You have a good looking plant no doubt. PLED will grow weed, no doubt, but they are not worth it. Waste of money. And you wont grow a pound with that light in 1 grow.

You are growing pounds? Per cycle?? Please elaborate. I need a laugh.

Intelligent response. Get it right at least..... I *was* a dumbfuck when I purchased my P450 from Platinum. I *am* not a dumbfuck now as I see the light! DIY cobs!

So return it, get your money back like Platinum offers, and get a real light. For the cost of that light, a 400w HPS will tear it apart and be cheaper. Or you could just build your own LED that will tear it up. He created a thread bragging about the color the LED put off. I guess if you want...

What are you showing us? That you are using some jank ass overpriced LED panel? #stopbeingbrainwashedbytheseterribleLEDcompanies Not trying to bash you but I used a P450 before I found out. There is nothing cool about that color lighting. It just tells people that you most likely overpaid...

Like him or not, he did what should be done. I dont even think the light was broken so what was there to fix? He is building his own lights now that are far superior for growing than any MARS panel. Why keep cheap trash around? People who purchase MARS lights and think they are the end all...

Can you go back and dig it out of the trash to open it up and check to see which drivers they use at least? :D And for the OP, ALED has been known to refuse warranty service for products that are in warranty. If you are out of warranty you are definitely screwed.

Just dont use them. Cap them off and itll run 100%

Ok, so I got the infrared gun. The hottest anywhere on the heatsink I could measure was 83* F, not bad. Ambient in the room is about 77-78 so about 5-6 over ambient. The COBS themselves are at about 102-104* F

Read through SupraSPL's threads. He addresses dimmers in one I believe. I think for each driver, you should have a 50k ohm pot resistor?? 100k for 2 drivers like I have, but dont quote me. I am not running the dimmer as I really see no need for it. I think I need more juice as is :D

Ok, you guys convinced me. Just spent $14 on a pretty highly rated IR thermometer from Amazon. Should be here Tuesday.

Yeah, after doing it I agree but I did not understand some of the lighting characteristics. Just lack of experience really as I know with HPS you lose a TON of light on the edges. These seem to cover pretty well. Regardless, the sink right next to the COBS is barely warm to the tough, not hot...

Here they are at 3 weeks. Pretty comparable to my HPS setup at the same time so we will see how they fill out!

I have about 10 sq ft of area and I am running 400w of the CXB3070 (200w each light). So yeah, I am right at 40w per sq ft. Previously, I was running a 1000w HPS over the canopy, about 14-18" above it. Amazing how much that PLED sucked. 287w and I only had it covering a 2'x2' area (whereas...

Does anyone know SPECIFICALLY what causes the Mg deficiency from LED (I believe its more Mg than Cal, I may be wrong)? I ran the exact same strain (clones) and within 1 week of flowering I ran into Mg deficiency whereas under HPS, I NEVER had Mg issues. Pretty crazy as I really did not believe...

Light should be under warranty. No need to tell them your g/f purchased it for you. Let them know its defective. That light has not been out for 3 years, so it has to be under warranty.

Thanks man! Its rough, definitely not perfect but its functional which is the most important thing! I have high hopes that I can pull at least 1.2 GPW as I pulled .58 GPW on my last grow with the same strain under HPS. This should be a good test for these little LEDS!

Heatsink is barely warm to the touch even next to the COBS. VERY cool and there is some air blowing through all the channels. It is not losing any power either so I dont believe they are scaling.
