Have you looked at this light... KIND, It has an adjustable spectrum built in...
This most likely would be overkill for your space...

from my research KIND is a rebranded chinese light and extremlely low quality,probably one of the worst investments of $ per watt you can find.Apache and kessil on the other hand are both well made lights made in the US.With efficient diodes.

To answer your question,yes ive looked at them.

Ya know..I really like these little kessil on goosenecks...for my situation its a nice versatality to have.The fact that you can use them to kinda zero in on a particular part of the spectrum is very handy as well.Im thinking of picking up the kessil spectrum controller to play with.

Interesting .... High Times rated it the best LED Light two years in a row. Yep I have done a lot of research on both Apache & Kessil they are good lights. It seems to me Kessil is more of a one plant light http://www.kessil.com/horticulture/H380.php. I do have a hard time reconciling 3 ft canopy penetration with only 90 watts. I don't have any firsthand experience with them but do with other lower wattage LED lights and they always came up short when it came to bud density especially in the lower regions of the canopy . They worked great if you kept you plants under 3 ft, did a lot of lollipoping and defoliating. What do you normal net per plant? I always wondered why I never seen a LED Light using OSRAM LED's. Love the frosty pictures.

High times is paid to endorse and give good reviews,hardly a subjective source.Kind uses the same shitty diodes as most cheap ebay burple lights.

Plenty of leds run osram gear,its decent stuff.

A single kessil is a one plant light ya,I dont really care about penetration,im not growing trees top down.This is all just personal meds and I have plenty getting 3-4 ounces a plant.But my harvest time is on the quick side 70days on avg. Had some bigger ones and smaller ones but generally dont worry about yield much.For me its mainly just to see what I can help create...and that it helps me is a big bonus.

Ok harvested this morning,for those of you interested in yield here ya go.

120gram plant.Now about the perlite....awesome easy harvest,I was able to just pour the plant out right into a bag.Yield isnt my main concern but I think for its small size 4oz is fairly respectable.Very oily plant here..clogged up my trimmers..

When it dries out ill just get rid of the rootball,rinse out the perlite and run it again...really like this medium.

Now as to my next project...unfortunately my last experiment didnt work out well.Ive been working long hours lately and my poor seedling was stunted,when it dried out.So ive started over in a new medium ive never ran,pics include when she pops her head up.

Cool! That is a very good yield. The quality looks Top Shelf. Nice root ball it looks very healthy. I get the same type running pure coco. Are you going to reuse the perlite? Is that 70 days from flip to flower ? Have to look into the OSRAM lights as they have very good specs.

Nah man its 70 days from seed.Im going to eventually when the roots dry out ill clean it and start reusing it...no disposal problem.

Yep ive looked into them and I agree,they make top shelf stuff.Thing is the kessils arent really what I consider a main part of my grow,more like a suppliment.And the gooseneck design is amazingly useful in my case.

So I geuss if there was a 660nm fixture with same utility as the kessils,then id definitely have to check it out.

And thanks for the compliments bro

Good job! I like your style. Seen 2 so far maybe 3. Awesome looking plant! The perlite worked out! That's about as neutral as you can get. Plant gets exactly what you feed it! Fucking Juicy Colas! Nice! Fair to say the new light is working out pretty well?! I thought it would work better for you. What's the next run gonna be? Re-use that perlite? Pretty chunky buds bud!
