From what I heard leds will put out more light if they aren't run at there peak wattage. I've done the math and with the fans my led that I'm building will pull about 180-190 actual watts. There will be 80 3w leds. The blackstar only pully 133 actual watts not sure why. Anyone know if there's...

Awsome thanx alot I actually understand the whole angle thing now.

How's it going guys I am planning to build my own led light so I know exactly what's inside I plan on using cree or bridgilux 3w leds.I have also purchased a blackstar 240 and plan on doing a side by side comparison (same wattage). I have a few questions before I start buying the materials like...

Yea I've actually read both of your journals can't wait to see the end results of your current one I wanna see what these blackstars can do

Well I ended up buying this light hope all goes well I plan on growing three northern lights do you think this light will be able to handle those three plants?

Okay I just bought this led. Does anyone know how many mature plants this light can handle

How's it going im interested in buying this led from blackstar but im a little skeptical. This will be my first led grow and was wondering if anyone could show me there results from this light and also if it worked good for veg as well or would I be better off veg under cfl

So what's new with blackstars 2011 model and will the flowering one be fine for veg. Also was wondering if the heat sink is finned

Okay so im new to the led game and was wondering what the benifits of all these extra wave legnths besides the ones good for veg and flower. Here's a example in veg growth the wavelegnth that is absorbed is 400-520 nm (a cool blue like color) and for flower it absorbed 610-720 nm so what is up...

Thanks alot I appriciate the input are you going to keep it under the led for flower?

They are 3 w led red blue and orange not sure of the exact wavelegnth I bought the system off ebay it wasn't one of the asian knockoffs it was manufactured in the us. Here is a link to what I got it was sort of a impulse buy but u can view the specs...

Yea im just worthies about the led being able to penetrate the canopy and this will be my 4th grow but would be my first autoflower

Has anyone tried leds with a auto flowering strain if so how were the end results and would you rather grow a auto flower of non autoflowering plant after seeing the end rusults

So I live in a nolt so friendly state and am paranoid about using hps or mh because of the heat. So I was wondering if I used a 120watt led on some autoflowers would it affect the yield or the time or the quality any input is good input.
