As good as 1000 watt HPS in flower?

>i think so and less wattage
Where did you get the parts? Alibaba?

>>yes

Is anyone selling this rig?

>at this point no..i am taking time to see how well they work..i have heatsinks coming..and have affordable drivers

How much electrical usage versus 1000 watt HPS?

>>>>so far it looks like 600w..

Do they run cool?

>>>>6panels @ 100 w you only needs a room fan on the rig to run cool enough

the dual panel rigs i put an ac muffin fan and just use 2 x 22" 1" channel aluminum to mount and direct air..

320 w for two panels/ 2fan..this is an easy to use versatile rig that also helps air flow




Thanks bro

i am impressed with leds and how well they flower
they have really good size colas with the bud formation excellent way down the plant
what i like is there is no shading of smaller plants in a grow due to how well spread out the lights/photons are
have heat sinks on the way so i can try the 250w panel at full wattage
hope to take some photo's of everything

I love the leds too. low power high energy, and low heat. Maybe you can use a heat sink from that Other Guy, it looks like it can fit your boards too.
Your Grow is on point.
namaste

the heatsinks that i have coming[from a releiable co this time] are custom size for my 6" x 22" and delivered they still are a decent price..even though shipping costs a pile unless 9 buy alotand ship by boat
they are supposed to be pretty good cooling

are you going full leaf strip? or no strip?

They look very healthy for sure. Great job thus far!
if i had [all] my act together they would already be leaf stripped

at;east i am working using the nutrients i have bought over the lastv two years
ie.organic mixawble foliar/kelp/aminos

hydro: much less N and lots of calcium

gotta go transplant my sativas...always something to keep me from serious defoliation..which i believe in with chemd and those thick indica types

i got my sample heatsinks..they look solid ..

i am in full flower with the panels..bubba looks as good as she ever did for me new heat  sink.jpg ogers:aif-auto.jpg with hps..

here is the ogers x

even 2 ft down in the plant they have bulk..

one of these days i will have some chemd and bubba shots..

i am sold on led panels for growth and ease of use

these sinks should cool the whole 250 w potato,,we will see

at the advice of someone who has tried it..i will be doing

a test using leds 5000k [AZ 561c s 6]..for veg AND flowering

the finish time of the cultivar is apparently 24 wks..

he says there is much more to it than thc..and i tend to agree since the high thc indicas and hybrids do less for me than lower

thc sativas....

he said all the leaves will fall off..then things that my brain will like start to happen

i will ..however be "testing"all the way through..if i can pull off 24 wks...

i am going for the tunderin holy grail though

i will have photos at some point..but the update is

these things 500-600w grow more dense, fatter,happier buds than 1000w hps

i knew they would work ok but this is dang good........



just got some 5000 k samples to try with the new heatsinks on the

"for sativas the leaves may all fall off in flower
but 5000 k grows better veg/flower/quality than lower cct"

test

ps 3000and 3500k are sure doing good though..but its for science..lol

Do you mind if I ask about the cost and availability of these heatsinks? Beautiful buds on that bubba!
