Excuse me? I thought this was Irishes thread.
Did anyone ever tell this guy stelthy typing in caps is like yelling?

Sorry to see your yield man. I remember you got a couple ozs with a 90w before.
Do you think you would have pulled much more if you screened the plants under the 126w?

i think i could have pulled allot more on both area if i was able to do some trimming and training. but in order to keep it fair i couldn't do any of this.

i have a 600w led light shipping to me i was given to try out. so ill give these leds one more chance and ill be back to HID if i dont yield good with a 600w leds unit.

it got shipped last night, so probably sometime next week ill get it. i will lets you guys know and post some pics of it turn on.
 
i was thinking of buying 4 90watt ufo led for 3 seperated 3x3 area in a room. Do you think that this will work and what spectrum should i use. I have never done or even seen a led grow. Thanks. I was getting ready to purchase a 1000 watt with lumatek ballast but I think led will work better in the long run with electric according to the reviews. Please help

The one thing I look forward to on LED's is not having to buy any more lights. That is one of the big selling point fer me and not having ducts running in me room.

Yea I agree, I think training will make all the diference in the world.
In the same space I used a 400w HPS LST and then 200w of T5's in a scrog and got 4 oz's on both grows. I like the idea of less wattage and have used cheap LEDs with some success. Thanks for the info.

By the way do you plan on posting weight?

ya ill post weight of each plant, just waiting for them to dry.
i will grow these next plants with a little LST to them. i want to do SCROG but don't think it will show of how good this new 600w led light can penetrate.

i don't know what spectrum is best, but so far PS seem to have the best IMO. but if it were me i would get a 1000w hps for sure. the yield alone will pay for your bulbs. i have heard bas things about the lumatek balist on 1000w. i would get a different one. one thing about leds is they don't work as claimed, so don't count on that 90w= 400w hps. i haven't seen it yet.

i got my 600w in today and its freaking bright!!! i can barely still see right now.
after i went and picked up my new light went by my friends house since he is going to use my 126w now to show him the new light and take some side x side pics with the 126w i used on this last grow.
