How about fast and vigorous growing plants comparing to cfl ?Do you see any differences?

I'm always impressed when I poke my head into this thread and always surprised when I see perlite in your soil. I don't even include it in my 25 litre tubs. Still, you clearly know your setup so I won't preach

I usually run her 63 days but this round she's gonna go 70.

From what I can see, it's the same rate. The big difference is the temps and wattage.

Most all the heat given off by the lights is in the brown base part. The LEDs themselves aren't really putting off heat (maybe they're hot if you touch the actual LED surface while they're on, but I haven't done that nor am I going to lol).

Overall the cab is a lot cooler than the CFL scrog cab.

This cab is basically the same size as my CFL scrog cab but it's running at almost half the wattage. The CFL scrog cab has 172w of CFL. This cab is currently running 90w.

The CFL scrog cab yields have been from 30g to 92g and that's mostly strain dependent. The 30g run was a very low yielding strain even when run under HID. The 92g was about two ounces of buds and another ounce of larf.

The average over all the runs so far is 62g. Strain-wise, the yields have been really consistent. I have run C99 x Shire in this cab the most and the average for all those runs have been around that 62g average.

If I get two oz this round from 90w with no veg time in the cab, I will be more than happy.

Do you have a link to your LED cab? I would love to subscribe.

No I don't have a separate thread. The new LED cab posts start at post #1686 a couple pages back.

I did just start this off the shelf retail LED/CFL bulb comparison thread.

Looks like Iv'e been slacking. I'll go back.

the leds seem to work better than i thought they would , looking good

Welcome back! So I was just refreshing myself through your thread and you say it over and over again but seriously? Your soil mix is 0 nutrients, except for the Biotone? And you don't do any AACTs or anything? And yet you clearly get quality, and lots of it.

Nice. Looks like these lights are hitting the mark.
.

If I ever set up another grow I would give these a whirl.

Have you noticed a lot of heat output difference between these and the CFL's?

Terpene · Nov 3, 2015

Based on those pics, I'm gonna go ahead and wager you're getting ready to repurpose all of your CFLs for around the house lighting... :tiphat:

shawkmon · Nov 11, 2015

The right side of the canopy is getting heavy and starting to droop down a little.

GG4 has a nice harvest window. I usually chop her at 63 days but I will be running it 70 days in this cab. I like to do a base run of 70 days in these micro cabs. I can always shorten the flowering time on future runs if 70 is too long.

MicroRoy · Nov 13, 2015

Looks like it's filling in nicley.

genetic freaked · Nov 13, 2015

Killing it Blynx!!
Anyway you can take a closer pic of the buds with a lighter or something for reference?
I know GG4 is no slouch in the yield department and those buds are looking full..

Anything you would change for the next LED grow? Extra light? How do you compare these to your CFL grows? Is it LED from here forward for your micro grows?

I was looking back and forth between your LED and CFL grow but pics are hard to tell.. Looks like your getting better buds from the LEDs
