LOL,,, Hi.
Sorta set up I guess. Works.
First few days I got scared because it looked as though nothing was happening, then off they'd grow.
My confidence is low on it and assume it's simply the olde school of can't see it / must be weak type thing. Do find myself getting over it and confidence is growing.
Running the 180 Blackstar about 12" over and seems about right so far.
Being a flower model and being in veg. I've added a pair of CFLs (20 w) in a Y splitter, on center. Not sure, but seems the added CFL blue would be a good thing for a flower light doing veg? Anyways, growth is good. Actually perhaps better than the HPS was/is.
Waiting on the sidelines is a 70 watt HPS for low lighting in flower if needed later.
Okay, final,,, maybe running the same wattage (not) but I'm saving on additional cooling something fierce! Temps are great (in comparison), and growth? I'm very pleased so far with what I see.
Plants already in veg for another week, then the flip. That's where I hope to see the LED shine-on (pun intended - LOL)
I may need to redesign my grow room to better utilize this to the potential I'm thinking I'm seeing
Thanks for asking.
I see you're doing well also.
w/ HPS (removed for now)
