yes they can both successfully be used from seed to flower.the xgs 190 is only white where as the sgs 160 has the red...Just wondering if they can be used both from seed to flower?
Im still new to led and curious why the difference
the A1 for me seem to be the best option so far... for what I need anyway and I will save about $400 on it from the other option I was looking atAll of the good ones are expensive. Some of the not-so-good ones are expensive too.
I bought an XGS but I don't have any grow experience with it yet.
the xgs 190 has a seedling (65w), veg (130w), and flower mode (190w).
i don't own the sgs 160, but i believe it has two modes... veg (120w) and flower (155w)
The three different settings just bump some of the lights on, then more, then all of them. The fans are programmed to ramp up along with the lights. At 65W one fan runs slowly. At 130W both fans spin, then at 190W both are spinning faster. I think that's what I saw anyway. Something like that.
This is from their websiteMy XGS only has 130w and 190w mode. Am I missing something?
email them... they are pretty cool guys and got back to me in 2 days...Only discovered two modes on the 2014 xgs thus far, but maybe I missed something.
Brother Gaius Your Xgs Has 2 Switches Correct?Play With Them You Will See You Have 1/4 On 1/2 On And Warp Speed AheadOnly discovered two modes on the 2014 xgs thus far, but maybe I missed something.
How many plants did you have going at once in the area... Just curious for my own set up... most guys I have read about speak highly of them, youre one of the first to say it hasnt cut it... did you find it needed extra lighting on the side?XGS190 has been good for vegging a 3x3 area, but I had to add some supplemental light for flowering since it didn't seem to cutting it solo. Added in 400w of T5HO 2700k and the buds just exploded immediately.
Selling the XGS after this round and going DIY with 100% CREE COBs.
I only noticed the one switch, but lights are off right now. I'll check again in about 4 hours and report back.Brother Gaius Your Xgs Has 2 Switches Correct?
or the fact Im a complete retard with electronics .I only noticed the one switch, but lights are off right now. I'll check again in about 4 hours and report back.
I'm running 4 plants in 2 gallon pots (3'x3' canopy). No way in heck the thing had enough to flower out the canopy fully. I noticed a significant leap in growth immediately after adding the T5s. Maybe 2-4 of them would be enough, but I think they are lacking in red light. If I went with pre-made panels again, I'd either go with an SGS or inda-gro.
DIY just got light years easier though. Only reason to go with retail panels is convenience...
they are coming out with a new one according to their website... What I dont get is the 160 model has red but the 190 doesnt... seems strange to me but maybe their is method to their madness.I bet A51 will come out with a new model soon, imo all white LEDs aren't the way to go you need more color than that my LED has 4 10w cree white spectrum chips and 48 6w chips all red or UV spectrum and this thing is beast for flowering.
