I'm contemplating taking the plunge on a 400-500 W LED System from BlackStar. What do you guys think? How do LEDs compare to T5s compared to HPS? I know HPS will blow the water out of T5s in terms of bud density and yield. Where do LEDs fit into that picture, the high-end LEDs like blackstar can produce as much as an HPS?

Hi dictate,
Good thread, great plants & excellent sign off...

Have not purchased the LED panel yet, but hopefully in the next few days. But here's an update with pics.
I've been following the "Masters Feeding Schedule" of the Aurora Line. Been using Buddha Grow, Trinity, and CalMag. I'm doing feedings every other watering (~once a week). Last week i fed them 3 ML, no visible signs of nute burn besides the little i accidently poured on the leaves. This week i fed them 5 ML Buddha Grow, 5 ML Trinity, 3ml Cal Mag. They are in early week 4 and I can probably feed them 1 more time with buddha grow, then will flush and prepare for flowering nutes.
I have 6 total 54 watt bulbs - swapped 2 out with 3000k. So now I have 4 6500k and 2 3000k, next week I will have an even 50/50 ratio of 6500 and 3500 and will plan on going into flowering with this.
Now on to the pics
Blimburn AK Auto - Week 4 Day 3: Looks like she's blowing the F up!
G13 Diesel Auto - Week 4 Day 3: She's almost as big as the blimburn. Can anyone tell if these guys are done with preflower and into full on flower yet?
Dinafem White Widow Auto - Week 4 Day 3: Still the runt of all my plants, but she's coming along.
WoS Kush Ryder Plant 1 - Week 4 Day 1: Smaller of the two Kush Ryders, but not by much. The KRs are really starting to pick up. They're suppose to be indica dominant, but do I have a different phenotype? The leaves aren't as big as most indica dom leaves.
WoS Kush Ryder Plant 2 - Week 4 Day 1: The bigger of the two kush Ryders. Do you guys think I'll get 1 oz dried off these?
Positronics Blue Rhino Photo - Week 2 Day 5: I Fimmed this bad boy yesterday and just watered today. Will start feeding nutes next week.

Not much going on in here, but wanted to throw a quick update. Got my 500w Blackstar Bloom LED light yesterday. I removed the Tek 4 PL-L from the setup (will probably use it for a seperate mother room potentially). So as of now, my light setup is:
I had some yellowing appear on larger fan leaves towards the bottom on the G13 Diesel, there were no burnt tips. I'm also getting clawing at the top. So it is potentially 2 issues, 1 PH issue (which I don't think it is, as they were around 6.4 -6.7 on my last watering) or a lack of nitrogen. I foliar sprayed the affected areas and will see what turns up (3ml buddha grow and trinity).
I will post pics of my setup, as well as pics of the plants tomorrow morning
- 1 85 w CFL 2700k 4800 Lumen (over the photo)
- 1 Tek 2 PL-L 110w 10k Lumen T5 Light (Side lighting
- 1 Blackstar 500 w Led at around 20 inches distance from the tallest plant, so potentially 24 inches from the other smaller plants.

Thanks!!!
Do you happen to have a pic of your AK auto currently? I tried to find it in your journal, but it looks like a sea of green in there
here she is but I will take one of her alone Monday for you and it will be in my journal just don't want to take it out right now it will take a while lol and im moving to a larger room Monday... there is s sharpie marker in the top cola area to compare size. It has been blooming almost 2 weeks starting to fill now but again I will get you a better pic mondayI don't want a sog lol that's why I'm moving them. did not expect them to get so big and I want them spread out a lot more so the bottoms don't die off so bad. It is so think even the 1000 watt can't penetrate very good
