Wats your plan for next grow? A SOG would be awsome with that LeD beast!
i really want to do a SOG but my plant count isnt that high. i keep my grows within my med card.
next grow will be 6 Hindu Skunks in Hempty Buckets. uver 1080w of leds. thats three 300w led panels covering 2 plants per 300w

great job on your test. amazing. when they are done curing a review on the quality of the smoke and intensity would be highly appreciated. some people report that the intensity is as good as hid however, the taste has a little more bitterness to it. of course you could always send some of those tasty morsels my way to help you give a taste test. hehe

i haven't smoked the HS yet. but i did sample the jack and some of my friends jack. mine was better with no cure. but i dont know if it was the lights because i didnt do a side x side. could have been my nutes or any reason. but the smell is very strong just like jack herer, one of a kind smell. its a real strong head high but kinda soothing not all uppy and energetic. more of the stuck on stupid high. were someone is talking and ur just more spaced out not giving a fu*k what they say. its weed that will put you in the dog house from ur lady, because she talking and you just dont listen at all.lol

not to sure if the penetration is better then HID? i would say its close to being equal maybe? i had this light 18-20" or around their, and my biggest plants were close to 4', i lolloipoped them a little still got some fuffy buds down low but not much. ive never used a 600w hps so its hard to say. , when you get into the 3w leds it seem to penetrate better, but you must get a 90 degree viewing angle IMO
yeah i was doing some research after seeing your grow n 90 degree seems to be the mid point for coverage and penetration. as for the nay sayers 4 plants pulling over 4 oz is good work man, ijm moving house soon then ill be cracking on with 4 under a hps scrog i was going to do perpetual for a whiel but i think ill do one run then do an identical run with clones and a 600w led just for my own curiosity. ( this way i can afford the LED's too haha )
here are some pics to show that they are dry. anyone should know what .7 looks like and for sure what an 1/8th looks like.
also i wanted to show off my grade A+. enjoy
Looks dank as hell to me man, frosty!

cool bro, keep me posted on this. soon their will be some led vs hps. one is a 300w led vs a 400w hps and the other my 600w led vs 600w hps starting soon. but its not on here. just make sure you do your homework when buying led, some out their are junk. ive test quite a few.

http://ctledlight.co.uk/fi/600w_led_grow_light

this is the one i was looking at with the uv and optimum groth option, id like your opinion on the light spectrum options though its all double dutch to me man.

Ratio:8:2 RED:BLUE 620-30 or optional optimal growth 660nm red - 460-470 blue ratios for growing and flowering.

any things i should be looking for in the better ones ?

ill post a link here when i get the new journo up man

thanks for your help irish lad!

to be honest ive never seen or used those lights. i have no clue about them. but i would pick 90 degree led angles, by far the best of both worlds. 120 degree is too wide and no penetration, 60 degree is no foot print and the colors dont mix, you need to get all the spectrum's to mix and blend with each other to cover the plants. its hard to say what nm is the best? since no company's really say what they use. just because when buying leds. the reason why i would by those lights is because they claim it to be equal to 3600w of HPS and that is a lie for sure. any company that makes claims like that is BS. look for the company's that say their leds will match HID watt for watt. those are the more legit leds. no 90w ufo will match a 400w hps or no 205w will match a 600w hps. its just not going to happen i can promise that! watt for watt is as good as its going to get IMO. also 2 year warranty is junk. at least 3 year. and make sure the company gives you a trail period money back for at least on grow. those are the company's that arnt hiding anything. if it were me i would not even mess with that company. for real if 600w of led could match 3600w of HPS then every grower in the world would be using these lights.lol.. its not going to happen, save ur money. watt for watt my friend. and because certain UV can harm your plants. some will help with resin but most nm of UV will hurt ur plants and you.

thank you. according to some my led was shit.lol.. but i think 4.8oz from each plant is pretty damn good to me. different strokes for different folks i guess. i am still going to rock out these leds because i am happy, and thats all that matters to me.

thanks man yeah i was wondering about that claim, thanks for the heads up real useful tip bout watt for watt, now to find a reputable UK company that does a 600w maybe i should just go with some tried n tested 300's theres another few hundred on the price tag though. think i will try n do like yourself and get a trial grow going for a company and if its as good as its cracked up to be ill gladly pay them for it.

thanks again man

ya GLH, they offer 5year warranty and 120 day money back guarantee. so their nothing to really lose. i am in no way telling you to buy this light, thats not my style. ive already been called a sales rep for every company ive done grows for, and their a few different company's ive tested.lol. but ill post a link and you can check it out for yourself.http://www.growledhydro.com/

Hi Irish,
I have a question. I was under the impression that LED's were running at a much less wattage then their HID counterparts. On the site you provide the link for they say the 600 LED's are running at 630 watts? Do LED's run at the roughly the same wattage as HID's and MH? Thanks dude

so far leds are only good watt for watt to hid to match yield. my light ran 749w with fans and all. HID run around 670-80w depending on what ballast you have.
