I got 8 of these, and honestly in rate of growth and everything so far I haven't really noticed any difference from the 600 watt hps lights but they run so much cooler which is why I got them. Like I said though first run with them been going 3 weeks or so now.

I will add that company has amazing customer service, one of my units malfunctioned the cooling fan wasn't running so it overheated and shut itself off. I emailed the company said what had happened they replied that sounds like it got too hot it has an auto shutoff in it. They sent one out the next day with a return sticker for the other one. Didn't have to send it back first or anything so thumbs up from this guy.

Awesome. The price ain't bad. And it doesn't have that pink/purple look eh? You can actually photograph under those lights!

225w Power consumption and meant to replace a 600w! That's what I'm talkin bout. To me, less power consumption and less heat = MORE BUD! More lights and less A/C.

What kind of footprint does one of those effectively illuminate?

Yeah it is a pretty white light maybe just a touch of orange or red in it but pretty natural looking really. I think replacing a 600 watt hps is a slight exaggeration but they put out a lot of light that's for sure. I try to keep them about 18 inches above the plants. The scrog is 16 feet by 32 inches and I have 8 of them and I don't think I could have covered any bigger area so my guess on effective footprint is 24x32 inches.

I was already planning on buying 8 within a week or so when they ran a 20% off sale on Black Friday so I bought all 8 at once and saved a good chunk of change which was nice.

Thank you sir that is a new grow I just built within the last couple months really nice to be able to go through 50 seeds at once. Big difference from my personal grow just 2 600 watters and a small veg room took me 2 years to pop that many seeds if I also wanted to keep clones of the best ones.

So just about 42 sq feet and you are using approximately 1800w. That's a good bit more efficient than my 1800w(3x600w) hps illuminating a 32 sq foot area(4'x8') although I believe I could effective get 4 more sq ft.

And then considering lifespan of the bulbs, some improved heat transfer efficiency and the need for less A/C... damn. Sounds great. Can't wait to see your buds. I'm sure they'll be fine I have seen plenty of LED grows with great looking buds. I wish I had a few G notes to pick up 8 of those!

Al Yamoni what kind of LED panel you rockin? I'm very interested in led technology, thinking of starting to add LED's into my grow instead of more HID's.

It's a blackstar chrome 405w. Don't buy one. It's nice enough, but its not efficient and built like shit. I just built one that I need to hang after I chop a plant that's in my way. Should be any day now. It's way brighter and uses almost half the wattage.

I feel you on the price really had to convince myself LED was worth it to drop several thousand setting up a grow room but shit this is my favorite hobby what better way to spend money.

I have a few of those phenos myself but these are being really finicky with the Chem 3. Trying to nurse these back. Gonna have to repot with some fresh soil and go from there

Wouldn't that depend on how the individual plants look/smell/grow? I wouldn't keep one over the other based solely on lineage.

Thats kinda obvious. I was looking for comments from ppl who had grown both out as I havnt. Have you grown either? There are so many great genetics inside one Bodhi seed its a real crap shoot on picking a male and I figured this might be a good place to ask.

It's just not possible to answer.. I mean the best of "A" is better than the worst of "B" and vice versa ya dig?.. It's like "would you rather have sex with a black chick or a white chick??" and for me the answer would always be "the sexy one please" (I know there are plenty of racist fugs who feel one way or the other, but if you're not an ignorant racist fug I think you can feel me).
