Chemist77 315 watt CDL grow

[borbor]

Hey dude plants look amazing, really makes me want to try a flood&drain, I love how like two inches up from the rockwool it's already solid bud on so many of em. that purple looks awesome.
one thing-I'm not sure if this happens to other people but for me it's next to impossible to read a thread when there's something like 50 images in 4k all full size in all the posts, if you put some of them in thumbnails, I can scroll through your thread, so I'll be in here a lot more often!

the purple may look good, but very small buds, very little to no crystals, buds are more leaf and calyx with very few hairs.. she is gone.. didnt bother taking any clones, a waste of light in my opinion..ive searched for a purple for so long,,finally get purple and its so disappointing..oh out of the 2 purples 1 threw nanners at 6 weeks into flower, the other just not worth the time..
the big bomb and topp 44's however look good both will produce good, the bomb being the winner tho..
put 9 reg seeds in paper towels, 5 misty,2 avalon, 2 ak48, 1 incredible bulk fem..only 5 of ten popped so far 3 misty,2 ak48...hope the rest pop and hope to get a few killer moms..i only have the 1 fem of incredible bulk so she had better come up!!!!

Every purple I've ever run, color or name, was bullshit.

Other strains that change color due to environmental conditions are excepted.

damn, unfortunate. I wish I could give you cuttings of mine!

Last pics time to pull! I'll post weights when dry. Sorry about picture quality I tried something new with the magnifying glass. Hope you guys like it.

day 1 bloom under 1,000 watt hps... all plants have 2 weeks of veg. under mh.

Plantmax is the brand I ran when I ran HPS thouies. I'm very interested in your comparative runs.

 

[TheChemist77]

I've really been waiting to see how the 1K HPS will compare to the 945 CMH!! 56 days to finish this run. I think this is my last run under HPS. Any comments appreciated. I hate taking pictures under the HPS!!

What sized spaces?

If you could match the ppfd it'd be a more even comparison!

 

[TheChemist77]

From what I've seen so far, I think that three 315W LEC lights would be roughly equivalent to two 600W HPS lamps. That's better spectrum and 25% more output. Nice!

I THINK YOUR WRIGHT!!!!

RESULTS ARE IN!!!!
30 PLANTS UNDER 945 WATTS CMH
26 T.H. seeds bubble gum= 1014 grams dry weight,, average plant=39grams per plant.
4 next generation island sweet skunk=112 grams dry weight,,average yield per plant=28 grams

TOTAL YIELD=1126 GRAMS DRY WEIGHT.. GRAMS PER WATT=1.19 GPW

BUT WEIGHT,,,I also had 4 plants in 5 gallon dwc buckets on the left side of the 4x6 table..these plants only recieved indirect lighting from the 945watts cmh lamps,, 3 of the 4 are finished,,dry and weighed...1 green house super bud still in flower,almost done.
1 bomb big bomb= 46 grams
1 homegrown fantaseed viking=41 grams
1 homegrown fantaseed top44=26 grams
3 plant weight total=113

1126 + 113= 1239 total yield under 945 watts...
BRINGS THE GRAM PER WATT TOTAL UP TO
1.31 GPW

I think that 3 315 watt cmh lamps is equivilant to or better than 2 600 watt hps...also the 3 315's in line over the 4x6 ft table easily created a good coverage over the 5 gallon dwc buckets to the left of the table so actual coverage 2ft above canopy was more like 6ftx6ft.. the super bud plant has a week left but is now recieving only indirect lighting from the 1k hps..ill post the dry weight of it when done...any thoughts, any input, any comments very welocome!!!!

945 watts or 3 315 watt cmh = 1.3 GPW total,,, cmh = better gpw than HPS,,in my opinion...

Very nice weights, nice grow! Having those plants on the side shows how much those LEC spread the footprint. Obviously density had to be decent to get that weight. Looking forward to seeing what the 1000w does. What's your take on the quality compared to previous grows?

buds seem to be denser, closer nodes, shorter stockier plants and crystal production is way better under cmh.. i highly doubt the 1k will even compare, either way this will be my last run under hps alone.. i may try both cmh and hps tho.. ill have pix of everything up in a day or so..to be honest i didnt expext the 3 315's to do that well,, i thought running 2 over my table was perfect and 3 would be overkill,, but i was wrong..yield went from 793grams under 630 watts to 1239 under 3...
as of now 3 315's deffinatly compare better to 2 600 watt HPS'S than 1 1k hps...ive never pulled 1200 grams off a 1k HPS run

Nice, based on those numbers you should pay off the LEC investment with a couple of runs in your environment

i paid them off on my first run, 1lb paid them off, the other lb pluss was pure proffit.. now ive gone back to legal care giver/patient non proffit growing... i may sell a bit off the books to cover a COB led in the future, as i really want to try led.. but i need to be sure what one i want, do research etc...

Nice, 3590's are in my radar to try too but going to wait a bit until our dollar stabilizes, exchange rates make them too expesive to bother right now.

Meant to ask you if you'd noticed any reduction in finish times between the hps and LEC's with the strains you're running.
