LED Companies w/ LINKS

[LeoDiamonds]

so, what i am understanding if i would have just purchase 3 BS 240 i would have been fine with coverage right.

 

[LeoDiamonds]

also, would it make a difference that the first 240 i purchased was for veg/clone.

 

[LeoDiamonds]

here is the link for the BS240, http://www.amazon.com/Lighthouse-Hy...ODOG/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1328213006&sr=8-6. now if i get two of these with my 500w would that be good to have all three up from seed to harvest with no problems

Don't get the veg models if you want to use them for flowering too.

 

[LeoDiamonds]

THanks for the info puffenuff. So, if i would have gotten the regular light they would work from seed to harvest.

Blackstar240w flowering models work from seed to harvest with zero problems. I have been using Blackstar240w flowering model for 3 grows now. I see no reason to ever mess with a veg-only model, as the flowering models veg plants like a champ! For your 4x4x7 Jardin secret garden, I sugguest using 4 Blackstar 240w flowering models ($1120), 2 Blackstar 500w flowering models ($1100), or 2 Blackstar 600w flowering models ($1240)

Here is the Blackstar spectrum (from the Gotham Hydro ebay store links):

thanks for the info Psytranceorgy. i am just goin to go with the t5 432watt with 2 BS 240. and i will use those from seed to harvest cause i will be using all three at the same time.,

 

[Psytranceorgy]

having said all of that, check out WeJuana's thread for some idea about similar wattage Blackstar, Penetrator and Spectra LED panel performance, and how clones from the same plant grown in soil produced under these panels...

My grows with Blackstar240w can be found in my profile, and my current grow is always in my signature. A single Blackstar 240w can do a great job in a 2x2 space... I currently use two Blackstar240w in a 2x4 space...

I agree with whats been said about probably wanting about twice as much power in that 4x4x7 tent than what you planned for...

Cool beans, you should good pretty good results with that setup. I would look into the Plant Grow and Actinic 420/460 blend T5 bulbs for your 432watt T5. Check out this thread

 

[LeoDiamonds]

thanks again, will post some pics when all the supplies get in and add to my journal.

Just wanted to add this company to the list. Some of you have probably heard of them, they make the Cree based Procyon 100. They were on my short list for a while before I bought my first Blackstar.

http://www.homegrownlights.com/index.html

The real reason I wanted to add them though is they're beta testing their new Procyon 100w and doing the usual "deep discount for a grow report" deal since 1/20/12. Didn't get a chance to email them for more details yet, but I thought some of you might be interested.

Oh and I have no connection to this company for those who care about such things.

 

[Endur0xX]

they probably want you to grow lettuce with it! What deep discount are you looking at for 100W LED, is it free!?

 

[Endur0xX]

600$ for 100W!?well I guess its not too far from what I paid for my Advance diamond 100W, far too expensive...

 

[FranJan]

600$ for 100W!?well I guess its not too far from what I paid for my Advance diamond 100W, far too expensive...

Yeah but look at the build/design. It's gonna make one hell of a beautiful doorstop for your growroom in 2014, so it's got that going for it too.

Cree's cost money..........my progrow(180) supposedly has cree diodes in it..........id say it has two of them (max)on the whole panel....lol..

 

[richinweed]

blackstar 240...no heatsinks....just an aluminum panel.....hmmm....well im officially an owner of two of these bad boys.....

 

[jayday]

Been running these for 18 months now. Just bought two of the blackstar 900's. Keep you posted.
bought the 500's from lighthousehydro.com in NY, bought the 900 from bcledgrow.ca here in canada. a little more cash but close to home. longer warranty???

Another company I didn't see on the list is:

http://busybeeleds.com/

Don't know much about them. I just bumped into them on Ebay and they're pushing a "20 spectrum tuned wavelengths" design. Don't ask for any details about what spectrum's though cause it some kind of state-secret to them. Not a great way to instill trust, but then again it's the LED industry, so who's got time for trust and honesty? Anyway I just thought some folks might be interested in them.

 

[Vunter Slaush]

These guys have a lifetime warranty. I called them earlier today and the guy said he could cut me a pretty good deal on 4 of the 100x3w models (190 watt draw each) for $352 each rather than $377 each.

I still haven't decided which one I want, or if I want to buy from there, I am still shopping around.
