My LEDs in the grow room

Just getting back in the game after a 5 year hiatus. When I stopped growing before, I was growing 8 plants under 1 600w HPS and a DIY Samsung F-Series array. Each covered a 4’x4’ area. The Samsung array is roughly 800w and has 16 strips.

Since I started up again I have decided to go 6 plants instead of 8 (easier access to all plants). I have also ditched the HPS for two of the 125w Migro Aray 2’s.

nothing ready to flower yet and my veg area got over crowded. Planted too many old seeds and more can up than expected. That’s the reason all the plants. The flowering room will be 6 plants in DWC in a few weeks.



new arrays on 60% are a bright as my DIY array !!!

So today I decided to pay $5.46 for a 1 month subscription to Photone. It’s seems pretty accurate when it comes to kelvin ratings.

took the following measurements

sun



T5 flouros


Amazon led strips claiming 6500k


DIY F-Series array


Migro Aray 2


After seeing these results I am adding 240w of 5000k led strips to my DIY array. Should be here tomorrow and I will take a new reading

Added 240 more watts to my diy array. From roughly 8”. New numbers below. Everything improved

Got some panda film to put up, but it’s a two man job. Waiting until my buddy can come up.

Here’s a pic of the new lights only

Took a cover off one of the new strips, did not change the color at all.

So today I finished plumbing my two extra tubs. Just waiting on alternating nodes on 2 ghost train haze plants and a gorilla glue. 6 plants total. Including chem ‘91, legend OG & AJ’s Sour D (these 3 are clones).

I also created a DIY E Z Clone today. Will probably start another thread for that.

hoping to flower in the couple weeks

Started flowering 6 and sexing 21 4 nights ago.
