    4 Kessil H350 - 600W HID Comparison; the highlight reel

    Biobizz and Kessil? I feel such a kinship! Are you new to biobizz or do you have some experience with them? Used other nutes? I've only used Biobizz, I thought about switching but I had so many people telling me how good the taste was. Even though your flower was less dense, was the...

    4 Kessil H350 - 600W HID Comparison; the highlight reel

    1. Kessil says purple for veg, magenta for flower so that's what I followed. 2. You spent $2,500 without research? Damn. Lol. That's a valuable lesson!

    $278 Kessil H350

    I didn't bother to check if it's ok to post vendor sites or not but I wanted to let the board know about a good deal I found. I have zero affiliation with this site, this morning was the first time I've seen it. http://www.owlyn.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Kessil

    4 Kessil H350 - 600W HID Comparison; the highlight reel

    The final results are in. Notes: I did nothing to increase the yield of this crop. My only goal was to use the exact same environment and nute schedule to see what each light produced. Also I used Biobizz nutes, aka 'great taste, low yield'. Last, I only trimmed the non-popcorn bud. I'm not...

    The LED look lighter but it's hard to tell by how much which is good. I start final trimming today. I set my profile homepage to my photobucket album where I have all the pictures. I'll repost them all once I get a final weight.

    Dang, wiped out most my postings. I'm day 6 into drying. I chop and hang and it's been the perfect 55-60% humidity. I'll start trimming tomorrow and after a few days in jars I'll weigh.

    4 Kessil H350 - 600W HID Comparison; the highlight reel

    BlueB - those are BEAUTIFUL. I've never grown small plants before and have been curious about it. For my next round I have 24 Dinafem Industrial going, 3 weeks old now. They'll go into 3 qt pots for 2 weeks and then into 7 qt pots for finishing. The Kessils seems to be doing ok so I plan to...

    4 Kessil H350 - 600W HID Comparison; the highlight reel

    First thing, the yellowing on the HID was not a fair comparision. Not all the HID plants are that yellow. The heat issue can't be ignored with the HID. I figure it's some 2-3 degrees cooler on the floor of the tent for the LED's. I'm thinking the heat is causing more uptake, thus more yellowing...

    LED pics Top view. There isn't much color variation like with the HID. HID pics - I took less HID pics this time around Top view.

    3 weeks flowering. I chose new control plants because the yellowing one wasn't a true rep for the HID crowd. You'll see what I mean when you see the HID group. Also, since these are seeds there are short ones and tall ones so I've chosen two control plants from each group. Overall, they are...

    Local shop; they gave me a great deal at $375 as long as I photo journaled the whole thing.

    711 - sorry to sound so pissy in my last post. I didn't mean to come across that way. "i truly hate hid lighting for many reasons but it sure pumps out some product..." Amen I'm certainly committed to putting out the $ to fully test these and hope others can benefit from that.

    The local grow shop tried to talk me out of the LEDs and into the HO T5. I just had to test these for myself. If this project were to fail, I'd try the T5's though. LED = no bulb replacement for years and years. If these work well, that is going to payoff bigtime.

    4 Kessil H350 - 600W HID Comparison; Dinafem seeds

    No curtain. I thought about it and then figured that if there is substantial light loss at only a 12" drop, the plants on the kessil side will recieve very little usable light. They are 3' (ish) and off to the side. Overall, it doesn't really matter to me as I'm going full Kessil next grow...

    4 Kessil H350 - 600W HID Comparison; the highlight reel

    I am currently running 8 plants on each side of the tent. That's 8 under the 600W and 8 under the 4 Kessils. The next run will be 12 plants each in 2 gallon plastic pots. I don't like having to use two hands to lift a pot. I have grown larger plants before, but because I only need to fill...

    Psuagro. 2 by 2 is right. They say 3 by but I wanted a realistic comparison. Once this goes well I'll buy 4 more to replace the remaining HID. No more noisy inline fans! No more cooling problems. The Kessil fan is not loud at all. Even all 4 fans together are pretty quiet. Greener and...
