So arguments from me on that one. I think LED's should use the same standard as the rest of the industry. I'm guessing that it started as a marketing ploy to get more interest when they weren't that popular. A 300W panel (max rating) sounds way more believable to replace a 600W HPS than a...

It looks like its just fan leaves sucking out and the leaves on the buds look unaffected so hard to say there's a deficiency. I'd almost say nute lockout unless you are running a really weak nute schedule in which case bump it but generally its rare to see under-nute. Just had a buddy under...

I think it's just a matter of learning what the numbers represent. Auto industry used to advertize BHP (Brake Horse Power) which is at the flywheel and is no where near to what you are actually putting to the ground (Wheel Horse Power) so it's a similar idea. It also explains why some light...

I have two over a 4 x 4 but only because these plants didn't stretch like I was expecting and I expected to cover a 4x6 area with two of them. I would say that one light would definately cover a 4x3 area with 18"-24" (foliage) plant height. One thing to keep in mind is how tall your plants are...

Just because a panel doesn't draw close to it's maximum wattage isn't a bad thing. The best diodes in the industry (I'm talking $25 wholesale per LED units) don't recommend driving them at more than 2/3rds maximum rating. Generally speaking panels should draw about 50% of maximum rating and keep...

I've only ever heard of Parafin in England and I think that's just a British or Aussie term for Kerosene which is a common camping fuel in North America. My burner is propane powered but I can change the regulator and run Natural Gas. They are both very similar products. I actually find that...

Still working on getting a good blanket natural light source to take some really good pics so get a good feel for the whole show. All the plants are thick with foliage and crazy lush green healthy (which seems to be very common with LED's) and everywhere you look there are bud sites..... Frick...

29 days in flower. Super busy right now and have been neglecting my journal. Can't believe the change in three days. Buds are way bigger and already starting to connect. Smell has really picked up too :-)

LedBudGuy last pulled 27oz 6g on 600 watts of actual draw. 1.27 grams per watt. 1000W HPS draws 1108 watts so you need to go pull 1407 grams. THATS 3 POUNDS 1 OUNCE 17 GRAMS OFF ONE 1000W HPS Good luck!

I run a large carbon filter with a small cfm fan. I don't go anywhere near the max fan cfm recommended. The longer the air takes to pass over the carbon the more smell gets eliminated. I'm legal but I run like I'm not. It's the best way to avoid problems.

In his latest grow journal Irishboy made the comment to only believe results and that probably sums it up. Manufacturers can claim whatever they want and people in advertising are really good at telling you what you want to hear. Social Media (forums are included in this) are full of...

Just an idea.....as though you are the first one to be testing the waters.....make sure you get a smokin deal! If they are as good as he claims, you will generate a ton of business for him. Look at what IrishBoy has done for GLH. He's pretty much their whole marketing department now.....lol

Thats some solid, honest advice. Don't believe the guys who are gonna make the money off you. Believe the guys actually putting them over plants. Kinda like reading consumer reports before you buy a car :-) Got some more pics for us Irish?

I ran this strain years ago and its just not a big plant unless you veg forever and even then it doesn't take off much in flower. It was good for tables. I used to run a strain (10 years ago) called Purple Death and it used to explode to about 3 times the size it was triggered at. I used to...

Cool! I'll definately check in. How high above the plants are the lights hanging? Is that a 4x4 area? I think the 36 aero is 3x3 but guessing that the scrog kinda extends that. He running co2?

I hear ya. As long as there's an appropriate increase in yield a more expensive light can pay for itself pretty quick and I'm fine with that. The big issue is outrageous claims with no provability. Have you done some searches to see if anyone else is running this light and how they are making...

So $1300USD for 280 watts actual draw. That's a lot of money even if it is a great panel. Both my lights together were $1400USD and I have 360watts total draw

Holy smoke those are Stealth Grow 602's. 350 watts actual draw each. 700 watts over a 4x4 scrog? now that's a ton of light. $3200 of LED's rockin that show..... Does your buddy have a journal going or can you keep us or me updated how he does? I've got two 357 Magnums over a 4x4 area and...

I didn't top or FIM or do any pruning. Some of the plants look like they have multiple top colas but thats just lower branching that grew up close to the height of the top. Thats just how they grew. As far as 3 of 4 ft monsters, I don't know. These ladies are gonna top out around 2 ft...

So day 26 of flower. Quick pics before I go shovel more snow.
