Advice on organic LED grow

[Peaceandbud]

Hi guys
I'm new hear but been reading posts for a while. I'm a experienced grower with canna and hps and had great results. I've not grown for a couple years now and really miss it, I want to start again but with organic and led, I know the saying "if it's not broke don't fix it" but I haven't got the patience for 2 feeds a day and dealing with massive heat extraction any more. After a lot of research I'm contemplating biobizz soil and neuts with platinum led lights. Leds are what's scaring me the most I can't seem to get the kind of confirmation I need or seen results that give me peace of mind with a particular brand kind of the same with soil and neuts. Ive got a 2m x 2m room and I'm prepared to spend if I know it's gonna be worth it in the long run.
As anyone tried both bio bizz and platinum at the same time? Are leds even worth the time?

There are lots of LED brands to chose from and many different Nute systems as well. I can only speak from my experience. I run Mars-Hydro lights with Doc Budd's High Brix soil. When you are getting start with Doc's kit, it takes a month for your first batch of soil to "cook".

My flower tent is only 1mx1m but I am running a perpetual garden and harvesting 1 plant every 2 weeks or so. I get 3-4 oz average per plant.

now you've got me thinking lol that sounds like a great idea could easily split the room. What mars hydro are you using in flower if you don't mind me asking? I'm going to have a look at doc budds now thanks

My lights are all older (3 years old or so). My flower tent has a Mars 900 over the top and 2 old style 300s for side lighting. My veg tent (2ftx2ft) I have 2 mars 400s.

They have newer lights now that if I was in the market now, I would be looking at. Mars , Led grow light , Mars Hydro. There is also a whole thread run by Sara, the Mars-Hydro rep. You can ask questions here too. Mars-Hydro LED Grow Light Discussion

Thanks a lot for your info really helped. I never really bothered looking in to mars hydro as I seen a post a while back that made me believe they was bad quality but by you saying yours are 3 years old says a lot and there a hell of a lot cheaper then what I was looking at i will take a look now also another question (sorry to be a pest) with soil do u need much of a run off when feeding as I'm so used to coco I'm used to having a good run off

With Doc's kit, my girls all start in 1 gal smart pots. They will be upsized to 7 gal at roughly week six or so depending on space.

The 1 gal pots get approximately 1qt of drench and the 7 gal get between 1 and 2 gal depending on how thirsty they are (later flower, more water). They get drenched 1x per week and that holds them.
