So far the plants are already showing some growth and its only been a day and a half will post new pics in a few days

Im prepared for the worst but hoping for the best. Leds work well along side hps. Thats what i was using them for at first but i wanted to try just leds and see what happens.

Good point i had to make it so you guys could see the plants so i lowered the plants off the raisers i have them on

Definitely cheap no heat and they dont blind you when your working on your garden. Saves space by not having to have a lot of intake and exhaust fans but good ventilation is key. We'll see how they go.

Thanks for the questions and hope to have some good results for everybody.

the leds should be as close as possible to the growing plants. It is ok to touch the LEDs to the leaves. Chlorophyll A absorption can be enhanced with 400-470nm, and 630-660nm wavelengths. Chlorophyll B absorption can be enhanced with 400-470nm, and 615-635nm. Fluorescents are good for raising...

I copied the design off a friend of mine. the parts are availalbe at electric strores you just take a circuit board and the leds and resistors and put em together. the price to make each board is about 35 bucks.

Im using some new high performance led boards hand made. Gotta see if this led shit works or not. using 5mm leds 6 blue to 1 red for veg and 6 blue to 1 red flwr. only using 4 watts for each board which puts out 1656 combined candela. with 3 boards. We'll see how it goes.

600 watt hps digital ballast with cool tube reflector or horizontal reflector with a inline fan you will need a carbon filter for smell and a intake / exhaust system for nice air circulation, the bigger the plants pot is the bigger the roots get letting your plant produce more branches which...

Id look into using cool tube reflectors to minimize heat.

Like how any other high school drop out gets a job. Inside connections. Its not what you know its who you know.

:joint:This is my personal garden, I do work for the clubs in california as a grower/vender. Check what you can do with minimal space, smell and cost. I have constructed a garden with my mothers the 1st pic and my clones 2nd pic and the infants 3rd pic and the pre flowers are the 4th, the...

Is there a money limit?

Try using stakes the buds are usually top heavy and to absorb the light you need to use stakes to hold the bud properly so it can absorb as much light as possible- Mrsmokey
