**ULTIMATE LED TEST** *GLH Spectra 290* VS *Blackstar 500* VS *Hydro Grow LED 336X*

[Endur0xX]

I am trying to find a cheap way to keep my dresser above 1000ppm of CO2, I would like to get this : http://www.co2meter.com/products/tim10-co2-temperature-humidity-monitor ...but it is a bit pricey considering I ve invested 30$ into my c02 system hehe... so I am leaning towards one of those kidde KN-COPP-B-LPM Carbon Monoxide Alarm, which are digital and show the ppm concentration up to 999ppm. (yes it's an alarm I ll have to do something with the noise, ... I just want to configure my setup so I have an idea if I can keep my room with sufficient c02 to make it worth my while) I have read that if you cant get your c02 system to be stable at 1500ppm it's useless, is this true?

Anyway, I found a Carbon monoxide concentrations and their effects sheet online... makes you want to be careful when admiring your plants if you got the c02 going!!


CO concentration in parts per million (ppm) Effects
0 – 2 Normal conditions in and outside Canadian houses.
10 Recommended exposure limit over a 24-hour period.3
25 Recommended exposure limit over a 1-hour period.3
30 CO detectors are not allowed to sound alarm unless this concentration is maintained for more than 30 days.2
70 CO detectors must sound alarm within 1 to 4 hours.2
150 CO detectors must sound alarm within 10 to 50 minutes.2
200 Slight headache, fatigue, dizziness and nausea after 2 to 3 hours. CO detector alarm must sound within 35 minutes.4
400 CO detectors must sound alarm within 4 to 15 minutes.2
800 Dizziness, nausea and convulsions within 45 minutes, death within 2 to 3 hours.4
1,600 Death within 1 hour.4
13,000 Danger of death after 1 to 3 minutes.4

Just a heads up, CO is different from CO2... carbon MONOXIDE vs carbon DIOXIDE. They are entirely different compounds.

you beat me to it, co and co2 are totally different
and i don't think that detector would do anything for you. Props for thinking outside the box thou.

If its a dresser I would look into those CO2 making bags and just keep that in there..

sorry for bein harsh, i can be kinda an ass lol hope no offense was taken lol

Oh and fyi i can get teh h350's for 360 bucks, trust me its way worth it for 90 watts just ask cannawizard. lol your gonna wanna try that, 36 watts makes my 130 of blackstar look pretty pussy in comparison lol specially when 36 watts is doin what 130 is lol

kessil is the shit, basically IMO its come full circle back to where i was 3 years ago when i started this Blackstar and Kessil > everthing else i've seen either because of price or quality. Not sayin there arent other GREAT lights out there i just think prices get too crazy for results at a certain point and kessil is still a little on the pricey side IMO but they are comn down and they are still worth it.

Indeed, I am a follower... and thank god there is people like Wejuana that expose their experiments so that I can follow even more...

LEDs only got my attention about a month ago... when I put a few seeds in soil.

And still, 250$ (about on ebay with shipping in cdn $$) for 36W lamp! and the H350 is 90W for 430$ on amazon! a bit overprice in my opinion ... but so was my extreme diamond, ... still I find they dont give out much infos about their lights on their website like what types of diodes they use etc...

I had not realise you pulled 40g out of 36W, thanks for bringing this brand to my attention... I will FOLLOW them closely now...

Peace

I have been using my andanced led 3wchip 11 spectrum light for a week and cannot believe the results/node spacing. Will update everyone when I flip the lights to 12/12 in a week and a half or so..

my bad! I was trying to find the cheapest co2 digital monitor and I guess my search got side tracked then I got them mixed up... I was in the clouds! the cheapest I found ... http://www.co2meter.com/products/tim10-co2-temperature-humidity-monitor

I used the flash to bring out the actual colors of the plant. It was the best I could do as I do not have regular lighting in the room.

The buds on the Penetrator are looking good now.

 

[WeJuana]

All of the buds really started taking off after their first good feeding a day or 2 ago.. and I haven't even pulled out the Bloombastic yet! That's when they'll really start taking off like crazy.

 

[Kaptain Kron]

Man glh super fail in thise pics black star by far lookin the best penetrator a close second but not for 1500$ lol bs looks stacked I jus saw my blue dream under 240 and my h150 kessil fillin in sick week five mid week five more to go or so right now looks like 3 zips we see how she fills she's only in a 3!gal pot no smart pot so I know my yield could be better a five gallon and a lik more pushin of nutrients I think I could do five to six fairly easily

[FMCCNate]

Blackstar Plant looks amazing

 

[tongue001]

First off thanx for the comparison, definitely was needed as it will help alot of people decide which light is best for them. But from the videos and pic my money is o the penetrator x.

what model from advanced r u using?

 

[SunnyD]

whats ur temp in ur rooms? and what are u feeding them? looks really deficient from the look of the blood red stem.

 

[PrezDickie]

Red stems are common to some strains and also led seems to bring this trait out even when nutes are in good balance

I will get mine next week!! I wish I would have bought the 200W now!!

@Nate - Yeah the Blackstar bush is a beauty! All the buds look relatively similar in size still, but the Blackstar leaves are much more perky.
@tounge - Your very welcome! Thanks for joining the thread.
@SunnyD - Dyna-Gro full line, plus bud candy/big bud and atami Bloombastic to finish it off. I originally thought the red stems were due to a deficiency (Mg) but I fixed it and the leaves greened back up, all plants including the Blackstar have red stems if you look at the pix, its the LA Con genetics.
