Homemade Light Test updated May 26, 2008 Conclusion!  Procyon 100 Test  May 8, 2008 SuperLED LightBlaze 400 Preview
What's on this site: Experiments building small hydroponic and aeroponic grow chambers. Building and finding LED lighting. Growing Media. Using liquid nutrients, additives and foliant sprays. PH and EC/PPM testing. Good and bad results from my growing attempts. Anything else pertaining to this very intriguing science and hobby.
Growing with LED lighting is new. Is it as good or better than other lighting? My research has turned up many conflicting results. Chlorophyl studies, Photon density and flux, and biological studies are numerous. I thought why keep reading about it and give it a try. The only way to see if something works is to do it. See the results for yourself here.
I'm not an expert. Products you see on the site were chosen from research, answers to my questions from some good people on forums, emails, posted messages, and some advice on nutrient solutions, test equipment and lots of other things from Tom at Liquid Sun.
Photos and updates as the experiments progress will be added periodically. Photos taken using a Canon EOS Rebel digital camera. Comments, questions, suggestions and advise are most welcome at any time in the Message Post. You can also reach me by email: sfortier@comcast.net.
