Northern Grow Lights Photon 180 CLU1825 grow

Subbed! Looking forward to watching this lights performance. Hand restraints ready. Too much touching ones self will send me blind.. My mom taught me that.

Flower day 22
Pumped up the volume to 10 yesterday and raised it up a few links on the chain. Spread looks good so far.
Everything is looking strong and healthy. That empty gap in the middle of both plants seemed to fill in rather well.

looking nice brother

Im late, but still excited to see this spectrum and brand of cob do work

How far are you off the tops of the buds. Nice bud exposure, I LST for that purpose. The eveness of the footprint is awesome with those goggle lenses. I have a Photon 1818 and the light distribution bare is great to, just different.

Day 29
Moving right along.
Saw a few gnats a few weeks ago so put up some sticky tape and right now drying out the pots a little and will drench in a h202/water bath tmrw or monday. I don't want anything slowing these girls down.
They seem to be loving this spectrum for flower.



Mango Sapphire


Black Dog Kush




@hillbill about 12" from tallest top I'd say. I'll have to measure tmrw.

Yeah man that lights doin good work.

Day 36
Half way home. Gnats are eradicated. Temps are getting a little cooler outside. Fall is in the air.
The light is 11" away from the tallest top of the Mango Sapphire and 24" away from the lowest bud of the Blackdog.
Hope everybody has a great weekend!

Looking nice!

Interesting and frosty

looking good man, you think taking all those fan leave off helps? I did it once and I swear it made for lower yields

These Photon units are nice, the build quality is very impressive, and the Citizen 1825 90cri is kicking butt! Impressive growth for a single unit wow. Keep the updates coming OP.

Looking awesome! Every bud looks like a winner. The light fixture looks pretty sweet too.
Puts a smile on my face seeing the 90cri in action.
Can we have a shot of something next to some of the lower buds to get a scale from in the next round of photos, like a lighter or something?
Over all your plants look pretty strong too NapalmD.
Top work!

I was concerned about the close proximity of the COB's to each other regarding coverage. Not to worry. In real usage my Photon 180 1818 gives 21/2' x 2' of very even and intense coverage. Plants like it. Mine is 3500k 90cri. My 400w hps handled that same area. This light makes me grin.

It's just an all around better light, easier to work/grow with, won't burn you if you touch it, plants love it, doesn't give you eyestrain... The sooner I'm all COB LED the better!

definitely looking forward to getting this light looking good

Set it up like @robincnn suggests and they make you look like a hero without working hard.

Day 43
Thanks for the positive feedback fellas, this light is definitely holding it down.
Looks like the Blackdog might finish a week to 10 days earlier than the Mango Sapphire which I don't mind at all.

Look brilliant, cracking grow

Nice! Been following this thread for some time and had ordered several of these lights and finally getting set up now. Really beautiful plants NapalmD!
