Well thats about 220-250w of LED power, it sounds good enough although I don't know the lens angle or price (or have pic to give idea of quality)

LED will produce more than HID in that space if you give it equal wattage (though you can often get away with less). I think the only way you could really grow more with HID than LED watt for watt is is you are growing plants all around the bulb instead of from just one side of it (you can get...

lol you have same tent and carpet as me! nice plants too ;)

Great read. If I were one to grow to sell I would probably go with blackstar to get as much light for the $ as possible, but its just my patient and I so... went with the luxury/expensive one PS: watch out peeps, bean plant be getting light burn at 2ft from 395w LED, but the cannabis seems...

It would be far more accurate (and not difficult to calculate) to go by grams per kilo/watt hour. G per W is too simple, but in a way it can work (there is only soo much bud an amount of light can support). Theres only so much yield one can get with say a 400w HID vs a 1000w HID, but since both...

how large where their airpots and how long did they veg and how long did they flower? I have yet to hear from the people complaining about the difference in size to give some kind of time table so we can see if maybe they didn't have enough time to fill up that much volume?

how big is the airpot (5 gallon right?) and how old is the plant? I've seen a bunch of grows where the airpot plants were always more impressive than the regular pot plants they were growing with

Best deals on airpots for people in the US I could find was growers-inc.com

Damn thats way more obvious than mine! Now imagine if you had thrown some Mykos in there! My new batch of air pot plants are running FFOF, FFLW, FFOP, Black Gold, HFT&V, Mykos, Azos, dolomite lime, perlite, and uh... oh I will definitely give them more time to fill our their pots, they only...

check these out of mine, about 55 of the 252 3w LEDs appear to be blue (12 spectrums in all), last pic was off my machete sheath as it lay near the intake flap of the tent, I can clearly distinguish 8 of the 12 colors (1 of which cant be seen by humans). I don't know what the ratios are, I guess...

Cause all they know is what the shitty LEDs can do. You can avoid the losing half your lights to one dead LED if you buy from a decent company, GLH and others (not sure which but at least 1 other big one) build their models so that if 1 LED dies its the only one that goes out. If you can't spend...

I don't think any LED under $100 would be worth it, but if you are doing micro grows in a PC box then some of those ~$100 UFO (small circular LED) should be the best you can get for that price. No if the LED is worth anything it will have its own cooling fans. But LEDs do put out some heat...

people are growing too differently with too different lights the people which have tested such things as 2-4 band lights and then getting a 12 band light always seem to go with the 12s

Yeah I don't know much about all that stuff myself, but people are saying that the some of differen't chlorophyl and other bits running around in cannabis have differen't wavelength/spectrums preferences just like whole plants do (that plants like lettuce which has few preferences because its...

Or do 1 or 2 panels on a light mover! Yeah I understand that people buying panels that aren't proven definitely helps advance things, I guess I would really only suggest it for people who have little money to spend and can't afford to gamble with more than $200-300. A lot of the LED companies...

I think the only part you didn't quite get correctly was your blackstar being 240w :P (The name is right but in reality it only runs about 130-140w) Welcome hairyanglerfish, and nice name... (seems familiar somehow). You should do pretty well with that light, although I would probably act as if...

If we believe the unit actually runs on 300w and isn't simply made of 100 3w LEDs (which is how a lot of companies total the w rating instead of telling you what it actually draws which is often more about half - 2/3rds what they say), there is still no way in hell it will flower cannabis at...

I feel my plants are growing slower in early veg under my LED because the temps are cold. The 395w panel only begins to warm your hand at 2-3 inches away and the glass is barely warm at all, and it only heat the tent above the light 7 degrees above ambient. I'm in WA so its usually cold outside...

Hey LED users, just wanted to show everyone this pic I got the other day off my machete sheath as it lay outside my grow tent (home to my true 395w LED). Its 12 spectrums but I think I can only tell apart like 8 of them in this pic. There is definitely at least red and orange, blue, purple...

Most LED units suck for flower because they are just rolling the wrong LED tech (low watt, wrong lens angle, imprecise nm/wavelength/spectrum, etc). look up Irishboy and SettingSun for starters they've all done great flowering jobs with LED. Irishboy even won the first plant of the month for a...
