  • ROUND 2 LA CONFIDENTIAL YIELD:

    Blackstar (2 Plants) = 137.2 grams
    Spectra (2 Plants) = 147.1 grams
    Penetrator (2 Plants) = 153.1 grams

    Total = 437.4 grams = 15.6 oz. My goal was a lb, but I can't complain because I wasn't too far from it. Next round with the Qrazy Trains should yield better from the looks of the test plant.​


    ​

Love the results from last round Wej
from what i gather the results are so close, in terms of price the black star is the WINNER what do you say Wejuana???



  • Next round is:


    Blackstar 900w
    VS
    (3) Spectra 120w's
    VS
    Penetrator 336X-PRO (3w Version)
    VS
    600w HPS (Horilux Eye buld & Blockbuster Hood)​


    ​

Also this next round is gonna be a killer one the 3 spectra's will have a very good coverage i have read that more of less wattage LED's give better coverage and light?

Can't wait for results...:joint:

Go figure I write u a whole long response and go to post it and then RIU freezes up..

It all depends on the light is what it comes down to. My conclusion was each light provided a difference between the plants other than yield, one being most trichomes, one being best bud to leaf ratio, and one was most pistils.. its all depending on if the potency factor or easier trimming making for less time spent trimming are bigger factors than price.

I did note I was not myself going to declare a clear cut winner, but rather let forum patrons decide for themselves based on the data provided.

Sounds like a combination of lights might be ideal ;) Did you have a personal preference? It would be good to see the same experiment repeated at least 2 more times to see if the results were the same both times... one time could be due to some other factor we don't know about... if it were repeated you could either be pretty sure that the results were true or the same mistake was made multiple times ;)

Definitely! The lights are similar except for wattage as far as the Blackstar and Penetrator tent go, the Spectra lights underwent a spectrum change which I think are actually producing better than the prior light!

From the first round I liked the Penetrator light best overall, but I think that was just due to the design of the light with more even penetration. Now that I am using multiple Spectras, the coverage is comparable! I have been hearing about the new Blackstar Chrome lights, which I think I will be trying to incorporate in an upcoming round, and eventually I will hopefully be able to do testing with the same constants for multiple rounds once I get the lights finalized. It's hard trying to keep up with technology though!! haha

I am suplementing my Magenta with two 6500K 110W CFLs from Ace Hardware

Have a look:



The setup right now (I am building a room for flower):



Cheers,

They were closer but I moved them up because they were shading the LED from the plant and I wanted a little more stretch because the leaves were getting stacked. The CFLs are very bright and the reflectors focus them more intensely. The LED is just so bright you cant hardly tell the CFLs are on. I am building a grow cabinet with diamond mylar and then I will top, scrog, go 12/12, and 100% Kessil Magenta LED.

Very nice!!!
@dickhead - I'll look into it but I already have the future prospective lights picked for a little while unless something changes drastically in technology.
