Club 600

[jojodancer10]

Hey Jojo I got a led for my buddy off eBay for like 150 it was a 300w " full spectrum" and it works great however its not strong enough to give you HPS results during flowering.

I need one for the babbies .im starting my perpetual grow.im like a fish out of water.i have plants everywhere and want to give them the best light i can.i have flows but they are big 4 footers t5

 

[jojodancer10]

I thought the ebay leds were no good gurss i was wrong

 

[Dr.D81]

No they are kind of crap. But you will get by with one till it burns up in a year or two.

 

[giggles26]

You could always build one jojo like SG did. His plants seem to be rockin and lovin it. Or maybe a small 250 MH setup, it's what I used for the longest time and it worked great!

Hell I even used cfls for awhile lol.

 

[Dr.D81]

I use cfls and leds both for veg. I will go to all leds as i go for veg. I am going to build the next ones for the flower scog and move those to veg

I'm still looking for some LED lights for my veg room 6 x 8
Im done with these damn 400 mh..

 

[Dr.D81]

I like my kessils but will definitely build the next ones. That way i can fit them to my spaces, and get the best parts

The heat and cost to run is the huge thing

 

[Dr.D81]

There should be a piece of glass on the panel covering the leds. You can take i apart and remove the glass.

For me,right now...they are just old,and I do not feel like getting more ballast.
The one I'm running now,I have to plug unplug plug unplug just to get it to turn on..
Ima try a new bulb.

I was paying something like $130 to run my closet with a 1000w. I got a good yeild using 450w LED. Cost per month was like $45.

No using big fans to cool everything helped the electricity cost.

Im in the garden now and ready to take clones.im excited to run docs breed im like a kid in a strip club for the first time.i will be setting up my perpetual

 

[jojodancer10]

All new t5 bulbs will cost 200$ i was thinking just get. Led

 

[oldman60]

It's cheaper to run 2 / 600's than to run 1 / 1000 plus you get 200 more watts
and a much larger footprint. Here in NY it costs me $170.00 a mo. to run 4
600's plus 2 lg fans and my 850cfm carbon filter.

 

[Dr.D81]

Looks like i will have some karma gear on its way soon have any of you ran there beans before?

I'd really like to swap out the single 1K setup I'm running right now for a two 600 setup. I already have the extra cooltube. I just need the coin to drop on a pair of 600's and then I can sell my 1K setup to recoup some of the cost. I'll hang on to the cooltube until I can afford to do the upgrade. All in good time.

Edit: I am in the niddle of a harvest right now.
