Ty Griz, it has been a question in my mind. The female should be mature, probably alternating internodes already, and this method just makes more sense. I don't consider myself to be an expert by any means and would love to hear some input.

I have a question about sexing methods. What I am wondering is whether it is ok to let the potential moms get 2 months old and then lower their light cycle to 12/12 for a week to induce flowering and sexing and then revert them back to veg once the sex is determined? Will using this method...

Exactly! A much more well spoken way of what I mentioned earlier. The tight focus led's would cause light coverage overlap issues with the wide light footprint of the induction. A wider focus led is interesting though, didn't think of that!

Looking forward to the test grow definitely be there. How much is the addition of leds going to cost, do you know yet? That is going to be a deciding factor as well as light coverage overlap. Little by little the price of led's are going down and the quality is going up so you actually have an...

LOL, that's true! I like horses but I wouldn't want to ride them every day. It's just that making the system better is important but if it works somewhat comparable to hps then I am happy. I was thinking about this post last night and was wonder why not get a 300w (instead of the 500w I...

As near as I can tell the HPS systems are difficient in those wavelengths also and yet they work well. What effect does losing those wavelengths of light do to the grow? The video I listed looked great with the 2700k, so how does it compare with an HPS? Sometimes "The Best and Greatest!!!" is...

2700k. Here is a grow using a 200w in 2700k with The Other Tomato nutes. Just remember that is in the flowering color range, unlike the 5000k range like the purple ones for good vegging. YouTube - Inductiongrow Also, here is the only site I found that had both the best price and the best...

Hi Wheelo, I have been following your post on this garden system for edu purposes just in case my state goes medical (next month I hope and pray) and your musings on the lighting made me post for the first time. Mad props for you and Maxximus btw, great enough post to make me stick my head out...
