Since I am hellbent determined to make LED's work for growing I decided to pit two different ones against each other.

They are both 12" x 12" panels, one of them is all blue while the other is blue and red. The catch here is the all blue panel is 12 volt and the red/blue panel is 24 volts with substantially larger LED's.

They both have very identical space, both plants are Bubbledust from GDS (the only difference is about a 18 hour age difference), both goiin on the same 18/6 schedule and I will attempt to water than identically (the 24v LED may require more waterings as it runs warmer.

Cabinet #1 & plant

Cabinet #2 & plant

Any input, guidance or suggestions to maximize the plant potential will B heeded; I am all to new at this but have the time and desire to dabble.

I'll keep y'all posted on how it progresses.

ps: This plant is from a donor seed and has been living under a 12 x 12 blue LED panel since day one about two weeks ago. It is still pretty small as I think I iver nurtured it with water... drying it out as we speak!
