OK, my bad, my previous question about UV in white leds was answered in Eraserhead's previous post. The answer is no for uv and yes for IR. However, in the spirit of deepening the discussion, I found this website which finds pride in selling "true uv and IR free" white light sources. According...

Exactly, Eraserhead thats what Ive found in the literature. So, correct me if Im wrong eraserhead, but any white led (independent of color temperature) will include some or sufficient IR, but definitely no UV. In your experience would you say this is correct?

Thanks for the info eraserhead (love that movie). I have one question, Ive been told by some led sellers that now their using "true white" leds which, according to them, are full spectrum including uv and IR. I have yet to encounter a white led spec sheet that confirms this. Do you know if this...

My buddy is probably harvesting within a week and Ill post the results here of two helios 6 modules each 350 total watts of led with a couple of cfls to throw in some white. Its basically the same magnum plus2 but split in half although I dont now what frequencies magnum is using. He is planning...

Yeah, my bad about the area 51 part. I know all lamps get reduced micro moles as you move away from the center, my point was that due to the small footprint of leds, that fact becomes particularly relevant in the led case (6 inches away from the center in an led has a larger drop in par than 6...

Im not trying to bad mouth leds, just pointing out issues one needs to consider in order to make a wise desicion regarding which led lamp is best for your specific grow set up.

I would really like to see a grow test where the grower gets between .6 and .8 grams per watt (600 and 800 grams) and get the same yield with 465 watts of led. The bysen my buddy is using has 160 leds and pulls 175 watts. Thats 1.09 watt per led and a little less since some of the power is...

I disagree, par is a measurement of light intensity in the frequencies used in photosynthesis and light intensity, depending on the led efficiency, is completely determined by the wattage. Of course if your spectrum is off then more wattage will do little good, but assuming you have appropriate...

What you wrote GreenGuy is true. However, in your post you are comparing watt to watt. I also believe that watt to watt leds are better but my point was that 330watts of led are not equivalent to 1000hid. Maybe 650 to 750 watts of led are equivalent to 1000hid. Anyways, a buddy of mine is doing...

Congratulations for a solid and genuine led grow. However, a point regarding the lamp replacing a 1000 watter. Correct me if Im wrong Green guy, but based on the photos it's hard to imagine doubling the production with just that lamp. That means that it would be extremely hard to reach 600g if...

Might as well play the guessing game while we wait. Im guessing 8 to 10 z's. Hard to tell with no reference object on the pics during the grow.

Are these the same as the apollo lights?

Very nice grow, but I wouldnt say those are 1000 watt hps results.

Check out this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/346874-monster-cropping-increasing-yield.html Apparently, I clone taken from a mother well into flowering will produce a plant that branches like crazy.

Pretty stuff indeed. I am so rooting for this grow. Your on pace to providing a significant contribution in putting to rest the whole led/hps debate. By the way, what height is the lamp now?

Still, I think its wise that when trying a new strain it is better to stay on safe side and not veg too much until one gets to know the strain. Especially in tents where overgrown plants can become a serious problem. Is your buddy's plant stretching more or less the same? Also, if you dont mind...

Hear that! Ive been on the fence with leds for at least 2 years now. Im hoping your grow will make me finally pull the trigger but again, been here before. So time will tell like you said. By the way, have you had a chance to see how your buddy's plant is doing? The one you showed a couple of...

Nice. This is starting to get interesting. Do you think its possible that the reason why its so difficult to find successful grows with led lights on the net is because the good growers that have obtained great results wanna keep the technology for themselves, as in keeping an edge over the...

Those ladies look very healthy. At what height do you have the lights at right now? Do you know the spectrum and their ratios? Really looking sweet, good vibes for your project dude

2-3 weeks more of vegging? That sounds like a lot given they are already 16-18 inches unless this strain doesnt stretch much during bloom. Appreciate the report, very informative.
