its a 90W rectangular grow light from growlLED. So far its working out nicely...I actually managed to burn some pereskiopsis cuttings in my grow tent before i started this project. I will keep a log of pictures as it progresses and probably start a grow log...keep in mind that i have no idea whether this is name brand genetics or just mid-grade bagseed...looks like an indica of some sort...which would explain the squat growth habit...
I feel as though LED grow lights work pretty well. Apparently a 90W system is good for somewhere around 10-15 sq ft of grow area...so i may try a SOG with some name-brand genetics in the fall.

well, as promised, this is my two week update...These pictures were taken after 2 weeks of nothing but light...24/0 with no water or nutrient supplementation, but i do have bone meal and blood meal and worm castings mixed into the soil...it was actually touching the light when i first checked on it...and so the top leaves are a little scorched...i decided to add some more light to the tent area...so i installed 2 CFL's, 60W a piece, 300w equivilent light output, or 3900 lumens per light...both in the 2700K color temp. The ambient temp inside the tent is 80F...and i am using Fox Farm's Big Bloom with ample watering...I did noticed some discoloration of the leaves...and was wondering what might be causing this? Any advice would be awesome
this thing is incredibly short and busy...its only 6 inches tall, is working on its 10th node currently...and its main stem is over a half inch thick...and it already smells pretty pungent
here are some of the worst examples of the leaf discoloration, I feel like its due to lack of water, but i want to make sure its not a probly with nutes...or too much light...I lowered the plant away from the light enough for a 2x to 2.5x increase in overall height during the flowering period.
And for the curious people:
this is what the plant looks like under both white light and the Red/blue LED's, its my favorite pic
updates in another 2 weeks...feel free to offer suggestions peace agmotes165

Looks like some nitrogen def. in the leaves if I'm not mistaken....But yeah definatly back the lights off a little cuz of the burning on the top.
