I don't think digital pH meters are cheap anywhere. You can get a crap soil pH tester by Rapi Test at hardware stores and nursery's. You can also get the hydro pH tester cheap at the same places. Otherwise, for best accuracy, go for digital pH and PPM meters here: http://www.insidesun.com/index.php/a...0/id/7/subid// Your plants look nice. Obviously not grown under LED alone. I don't think LED would be capable of that unless the highest wattage bulb is used and there are a shit load of them.

Thanks VTEC..The crap soil tester is what i have now..what a fickle peice of shit it is..I shall save up and get the digi you suggested. Yes there is no way this plant was flowered under all LED'S, esp the ones that i have. They did however help to develop the buds down at the bottom. I read a thread on digg where a kid said that the traffic lights are not quite the correct spectrum. He didn't elaborate on their particular spectrum, i dont know if he's full of shit or not, but if he is right, that would explain alot of the problems i had. If i find out this is in fact true, do you think when i re-wire them with the amber and far red that there is any point in using them at all or just start over with brighter ones that i know are in the exact spectrum? I didnt spend alot on them, but i hate waste and don't know what else to do with them.. How is your arm dude? |

I am very intreged with the concept of growing with LEDs. Heat was a problem for me before so i was thinking about getting this starter kit: http://www.ledgrowlights.com/sales_retail.htm Someone mentioned before that these arent as strong? Is it still worth getting and can i just run the full light spectrum for all stages of growth?  |

I have yet to see a grow completed only under these LED's. I think they might not be right for some reason. If you have the dough to experiment, please do so.

good luck to you VTEC i had to give the camera i borrowed back to my buddy for a trip he's going on, that's why there's no pics.. I harvested Betty yesterday, i got 4 huge colas off her, besides a few side branches. They are the biggest colas i have produced yet from this strain. Her first two weeks in flower were under all led and the last 6 under HPS and LED.  | |

I think I will start a new LED thread when the time comes. That way you don't have to go through 10 pages of info to see what's going on. Any objections to this or should I just keep this thread? I am, not ready to grow under the LED's yet but, when the seeds I am germinating bear a mother, I will clone her and get them under the LED's.

... I think a new thread for your LED experiment when you are ready is a fine idea. I can't wait to see how it comes out. Happy New Year everyone | |

High guru and VTEC! This has sparked my interest. The electric cost is an obvious factor. But what about heat output? Im guessing is lower, right? will the boards have to be right up next to the plant to be effective? ***gears start turning in TBug's head as he fades to dream vission*** I see an entire wall full of LEDs. Amongst the lights, several MJ plants spread out accrosed it. Growing more like a vine or ivey than a normal plant...That would be cool! Peace, TBug
