LED GROW TEST. 126W hydro grow led VS. 180W pro source LED LIGHT

I had the 180 just a few inches away from seedlings. Straight up man. Straight through. No problems. It was in mid-late flowering when bleaching started to occur. Then again, they were still within inches. Clones may be a different story, as the stress is different when coming into a new light source, as well as being CUT from the main plant.

What type of symptoms, issues if any, did you have when the light was lower, and at full power? This makes me curious...

I do hope this thread to become a wealth of information for everybody. Thanks again, so much, for your testing and contributions Irishboy. You rock bro.

i have know proof but simptoms were hindu skunk leaves folding like tacos, and some browing on tips of leaves.

all i know is not this week but next week is when things are going to take off when i use my special nutes for veg. they always blow up when i use these nutes on all of my growes. this first week i feed them real lite because they were so young. next week i will feed them more like i always do. then things should blow up in growth.

i can already see a big diff in my plants and i havent even begain my veg feeding yet. i am thinking ill feed them on sat.

thats crazy you hade ur light so close and no problems? maybe the seedlings are stonger since their isnt that much strees, they say clonig stresses ur plants alot. dont get me wrong the 180w plants are still doing great just weird how one was folding on the leaves. maybe the 180w has diff effects on diff strains. i know rumble is doing a test with some 180w's and he had browing on some leaves to. but his are doing great so fare.

Irish, I would listen to what the company says on the height issue, it seems that the 180 does better at a higher dist. The real test is goingto be which one produces more. As for trying to convince people about LED it wont happen because no matter what you show there will always be a person who is in the background saying you used a HID or HPS. Hell my own partner is in denile even though I am testing an LED. Our other guy left when he found out that I am interested in saving more money with LED. LOL Its crazy Bro. but if no one tries these things out we will just keep on using the energy, heat creating lights. So I say keep on growing Bro..

Keep it rollin' just like you are, man. This is going to be interesting!

The only problem with having the lights higher is the inverse square law...light is being lost, at a very dramatic rate. We want a light that can sit right on top of our ladies, really pounding down the light.

Personally, I would rather own 10 units that I can adjust and hang at variable distances, versus 1 unit that is large, bulky, and does not cover the same area as many multiple units.

Just my two cents, but if everybody puts some thought into it, we don't want a unit you have to hang higher because its killing your plants.........

Yes that is true we want are lights to be right on top of the plant. But we dont want tooff his plants either. If he follows what they say he should not lose his plants and if it does not produce what hydro does then I would go with hers just because you can go closer. Did that make sense, because I lost myself. LOL The light I am using is 4" at the moment I will raise it to 6" tomorrow. So Irish how are things going. I would like to see someone do a test with the light I am doing. This way we could have a couple of this light testing too. Seems like eveyone has Cammies or a Prosource but no one has not heard of the light I am testing.
Well good luck Irish and I'll keepa watching.

just looked at the pro source plants and their doing alot better now with the light 15" things are starting to take off now.
i will move the light closer over time that way i can find the happy medium with the 180w.

i dont know if you told me but what light are u using.

It is a new one that started by accident. It is the HLS120. Tim I met through a company (his company) that works on High speed plotter's for engineering firms. He is a good guy when he find something that is good he finds out everything about it front and back. He was telling me about this light that is like the sun but it is an LED. He started stating facts about it and I ask if he thought it would grow a plant, he said he would look into it. About 3 month later ran into him and he said he had someone testing a light for growing and it is working. Asked if I could see it and that is when he told me it was not a reg. plant. LOL I told him we are wanting to switch out or operation to save some money on electric and dont have to worry about fires or anything. He took me over and I told him I would like to try one for meself. They are pricey but if it works like I think it will it will be worth it. I went with Tim to CSU the other day the Professors are all excited about these light for their research. enough of me rambleing. here is a link.

Welp so far I am liking it, it bites cause it does not have the pretty colors. LOL
No it seems to be doing pretty good. My clones are taking off and I have the sick plants under 12/12. They seem to be doing really well. We got hit with a snow storm and it is making it difficult getting over to the set-up I think I have about 18" of snow. Lights keep flickering I hope the power stays on. Just keep posting pics.
Later Bro..

alright its picture time! today my girls are 5 days old. so lets see what each light did in 5 days. i am also going to give them a feeding tonight.
some reason the pro source hindu skunk dosent seem to like the 180w? all the others are doing fine but this girl keeps going threw weird moods

Ya she looks drunk or something????

Not looking to happy?

That's too bad, maybe she is still in shock from the trip

Everyone else looks good

Keep it up, how did the other stuff end up turning out?

Have you tried any?

ya that shiva skunk was fire still smoking on it.

Lookin sweet bro! Its hard to tell from here, but which seems to be doing better overall? As far as development, and rate of growth.

Hope the "drunk" lady comes out of it!! Lookin good mang!

i might have skipped a few pages in between your grows but what kinda defese you got set up in case the mites come back?

no pest stripes and flora mite.

How far away do you keep your lights for each setup ?

here you go. their is a wood wall lite proof from each grow area. i actuly put a wall up because i had to raise my 180w lite up for a little bit, the clones dont like it close at all, so i moved it up to 15" over the nite and moved it down to the recomended 10" with half led power turned on.
the hindu skunk that i thought were going to die came back last nite. both of them are standing up, but the one on the 180w side was looking like it was dead then she just stood up and it taking off now since i raised the lite last nite.
on the 126w side i have the lite @ 6" and their seems to be no stress from that. they are all standing like they should be. that just shows the diff between the lites one you can have close and one you cant when their just baby clones.

I had my 90 watt ufo about 1 or 2 inches from the clone and it seemed pretty normal. I read your thread and moved my light up to about 9 inches and the clones have been taking off! thanks for the tip man.

Those plants are 5 days old? When did you start counting days bc those are huge for 5 days in soil.
