I want pics dammit!!!!!! ........did you get the 325 or 650?? JOURNAL this beast!!!mine just arrived today i'll take picture later - too excited lol
Is heat an issue at all with the 650? I am on the fence about whether to get a 325 or 650. Is money the only driving factor for most people? Because overall I feel like the 650 is definitely a better deal so I don't know why the 325 would be so popular. The only thing that would make sense is heat? I'm in a very confined grow tent (2.5' x 2.5' x 5') and its stuffed into a closet grow so there isn't too much air space outside of the tent (maybe a maximum of the same volume of space outside the tent as inside). I can circulate the air but I figure my experience with MH/HPS lighting has been that the entire grow closet was getting too hot (95f+) on a 400w MH/HPS with 400 cfm fan.i got the 650 - will start posting journals very soon
Please refer to the following chart from LumiGrow. Their published PPFD is in Adjusted PAR (x2) which normalizes the value against HID lamp spectrums. That is to say, the effective PAR value of the LumiGrow Enhanced Spectrum is twice as effective as the PAR value of an HID lamp.ok so growershouse finally came out with their Lumigrow Pro Series Review

as you can see - Lumigrow's claims about 1900 µmol @ 2ft is a LIE - Growershouse PAR light test shows 652 µmol @ 2 ft.
I compared different LED grow lights and finally I purchased WEX-C150-W. I love itok so growershouse finally came out with their Lumigrow Pro Series Review

as you can see - Lumigrow's claims about 1900 µmol @ 2ft is a LIE - Growershouse PAR light test shows 652 µmol @ 2 ft.
this makes me a little sad that they made such 'outrageous' claim (652 µmol vs "1900 µmol" - thats a BIG difference)
regardless, i have the unit now and look forward to seeing if it will be able to match the production of a single 1000w HPS (since lumigrow claims their 650 model is equivalent to TWO 1000W HPSs)
on a side note - the light looks great, solid unit, well-built, doesnt get too hot - my tent stays between 82-84F (i have proper ventilation)
anyways - hope this helps anyone who's lookin abt more info regarding lumigrows
I'd love to see some pics of those lumigrow pro 325's in action. Post something up if you can!I just started my first grow. I purchased one Lumigrow pro 325 for $1000. I then purchased another for $850. I
I live in the desert. Outside temp is 99+. I felt like LED was the only option. They each have a 5 year manufacturers warranty, so I figured they were worth the price in light bulbs. I do not have a local gardening store. I have each one in a 4x4 grow tent. I am very pleased with my purchase, but I do not know any difference.
