More LED Grow Journals/Experiences?

[ounevinsmoke]

Was going to say, you definitely should not have an issue finding an LED users journal here on RIU....

A general search yielded less than spectacular results. Better comments in here so far. But I have indeed changed my search parameters.

Damn I didnt get that tag. Weird.
Link to my post in that big list. Here's a few recent pics. Grape stomper x gg#4
I use china boards with samsung 561c diodes.

Nice, what's the diode difference? 561c and the lm301's?

561s came before the 301s. The 301s a just a little bit more efficient but theyre the popular choice now so most people dont consider 561s even an option anymore so you can get them cheap as hell.
I was in the same boat as you when I started. I wasnt spending that much money without seeing results. They are for sure out there. Ive been extremely happy with mine and would 10000% buy them again.

Done a lot of reading here, cos DP produce some great autos, anything by TaNg or Seymour Buds worth a read:

TaNg's DP AutoXtreme Preview Grow in Airpots under Grownorthern LEDs.

I've managed to get my paws on some unreleased Dutch Passion seeds. I've been told this strain has had 2 years of development and its a 12 weeks very strong Autoflower. I'm gonna start 2(all I have room for) in 15L Airpots and choose the best one in a few weeks,i was gonna grow in 6L but a...

11% is a little more than "a little bit" dontcha think?
Still, if I were going to build out a warehouse with boards, you can bet your ass I'd be getting all LM561C. I'd even go for LM561B If the price difference was significantly more between them.

The Fotop 800's!!!
Bruh, those floraflex caps are gonna burst when you flip those bitches! Hahaha
Huge disadvantage to those I'm seeing now that and keeling your stem perfectly center. Which can be difficult sometimes in hydroton where I'd see these being very effective. Water in one place with hydroton, it goes right down and out the bottom, barely wetting anything.

Dont give them your real details. theres a thriving community on insta

Would be wasted if I were there looking at women, if I see a great grow with great equipment I feel its time well spent.

why the lm561 over all else?

No. 11% is pretty small number considering you can get them for like 1/4 the price now.
Both diodes also get less efficient the higher theyre run. The difference at right around 120w is pretty minor imo.
HLG 301 v2 - 119w 177.50 Lm/W at Board 2.58 μmoles/joule at Board
HLG 561 V1 - 124w 164 Lm/W at Board 2.43 μmoles/joule at Board

Not over the 301 really. Just that its still a viable option for people needing a lot of diodes being that theyre just slightly less efficient and cost WAY less now.

As long as you're checking Instagram, you might want to take a look at some of the LED manufacturers' pages. They repost a lot of their customers' grows - so you don't have to hunt as much for good content.

There are many more, but those are a decent start.

Problem is, he hasn't raised a finger to look for any good content, that's painfully obvious.
This LED subforum is packed with grow journals that include many, many, examples of top quality LED grows.
All he had to do was start a thread though, raise the question of whether or not there are any good LED grow journals, and you guys are falling all over yourselves to supply him with examples like he's the prettiest girl in the room.
He's lazy, and he's playing off of everyones LED inferiority complex, to troll you into doing his dirty work.

Maybe so, but it doesn't hurt me to help, so no worries, man.

I'm far from an expert, but you can check out my grow for an organic grow with leds.

loco's organic grow

sorry if this is the wrong spot to be posting this, but really only visit the organic and led lighting sections, so figured I'd post it all up here. haven't been keeping notes on anything, so hopefully this will help me start being a bit more organized as well as get ideas and advice moving...

Op: youve done some research, right? What conclusions have you made so far other than its hard to find journals? What on :
Environment?
Light intensity/watts per area?
Spectrum? Light distribution?
Media/grow style? Hydro/organic etc
Nutes?
Lights and prices?
Diy?
