Hey Dickhead,
It only beat my thousand by a few grams, but a win is a win. The Platinum XL pulls 710 watts, they have a kill-a-watt at my shop. Last grow I used roots organic soil in 2 gallon smart pots. I had 9 smart pots, 2 plants in hydro. The hydro plants got AN. The soil plants got PBP up to week 4. I ran out of PBP so i switched to AN.
This grow will be all hydro with Sour Kush and Ghost Kush. The sour kush doesn't yield very well in organic soil under HPS, only about 1 pound per 1000 watt in a 4x4 area last time. But the quality is worth it. So we will see what we can do.

I'm probably not the best guy to ask for advice on an inexpensive LED panel, cause the only one I bought cost me a lot of money, probably due to the 5w diodes. However, I've noticed most people seem to be happy with their blackstar LED's, you can try those, but I think my next purchase will be another lumigrow despite the cost its proved that it can perform and their 5 year warranty is important to me.

Just finished a g13 auto white russian bad boy was grown with some AN GMB and promix hp under a blackstar 240w UV flower model. I wont be using any AN nutrients anymore I got hooked up with a Botanicare starter pack should be alot better. I currently have 1 TH seeds kushage vegging 2 TH seeds Heavy duty fruity vegging and rest just pure afghani strain should be great!!!

Very nice dude! Yes, the 240w blackstars will grow some fuckin' plants for sure. Here is the latest one of mine grown under blackstar 240w - just weighed and jared tonight - about to weigh up my medicine man expecting 3-4oz
White Russian - 65.1g - that's 2.325 oz off a 1.5' tall plant muthafuckaazzzzzz (say it like Hank Moody!) - Oh but wait, LEDs can't grow dense buds so how could that possibly be????
Smells like the bomb that's for sureThis was the first plant I finally backed off the nutes and just watered and raised up the lights... lights were 1-2' above pretty much the whole time - she pretty much just had cal-mag and EJ catalyst through flower to go with the super soil.

So disappointed... just weighed/jarred my medicine man...
4 oz... and I already harvested over 1/2 oz earlier when a branch got knocked off, so... yeah too bad LEDs can't grow big dense buds.

Anyone know anything about this company or their lights?

I saw their name on an upcoming indoor garden expo ad. The website isn't the best but the product is intriguing.

Only intriguing because the website provides no real useful info... light could be great or a POS - no way to know as they did not provide the LED output specs. Lame.

Yup, thats why I was seeing if anyone knew anything about them. I emailed them last night, just waiting on a response. Whatever they say I will post here.

Great chart he made!.......yeah I've been lurking his threads for awhile now.......his info that he's gathered is invaluable to the led growing community.....seems like a nice guy too
id disagree on the solar storm unit I had a probelm with it tripping a gfi and he sent me new light then I had a panle stop working out of the 4 and he sent me a new light before sending the messed up one back. and he also designed the light to grow mj specifically i have 240 and a 500 watt ho bs for veg n theres no comparison, the fan leaves and the growth this light is kicking out are just like a 1000 mh im 5 weeks into flower on the first round and its very promising so far. sid do you have a link to your grow journal i am interested in those black dog leds i cant find to many journals on them?

Yeah George is running a pretty good company imo.......and yes id disagree with his CLW bashing also....but in general their is good info on his threads to be fair.....happy growing brother...
Yea Ik george is a stand up guy!! Who ever wrote that should try contacting all Thais manufactures and asking questions and have sora personal experience with the lights before nameing off the worse or best lights! And it's funny how californai light works has the worse rating and the black dog led has the best rating and both are from California I get that they offer a lifetime warranty but d like to see some comparison grows! I'd doubt the diodes are USA made either it's the same shell as the black stars which are manufactured in china but it has some 5 watt chips built in.

and can you post any pictures at all Dickkhead? or no? no offense, I understand if you are unable to for some reason... it just seems like every time I am reading your posts, they sound real interesting and all, but then I've never seen a pic to back it up... thanks in advance
