    California Light Works return policy

    I bought my clw from rouge hydro. I ordered the fullcycle but they sent me the vegmaster. In retrospect, I saw that it was my mistake, but the nice girl at rouge hydro intercepted the order before it was delivered, and sent me the full cycle I wanted at no additional charge

    So are more expensive LEDs really worth it..?

    not sure what I would do with a half pound. I can't smoke that much. The shit I grow is so potent it is not safe to walk around the house at night after you smoke a bowl. As a matter of fact, I am looking for a little less potent strain. Maybe a little less indica and a little more sativa?

    So are more expensive LEDs really worth it..?

    I don't really want to say in this context. The quality is superb and the customer service is excellent. They were sold as being equivalent to 400 w hid. I've never used 400w hid, but I've used 250w mh , 800w mh/hps and 1000w watt hps, so I have something to compare them to.

    So are more expensive LEDs really worth it..?

    I currently flower under led and my initial experience is they are not worth the extra money for performance (yield for sure, not sure about quality), but may be worth the cost in increased savings in energy. My yield is suffering since I switched to led, but I really can't tell if there has...

    So it's not watts per sq ft with LED's?

    I doubt any hid manufacturer will advertise the PAR of their lights. Comparing led watts to hid watts doesn't get it anymore. Nowadays light is measured in par. But how much PAR you need to do what a 600w hps will do is still being debated.

    Best LED for $400-$600?

    600w hid mh/hps for less than $200. By far better than any led you will find in your price range.

    LED too close for seedlings?

    too tight? Isn't that what you want? Nice tight nodes. Wide nodes is the first indication you have a light problem. Like not enough.

    Best color temp for veg?

    clw makes a "vegmaster" a Flower master and a fullcycle. You might check their spec sheets to see what they went with

    Can led compete with hid

    well, we already know, it's undisputed that in a small space, you can grow really good pot with a 600w mh/hps. So it's up to us led growers to prove we can grow superior pot with an led.

    Problems with LED vs. CFL

    unlike your cfl which can be kept a few inches above the canopy, my led needs to be about 18 inches above or it will start bleaching leaves. But nothing is ever going to look lush and green under an led, even if it is,

    Is it worth investing in LED?

    I'm done buying, but this was for a 2x2, one #10 airpot I really like my clw220, kind of expensive, $439 plus free shipping. It is super high quality and the plants love it, But I still can't tell just by observing what watt hid it would be comparable to. I would say 400w is pushing it a...

    Is it worth investing in LED?

    well, if you already have been using a 1000w mh, you may like "upgrading" to an led. That's what I did. But probably nothing today is going to beat that 1000w. For smaller applications however there is a great debate about the quality of light. Just anecdotal from watching and observing and...

    Is it worth investing in LED?

    ok, so clw says my 220w has a draw of 180w and is comparable to a 400w hid. Is that correct? It would be so much easier for me if I could exactly know what led is comparable to what hid. I know just about everything an hid can do, I am very new to led.

    Is it worth investing in LED?

    I use led and I use cfl for veg. But, I would say if you are just starting out a 400w or 600w hid (depending on the size of your grow room) are the best use of your money. You can buy a 400w mh/hps on ebay for $100. It would take a long long time to make up for the increased cost of led in...

    Platinum P300 LED distance

    keep the leaves 18 inches away. You can let the buds grow closer.

    Platinum P300 LED distance

    just keep led about 18 inches above the canopy. Much closer and they start bleaching the leaves. So no, you don't lower, you raise a little each couple of days, sometimes everyday.
