no they stoped streching this week, the 126w streched more then the 180w i think its because they use white leds witch contain blue, so the more blue the more strech.

i am also using the new snow strom ultra right now. same as purple max but more snow strom.

Good work Irish, I've been following your grows since grasscity.com with your 90w UFO. I remember when Cammie first come in there and started some steam. Regardless she is a very determined women and that's how she proves here point, with persistence.

Anyways I just bought one of here lights but ordered a 30 degree panel and plan on SOG four 12inch plants under it, preferably gigabud. If SOG works well using the light I will buy two more 30 degree panels and SOG 12 plants at a time, that will be fun. Anyways good work man, you have helped thousand of people with your documentary.

And to be honest, I dont think either light is going to win by a mile stone and by the looks of things now I doubt they will be much different from one another other than the extra 50w the jumbo pulls. Peace Irish and keep your head up man!

Hey Benny,

I was just wondering why you opted for the 30 degree LED for a SOG setup.

My understanding is that the 30 degree ones are for growing big tall plants, but your plants sounds like they will be a couple feet tall.

Seems like you would be sacrificing coverage area, but maybe the plants see more intensity? (not entirely sure)

I just know I opted for 60 degree LEDs and I have about a 2 ft. by 1.5 ft. screen/canopy area under it right now.

just curious

I dont know, Im basically going off your results compared to my results once they finish. I mean thats the only way to see if 30 degrees makes a difference. Ill post a pic though, my girls are still just little babies and two are newly rooted clones.

Coverage area is not what Im concerned about when it comes to LEDs. IMO i still think the MFG suggested coverage area is a little exaggerated (no disrespected intended). If I plan on growing 4 short plants under each light, and when I say short I mean under 16 inches each, well then I want to focus all the intensity down onto those four plants. Thats why I did the 30 degree, Im not trying to pack as many large plants as I can. Im packing as many small plants I can using the intense light to my advantage. Anyways, thats how I feel about it. I personally think people will have to do a lot of experimenting to tweek the growth produced with these LEDs to their liking.

And if the lights do satisfy my hunger, then I will line the ceiling with a wall of 30 degree lenses.

things are lookin good not counting the hindu skunk on the 126w side, i dont understand its just not flowering good. realy sucks because she is my biggest plant. the other hindu skunk that was the runt on the 180w is budding nice and i thought that would be the once to lag.

the others are all looking good starting to fourm nice buds.

I think they all will catch up in time. I noticed the 180 starting sooner, and flowering faster than the ladies under the 126. The lumigrow however, seems to be the opposite. Slower to get started then BAM! Fat bitches all over. lol.

So yeah...I think they will catch up, I think the units are real real close bro...just that watts of a difference is all...

Peace brO!

interesting contrasts...........whats the week 5 report?

the 126w plants are monsters real tall/big growth. with alot of bud sites

but the 180w has buds the are filling in more to each bud site at this moment with shorter/small plants.

the 180w started to realy kick into gear the last few days.



i still have about 4 weeks left to harvest.
