im so glad i went private with my LED light set up...even if i have an issue i can probably get assistance from people on here on how to fix it.. fuck these bullshit LED light companies. build it at home and get better results. i really wish certain forum members would team up and start a proper LED light company that gives out what it says and no bullshit behind it. use actual draw rates and what brand LEDs you use. be open with costumers and have quality be at the top of your objectives. my light from supra worked out of the box and even made it passed customs.. its the brightest light that runs at 210Ws ive ever seen..got here in under a week too.. and for shit that has to fly in sometimes that's awesome
I agree I would give my money in a heartbeat to LED DIY Master I've know of on this forum, the same person who encouraged me to go with Onyx Bloom as a better option then the Dorm Grow LEDs I have been using. However I have yet to get anywhere near with the GPW Onyx Bloom panels that I have with Dorm Grow.
Granted I only had one cycle with lights and in the course of that 8 week period I replaced one LED early with one from the other 4x4 area that had yet to have girls put under it. But for how long was that light out before I noticed cause for days during that cycle I would water prior to lights going on so there could of been significant time to effect the growth if just running on one light. Not to mention I struggled initially keeping heat and humidity down. So I am not really counting the GPW, four ounces from 4 plants in that 4x4 is unacceptable.
The goal is 4 ounces per plant. I am shooting for a pound from a 4x4 footprint, I know this will not be attainable using only 2 Onyx bloom lights supplying only 500 true watts of power, but I want to know the what is obtainable with ideal environment of soil, air and water under 500 watts and compare it the difference of adding a third light into the 4x4 providing 750 watts, ultimately I know I will need at least 750 watts of the right LED lights to produce what is possible using a 1000 watt HID or even get close too. I realize that 500 watts will leave me short but for now it is easier to manage the environment until I get the mini split in place to handle the additional heat from having two 4x4 areas within the 10x5.
Obviously my biggest drawback is the reliability of these ONYX panels and I will say this again I have cash for the right DIY LED fabricator for I am not happy with so far the GPW but then again as I said not having an ideal grow cycle completed due to either early environmental issues or led failure. Put aside the GPW the reliability factor is starting to take it's toll which means I have to carry 7 of these panels instead of 6 giving me one spare on hand in the event of assured immediate failure. One thing I can say about the DORM GROWS I have between myself an another person I know 8 panels and 4 spot LED Bloom bulbs at 14 watts for added coverage I have only had one unit fail in the near two years using them. Say what you want but I am speaking from experience I am disappointed with Onyx bloom LED panels but not yet discouraged, for I have had better luck and results to date with the Dorm Grow.
So this means there will be a BLOOM OFF... in one side of the 10x5 flower in a 4x4 section will be 3 Rapid ONYX BLOOM 750 watt total draw VS Dorm Grow Bloom panels totaling near or at 750 watts. Same environment, strain, soil, water and care only difference with be the LEDs bringing forth the Blooms.
This should reveal between the two companies what panel to move forward with and which one to sell on ebay.
