Heavyweight Auto - 300w LED Soil Grow

I read up on autos and seen a few journals with and without transplanting, seems autos don't like to be messed with during preveg, hurts the harvest. LEDs are cool man, whenever I open my tent for a quick peak, it turns into 20mins of me just sitting there and staring lol.. they're great for small tents in rooms without returns, no need to have dryer vent running all over since they give of less heat than CFLs and can compare to HID if you stack up on the wattage.. I probably have no idea what I'm talking about right now since I'm a little drunkers but yeah LEDs are awesome lol.. just watch out for knockoffs and try to get something that's full spectrum, or if you get something all white like A51, use T5s during veg to get some blue in there.

 

Day 30
 
So day 30 from seed and the LED panel from TopLED seems to be living up to my expectations.  It's a shame this strain is VERY sensitive to nutrients.  They both suffered from nute burn due to using FFOF, my next grow I'm going to run the same strain in Happy Frog with an additional panel.  I figured this would be a good test case to see how just one 300w panel performs from seed to harvest, I'm not expecting a good yield from this grow anyway since I'm guessing they're stunted from the hot soil. We'll see..
 
The one on the left seems to have recoverd and has already started to flower, it's nice and stinky in my tent .  The one on the right has gone from bad to worse, I don't think she's going to produce much in the way of dank budness.
 
Hopefully I'm wrong and they both grow out of this funk they're in, either way this has been an exiting ride so far with this new panel!
 

 

 

 

 

 
During seedlng stage, I kept it 3-5" from the soil line, since then I've been keeping it about 10" from the canopy.  I'd say don't go any lower than 10", you may actually want to keep it further if you are using CFLs in addition to LED.
 

 
With LED, your going to want to keep your canopy as level as possible with either LST or SCoG, LEDs can't penetrate as well as HID.  I've seen grows using two panels both on 45 degree angles which apparently increases penetration.  You should make the switch man, you won't regret it!!

 

 
I have the full spectrum model.  I was a little worried during veg because of all the red, but it worked well imo.
 

 
Autos are good anywhere man, I usually throw one or two in an empty area of my tent in a solo cup or something but I don't have 3+ mo for a photoperiod grow, moving soon and looking to fill my jars asap .
 

 
Idk dude you just have to give it a shot.  It's mostly trial and error, LEDs are an investment and you really have to do the research on spectrum, actual wattage and different diode manufacturers to make an informed decision. 
 
With somethig that short, I'd just use 2700k cfl.  90w ufos draw more like 50w so if anything use them as suppliment light.  I think height differential has more to do with 5w diodes giving off more lumens per watt than 3w, so you can keep panels with 3w diodes closer than those with 5w.
