. They are being lite by 2 T8 shop lights and 3x 100w Epistar DIY (3w LEDs) boards. These two autos are about 3 weeks from harvest. The mom shown in the last (sideways) picture is about 3-3.5 weeks old, pretty nice size for it's age.

I started with just 1 100w board, then added the shop lights and additional 100w boards as I added plants and as they grew. There are also two baby mom's in one hydro bucket you may notice, that is just due to my space limitation on this rack while the room is under construction.

The big mom is getting chopped into 24+ clones this evening.

FYI, any white spots you may see if you look closely enough are diatomaceous earth residue.

The Autos are in dirt, had fungus gnats.

I have 2 4x4 tents. Doing 6 plants in one for veg and picking the best 4 to go to the flower tent. I was thinking of getting 4 rw150 lights for the flower tent. And 4 rw75 for the veg tent. I'm new to growing and led lights. I have KIND xl750 and the 350 also for either tent. But going to try to et my money back for them im still within my 90 days.

And to add to this I am trying to keep the heat down. My kind 750 is enough to almost be too hot for my setup. Will having these 4 lights in each of my tents create significant increase in heat?

Little ones are looking good. There under T8 right now. I am thinking about just veg n em under T8 then flower under the KIND.

I'm only 2 weeks into flower off the 750 kind and it looks pretty good. I've just been talking with some others and ally agree that rw150 from a51 would beat the kind by far. I'm having trouble with my kind on board timer it's not working right. Can't seem to upload file here but I just started a thread All my pics are there.

I'm talking about getting 4 rw150s to replace it if it's broke. Still under my 90 days return. I've heard of another guy who bought one from same place and a whole string of linghts burned out in a week.

1. Yes, try and return you KIND lights.
2. Yes, four RW-150's will rock a 4x4, and are a true replacement for a 1000W HPS.
3. Yes, four RW-75 should do great in your 4x4 veg tent.
4. I've been using Area 51 LED's for years now without complaint.
5. Good luck

Does anyone have experience with the Budmaster II 450 OD LED Grow Light? It would cover 0.80 x 1.2sqm wich is what I need. They cost around 1.2k wich is okay if they are as high quallity as advertised. Can someone help?

Great thanks! What are your thoughts on any extra heat from the 4 lights vs the one kind light?

Four RW-150's will run cooler than your KIND light for sure.

Thanks I apprecxiate the tips. I'm ordering the 4 rw150s and then going to hook them up asap and try to return the kind. If not will use it in my veg tent

Here's today. I put a bucket with sugar water and yeast and also some in the 2 liter with a hose right above the plant.

Amazing physics BK 465watts puts out more heat than 600 watts. Each unit maybe cooler but the temp in the tent will be higher

It depends on how efficient the Kind is at converting 465w of electricity into light and not heat. We can't know because Kind doesn't tell us which chips they use. As self-adulating as their web site is, one can only assume that they don't mention this information because there's nothing to admire about it.

Your probably right. I hope Get the new rw150 lights I ordered set up and line up a return on the kind before my 90 days is up.

Okay, lets put physics aside for a moment, and look at the logic of your statement. "Each unit will be cooler but the temp in the tent will be higher." Really stare at that sentence for a moment and let it sink in. A squared + B squared is not = C squared. As long as he's got a 6" inline fan attached to the tent he'll be fine. Stop trying to scare the poor guy.

I only have a 4" in line fan and trying to send it through two tents and 20 ft of duct between two rooms. Just enough to create vaccum on flower tent and blow out up the veg tent. The upstairs gets so hot during summer even with ac goin. And winter another 4" inline fan blowing fresh cold air tk keep temps down.

Oh please I'm not scaring anyone. Unless the kind led is less than 20% efficient and the a51 are better than 50% efficient there will be more heat in the tent. The guy is concerned with heat. Never forget the physics.
