Removing shade from LED

Previously posted about having trouble with flowering after switching to LED. Turns out it was an interruption in the 12/12 schedule that caused herming. Fast forward to second try with Bloom Plus XP1000 with much better results. Much lower electric bill and it looks like a decent return with 3 feminized Wedding Cakes, in DWC bubblers. Don't think I'll be going back to HPS light.

Not sure how dense your buds are but that is only a 100 to 150 true watts. You really need more power to flower 3 plants unless they don’t veg at all. I run 480watt a in a 4x4 with 4 plants and wish I would have gone with a 600watt. Yes LED is the way to go in my book.

Right, I think it's only 120w draw, but getting beautiful dense frosty flowers. I'll try to get a pic attached at some point.

Good deal. These new tech LED’s work really good in my opinion. I will tell you to keep an eye on Amazon for the groplanner lights they keep going on sale for under 50 bucks and they are awesome lights. True 150 watts so you could make a true 600watt beast for under 200 bucks. They are solid lights. I have one hanging over my wife’s succulents she likes to grow and it works great. I did use it for a short time over some clones and it worked great for that too. If your in the market keep an eye on them they are worth every penny.
