L.E.D. 1st Grow
Hi this is my 1st grow. I'm using 12"x12" led panel, bubble bucket hydro system, General Hydroponics-micro,gro, and bloom nutes. The plants are a Cali Hash Plant and a Purple Lady from the Tude. They are about a week old. Here are some pics:

Re: L.E.D. 1st Grow
Thanks for the help man. Like I said it's my first time. I'm sorry but what do you mean by cfl's? Flourescents? They did grow very fast.

Need to watch some of the grow journals on LED. Keep your lights as close as possible if they do not put out heat, mine does not so they can touch them if I wanted to but I have them about 2 inches away.

Re: L.E.D. 1st Grow
Wow, I thought if I put the led panel that close they grow even taller or faster. What does ya'll mean by stretching, is that bad? I'll try putting the light closer anyway because I'm new to this for sure. Thanks Bro.

stretching is just when the plant doesn't get enough light it'll grow up higher until it gets what it needs, moving the light closer will often reduce stretching.

If the shoots get lanky, stretched, they won't support the weight of the plant properly.

You really need a small fan around so the plants move a little in the breeze to strengthen them. You can use small canes and tie them for a while for support if you have to a little later on.

Re: L.E.D. 1st Grow
What light are you using? Secondly, stretching means the plant is "looking" for light, so you want to put the unit closer, it's not a HID, you can go fairly close, I think 8 inches or so. Even if the light is a cheaper model(looks like the same ones my friend bought) , those plants should be looking better than that(friend uses for veg, they look AWESOME) , as said before, 24 hrs of light is what you are after.
