p.s. what kind of Red`s is it ? 630nm or 660nm ?

Yeah man, summer growing has taken its toll on me. I'm excited to see the room temps after installing this in the closet. I'm checking on the reds and will get back to you. I went with this unit based on your recommendation and a couple others out there. We will see what she can do.

Love the new light bro! Like Slipon, I can't wait to see what this baby can do. I would like to be able to run leds, but have to wait until I move and re-invest in equipment. I know that they do work great though from Slipon's success with them, and now I'll be able to check out the white leds, and see how they do thanks to you. Way to pioneer bro. Have fun with your new toy, I thought for sure you would have it hooked up already. All in due time said the Kemosabe. Peace out.

Unfortunately I had to actually work this morning. This new government healthcare program is creating a s*&6 storm for me and my company. But we will end up on top. I am confident of that, have to be, gotta keep paying for these pricey toys!

That's what I'm thinking too. Otherwise I just bought the most expensive aquarium light for my fish! Plus this fixture gives me some options, maybe running two rooms in the future, at least during winter, ya know?

ahh yea, good thinking, would be awesome as Veg light in the winter, and then instead of switching on the RED`s you move the plants to your 400W HPS and trow in some new seedlings under the LEDs ;) but for now Im sure it will rock with your Texan summer temperatures, prepare to turn down the AC and save some serious power form it all

so you have a fish tank, do you use water from it for your plant`s ? was curious as I much rather get a fish tank then a RO filter, also for my Cat`s sake, Im sure he would love some "Cat TV"

I have a 70 gallon fresh water tank that I've had going for over three years and the same fish. I water the outside plants with it and they love it. I want to start working the aquarium water into my indoor gardening, just haven't got around to it yet. But I agree, the benefits from the fish water would be fantastic in my grow.

yea Im thinking the same, my Tap water is totally clean and everything, but also contain a lot of Lime, would be cool to run it through a fish tank first, I could easily do with sumthing 1/10 of that size and just load it with some neon fish and gubbi or sumthing cheap

Yeah, big tanks are expensive to maintain, but once stabilized are easy enough. Should have seen us moving the tank into our new home last year. Had several 3 gallon plastic tubs in the back of the car with the fish sloshing around in them. The entire trip my wife is holding her nose. She's a trooper! Lol.

My daughter has a fish bowl in her room. I'm sure somewhere in between would be perfect.

Ok, installed the light and I'm happy. Been running for an hour and the temp is just 77 degrees. That's just three degrees warmer than my office temp! Exhaust was cut back to 50% from 90%. That's going to save on A/C. I will keep tweaking with things, but so far everything is going smoothly.

Pulled the girl out so I could upgrade.


Ok here is the room empty with the fixture in place.


Under. Duct taped holes until I locate some caps.


New chain to rig this up. I have adjustable arms so I can move light if necessary. The plant shelf moves too.


Easy to make a clean install with this kind of equipment.


Girls going back in.




Back in their home.

Man, I got duct tape there on my ceiling, thought I was ghetto, damn.




Slip, here is the info on the red lights and some fact sheets.

The white LEDs are 5w Cree XPG 4000k, and the reds are Cree XPE 630nm.
The white LEDs cover spectrum from about 415nm to 780nm, and provides enough 660nm.

If that duct tape lives through this grow I will be shocked, I am sure there is coverup in the works some time in the very near future.

Hey hb, thanks man. My phone camera was acting weird with the light frequency in that position. It's pretty bright in there. Be taking pics with the lights out in the future or using my big boy camera.

From what I've seen so far, I wouldn't be surprised if he went and got a wrap like for a car to line his cab. for next grow, just so there wasn't any wrinkles, LOL.
BTW, thanks guys for going over and peeping the thread I mentioned earlier.
:clap:

Appreciate the posts guys. Plants are adjusting well to the new LED light. 12 hours since I switched out the 400w HID with the LED panel. 77 degrees in there.




Think she's a girl. Bag seed showing her sex today, two fine white hairs.
