YOUR MISSING THE FUCKING POINT

im IM USING ALL BLUE FOR VEG...

from other grows that I have seen, red + blue has been disastrous...

I WILL CONTINUE USING ALL BLUE FOR VEG....

and YES, SO FAR THEY ARE WORKING..... <--- they are maturing as fast or if not faster than other grows I see onn here using expensive energy hogging lights...

if you READ the whole thread, YOU WOULD SEE that the pictures that are posted are after 24 hours (some not even that) under the LEDS... they started with very poor lighting...

lumens mean shit with LEDs... its a whole different ball game...

I will not read any WEED GROWING books, as they are written on the basis of using other lighting... They do not concern what I am doing right now...

why you gotta be so negative about the grow...
please keep negative talk outta the thread...

im not going for the BEST GROW EVER...
im just trynna get some smokeable bud... thats all...

You can grow under either spectrum. I also do the majority of my plants 12/12 from seed, or 24/0 for two weeks and then switch to 12/12. They usually stand 24"36 inches tall and produce around 2 ounces of dried bud per plant, under a 250w HPS. I grow in water, so the results will be slightly diff. than yours, but if space is an issue I must recommend 12/12 from seed.

what happens if they catch it???


has anybody heard of anybody getting busted for buying seeds???

Yes I know if the seeds get intercepted they just send you a letter saying they confiscated them. There will be no further investigation after that.

for extra light with your hps rig sure, helps get some areas the hps cant get.

ive used every one sold, in groups of 10, made some giant panels using alibaba to get vendors in china that grow FOOD with led but nothing. lettuce, hell yeah but no weed.

your plant is stretched cause it has no light. put that blue LED light an inch from it and do as the others state about replanting it. go get a book about growing weed. lumens, spectrums ect;

i would save my cash, move to a better place and grow enough to make it worth your while. pays its own rent


and when your growing it smells like shit, yes thru walls even with wicked filters.

again, just saying think about it

You apparently were using the wrong LED's if that's what you think. Check my sig on my LED grows. They grow weed very well in veg and flower. That is if you use the correct LED's like those made from Luxeon.

i spent several days (yes it took that long), going through your thread...

gives me lots of hope...

LED guru must be a smart dude, cuz he seems to hit the points that I was thinking should work through my reading on the LEDs...

lmao, you inspire me...

[allstarmx]

Yea dude my friend tried those led's i didn't like them at all well maybe if you have like a whole bunch of them but he paid like $50 for a 15watt and tried that and it was horrible. Like two weeks after that he switched to a 150hps and dammm....yea those shits are way to expensive and not enough light..get sum flouros they work better

[aqua23]

good luck! Whatever the result...let us know! I find this topic interesting!

Ha ha cool cool.

OK
I finally got my red lights in...
I still have not made the box for it, as it will need to be taller...
i went ahead and put one plant (the badly stretch one) and put it under it inside a trash can (till i make a box)
it veged very well in the time it was in the blue veg box... No signs of nute burn from the miracle grow soil...
I don't think I have watered in like 2 weeks... (surface of soil still damp)
anyways, mmy question now is, is there any nute or fertilizer that I should use for the flowering stage???
im pretty sure it would have to be in hella small doses due to the fact, that you never have to water these things...

i paid $35 shipped ea. for mine...
i have an all blue, for vegging... I have been using it.. and for being only 13.8 watts, and the fact that I have watched it veg nine seedling(after 3 weeks prolly have to cut down to 4)..
and $35. im impressed with them to this point to be honest with you..
i have been torturous to these things being experimental with my first grow... they still look healthy...
the blue has preformed well...

the red, we will see...
to be honest with you, they are no where near as bright as the blue was...
then again, its a whole different light spectrum.. its all about experimentation...
so ill stick out and see..

Hi there I've enjoyed reading your post so far, the uber-stealth grow ops are really fun for me to read about. Plus I'm intrigued by LED grows, you've got a double-point interesting grow!

The one thing that I would really focus on, it's been mentioned and linked to by Version 2, is some sort of carbon filter. As your plants continue to grow, they're ganna start smelling. This is ganna be a big enemy for you. I'm sure you're already working on this and planning it out, just something I wanted to mention again Also, if you can rig together even a couple small 80mm PC fans for the ventilation/carbon scrubber, the air motion will help strengthen the stems up too, acting like the wind in nature and all.

Again, this has been a fun grow for me to watch, keep up the stealth and pure LED action! I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out for you, best of luck!

EDIT: Just remembered, in addition to hydro stores, are there any nurseries or garden centers in your area? Sometimes these places are more likely to keep their soil indoors, greatly lessening the chance that you'll buy soil with bugs and stuff already in it. Check your yellow pages, hopefully there's a store like this around

i have had streap throat or something, so I still havn't built a budding box...

the plant under the red light seems to have some branch growth...
thats it so far...

however, another plant that is still in veg (however long its been, it was one of the first ones) is showing pre flowers... (is it common to pre flower this early??/ there are only 8-10 leafsets on the plant thats showing them)...

strain is unknown bag seed (not very good bag weed either lmao)

[SmknVTEC]

Oh yeah by 8-10 nodes they are about a foot tall and will flip balls or pistils all on their own.

[zpyro]

those are plants? they look like string with some wasabi on the end

[SmknVTEC]

Any recent pics?

My plants germinated on 11-4 and they started showing preflowers this week

And with bagseed, unless you know what strain it was and how it was grown, you don't know if it's shitty genetics or shitty growers. I'm experimenting with a bagseed I got with some super shitty dirt weed. Tons of seeds and stems so I'm suspecting it's the grower just half-assing it and letting them just grow with seeds n everything. I have it growing and I believe it's a female, so I will find out if it's any good in a few months
