LED yield results from the rui community, Refuge from HGL threads

[boilingoil]

So as many of you have seen lately we have a new advertiser on here that seems to have stirred quite the commotion amongst us LED growers in the RUI community.

So I thought I would start this thread so we could have a place to discuss issues, thoughts and comments to let the tester do their job without having to focus on the negative comments flooding their grow-offs.

Personally I find it strange that she comes here and says she here for the community interest but where has she been for the many years I've been using this site? Has anyone experienced her helping someone in the community besides pushing her lights and claims?

Looks like we already have a resourceful member out the door, so I thought it best to give us a place to comment.

So you created a thread to enjoy cheese and whine?

 

[boilingoil]

Yes, I love Cheese and whine, this doesn't even compare to my wife families drama.

i forget who turned me onto this study but it's why i decided to go with wall to wall Atreum QBs for my bloom room. only one grow under them but the results were fantastic.

I'd like to a comparison grow between old V1 288's and all the new stuff so we can see if it is even worth buying. People are replacing their LED boards more often then you have to replace a HPS bulb.

 

[delstele]

WOW! I'm glad I did my research before I did business with scum...

 

[Gorillaglue4u]

Thanks for posting this info.

@rkymtnman great info on diffused light, thanks

 

[rkymtnman]

@rkymtnman great info on diffused light, thanks

like i said i wish i could tag who provided it to me. i try to pass it along now.

but i'm a big believer in diffuse vs single point light sources now.

and lenses on alibaba lights. lol.

 

[PSUAGRO.]

Some of these acts by this drop shipper are unforgivable, breaking cardinal rules for illegal growers. Shame on them

Just reaffirms the fact that you should do your research before buying.

Sunni with her vegan power will throw them to the curb ( hopefully head first) sooner rather than later .

So what is everybody's yields like ? I was pulling 1 gpw 20 yrs ago with a 400 watt perpetual.

to be honest, i've never weighed my harvests. if i have any leftovers when the new batch is done, i give away a ton and then make ice water hash with the rest.

that's next weekends project: fire up the washing machine and do a run.

 

[lukio]

i didnt weigh the last lot either but the times before i think ive been between 1.3 and 1.5gpw. my shits a mess too, like loadsa strains that feed differently but get fed the same anyway!

if i mono cropped a heavy yielder like the casey jones i have im sure i could hit 2gpw. i neeeeed to try
