I used hps many years ago then I went thru a CFL phase when I was young and poor but know I run hlg 550s I'm pretty sure they are Samsung boards I love them

Did you lower your electric bill running comparable lighting?
I'm running 4 1000w hps over 4 4x4 trays.
Thinking of getting 6 550s.

Thank you, sir! CJ is pretty pungent. They're musky, sweet, fruity, and skunky. Imagine a potent diesel crossed to something fruity.

You sold me. Putting those beans on my get list.

I never saw them offered in reg.

You were right, it’s the #2’s that are regs, the others are fems, they are really tiny seeds though.

It can be lower, depending on which led(s) you choose, and how you drive them. Those quantum boards are great. Tons of people on insta killing it with them.

You're pulling over 4kWh right now with those HID lights on. If you bought those quantum boards, you'd be able to light a much larger space with the same amount of power.

It would lower your electric bill, unless you buy enough lights to match the kWh you consume now. It would also lower the amount of ac running, because you're using less overall lighting power at the wall, there is less energy to get turned into heat. Also, led lights don't put off any infrared (heat lamp).

Yeah mine were very small. No germ problems though. My LVTK were small too. I've got some prk packs let me go get one and I'll open it for show and tell.

Did you grow any of of the PRK?

No, I want to though. I talked to rusty a while ago, he told me they should be good to go, but if they're not to just send him an email or text.

Pics don't really capture the coloring in the natural light.

True question would be, do you think 3 550s can replace 2 1000s? With similar results?

 

[Mysturis420]

Oh yes I think that would definitely suffice

If you can build your own that's ideal I cant so I bought mine but with some research I'm sure I could of figured it out

They claim that two of the 260 watt XL’s are equal to a 1000w HPS, basically two of those are a 550, you just have two drivers. So I’m sure three of the 550’s would outdo two 1k’s, easy.

I have 2 of the 260XL’s in a 4x4 and they are rocking it.

Thanks.
I think I'll go that route. Less heat and less Kwh with good results. I think that will have exponential advantages over my current set up.

Yea I'm running 3 hlg 550s in a 4 by 8 and my lux was way to high at the recommended height so I had to put them to like 75% im actually going to be taking one out and putting it in my next 4by8 since i have 4 550s might as well put them to work
