Greetings buds
Here is the start to my journey with LED grow lights. Best part about it i get the pleasure to test one of Platinum's p300 series lights. My first attempt will start with the seedlings of the jalapeno's that i have been working on for a year now. As i stated in my intro i am choosing to do this for a few reasons. One i have never grown with LED before and its time to learn, two i want to start with a plant that can take punishment if i have issues learning and i cant take wrecking some of my gals, three i want to give Mark and the platinum team another perspective of growing with their kick ass LED lights, that way they can, use the photos if they want to, hit a complete other market with their product.
So let me start with what is going on.
Tent is a 3x3x3
Medium is black gold organic
Fox Farm Grow Big and Tiger Bloom
Light is p300 LED
subjects are second generation Jalapeno that will be crossed to a second generation Tabasco that i selected for the cross.
The subjects are 6-7 in tall in height and were started under HO CFL lights. They are about 30 days or less above soil and they will be selected from this by response to the light. The idea here is to show the response of the plants to the light for growth. Then once i take the selections of the strongest most responsive plants they will go to bloom in this area to show the power of the bloom side of the lights.
I know this isnt typical items grown here, but stay with me. I want to make sure i understand the tech as well as get them to the best potential that they can be and then i will introduce the WJ and BD to the mox once these are in flower and i have my strongest peppers in there.
On to the pics.
Open box, great packaging and stealth shipment. no idea what this was as far as outside world.

Again big shout out to Mark and @PlatinumLEDTom for getting this gear on site.
