VIVA LAS VEGAS! Procyon 100 LED grow test

[Dr. 215]

I was really pulling for the LED in flowering but it looks like its not gunna happen. Oh well, they still look really happy! I cant wait for nice fat buds to form on these ladies!

[dagobaker]

im about 6 weeks into led (ufo led) flowering and they look good
the buds arent as fat as hps but look pretty good so far

[Harry Red]

The plants that were vegged under the LED look great, as do the others. I can't wait to see 'em stretch and bud.

They're gonna be good ol' big 'uns!!

Thanks guys..... Well, I am hoping that the BG and DW will end up 4-5 feet by the time that they finish. I have a feeling that the G-13 will be a shorty maybe low 30" area. I have a feeling that the BG is going to be moved to the HID but I think we will give it a few more days to show us that it is worth keeping it under there, plus I need it to start vegging the next grow.. I really want to keep it under there but I am not seeing the results I was hoping that it might show. The two ladies were transplanted into six gallon pots yesterday, the roots were way jammed into the 3 gallon so I am sure that both will be happy that they have some more growing room..
So, what would you do if you were me, try and keep the BG under the LED or call it good and move under the HID?

Hi Irie
I love following your grow. You have helped me more on led design than I can say. The 300w led panel I will build after the holidays are over will be using some of your data.
Thanx

Thanks Pan, I hope you get those things figured out for flowering. I really am impressed with the plants that were vegged under it, and look forward to seeing how some other strains do under it. I would love to see a grow journal with one of the 300 watters all the way through to harvest. Dago running two ufo's 180 watts. Dago, will you put up a pic here of your ladies??? I would like to have a peek..I honestly think that the only way to get the results I am looking for would be to use it along with other lights. I still think it was worth the money, it has helped big time on heat issues, less power consumption, and I felt safer knowing that was running 24/7 instead of the HIDS...

PS holy shit LEDS are being sold all over the place... I couldn't believe how they have flooded e-bay and all the other sites.. Guys and gals, research before you buy, there is alot of BS advertising going on, and there are some shitty LED lights out there...

Pan, you are doing a great job showing and documenting your LED adventure... Keep up the good work.. This is exciting technology and hopefully the kinks will get worked out..

[Be IRIE]

Well, all is going well The DW is still out stretching the rest, The Bg is coming along too.. They both have little nuggies starting to form... I am hoping they will both double in size. The BG is still under the LED.. Here they are @ bedtime. Day 11 for the DW&BG and day 14 G13

BG is front right, G-13 back right, DW is back left..

[Harry Red]

Wow!! Those look super healthy, as always.

I can't wait to see the ladies start puttin' on bud. This is gonna be good.

Well, daddy's new toy should be here today( hurry up fed-x man). I am waiting for my 600 watter to show up. The flower room needed a lille extra boost. So now I have two-400 hps/mh and a 600 HPS, oh yeah and the Proycon.. My next grow is in the papertowels as I type. That should give them a solid 60 days of veg atleast. Now I gotta figure out what the hell I am going to do with all these lights... Damn, we need a bigger place!!!

[Be IRIE]

OK, got the 600 in the flower room and running smoothly.. Wow, these new ballasts are sweet.. The start up is so smooth and no damn humming.... One 400 is in place but not running yet, going to wait a few weeks before it gets fired up. So that leaves me with an extra 400 just in case something happens.. The ladies are doing good, the DW is coming up on 30" quickly, the BG is still taking her time under the LED but looks good.

The DW (left) and BG (right) day 13


The tops of both plants BG first then DW


The G-13 on day 16 of 12/12



I think they are liking all the new lumen's.

[Be IRIE]

One more pic.. the g-13 close up.. day 16

[Dr. 215]

Wow that G- 13 looks super frosty already. Ugh i really wanna see how the LED turns out i still cant decide to go with that or an HPS. What would you suggest IRIE?

[Be IRIE]

I would say that if you had an hps for flowering and were looking for a veg light then I would recommend the Procyon.. If you are looking for a flowering or full grow light, then it would be the hps....The Led is flowering the BG but it is at a very slow rate.. This is going to affect yield and length of flowering time.. I almost yanked the BG from the led today and put it under the HPS..

[Dr. 215]

Gracias. I think im gunna go with the HPS. Your babies look super healthy by the way.

[BubbaKush]

wow that looks nice. on thier way fo sho.
