Can someone give me the lowdown on this growlight?

[RonnieB2]

Go to their web site. Never mind
https://chilledgrowlights.com/independent-lab-reports here are independent lab results. Here's par at 28-36 inches
Here's the x3-500 find the x3 500. 3 x 5 coverage and click on it. I think it's 1.89 a watt

World Leading Full System Efficacy – 3.15+ μmole/J – at Full Output Power!

• Growcraft ULTRA – Yield Max | Flowering Spectrum

Can you show the math for that? I don't see many light companies being this transparent. 3.15 umole over 4000 single leds. The lab results speak for then selves. The other models non ultra are almost a mirror image in performance but are a lot cheaper now because they're trying to get rid of them because the ultras are the new models. I can get you a great deal on the non ultra 3 x5. X3-500 so let me know. I own 4 of the x3-500 and they grow fantastic yields and grows them fast. They are adjustable with seperate drivers to reduce heat. You can mount the drivers outside your tent. They are meanwell drivers and mostly Samsung leds

Because it's weak, or it seems weak. I have the Mars Hydro TSL2000. I don't have it at 100%, but close, it's at 75% and only one of my plants seems to be growing. I've been growing these things since the end of May and I barely have over a foot worth of plant to show for it. At this rate I'll honestly be lucky to get to harvest before the end of this year. It's hilarious hearing about people harvesting POUNDS in two months. I'll be lucky to get a few buds by January if these things don't start growing lol.

That sounds more like an environmental problem. But I have noticed the plants under my samphon light which is a cooler spectrum with a little more red started faster than the slightly warmer spectrum of my mars light. Both perform adequately once things get going though. Could also be the genetics you’re running I was tripping about my where my peanut butter cookies were at week 4 till I looked at some grow logs of them and saw they all run to 12 weeks (I’m on 9 now and yeah they’re about 3/4 of the way done) I normally run 8-10week strains where maybe one outlier will go that long but most everything done by 10

When running 8-12 week strains when do you cut nutrients week 10?

My Chilled x600 grows same buds as my Scorpion Diablo @ 600 watts each light. I've learned that price isn't everything but I needed to see for myself. I'm sure cheaper lights can do the same or similar job as long as they have decent diodes.

I have never and will never flush my plants, i feed till finish, there is no and has never been any data to support the very very very stupid concept of “flushing”

I've never flushed. But do cut nutrients out but I've only grown autos. I happen to agree with u on flushing. I usually cut out nutes then use water and enzymes only 2cweeks before chop

Oh I'm not doubting that. But quality is another story and par coverage and hot spots

 

[RonnieB2]

That's a par map for a 600w light, not a 330w.

If you put 3 together isn't that basically the same coverage or more

You're really reaching now. What about the part where HLG tested some Chill lights, and got significantly lower numbers from their independent testing?

Oh jeez, someone find this. Hard to trust a company once they get caught fudging numbers.

It was shown on a Grand Master Level show a year or so ago, in which @Stephenj37826 was a regular panelist. Unfortunately due to the falling out between @GRANDMASTERLEVEL and HLG, all of those episodes have since been removed from YouTube.

It sucks when people scrub information off the internet. Can’t find much on the video.

that thread turned into a shit show real fast.

That's not math, it's test results. Zero math showing that it pays for itself.

I don’t wanna hijack the thread, but I’ve been using the Mars Hydro TSL2000 for nearly two years with exceptional results. The learning curve moving to LED after growing with HPS was kinda steep, but I get amazing harvests with the TSL2000

It's the 650R https://horticulturelightinggroup.ca/collections/lamps/products/hlg-650r

I was originally drawn to it for two reasons: first, it's built with Samsung diodes, and secondly, the so-called 'FarRed' factor. I seen another post on here asking if FarRed was dead, so is it something worth pursuing/getting excited over?

It's not a 'bar LED' either, because bar LED's exist, does that render the technology of this growlight sort of obsolete?

If you have owned several different growlights throughout the years, what would you honestly rate this growlight out of 10? (1 being lowest, 10 being highest)

6 now that it finally has far red. Only the RSpec Scorpion though, not the RSpec Diablo unless there's an spd I didn't see. Samsung diodes really don't mean much at all.
