Things got outta control really fast... The 69 is now 69x2. I am forced to add the a51 xgs 190 with the Ecosunlite Cree9. Will add the 55x3 Sunday also. I wanna get as much out of her as I can.
I bought a 600w hps bulb earlier cause the one I had seemed to me that it didn't gave enough light. I wasn't testing it in the grow room. Got the new bulb, mounted it over the plant and same thing happened, not enough visible light... and that heat...
Anyways, hope I learned the "hps sux " lesson.

HPS far from sucks bud. If you're not getting enough light out of a new bulb I would venture to guess you're using a big, wide hood? Big hoods drastically reduce the density of the light but do increase the spread. A 600 in a big hood will look like nothing basically.
Try a small DayStar or Phantom hood. I use one w/ a 600 & it puts out more intensity/density then my 1000 watt in the big Raptor hood. Hoods are important as to how much light you'll get back. They are made in different sizes & shapes to coincide w/ your grow style & needs. Hope this helps!
You have an Eco Cree-9 cobbler? That's their biggest one right? I'd like to see it if you don't mind? Those are interesting lights to me. I like how they enhanced burple rather then enhanced white.
I own Amare & it performs better then I ever expected LED to perform. I did a thread on it vs. my Hydroponics Hut Pro-Grow X5-500. The Amare SE-450 yielded me 18.5 oz. in the bag & another 3 for oil from not Loli-popping. The HH only gave me back 7 oz for the bag n 2 in pop-corn.
Same strain cloned from the same branch. Both in a 4'x4'.
I'm real interested to see how the EcoSun does on its own. I'll stay tuned.

The hood is actually small but shitty. I'm dead broke right now so can't afford anything. I'm saving for the Pro9IC, not really saving since I don't have any lol but I have it on my heart. The eco isn't the Cob one, it's 3w diodes only. I have it for a year I think and it is OK, but I'm not expert and I didn't had many lights in hand. Also newish to growing...

Wow! You plan on getting The Pro-9 IC?! That's so fucking awesome!
I know a few guys that own one & love it. I've been wanting one since the day they came out.
It's absolutely the best & only led DE exceeded replacement IMO.
I'm waiting on my Pro-4's now.
Youve had an Eco for a year? Didn't know they were out that long. I like the COB version ones but think the company is a joke. They sent my buddy BigSmo a light w/ the wrong cord. A European one & told him to jamb/force it into the U.S. Socket or buy one on e-bay. They didn't even sends him one. So, 2 months later & he still can't use his light rail.
Could you show us your light array? Thnx!
See what I mean about the hoods? A 600 watt HPS gets me up to a pound off one plant. Properly vented, HPS rocks!

Pretty cool array! What's the 2 cob light called? Nice plant!

Thanks! The purple led is a Twilight Spyder. I hate to say but I like the Ecosunlite light over the a51. I keep it 1m above seedlings and no stretch, when the a51 must be 40cm at most or the stretch like crazy. The built is more legit on the a51.

I will replace the spyder with the Esl 90w one, I think it's better and really need to fix the big one... Next week I will make time for that.

What's a esl90? Is that cluster in the Eco blown? Warranty?
Do not like the spyder?
I was goin to get something similar once.

It was real expensive but I wanted one to see how burple would do.
Have you ever flowered a plant under just your Spyder or Eco? I wondered how they did?
I tried a pinkish blueish burple against enhanced white. The enhanced white blew it away.
Have you considered the A-51 in the middle & the to burples on either side, trying to blend them?

Esl90w - http://www.ecosunlite.com/m/e_productshow/?24-Par-LED-Grow-light-24.html
I think the cluster is burned, I have warranty, the manager keeps asking me to check the problem so they can send me the parts to replace.
The spyder is 90w, I think, that's what they told me I never checked, but to be effective it must be at 30 cm max height and it will have a very low coverage, if I take the lenses off it has 0 penetration. I guess low price cob's, idk.
Never did flower just under one, one tent one led but I was just checking the LUX readings (phone application), I know it's low tech but I get 60-65% more from the Ecosunlite Cree9 then from a51. Wish I had a PAR meter, I would put my money on Ecosunlite.
I need to rearrange the leds, maybe use this aplicaton to get an evenish coverage...

I took some fast pics this morning, being late for work and all.
I added the small Ecosunlite, taught to check what my phone application sais about the LUX and I was amazed. Now if you wanna get a cheep small ass led, I vouch for this small unit, and it is not CREE, it's the cheap stuff.

Took some more pics this morning.
She is drinking 3L every 2 days.
I feed her Advanced Nutrients: 4ml/L Sensi Bloom A/B, 2ml/L B52, Big Bud, Nirvana, Rhino Skin, Sensi Zym, Carbo Load, 1ml/L Sensi Xtra CaMg.

Youre lucky you didn't buy an Ecosunlite fixture with cobs man. If mine are on, my tent gets in the low 90s. So fuckin hot. The xpes run cool though. Iwish I had their 2x4 all xpe fixture honestly. Cause now I gotta take out all the drivers in mine to open it up for adequate airflow to happen and mount 2 meanwells on the top of it or remotely. Probably remotely just so I have all the room I can squeeze height wise.

I feel you man. I ALWAYS had heat problems. At least you have pretty lights, and powerful. I wanted to replace some monos with cob's but the case is to small for what I intend. So I have a friend working on an air cooled case. Man that will look awful, I can sense it :)))

Thanks! Indeed, she is swelling nicely. She is covering 90cm x 90cm. I will take her out of the tent. Actually I will take the tent out of the room, add some hangers cause tonight she will have some company.
