Yep, looking good; I like the green so much better than the purple glow. You could just put a lamp in the grow room and turn off the LED for a minute instead of having to drag them outside though. It is up to you of course...

I still use HID and I'm NOT an LED expert. All of my LED knowledge is from other parties or research so I can't say from first hand experience one way or another. I also run a medical grow consulting business in SoCal.

Yes, I definitely agree! The results from this light is great! Jury still out when fruit sets in though.

Tomato plants are starting to have tiny fruit!:) Repotted the pepper plants and starting to see some flowering sites, this is getting good! The plants are just getting a half a teaspoon of bud and bloom. Pictures will be up today or tomorrow

Some more background information on equipment. I use normal fans inside the grow tent and have a 400 cfm inline fan. The 400cfm inline fan is from hydrofarm, and seems to keep my temps steady at 74 *f. I use a muffler to silence this fan, the muffler is easy to build. Any local hardware shop will have the duct work, the foam is on the Internet or a hobby shop. I'm on a timer set up, and it's set at 12 hours. For CO2, I just use bakers yeast, sugar, water, and a 1 gallon jug. I have two in place for all the plants. I run the Solarstorm 400w at night to solve my temp problems, everything else seems to go smoothly. I do some temporary maintenance and clean inside the tent, wipe dust off of the light and spray dust out of the lights heat sinks and fans. This clean up happens every two weeks.
