Hi guys. Interesting discussion going on in this thread. I'm a relatively newbie grower, so I just started out by picking up an "Advanced Platinum Series P600" which was recommended at Led Grow Lights 101. So far been doing well for me. Anyone else also have experience with this model? Maybe we can give each other tips and advice.

You should have asked peoples opinions here before making this purchase, That light is very overpriced and for that amount of money you could have bought an hlg550 and have 10x a better light.

So, I’m a dummy on LED lights but need to use them because of power supply in the bedroom I chose for my tent. I bought a 2’ x 2’ tent setup. I’m only growing autos in it. There’s enough room for 3 plants. They vegged our perfectly but flowering wasn’t happening like it should so I started looking at the light that came with the setup (300 watt) and discovered that it was for seedlings & veg ONLY! I ordered this light to start over. I know I’m not going to win any “big bud” awards but surely I can get good enough bud for my personal use. Did I fuck up again with this new light? Opinions please.

no you did not fuck up again, there are better lights you can buy yes but that should be able to grow some dank for you. Look at Quantum boards or Cobs if you want to see LED kick arse for an upgrade in the future.

Plants stretch alot under it. Otherwise just go to town bro
Important to have it in a tent or with panda film to focus the light or it will lose some around the edges with too wide a spread. Although that goes for most lights

Yeah so I've been building a few fixtures lately and had cobs, strips and pin heatsinks laying around. The other day I realized one of my Vero 29 cobs was just missing. I've checked the house and garage about 14 times each now and the cob is just gone. I ordered a new one and it arrived today, bad part about it was I ordered a Vero 18 by mistake. I guess being stoned sometimes has it's consequences.

On another note, when the cob arrived today Arrow sent a code for 15% off my next purchase if it's used by Dec 31st of this year. So basically I'm getting a better deal now because I got stoned when I ordered. What?

If anyones in the market tasty has a good price on a 200w 3000k vero fixture. I dont think links are acceptable on the forum but they are a solid company so i thought id throw it out there. I have no affiliation with them just want to give everyone a heads up.

Hello. I run 10x CXB 3590 DB bin, all together around 100 - 120W on 90cm x 170 cm room. Wattage is kinda low, but my plants are not stretching, but some of them have slow growth. Could that low wattage be reason for slow growth? I am confused, I wouldnt be asking if I saw streching towards light..

I understand, but I see no stretching, they grow more side to side, like "bushes".. I leave them close to lights ( 13 - 20cm) and low wattage.. DB bin has the best specs on 3500K COBs.

Anyone?? Why should I run my COB @ higher wattage if I can get it closer to plant and run it on lower wattage?[/QUO
It could be reasonable to check what other growers are doing with their COBs to get such awesome results. Plenty of info here. Many are running COBs at 50w to 100w and adjusting the height accordingly. At 100 watts in that space you might consider growing lettuce.
