hey irish, did you see growled's new video on youtube showing the difference in intensity of 1w and 3w leds? can you comment on the intensity of the two your testing, does one seem to be brighter than the other?

the 180w seems to be brighter because the leds are closer together and they use wider led angles so it shoot it out to the sides towards ur eyes.
but the 126w has more on the bottom groth since it uses 60 degree leds so it shoot down alot further.
i did see that video and it look crazy, big diff on brightness from his older light.

Thank you for the close up bud shot.
Do you have any experience with LED light overexposure during flowering?
Some of my buds were like 4" away for a while until I built a screen; everything seems fine but I was seeing brown hairs 2.5 weeks flowering and that seems too early. Strains have about 8 week flowering time.
thanks

Each company will have different height from plant(s) to lamp recommendations, you want to check with the company that made your light
My light is about 6 inches away from the plants, you would also notice your plants leaves possibly twisting I think is the result of to close light
Also burnt leaves would be another sign of the light being too close
I hope this helps

I've been trying to find out if the LED's that are either blue or red instead of white are really better for a grow. Some companies are pushing their colored lights instead of whites. I noticed that one of your lights has orange lights, but the other one is white and seems to be doing even better. Any advice on this?
Yeah I tried to post some pics it would not let me on my Grow Journal?? WTF

the 126w has better veg growing as you can see and the buds look good, but the 180w has a little fatter buds so far not by whole lot though. both has about the same amount of bud sites.
but at this stage i would say the 180w is doing a little better. we wont see a big diff untill later on in week 6 or so
the bottom growth is better on the 126w but still lacking pentration threw all 3 plants. i would say the 126w is good for 1-2 plants, with my 3 plants i am realy pushing that 126w. i have to keep all 3 plants real close together to each other to fit in the foot print, witch i dont like to do i like them to be spaced out.
the 180w has pleanty of foot print to spare on 3 plants but lacks the pentration, so it a trade off for the grower depending on ur growing style.

hey irish, what does your nutrient regiment look like now? seems like you could use a bud additive about now to beef those buds up some. anyway, good job great to here an unbiased update.
