I'm not really sure what you mean? You could use mirrors to surround a plant, but mylar over something solid would be better.

Haven't been on in a while so never bothered to update but I ended up chopping her on the 10th because she wasn't looking any better and just continuing to deteriorate. Ended up getting a bit over a half zip of smokable bud and bout a quarter of underdeveloped bud that I threw in the cooking...

So had surgery the other week I haven't felt well enough to even water until today and hadn't thought of it beforehand so she went almost two full weeks without water. She really looks rough now, I also found out that letting the plant grow into the light actually does burn the plant pretty bad...

Plant looks good so far. Flowering is starting to progress nicely, a good number of bud sites have started to develop. Won't have another update till a week or two from now. I'll get pics up next update to show how far along she is.

That's good to hear man. I had an issue with it the first time and had to double the amount of perlite I use this round. Have you noticed any differences so far in stretching between the two lights?

It is kind of nice that infrequent watering decreases the maintenance needed with LEDs, but I'm curious about if it may be too infrequent? For instance, would it be better to do a hempy style grow under LEDs to keep watering once or twice a week? That way the plants can better take in nutes...

No, I ended up just switching over to LED because I needed to be able to run things more stealthy. With the HPS I couldn't keep temps under 90F without an inline fan on and it was too loud. Now I just use a couple pc fans and things stay at about 80F. I have found a few options for digital 150w...

Haha that seems like a much simpler way of checking than what I was gonna do.

I'm thinking that next fall once my warranty is up I might take it apart to see if I can find part numbers for the diodes. Then it'd be a matter of just looking them up and seeing how much they are.

I know HSS advertises their lights as having 6w and 3w diodes but I think they may actually be 10w running at 6w and probably 5w running at 3w. The only pic I've seen showing how much they actually draw is from SettingSun's grow on 420Mag from a while back. He used a PPF800 and got a draw of 189w.

Have you tested a PPF400 to know that's what it draws or seen them tested somewhere? Also is that for the version one or two of the light as they may be slightly different? On the label on the back of the HSS, does it list both a typical and max wattage? I've got a version 1 unit and it says...

Don't spend your money on a 90w UFO unless it is from a reputable company. Look in the LED subforum for links to different companies and some grow journals. I think you would be okay with just a single Kessil H350 in a 2x2 space instead of using two H150's. If you decide to go with the H150's...

I agree with brimck, repotting an auto will stunt it pretty bad if you don't do it early. By cutting the bottom off the pot and burying it 2-3" down into a second pot you give the roots a lot more room without stressing them nearly as much. The big issue with this is whether height is a problem...

Slightly yeah, I was a bit too light on nutes after repotting and got some N deficiency. Added nutes to the water today though so should be better in a few days. Some of the lightness on the upper leaves is actually bleaching though from accidentally letting it grow to touching the light when I...

New pics from yesterday, 12 days since flipping to 12/12. Trimmed out a bit of lower growth but left most of it. Had to raise the light a bit yesterday, still isn't stretching as much as I'd expected it to. Pre-flowers are starting to develop into more distinct bud sites now.

For a single plant in a small area a 90w light can work very well. I replaced a 150w hps with it and am more than happy with the switch. The only exhaust required is a small desk fan or a couple pc fans to get some air moving around since this unit has no internal fans. It vegs nicer than the...

I'd stay far away from any of those types of lights. A good LED panel will be running 2 and 3w chips at a minimum of 1w each. That panel has 225 diodes running at 0.08w each for 18w total. It might grow two decent leaf sets on one plant directly below it but that's about it. And mixed spectrum...

Yep, she's been basking under the 90w sectioned off from the big light by being in the cabinet. Thanks for the compliment, I'm very happy with the light. Last round my yield was shit from two small, untrained clones (less than a foot tall each), so this time I wanted to try two slightly bigger...

So one of the two showed some balls today, not pleased. So I ripped out the herm and now the one female looks a bit lonely but oh well. This shows the tent right now. Setting up a few cfls today for the tiny ones to start under instead of the big light. The 90w is inside the cabinet...

Yup, I'm picking up some CalMag tomorrow, seems to be a really common thing with LEDs. Thanks for the heads up though man.
