Anybody use Galaxyhydro lights? Have been looking at them on and wondered how well 180w ufo would work in a small cab? just looking for personal experience if anybody has any

i know its not the ufo but do you notice anything? Like it's the same crappy chinese light...

Are you a wizard?
Dear OP, the 180W thing is a lie, it is more like 100W at best. And yes, cheap chinese crap, get 'em cheap and hang 'em close, and supplement them with more spectrum, like warm white CFLs, or just save up and buy something good.

Or, build a killer COB panel, save yourself a fortune and grow some fuckin' dank!

If nothing else purchase a quality product. There are a few available now.

i think what people need to understand is if you want say 400w worth hps weed then you'll need pretty close to 400w of led to do it and it'll still be 400w of heat to deal with

That is no shit, unless you're running the newest of the new COBs there's no doubt about this. I'm living it.

@KarmaPaymentPlan . I been thinkin that people should go watt for watt. Your still getting the watt for watt heat but its easy to keep stable with good intake/outtake,instead of the intake/outtake and the AC reflectorvetilation

it straight up has to do with how many watts your running not how nice and new your cobs are

 

[JimmyIndica]

u ever read some those reviews on amazon with the galaxy and platinums? its hilarious too read the B.S. Most all are paid or written by the company! low as u can go!

Well newer cobs can do the same job with less power... its possible to reduce the power displacement by 25-50% depending on the emitters of choice. But not every led will allow you to do that

but the key bit is your running less watts

It would be cool if i finally starting seeing people pull more down from less watts but even realstyle grow just hit the g/w bench mark and he has the best atm

Iirc he has his fixtures dimmed by 50%

For sure running them soft made them more efficient when he cranks them up do you think his gpw will decrease?

Err, captainmorgan hit 1.7 gpw a few weeks ago on his grow.

yes that was beautifully done he is an amazing grower he's the reason i bought a51 he did have a monster plant but I'd still like to see more accomplished growers achieving those numbers in more common growing operations

 

[gulfcoastgrower]

yup yup

To many variables to say for sure. I'm not a fan of the g/w metric, he may get more dry weight, but would there be a trade off in quality?

that's pretty bold how can you justify that? I can't see how producing more can make it less potent maybe more buds of all qualities simply because a larger yield but buds over all less potent?

Only postulating. I seem to remember mentions of too much light (more than 1500umol) having a negative effect on potency.

I could be wrong.
