So i have a lowes cabinet that ive made light proof and the inside footprint is about 21x28 inches roughly. i have 2 plants i bought as clones from the dispensary w/ my card. one was a bubba kush, the other fire OG....i noticed the clones had no pistels which made me think they might have been cloned immature?? i dunno, i dont clone.... anyways in the cabinet ive flowered in here dozens of times with my 400 hps but now its too hot because ive since moved and the set up is different, no AC no nuthing, long story short cant vent my 400 in my apartment closet....so i have a 135watt 3-watt LED 7 band i purchased from HTG supply...and also a 90 watt UFO from GROWUFO....i just got the 90 watt off my friend last night because they have been vegging for about a month and went into 12/12 on sept 25th, (TO ME)...i see little to no signs of flowering yet except for tiiiiiny little pistels (only the first 2-strand ones) coming off of the fire OG, no signs of flowering whatsoever on the bubba....so i know its only been give or take 2 weeks since 12/12 shouldnt i see something right now?? i remember with my HPS id have huge broad fan leave and huge nugs and they would switch from veg to flower in a matter of days....basically my question is HAS ANYBODY SUCCESSFULLY FLOWERED ANY BUD WITH AN HTG SUPPLY 135 WATT 7 band 3-watt LED light?????? or a 90 watt GROWUFO???? my temps are perfect79-84, humidity is fine. no bugs, no PM, FFOF soil w/ floranova veg and bloom nutrients, not over or underwater, guaranteed....i just always heard these can match a 400 and i dont see it yet... can somebody please give me some input??? Does LED take longer to flower?DSC00187[1].jpg

I have no experience with the panel you're talking about but I noticed flowering didn't start under my blackstars until after the same plants in another room under hps. I'll also have to say I no longer use led in flower but love them in veg.

with the blackstars they were boasting quicker to flower due to all the red but I just didn't see it, saw the opposite actually.

well how was the overall outcome??? how much did u get off the blackstars? what size wattage? i dont need massive nugs just maybe 2 or 2.5 ounces per grow...will my 2 LEDS pull THAT OFF atleast??

I didn't really weigh it but probably somewhere around 3 zips of smaller nugs per plant, I vegged them pretty big and also ran two blackstar 500 in a 4 by 4 tent with two plants.

Panels not necessary. What is needed though is to determine the spectral balance YOUR plants need to flower. Although R/B can flower, they are missing the 500-610nm spectrums (which hps is known for). No biggie. Get a cheap vanity fixture (or 2) + warm white low watt screw in led bulbs (or cfls) to supplement

I am not in flower yet, but this has worked well in the past.

I used one of their 2010 UFOs. I wasn't impressed with the results, though it could have been worse.

I bought their 432w 7 band about 6 weeks ago, I got it for a comparison grow, but after getting PAR readings from it, I've decided it wasn't even worthwhile. I'm putting it on Ebay for cheap.
