    I have a Grow box that is:

    -3ft. tall x 2ft. wide
    -225 Hydroponics LED panel
    -250 Watt Heat Lamp (Box is Outside)
    -70 Watt CFL
    -Reflective Insulation
    -(2) 120mm Fans
    -Timer
    -Thermometer

    Just wondering if this box is sufficient enough for a decent yield and if there is anything else I should add to it. Also, another question I had is that sometimes the box can get up to 85-90 degrees, is that O.K. for the plants? If not, what are the signs that they are getting too much heat or light?
    Here is a video of the box: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3YahiLyajI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3YahiLyajI[/ame]
     
  2. I haven't had much success with LED's though some people swear by them. Is the 70W CFL actually 70W or a 70W replacement, which is actually just 15w? I'd ditch the LED panel for a few 42W (150w replacement) CFL lights.
    You will probably only have room for 1 or 2 plants max in that space and you should look into low stress training and topping them to conserve vertical space
    As far as temp is concerned, 85-90 seems a bit too hot. If they get too hot they will dry out and get heat stressed. I'd shoot to have the temp at about 75-80 during the "daylight" hours and let it cool off during the dark cycle.
    Hope this helps
     
  3. I think you'll need a magical bud fairy that produces magic bud plants that like LED lights.

    Killeravocado... You obviously don't know what the hell your talking about beacuse LED's are proven to work and was discovered by NASA to grow plants! They just have to be the right balance of blue and red lights and of the correct power and spectrum. Check Youtube and Google it... Do your homework before you comment bullshit on other peoples posts. This is a place for help... not fags like you with asshole replies.

    By the way... Thanks Barnaby for the great reply!
     
  5. Here is some pics of my plants at 6 Days old so you guys can see the setup! How long should I wait before LST or topping?

  6. Harsh man. I was just kiddin around! You didn't have to get NASA involved!

    You're set up and ideas look good and are sound. I've just not seen many grows were LEDs worked well, without spending a fortune. I have done my homework and i'm not an idiot. Just tryin to get a rise out of you, which apparently worked!
     
  7. I just watched your vid and I'm really not trying to talk crap or anything, but it looks like the little ones are stretching they're stalks off. But hey, I've never grown using LED so maybe the pot plans are suppose to stretch under LED.
     
  8. Thanks for the help Killeravocado... I have added a 300Watt CFL to the box about 2 inches above the plants... They were stretching quite a bit, but I'm going to Low Stress Train soon anyway. Happy Growing!
     
  9. So how is it coming along?
     
  10. Here's an update...
