No, they are on this site. Irishboys grow journals.

Michael Sparks · Feb 11, 2011

ahh thanks

I went with a 2011 395w Spectra from growledhydro myself because of the Irishboy grows (and those of others using Spectras)

After a fair bit of reading I've decided to get a 400W induction lamp also, from indagro. I will probably get 2 more blackstars also, but we'll see how things go

I thought the above pictures looked nice, maybe you will too. canopy, closeup, sideview it appears.

i bought 3 panels for £60 they are from china and work just as good for vege as my mates that cost £160 each!!!! because its early days as far as leds are concenred some manufacturers are using this lack of awareness or general knowledge about leds to rip vulnerable punters off. i saw an led the other day that can change colour from red to orange then yellow then green then blue then white and then back to red, i know fa about electronics, but i wonder if you can get an led that will cghange colour through the correct spectrum wavelengths for weed?

I dont understand why there called 357s when they are really only 160W. $700 for a 160W, Naw.

The 357 Mag draws 180-190W.

Those panels you bought might veg a little but they ain't going to grow much, I'd say they are only useful for keeping mothers if you want them to grow super slow if at all

Holy fucking shit I can't believe I read all 221 pages! After all that I decided to go with the 357 magnum for a 3x3 space. Will flower one plant of each of these strains NYSD and ww that I'm seeing under fluorescent and been LST'ed. Will arrive in 2 weeks just in time for the ladies to go into flower.

Well I'm impressed with mine so far and just over two weeks to go.

Another round of defective lights from Kessil. 1 purple emitting only red 2 magentas are only emitting Red, the other magenta is magenta so thats 2 in 5 that actually worked. My replacement lights will be in the shop in a few days!! Who all has had problems with their Kessils? I'm more concerned than ever about the 1 year warranty. If you are investing on the high end equipment find one with a better warranty.

hello all tight with space. be reading a lot about led and was thinking about the ufo 90watt for my 3 mom's the space is around 2x3x4 what do yall think?

col. forbin · Feb 12, 2011

I just got a 90W ufo and it's like it was made for tight spaces with little exhaust. I have it coupled with a 150 watts hps right now. Then when it gets warmer I am going to use the ufo with a cfl 5000k for veg and 2700 for flower and see how it goes. Keep you posted!

A 90W LED only covers about a 2x2 space, a 120W or 180W LED is a much safer bet for your situation.
Good luck.
