LED Gardening by TheDude
Hello gardeners! Love and light! Thats how your garden grows. This is the first video documenting a full grow cycle for 4 tomato plants in a grow chamber light strictly through the use of high powered LED lights. My primary lamp is a Procyon 100 (400watt equivalent) which includes red~635nm peak and blue~450nm peak wavelength LEDs. It consumes aprox 100 watts and generates far less heat than conventional high pressure sodium or metal halide lamps. In the future i plan to use water cooling on its heat sink and embed the tubing beneth my seedling soil bed to help induce root growth and keep the chamber cooler. For flowering I am using a custom built high flux red 640nm LED lamp that i am going to be pulsing at 292 hz (Nogier Frequency - read here http://www.cheeenergy.com/about.htm#top and here http://www.esmhome.org/library/led.html). In my chamber I hope to provide some proof to illustrate how a plant's phytochrome Pr and Pfr levels can be controlled to produce fruits and vegetables through the management of the red and infrared spectrum. In short order i intend to install an aeroponic feeding system whereby the roots hang inside buckets and are continuously feed by a hydrolic system from a tank of organic nutrient tea. I hope to keep 4 tomato plants inside for an entire grow cycle and then weigh the total production against 4 tomato plants that have been grown in my outdoor garden. Wish me luck.
