ive grown some killer dank from bag seed you just gotta find that special lady and keep cloning her. out of 6 bagseeds you may find a couple keepers a couple hermies a couple dank but small yeilders and you may find a couple craptacular poop buds. you just gotta be sure to have labld copiesof them all throw awa the crap and keep ms. dankk nuggets and keep on cloning her

Im using just bag seeds for now and then cloning my girls. So idk if thatll effect how much my yield is but im willing to find out!!!!

people always say this but 700w is still 700w especially when you could use a 600w and properventilation for the same 700w and the same $300. I guess they look cool

yes its the same watts, but the point of Leds is that you can use lower wattage like 125w but still produce similar yeild as a higher power unit.

ohhhhh so he should be able to produce like 3 pounds from that 700w. I wonder why comercial growers don't use leds then, hmmm i wonder maybe because thats a bunch of b/s show mw a grow where this has been true.

Simmilar yields yes with lower wattage not more.. but for a lower wattage (lower electric bill) youll get about the same yield as an hps bulb thatll put out 600 watts of power(higher electric bill) theres goods and bads about every light. Leds no heat hps alot of heat hps denser buds led just about as good and so on its tricky and confusing but i like my lED lights and they are working great so far!!

In simple.terms a 240 watt LED light will produce just about as much of a yield as a 600 watt hps with a lower electric bill and its easier to keep temps level with no heat being given off. Also great for stealth grows if your in a state that isnt legal ;)

So tussel he is kind of right. Almost spot on lol. . He didnt say i could grow 3 lbs he just said thatll grow a similar yield as compared to a higher wattage bulb in a different class or category :) thanks.for the posts guys.keep it up and id love some rep if you think i deserve it!!

I will be waiting here for you to prove it. if wat your saying is true than you can pull off your700w what i could from a 1000, so that means you should be able to pull like 2-2.5 pounds from that not sure how big your room is but it doesn't look big enough to fit enough plant to produce it... I just cant see it where is the proof who has done it? show me the link.

Try that link watch some of those videos and go to the related videos also theres alot too watch :) read what wattage light they are using too before judging. Some people rag on LEDs but dont know how to grow. If you know what your doing LEDs are the best hands down PERSONALLY my opinion

Look up videos on youtube where comercial growers do us Led. Im not sayin your going to get ridiculous yeild results. But people do use them because it is effective and cheap.

I wish I had as much room as you!
Grown w/only one 400w hid and didn't fit through through the door when finished. Power was about .75 cents a day.

Thats one plant dude and my buds are as big as that and im only 3 weeks into flower lol and my bill is nothinggg lol also i have 6 plants compared to your one. Thanks for the info tho. Try adding side lighting to your plant theres no bud on the lower branches and theres quite a bit of stretching goin on

But again thanks for the input.and advice decent looking bud ill give ya rep for that :)

Also look up topping and fimming i would fim it at a certain point so it will grow outward rather than upward sooo much or keep the light lower idk what ya did lol but not terrible by.any means
