) Mar-28-2008, 16:47

they got FAT stems...dont think the T5 would help for the cost...we may just add a few $60 14w cree kits from the guys who did our procyon...or get physicsnole to build it for us....lol

I think you will really like the array design im thinking. cover the entire surface of one of these heatsinks Bonded Fin/ Standard Parts with the luxeon rebels (only 3mm*4.5mm[13.5mm^2], 0.12"*0.18") and the LedEngin 10W and 15W LEDs(both 7mm* 7mm, 49mm^2). I was thinking of using one of those heatsinks with a width*length*height of 305 mm*371mm*152mm (12"*14.59"*6") , thats 113,155mm^2 cooling area with dual 100cfm fans. on that 113,155m^2 we could fit 8000 luxeon rebel LEDs or 2000 10W LedEngin LEDs!!!!

( with proper ventilation and cooling). the °C/W rating is .028°C/W, so for it to get 28°C hotter than it would have to receive 1000W of heat energy from the LEDs, voltage regulators, whatever needs to be cooled.

and maybe once i get some funds we could use water cooling systems (like this radio shack one but on a larger scale[will be much cheaper to make]) RadioShack.com - Computers: Components & parts: Cooling systems: Bigwater 735 Liquid Cooling System

What is the cost of this and what is it comparable too? 50 Procyons

.. LOL Good Luck Ill order your first one. I'm looking for all new equipment... When your not confused

LOL

T5 are a great source for SUPP Light for Veg or Flower Stealth 54 watt flowering 24 Watt Veg High Output Ballasts

what about the fluorescent bulbs ?? Cheap to buy and operate and cool running too. Do they work just as well ??

...cant wait to see the end...almost there! thanks again to everyone who has been here, helping and giving ideas, happy comments, and even criticism. I totally forgot to get a pic of the bonsai i am flowering, i started to bonsai her in hopes of being a mom, but she is getting flowered instead..got some crazy shit for next grow

fed em today with grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom, beastie blooms, and for the hell of it since we got a sample free, threw in some Sweet.. I'll go buy my succanant when this sample runs out.

a few of the plants have like 40-50% red hairs already...any ideas? no seeds, and its still
