I have pics of my last harvest somewhere, when I find them I'll post those (the grow where some plants got the LED 2ft from seedling pop and had the insane nodes). Yeah I'm still using Earth Juice, I bubble it for 12-24 hours and never ever PH test and the plants seem fine! How are you liking...

Hey Irish, sorry if this is too close to the top of the page, but the thread was slow? I've been busy with summer work and a bit lazy with logging, but here are some pics of my latest 395w GLH grow with 9 plants in .8 gallon air pots. Had them in a pc grow box for a bit before going under the...

yup, depends on the situation. Absolutely its still way too expensive, but its not TOO expensive for everyone. People who have to deal with a lot of heat will love how little heat LED produces (my 395w LED puts out less than 20% as much heat as my 400wdigital HPS system did). Also most panels...

No, thats a cheap knock off. I've seen a better attempt but I don't remember from what company, I don't think there will better than air pots or smart pots

Yeah I don't know if I believe the 'as good quick as hydro', but I think there is no reason not to use them *except maybe one may end up having to feed/water more often because the plant grows better? and some people might not have the time I think I plan to eventually get one of those ring...

They seem to work better to me, especially in all the comparison grows I've seen. They definitely keep your plant from wasting energy on root circling and instead filling in the soil with more roots! *If you use mykos too it starts to look like shredded wheat its so crazy I've never ordered any...

People also spend too much time talking about the fact that they are arguing without contributing to the LED talk in their posts :P On that note, sry I haven't been keeping you guys up to date on my grow. I started a summer job and the hours have kept me from my plants for almost all the...

No downside to transplanting, just unroll/unwrap the side right off! It should be less stressful as its simply removing the contact point, where as with normal pots you slide the root mass out which drags roots along the traditional pot. Don't worry about transplanting stress, air pots should...

You're saying one thing, I said another. I didn't say a 90 degree lens on a 1w diode can't make it equal to a 3w without a lens or a wider one. When all other factors are the same, and the only difference is the lens angle... then no a 90 != anything other than 90 Blackstar has new 2011 units...

nice joke :P

They use ~140w (some people claim their killowatt meter says less) to my knowledge, and I would compare them to a 250w hps in the right hands. I believe good LED panels can compete with half the wattage of HPS, I'm not sure if Blackstar is that good but its damned close enough if not *I still...

I think I see a lot of silly thoughts here 120 degree lens cannot possible work the same/aswell as a 90 degree lens (they are 2 differen't angles!). Panels won't get larger, that makes individual units too expensive and people won't buy those because they want LED to be cheaper. If you spread...

I agree, 45w of LED panel (2-3w per fan?) per square foot with 4x180s is plenty enough too. I run a 2011 395w GLH (same number of diodes as the new 500w) at 62w per square foot (counting fans) in my space and I think its twice what is reasonable If you plan to only ever use them in 4x4 or...

2.5 feet is not far enough apart. You gotta remember that each light is good for at least 1.5ft in any direction. I advise putting 3 or 4 feet between them

If any cannabis plants are growing well under the lights, then it can't be the light. The plants might not like the light for some reason (too much or not enough), but if some plants seem to like it while others don't... Then I'd say the problem is not the light itself. There are many other...

It would be ~280w with two 240w Blackstars as far as I know, some people claim their watt readers say less than 140 each (but I'm pretty sure its 140-145 from what most owners have said) I promise I'm not a salesrep or have gotten paid or anything like that. I don't know any coupon codes...

10 4x4 tents?!?!?!??! Dang is that gonna be expensive, I would love to hear what you end up getting and seeing any journals though for sure! If it was me I'd either go 20 290s or 20*-30 180s * I think two 180s would be adequate for a 4x4 if you're not crazy mad about maxing yields for that...

I think it will be difficult to see them become much cheaper with never ending inflation, a crappy economy, rising cost of transportation and products because of oil, etc I don't think it will get much cheaper for awhile unless the market is flooded with so many more LED sellers that they...

I imagine the discount for forum members has something to do with GLH being a sponsor of this website*? *pretty sure it is or was once

oh shame on me for doing in once months ago? I never once said blackstar couldn't produce bud, I never put down blackstar except for the wattage thing, I know they are not lieing but most people will read that and assume its the total wattage of the panel and it isn't. Go ahead and find some...
