How close is the light?

The original reflector is 95% efficient. Your adjustawing isn't as reflective.

Thanks Scotch, I have a 9x3 flower footprint where I'm planning on hanging the new xgs'. I don't need any convincing that they are great lights. I am planning on scrogging which I think is ideal for LEDs. I am actually worried that these lights won't generate enough heat. (volume of grow...

I have a 6x2 foot print for my veg. space. I'm thinking I need three panels - each covering a 2x2 square. Does anyone have recommendations for a good veg only panel for this sized space?

Seems perfect for a scrog. FIM the tops and your practically there. Is the emerald cup only for outdoor grows?

I knew the community would support me - humble pie has been served. He still doesn't believe me. You can lead a horse to water...

I'm about to buy the new Apache Tech AT600. For those that don't know it should before at least as well as a 1000w HPS. It also costs over 2k. I've run HPS flip-flops before to stabilize temps and keep electrician costs down. I would like to do a flip-flop with this LED which would double my...

This depends on whether you are going to be breeding. Not trying to be insulting but I hope you are partnered with an experienced grower. If plant count is not an issue then I would also get more room than you need - allowing for expansion.

You want to give the sativas as much light intensity as possible to reduce stretching. 36" is too far IMO - they just won't be getting enough quality light.

Is anyone doing much better than 1g/watt with this methodology. I'm a horizontal scrog grower and I average 1g/watt these days. I'm always looking to increase efficiency. Also - I scrog one plant out to about 4.5 x 4.5 under 1000 watts. Are there guys getting that much surface area out of...

Since you already have a 1k I'd get another and a light mover. I will help spread the light around evenly and prevent hot spots. You could put 4 plants in there and pull a minimum of 500g/plant assuming no disasters. What medium do you grow in?

I definitely think getting the new light from Area 51 is a smart choice. Its one of the best lights on the market. A lot of people get disappoint with LEDs because they buy crap not because LEDs don't work. Also - it can be run in a 130 watt (veg) and 190 watt mode. Lighting will always be...

How many square feet are you hoping to cover with the LED? There are few well-constructed units in this price range. Try looking at the Hans panel. http://www.bonsaihero.com/ledgrow.html

For every new grower I recommend 1 plant, 1 light and a soilless mix. Start with the basics - learn a ton. Save your money for when you understand the basics and are ready to expand. You will learn about light cycles, plant growth, nutrients, humidity, heat and cooling etc.

Light leaks are going to mess with your plants and will seriously effect flowering. You can build a tent out of panda film, duct tape and PVC pipe without any "skills". The easiest solution for a perpetual harvest would be one light and auto flowering seeds.

thank free - I know its "fresh" - I was just giving too much detail. I don't pull in any air while the C02 is running and the lights are on. What I'm really asking is theoretically given a perfectly sealed room, no fresh air and C02 enrichment - will this be detrimental to the plants?

Me and another grower had a difference of opinion that I would like the consensus on. In a sealed room do you need to pull in fresh air if you are using C02? I have been running a sealed room where I only vent fresh air when the lights are off to keep RH down. When the lights are on I keep...

What buckets are you using, how tall are the and what are you insulating them with. I'd love to see 1.5 g/watt!

If anyone wants a cheap way to automate plant rotation the motor out of a microwave makes about one revolution a minute. They are pretty much built for the task.

I think the problem is their terrible website. The contact info e-mail is wrong and the contact form bounces back. I got someone as soon as I called during business hours. I doubt anyone checks the voicemail.
