This is not my first try at LED. I have used a pro grow 90 watt ufo before and I am still using it as we speek for my aerocloner. I cant wait to get my light back so I can rigorously test this light out. I am tired of using HID lighting becase I live in the dessert in the PNW. When I got the light I was so stoked when I turned it on. I mean it shocked me so much because I didnt think that it would be that bright. The folks here at CLW (California Light Works) really have a solid product. I mean this light is so bright that I was asked by the other forum I use to ask CLW to become a sponsor. I was also happy that when I got my light one of the squares blue diodes didn't work so I email George and he instantly sent me a shipping label to get it back to him to get the problem figured out. I just cant wait to see what the veg mode does cause I use t5 ho for my veg and if this light tares it up I am going to buy the Solarflare all spectrum for my new veg light and put that in my sqm tent with my 90 watt ufo and cloner. I will only be testing one genetic under the Solarstorm so that I can really compare the differance between HID and LED. I believe that this light is going to create better medicine for me. This is why I am so excited about getting this opportunity because LED in my opinion creates more potent meds then HID does but HID has that bigger footprint until now lol. Since I don't have a computer I am going to post text here and pictures and text at the other forum which is www.420magazine.com/forums. This is only because me phone wont let me go to this website so I use my PS3 to browse the internet. I will try to upload digital camera pictures but until I have free rain over a computer I have to use my phones 1.3 megapixel camera until I can get a pc. Also my thread at 420 is 800 watt led test grow and my name is the same. I use 5 gal buckets testing 9 under a 4 X 4 area and only going to use molasis trying to get rid of nutes and go back to my organic roots and the soil i use is Aurora Innovations Roots Organics.
Why don't you edit your post to include a link to your actual journal instead of another competing forum website? I mean at least if it was directly to your journal it would be better.
See lots of oddly similar posts about these lights yet no pictures...
Would be interesting to actually see some results.
I will be posting pictures up in a day or so just wanted to let everyone know how the light works for veg and it is amazing i got the light 2 feet above the cannopy in a square meter tent an all the way down to the soil the leaves are perkin up at a 45 degree angle has already surpassed my t5's already. I will get pics up either today or tomorrow
The SolarStorm should blow away those T5's, I'll check back in a few days to see the pictures...
Disclaimer: 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.
Sorry everyone im in the process of getting everything dialed in and i just got back from vacation hopefully I will be able to get pictures posted tomorrow sorry for the wait and yes the nodes are so much more compact so it is real nice and t5's have nothing on this light
well i am trying to upload pictures but i was not allowed to upload them off of my cell phone because the file sizes were way too big so when i get arount a computer i will upload all my veg pictures off of my digital camera and i have just freshly topped everything and transplanted and thry just got their first day of flowering as of today i have 5 16" tall plants that are in a sqm tent under my solar storm i have them in 5 gallon buckets and they were transplanted into recomposted roots organics soil and they got a fresh feeding of gh flora nova bloom and botanicare cal mag+ just to get the roots to start developing again so i will try to get these pictures up quickly i know i have been slacking but until i got my security built up i didnt really want to do too much with my new light cause i was afraid that thry would try to break in again but everything is up and running now and i will be updating alot more now but i will try to get these pictures up as soon as possible and i had this up on another forum but they shut down my thread because they wont let anyone do a test grow on their forum unless they are a sponsor so i have to get to a computer so i can upload these picture for you guys sorry about this long wait and there is no punctuation cause i am using my cell phone and not a computer
Sorry that this took so long. They are in a sqm tent right now going to finish off the rest of their lives in there with the led there is 5 bubba 76's in there so enjoy i will try to keep steady pictures coming from now on.

They are looking great bro. Have you considered giving them a bit of a LST? Not that your not doing a fabulous job, but the more light you get the bottoms, the more "good" bud you'll get. h
yeah i thought about it but since i started growing my own meds about 2 years ago i found out i like topping a little more i just dont like bending them i am still testing this genetic out even though it produces like a champ under my hids i still havent just had this one genetic fully tested under a sqm yet thats why i am doing this in the tent cause i am also a caregiver for my roomate its his house and we had a little bad luck 2 times at the end of last year but i will do a little lst for you guys when i crack my og this is just potent genetic that i want to see production of cause last harvest i had wet colas the size of my head and i will post those up today since i have free rain over a computer now i can actually upload pictures now but i will lst under the hids for you guys and i havent even got into opening the cannopy up yet since im in the stretch phase right now
