LED 600W

Hi all what is everyone's thoughts on LEDS?and will the stretch happen

My thoughts on LED is as follows... the cheap ones aren't much worth your time and the good ones are outstanding. What is your budget?

I already have an LED it's worth just over 500,this is my first grow and girls are now going into week 3 of bloom,they don' seem to have double in size,is this dew to being an LED?

What kind of led?

Advance 600w with a flower and bloom switch

Advanced platinum are RIP off LEDs imo. It's not 600w it's really only 184w in Veg / and with the 368w Bloom switch on.
I suggest running both switches in veg and bloom, you will see far better results.

Right,I have ask a hydro shop and they suggest only running bloom in bloom

I bet they did. Many people here would suggest running the full 368w for veg and bloom, how big is your grow space.

80 by 80 by 2meter tent

4 girls in atm

6'x6'?

800 by 800 by 2 meters high

800 what lmao obviously I'm not metric. I'm guessing 800mm. You can do what you want, but you will get far more growth with both switches on

Ok cool I'll give it ago

Also your question about the stretch happen, are you talking flowering stretch?

Yes mate they aren't doing much

That's no good, mine stretched almost a foot and a half. I was just reading comments on the light and there are a few people that have that so I am not sure

They have grown nearly a 100mm since I changed lights to 12/12

May be genetics I'm unsure. Usually the stretch happens within 3weeks or so of flowering. I am growing with 2 quantum 288 boards and 2 f-series samsung strips. I wouldn't imagine the LED is the problem.

Ok see what happens
Thanks heaps
