Based on calculations, the LumiGrow Pro 650 and Pro 325 put out 1600 and 800 BTU/hr respectively. If anyone has seen the CLW fixtures' heat output, please share. The Pro series diodes are specified at twice the efficiency of the older ES330 series diodes. Incidentally, the ES330 diodes are from the same diode manufacturer that is specified in the current CLW solarstorm fixtures. That said, it's not surprising that the Pro 650 runs cooler than the CLW SS400.
Lol. I doubt cash cropping will ever be on my to-do list. I think I mentioned that I won't be selling any of this. Tis' all for me
I know Landraces are in a league of their own and won't share much resemblance to the bag-appealing indicas, but I was hoping these could get a least fairly resinous. I'm talking more about the other strains in my garden, though. The SSH x c99, Lavender, and El Alquimista. I don't really know what to expect with the CGs, but if I get really sexy looking buds from the hybrids, I'll have confidence that the CG will turn out great, too.
You my friend have given nothing but excellent advice throughout^^^^^........couldn't agree more/ might even say let nothing but the sun grow these pure sats, indoors they need allot of supervision but if you can finish one out(I never have due to many factors) it will reward you....
NOT POSSIBLE.......we live on earth so amps x volts = watts........a watt is a watt. Their is no way a 365watt CLW ss400 will run hotter than a Pro 650watt panel UNLESS they are lying about their ACTUAL total wattage just like their par #'s. I'm sorry I still like the lumigrow panels but that bullshit about "lumipar" doubling their ACTUAL par rates was bad marketing IMO. Don't state(on the website) that the pro 325 was doubling the par of the es330 with the same/less wattage(flags went up here/especially guod pointed it out immediately) and then later say it was calculated estimation with the "?lumipar?" formulation but not ACTUAL measurements(changed the website info to reflect this)......when Growers House put up the real par#'s Lumigrow went on the "save face" mode!!
Well, as I do not have a Kill-A-Watt meter, I can't confirm that the Lumigrow ACTUALLY draws ~650watts, but it's definitely a fukload brighter than its cousin. Maybe, something IS wrong with it and I agree that it doesn't make much sense, but I think the way the heat's managed is the culprit here. The Pro-650 uses big-ass heat sinks and a half a dozen fans, whereas the SS400 just uses 2 fans and a big-ass heatsink. I promise I'm not lying to you when i say that it gets hotter than the 650. I love both of the lights, though. I have nothing against CLW, but I'd probably go with another Lumigrow before I bought another Solar Storm. Time will tell. After I harvest the El Alquimista and SSH x c99, I'll be using both lights to cover that beastly Colombian Gold.
The sound is too muffled by all the other shit running to hear either of them, but I'd say that the Lumigrow runs a little louder because it has more fans. They're both pretty stealthy. I'm curious about how hot an induction light gets compared to LED. That'll probably be the next light I buy, if any.
It was sitting on top of one of those plastic crates, but it collapsed and the whole thing fell forward, but luckily it was stopped by the bottom part of the tent that doesn't open up, so it only fell forward ~45 degrees. 
Why can't people use common friggin' sense????????? I've invested almost $5000 dollars into this and if you knew this roommate, you'd know why this is frustrating. He was just telling me about how important it was that I put his apple tv on sleep mode or it'll overheat and that would be a 100 dollar investment down the drain. I just wish he would show the same respect for my things as he expects for his, especially being as anal as he is. I honestly thought he was trying to fuck my shit up on purpose. It really didn't make sense to me, but he apologized profusely and I'd rather not fight with the guy I have to live with, so I just bought the deadbolt. Sorry, I try not to talk shit about people and this is the only place I can bitch without someone getting butthurt.
Yezzirrr. Shit's deadbolted. I'll be the only person in my room from now on.
I should have mentioned that I'll usually wait to trim branches until after the stretch (for sativas) because if I do it too early, I get lots of vertical growth. You can also top at any time. Seriously, if I have shoots that grow too tall, I chop off the top 3 nodes or so. The remaining budsites will fill in just fine. Part of me hates hacking up a sativa like that but you do whatcha gotta do to get them to fit under the lights without them taking over an entire tent.
diiiiiiiiiick. It's all good. j/k. I'll just remember that next time; I'm always learning something new. And thanks, I had been wondering if it would be bad to just chop the tops off if they got too tall and I couldn't tie em down a bit. As always, I appreciate your knowledge
Awesome! I'm glad to have you here. This is only my 2nd grow and the first one didn't make it to flowering, so your experiences are invaluable to me. How long would you say they stretched for? It's been 4 weeks and they're still truckin'
I've got some bamboo shoots and I just add them as needed, but once the other three plants in back are done flowering (~4 more weeks/March 10th), the CG will have the entire tent to herself and I'll spread her out, tie her down, and do her just the way she likes it 
But seriously, that's when I'll add a bunch of bamboo and I can spread her out without blocking out the poor hybrids. Hopefully, that'll help with the height quite a bit.
