I just got one of these and it is better than my previous ufo. Thinking of adding another right away. Is anyone else using H350. If so how is it working for you?
Anyone else using Kessil LED Lights?

Only thing wrong with kessils is the price "imo" .. overall, they are great for supplementing (a) fuller spectrum.. (I have vegg'd with just using kessils only, but I have not gone through a full bloom cycle with just LEDs, gotta have HIDs for that ump~)
The h150 blues are great for seedlings and veggin'..

Huh? Which light is that?

I have to agree, pricey bit well designed. I was considering two H350M for use in flowering a single plant. For now the I am using one with 300 actual watts of cfl to suppliment.

Honestly, I still use CFLs for veggin (oldie but goodie) , and yes.. kessils is way overpriced..

I use cfls for veg too. I want to use multiple Kessils for flowering. So far I am getting good results from one 350 Magenta directly over the tops.

*The spectrum isn't diverse (like it doesn't cover the whole spectrum) its more "centralized" --like if you needed to boost blues or reds..
I would say at least 2 per plant (via H150s) to get results that won't disappoint, and that depends on your personal goals.. (That is why I still flower with HIDs for the yields)

I am totally pleased with it. The H350 Magenta I am using puts out 2.5 times the light of the 150 units. It is very intense and focused and one 350 penetrates deep into the plant. I see much more red spectrum in this light and flowers are loving that...and swelling up. I think that one 350 has a plants tops covered well. However with two 350's I dont think I'd need any supplimental cfl's. The 150 units are supplimental only. Considering the high cost of the 150's Id just buy 350's because the are 3x more intense, and come in Magenta and Purple.
I finished a Kessil H350 grow with fluorescent sidelighting just about a month ago. I have purchased four Kessil H350 magentas and the spectral spinner which I think is very worthwhile to provide good coverage of your plants. I just finished diying two strip type led lights which will be used to replace the fluorescents for sidelighting. I'm also going to diy a couple fixtures for the spectral spinner which I will use to tailor the spectrum more for each stage of growth - royal blue fixture for veg, white to balance spectrum and far red for flower. And all of this diying and being generally busy has delayed my getting the next grow started...must get back to work...
I have grown more bud but never better than I did last grow.

I was trippin at how small my Kessil 350 Magenta was when it arrived. Then I turned it on and was like SWEET! Its really bright and focused. I noticed right away how deeply it penetrated into my foliage. Within 3 days I could see my flowers really swell up and get denser! I am going to ultimately add a second 350 later this month. The 150 Kessils look good for supplimental light, but they are so expensive it makes more sense to pay a few bucks more and get another 350 (3x the intensity of the 150).

How many plants did you grow with four Kessils? How much is the spinner that holds four 350's?

I agree that cfl's are cheap and best for vegging. I am using kessils for flowering only.

*How was your results with flowering with only kessils?

This grow with the Kessil 350 is not quite finished, maybe a week to go. But I see a noticeable improvement. I did however use 300 watts of cfl's as supplemental lighting on the sides. Next grow I will add a Kessil and use two exclusively. I will be sure and document it so you can see.

Do you have any other lighting on those 3 plants other than 2 Kessil 350's? Post pics soon.
