I put a extra clone I had laying around on my porch last week. Mixed Gaia green into some coco. I know it will never finish here but I won’t be putting in much effort anyways.

Looks like it’s got mites already after a week, I’ll spray it this weekend with some citric acid I guess.

Hey buddy been reading your thread for about 15 pages and seen what you grew at the beginning, and the led strips you used. I'm new to leds but what you've shown was possible I want to get some now as I have a terrible time dealing with heat from even 850 Watts of hps, does the set up you used in the beginning of this thread give off much heat? I know close to the lights are hot but what about the space, does it heat the space up alot?

are these leds in the link I added the same or as good as what you used? I went to the Rita fang page on Facebook and there is a website link to the page I've linked here.

Thanks in advance!

My lights have almost 1000 more diodes than the ones you linked

OK. Could you direct me to your exact lights then? 2 years later you think they still great lights for what you paid? What about the heat? I didn't know what others on here are now saying. Is the benefit as far as heat vs light goes, is that you can dial the intensity down to the point the light would be equal to a 600 watt hps but is giving off les heat than a 600 watt hps because the wattage is now lower than 600watts? Sorry if that doesn't make sense I've never used led.

I'm probably wrong, but I thought led is more efficient than hps....meaning more electrical energy is converted to light than heat. My leds sure seem to run much cooler than the hps lights I've used.
What wattage lights are you using? You say the temps are cooler? I cannot cool my tent enough and I have a 600 and a 250, the way my situation is I just can't do it, even the 600 alone is barely at a manage temp, I was really hoping led was the solution.

I’ve had these 4 years now, they still grow the donks, I’d say it’s equal to a 1k HPS for results

I have a 400 and 200 in 1 tent. I have a 400 in another, and a 200 and 100 in another. I usually don't have problems with keeping my tents cool. Leds still put off heat, but ime it's less, or more controllable, is probably more accurate.
