As of right now i am using my 600w led light until i get my new ones in this next week. by the time i switch over to 12/12 i should have my 1080w lights up and running. their no need to run that many watts for veg anyways these girls are kicking ass right now in 90+F weather with this 600w led lights 30" high.

their should be a thing you can click on to sing up? just like this forum. I cant remember 100% its been a while

Very Nice grow Irish. I'm just getting back in the game, well want to. Researching LEDs and have just gone through your three sig links. Heat is a major concern here. I don't have the means $$$ to keep AC running just for the benefit of a grow.

You have some really nice results on this 600 watt grow. Do you think busting up and removing the glass improved the grow much? Also, I can't believe you can trade a light with the glass ripped out for 3 other new lights. You must have a silver tongue. That is a sweet deal. Have you thought that one of theses dealers might have slipped you a "beefed up" LED just for the advertisement of the grow? Just a thought that occurred to me, send something better than what they sell, to get reviewed. Reminds me of Consumer reports, they pull off the shelf, not test what the manufacture sends.

How are your buddies LED grows going? I can't PM you, must need more posts or Karma since I'm new at this site. Take care.

yes i think removing the glass helped. I am sure they let me trade in the lights because their getting advertisement. no i dont think they sent me a light thats beefed up, i hooked it up to a watt meter and it runs the watts as claimed.

I am going to give you a run for your money there buddy, I went over to the HPS side for a little until yesterday when the temps are in the 70's at night I have to switch back to the 180 from the 400 w

But I have some lovely contestants

Lemon Skunk


And this Silver Haze I am going to chop in a couple hours she is looking much better than this picture from a week ago



I have some TGA seeds going now, they are bad ass

Are you going to the Cup in SF this month?

i think leds grow better quality buds then HID IMO.. these leds buds were the best i have grow using leds then when i was using HPS.. dont get me wrong HPS will grow killer buds but i think leds are better quality, and other HID members think the same.. one guy who bout a 300w GLH light just sold his 400w HPS because the quality and yield was so good. their are plenty of members getting great results with these lights even with 180w or 300w.. their is a side by side being dont right now between a 600w led vs a 600w hps and a 300w led vs a 400w hps.. the bad thing with leds is that the foot print is not as good as HID and they cost allot of money.. but i will say this i am not switching back to my 1000w hps any time soon that now i have 1000+w of leds..

Another good job Irish.


My lighting guru, studying for his Masters or is it PHD? tells me in HID you need a minimum of 600 watts, and even then you need the right ballast , hood, etc or your results won't be great. That's a lot of heat to dissipate, and bright light to block. With LEDs you can build towards 600 watts, but get damned good results in between. A seasoned personal use grower should have no problem yielding 3-4 ozs every 4 months, and be totally stealth using a broad spectrum 3 watt led array ~ 200 watts. I know some of you are in chronic pain, but for many of us that's more high quality weed then we will consume in a year. Advantage LED to the personal use grower.

your friend is dead wrong! ive seen some huge yield/buds with a 400w HPS. its all about the grower.

i chose leds because i like the less heat and i love the quality of the buds it grows. you can get good yields with leds if you buy a good light. its just bad led company's that give leds a bad name.
