ya bro led are not cheap, but i will say i have yet to do a grow that my 1st run paid for more then the units in savings from buying meds. but the up front cost is what gets us.lol
led is for a more quality thing, it will yield the same or a little better then HID watt for watt but just better...
i was a HID grower for years and i had to shut down in the summer, the temps would fry my girls. it was heart breaking.
20k? doing it right bro.lol. very cool.
ive done it before in the summer with these leds. pics in my avatar of the 2liter buds were in the summer with the leds.
if you...
cool bro.
ya purps isn't a strain for large yields its more of a quality thing. always great smoke.
i woulder if the lights too close to the laggers? how far are they in flowering?
no not this time. stalk are too thick now from the silica.
theirs shading them, i think i will toss a total of 3 plants and leave the others for a total of 5 girls. and go from their
i am getting an idea? i have 3 huge monster and i mean very very big girls in the bunch, their punking out the smaller ones and getting shaded a little. i am debating on pulling the smaller ones, some arnt worth much to me, going to pull those and i have about two pretty nice smaller ones that...
girls are soooo much happier with just one 500w. temps are not too bad now. 85F right now.
i also noticed one thing, my bottom growth seems to be flowering faster then the top growth that was right under the other 500w panel. so this helps me to think my theory is right with extreme temps and...
ok wanted to share some stuff with my homies!
i dont know what to think of this because it happen so fast? a few days after i removed the 2nd 500w and just ran the one 500w they girl made a noticeable difference in flowring rate. they just started to shoot hairs out allot more right after. i am...
since temps have been so hot i am thinking of either running 2x290's or 3x180's in my 4x4 tray. cant decided what will be better? around the same watts.
i am thinking instead of getting the whole 4x290's witch is 1160w i should get 6x180's because its 1080w and each girl can have their own...
see HID is allot of reflected light since its round, so allot of light dose get wasted and allot of of the spectrum's are not used. leds are directional and you can fine tune the color, so ya i guess if u have the right led light watt for watt it puts out more usable light for plants, "not just...
na bro i cant run a/c in that room. things have already hit 110F a few times. they are healthy just lagging on flowering. ive already over fed them big time and nothing, my theory is right about leds and heat stress. now i have another theory i am working on and this is why i am running one 500w...
heres a update. its hot!!lol. max temps today were 102-103F, its been like this all week. girls are still lagging and flowering slowly. i pulled one girl out because she was a runt and was just blocking light from my big girl. i am running out of head room and my big girls are touching the glass...
