LED Hempy Bucket Screen Of Green - Tribals First Attempt Using LED

[TribalTrance]

Update: Second week since flip first week of full bloom. She is getting bigger and developing nice little buds. I have put the small indica in flower tent as started to out grow the clone tent. All is going well and added some monsta bud nute with my general nutes. It has some nice additives to help develop the buds. I will see how this goes the 2 plants will take all the space nicely.

Update: All has been going well. I have been pushing the monsta bud nutes a little hard to see how they take them. The small indica is almost 6 days into 12/12 and getting bigger. I gave her a little flush of water as I just see some nute burn appearing on 2 leaves. The skunk 1 that has been in flower for 3 weeks since 12/12 but 2 weeks full bloom and has 10 main buds growing. The buds are getting bigger and starting to join up the stems. Gave a little flush of water with a little nitro & mag, as some older leaves getting a little pale. They are starting to get frosty on top and starting to smell sweet. The clones are getting bigger and may need to cut and re-cloned again, as I don't have room in the flowering tent atm.

Question, how close can you get your led panel to your plant without burning or bleaching?

In this pic it was too close. I spent way too much time in veg under led and had to use cfls for more 6400k spec light before getting the cheap T5. That T5 was the best money I spent and as you an see above all my clones are growing well. The led will keep the internodes close together but cfls will have the same effect if close to plant. I have 3 x 130 watt cfls 1 being dual spec 2700k/6400k and 2 2700k combo totalling 390watt cfl and 180watt (300watt) led in that small flowering tent. The led is doing a wonderful job of stopping the internodes from stretching and low heat above the buds. The top of my plant would now be around 9 inches from my led and no bleaching. The buds are loving the led and so far happy with the results. Cfls and led go well together and my power bill so far is quite low.

Update: 4 weeks since 12/12 flip and 3 weeks full bloom for my northern lights skunk. The smell is not strong due to carbon filter but once you rub your finger around her she smells and tastes real sweet. Even got a bit of a buzz from doing this. My other pain in the ass small indica is showing some signs of a potassium k nutrient deficiency with some lower leaves yellow showing black spots and bud development has slowed. Have given her her a flush and today back with nutes with a little lower PH. Two of my northern lights skunk clones reached my light in the clone tent so I jammed them in my flowering tent.
