400 W Solarstorm
by wrice3 » Fri Sep 21, 2012 1:13 pm
I am using a 400W Solarstorm to grow lettuce in an aeroponic system (pics below). The first thing I noticed about the Solarstorm was how much the light looks like regular sunlight, compared to my other 125W LED that has more red light. I started some lettuce from seed and then transferred some seedlings to the aeroponics. The seedlings have been growing about 10 days. I have noticed the plants are not "leggy" like they were with the 125W LED. I was also growing some basil that had gotten "leggy" and laid over. That plant starting growing from the side of the plant under the Solarstorm which was interesting and will provide a lot more basil

I have some lettuce starting in my Aerogarden right now. It'll be cool to watch how your actual aeroponic system stacks up.
Can't wait for an update!
