Your yield on a HLG550?

I liked it for once. Took me some time to do it any justice. I think that just goes with led in general for me. Don't really wanna play the comparison game because i feel it upsets people or just makes me look like a shill.
Differences in Colors, bud shape, & finishing time come to mind though.
Did get some nice Donkey Dicks from it.
Got a good stretch & had even altered the spectrum some by adding a 100w, 6K Horizon veg light in the middle.
Its a helluva light.
I really think HLG should consider this big QB unit as an option for the mkt.

Fair enough.

300 w over what space, or is it more like one/two plants? Approx dimensions?

If you wanna continue to test stuff have a look at @Grow Lights Australia uv boards: all in one uv and red supplemented 90 cri boards. Ive seen really good things from this one. Beautiful finish.
I think theres something in getting the white spectrum really good rather than just adding red monos. Id rather add blues/uv to vegg with low K high cri spectrum. White and blue diodes just seem to kick ass, and have great thermals. Reds seem to suffer a bit more when theyre running hot. And yeah im with lukio your latest was reaaaaally nice.

I would really like to try one of these. Not in the market but they look pretty nice.

They did outstanding on their own in or_gros tests. There was a lot of growth/stretch so the the boards went all the way to the ceiling, with tops with absurdly high ppfd in some places. Id have to check to be sure but i wanna say 1500+
Plants looking happy all thru this. Really impressed.

@hybridway2

pahaha! its all good, the progress must be nice. i haven't even weighed my last couple

your last round looked great. did you clone those?

Thanks! Oh yeah!
Cloned x2 FuelBomb, gave away the x2 BrideZilla #1's, cloned x2 BrideZilla #2, x1 Random Dank & x1 GirlsGoneWild.
The GGW & RD may not make it to flower next run because there's a good new x7 seedlings.
All GPS gear. X2 BountyHunter, x3 BrideZilla (Hiesenburg) x2 SundaeStallion.
I know. Its a very big risk running them untested in the flower room.
Knock on a lumber yard! Lol!

Thank you too!
Aprox 2.5' x 4' when it was standing up in the trellis.
It was one GGW (same girl from comp) catching aprox 300w of the 400ishw QB/strip combo.
Yeah, i dig those. Been dying to try the uva and under 450nm. Too.
I like the sound of whites with uva.

You do realize how hard it truly is to get a gram per watt even in the most dialed of setups with multiple lamps and cross lighting right? The commercial setups do it and then some on a consistent basis but from those pix and that tent setup...he got between 1.5 and maybe...maybe 2 pounds tops of trimmed dried and cured decent flower. And you can take that to the bank. Oh..btw..co2 if you can keep it in an enclosed area and use it right makes a HUGE difference. No way he got 2.77 pounds in a 5x5 tent with a thouie without it. And from the pix..he didn't anyways. Don't believe it. Because he didn't. Another in a long list of forum grower bullshit yield lies. The internet is rife with them .

I just pulled 2 plants grown under a mars hydro tsl-2000 (300 watts from the wall) the first plant was 400 grams after a 90 day cure the strain was white widow....the 2nd plant was a blue dream and she was 226g after a 90 day cure.....that’s 2.08g per watt.....and the canopy was 2x4 so that’s 78g per square foot....off a cheep 280$ mars hydro light....no bud boosters no co2...just a and b and cal mag with ro water as base and on point environmen.....to give a fair honest shake......I do have dozens of 6 foot plus large constrictors in that room which is sealed I’ve never measured the PPM but it’s at least 1000 I’m sure.....

.first 2 pics where from my 2.5x2.5 tent with mars hydro ts-1000(150w) harvested her about a month early because my cats kept climbing my tent causing serious light leaks and she started throwing pollen sacks, so I chopped her early and still netted 6-6.5oz if I remember right idk I think I have a post following that grow...the nest too you can see the 2 plants I mentioned earlier one of them which is the smaller one upfront was a few good weeks ahead of the rest that’s the blue dream....I vegged her for four weeks from seed four-way LST and from there on swazzing and bending and tying down.....that’s it.....l also four-way LST and swazzed the white widow behind her......blue dream was in a #3pot (2.7-3 us gal) the ww was in a #5(4.7-5 us gal) pot which almost died from a h202 flush to treat her root rot, she took a solid 2 weeks of shock from that before she started to grow again but once she did she blew the fuck up....quick.....I’d recon she was sitting on a 10 week veg from seed.....pure coco 850ppms 1x per day drippers turned on for 4 min dtw and that’s it......

My best reported yield is 2.3g/W under 1152 LM561C driven by only a 320W driver from Mean Well.

That is just over 2 pounds per light in old speak.
