Hi Folks,
As promised a grow solely under the LED lights. This is not the side by side comparo I plan to do in the future because I want to do that from clones but, this is a grow from seeds. Here are the details:

Soil: Generic no name Professional Potting soil (no nutes).
Lights: See above pictures
Strain: Chronic- 50% Sativa 50% Indica
Fan: NO FAN
Fertilizer: Hydroponic/Soil/Soil-Less (chemical) Veg 20-6-16, Flower 9-30-12
Temp: 22- 23 degrees C or 72-74 degrees F both Day & Night
Pots: 8 inch, 3 Gallon
LST: None
Topping: Maybe
FIM: none

As you noticed for these seedlings I will not be using any fan at all. The reason for this is my associate claims the advantage of his lights over HID lights is growing does not have to be a “big production” with his lights. Stems, stalks and leaves on his plants get thick and strong from the light alone. We will see about that.

Unfortunately, I only have room to get 2 plants under them for now so hopefully if I get one female I can dedicate that to a cloning mother and get a few clones under there, and we can then quickly switch to the 400 watt HPS by LED grow to the finish. So, unless these two are both female I probably won’t go all the way through just yet. But, for a veg comparo, I think it will give us a good idea of the potential of the lights.

Please feel free to ask questions and please leave plenty of comments.
