    Check out digikey they are a wholesaler so won't offer you much in the way of hands on customer assistance but if you know what you're buying it doesn't get much more wholesale.

    Hempstar 3 Stage LED Grow

    The Magnums have 60 degree lenses and are really designed to get penetration on bigger plants in my opinion. Scrog is designed to have a very flat canopy so needs a bigger footprint with less emphasis on penetration. I would go with two ISIS-FX1 as they run 90 degree lenses and I think are...

    Hempstar 3 Stage LED Grow

    I only like light movers when they are used over a very short distance to help avoid shading of lower branches, basically moving the light inside the normal coverage area of a single light. Anytime you use one over a large area to replace another light you basically reduce your intensity for...

    I've got two over a 4x4 area. I actually planned on covering a 4x6 area with two so it's a bit overkill but I'm happy with the results so far. Check out my grow in my sig. Two weeks to go :-)

    I used to think Spectra was a decent company with great bang for the buck based on their advertised actual draw but their claims don't make any sense. Their 300 model Draws 360 watts but only draws 2.4 amps at 110 volts according to their own website. Quick math 110 x 2.4 and you get 264...

    Are you serious? Have you looked at the PAR spectrum curve? Yes there are four "peaks" but there is plenty of other spectrum with chlorophyl response. What about Pytochromes, those don't count? Try flowering without farred/IR without the appropriate stress response flowering will take longer...

    Thats the same story I get from the grow stores here. I have a friend who works at one and he tells me the owner basically put it right on the employees to trash LED's because LED users don't represent good repeat business. We don't need huge fans for air movement, we dont need big A/C units...

    Can't wait to see how this one weighs in. Those are the Stealth Grow 602's right? 700 actual watts of LED over a 4x4 area. Now that's some power. I figure I got about 12 days to go with 360 actual watts over 4x4 so will make for an interesting comparison.

    Thats the difference between crap lights that will fail or perform poorly and proper engineering and that's why it pays to do some research. It's all those things that helped me make the decision when I ordered my ISIS and Magnums. Same set up as Spectra and Stealth Grow, finned heat sink...

    The Magnums have a three years too. Warranty is for sure important but I think heat management is also important as a company can always dissapear but if they built a decent light it will last anyway. I think it's going to take a year but a lot of the panels that don't run decent heat...

    Hempstar 3 Stage LED Grow

    They've been getting CO2 from the beginning of flower. Controller is set at 1100ppm and it's a propane burner supplying. Once in a while the propane runs out but I usually catch it within a day. Nutes started out as regular GH but switched to their Flora Nova series about three weeks in and...

    They make the cheap chineese panels look good :-) It's actually quite a shame, they seem to have done a lot of R & D and their product certainly has a ton of potential. Must be a PR nightmare. When you send him the link for this thread point out that the thread you are posting on has current...

    357 Magnum LED?

    If you check out my signature you can see my grow with the magnums. Impressed so far and 6 weeks into flower. Ordered them off www.357led.com and they were $699USD a piece including shipping. Mentioning that because I've heard there are other sites selling fakes for cheaper. Must be good...

    Just to give you an idea, in his latest grow Irishboy has two Spectra 300's (claim 360 watt draw) over his grow area which I'm pretty sure is 4 x 4 so that was about $2K of lights :o Really is difficult to figure out how to set up a room properly. In the end probably just go with your gut and...

    I'm running lights from www.357led.com which is the 357 Magnum by the same guys who make the ISIS. I'm posting the website link because I got a PM from someone who claims to have bought the same panel from another site for $499 which is $200 cheaper than my lights and when I phoned the Magnum...
