I took 5 lowers lol , figured I'd play it safe
The strain I cut from is just doing so well I had to do it . Plants are thriving so I don't think it's gonna hurt .
I'm definitely looking forward to putting all of my lights into action and seeing how well the At600 performs compared to Kind . The Kind has done really well for vegging so I'm hoping it does the same for flower

I've been using a Platinum LED P4-XML2 for a little over a month now. This is my first grow, but the results are pretty impressive. What I like most about the light is there are 3 different settings that can be used, or any combination. Supposedly this light is capable of replacing a 600W ballast set up, while running at only 380W.

When I just began, for seedlings/early veg I had purchased a GalaxyHydro 300w equivalent LED light. My initial impressions were that it was small, and there was no way I could supply enough light to my full grown plants with it, especially through flowering! I did some rigorous research and considered Kind LED lights, and others, however Platinum LED stood out to me because of the build quality, cool design, and their switches which allowed for three different light settings.

I love this light. It supplies a tremendous amount of light to the plants, and the plants love it! I have had it on the high setting for a little over a month for the final stage of vegetative, and am very pleased with the results. The light is quiet, runs cool (has 4 fans inside of light), and has some excellent build quality.

Lastly, when I had trouble with rattling in one of the fans I just called up the company and they sent me a new fan. I was able to replace the rattling fan (bearings were bad) and it has been running like a champ ever since!

Bro I hope you have great luck with your grow. FYI Platinum has a shitty reputation for both quality and integrity. Search around riu and you'll find all kinds of shitty info about PLED. For example Pled was so fucking slimy on 420 that they were booted off the site. You'll notice that PLED does not advertise here. If they did it would be a catastrophe.

We all start somewhere. My first light was a mars 900. I grew some flowers with it. After i had a light failure I came to DIY and got legit.

Youre in the right place.

Thanks for the info! I honestly had no idea about their reputation. The light I ordered is one of their newest models, so I was hopeful that it would have some decent quality and longevity to it.

I think the platinum led will probably help produce more than enough for most people. There are hundreds of different led combinations available. Like me and many others out there we refers directly to the web and once we see the par comparisons tests some of the major led company's perform its usually enough to click on the purchase button if it fits our needs.

There was a dozen pages bashing kind, yes mine shit the bed but how can such a terrible light produce such high par readings. How can it beat out the spyder which is much more expensive.
I'm giving up on led and sending mine back just so you all know but after reading here I'm convinced these company's sell inferior products.

What makes the area51 or the amare light so much better than the platinum for instance?
I'm not sticking up for the company's I'm just curious. I have 2 friends now that have filled rooms with 4000 watts each of kind LEDs. They are producing huge numbers. I talked to the guys at the grow shop who use the spyders and swear by them. What makes theirs better than mine?

I'm a member on another site and they have a huge section dedicated to Mars lights for instance. It's filled with great reviews. To my knowledge that's the least expensive light on the market with the worst reputation from my readings. How are so many people doing so well with them?

This is my LED light. There are many like it but this one is mine. My light is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my light is useless. Without my light I am useless. I must set my timer true. I must keep relative humidity, the mold is trying to kill my trees. I must shine my light and neem them before they are out of control.. I will. Before JAH I swear this creed: my light and myself are defenders of my irie awesome fire, we are the masters of many trades, we are the saviors of medical patients. So be it, until there is the prefect light, peace and humptiness forever....fo sho.

Unless those huge numbers are like ~15 lbs every 2 months they're not doing all that well for LEDs. It's easy to do "big numbers" with several thousand watts. If you pulled terribly with 4K watts you'd still be pulling 5+ pounds.
