Have you tried this company yet.....https://hydroponicshut.com/

Sorry, haven't tried anything from hydroponicshut. I've done research on their pro-grow series and they are giving people positive results. I like how you can switch spectrums by hitting a switch. I think if I were to buy another panel I might consider theirs for that reason. I'm also intrigued by that 50w plasma bulb they have as supplemental lighting...future experimental grow?....quite possibly later on this year I might do a lil testing

I chose GLH and I don't consider myself a fanboy (as I tell people what I'd go with for less or more $) I want to hear as much about this incident as anyone so I know if I want to continue business with glh. I agree, the website has no excuse though, its been that way since last year (except for the small text update in the product pages). It can't be that hard to get a friend or pay someone to update the pictures... especially with all the panels GLH claims to sell-GLH should submit to the refund or also offer an exchange for a new one, that panel must have something wrong with it if people are using more powerful ones at 2 ft from seedlings with no bleaching or issues like that.

hydroponics hut is on my list to, nothing about their claims seems to be bullshit, and the specs of the product should grow good. I'll add them to my list along with (in no particular order) Blackstar, Isis, GLH, Magnum, and 1 or 2 others I can't recall atm

I like your list. mine is very similar. I'd add hydroponicshut in there as possible alternatives as well as advancedled (i use these) and black dog, and I've heard good things about stealthgrow.

I am currently using their 550W unit, here is the thread to it in use, so far it looks alright but still at least 4 weeks away from ready.

Looks good, the kind of set up I'd have gone for (two 290s in an appropriately sized tent). How old were they at flip? My plants had been showing preflowers for 3weeks before I flipped and they were definitely flowering after 3 days of 12/12 with my 395w GLH in a 2.5x2.5x6 tent (dear god so much light...). What size is that tent?
 
Hey Guys,

Genetics are Reservoir Sour Diesel IBL, nothing else competes IMO ;)

The tent is about 3x5x7. Since it is rectangular in shape, LED's seemed like a smart fit. I love modular growing setups, as I am always changing the amount the plants i have, and grow style. Being able to easily add and subtract lights makes my life easier.

Plants had about a 50 day veg with a topping in there somewhere before flip.

They started showing sex about a week ago, however too early to tell. looking like lots of males though :(
 
IMG_5291.jpgIMG_5265.jpgIMG_5277.jpgIMG_5249.jpgIMG_5254.jpgI am finishing up my 3rd LED grow. My system is about 1000 W and draws about 650W while covering a 4 x 6' area. It consists of 1 Hydroponics hut 180, 1 generic 300W chinese panel, 2 Blackstar 240 vegg models and 2 H150 Magenta kessils. Have 1 more week till harvest. Here are some pics.

I have a spectra 290w led from growledhydro. I am not happy at all. First off I never received any paper work, no manual, how to maintenance, not even a bill of sale. If I were to resale the lite I wouldn't even be able to proove it was 290w.

When I got my lite I started a 12 strain grow w/ different auto's. I germed them in their pots rite under the lite at 18" away. They sprouted fine & almost rite away begain to turn white, so I move the lite up to 24" thinking they were just to close for that intense of a lite. It doesn't help so I move that lite back out & put a 400w hps in there. In 2 weeks they've recovered nicely. In the mean time I got in touch w/ the owner/mfg & he tells me that the intensity of the lite requires more nutes for the plants. This don't make sense to me being they are seedlings. So I take the hps out & put the led back in, at six weeks old they had all turned white & all but died.

After all that I put the lite away for a while & got it out in hopes it would be better for flowering. I put a super auto under this time two weeks into flower. It started to turn her leaves white as well, so I moved the lite up to 28" above the canopy & doubled up on nutes as Mike(the mfg/owner) suggested & it did help.

So the lite is 5' off the floor & 28" above the canopy. So I start 5 reg autos, germ them rite in the pot under the lite which is 4'+ from the seedlings. They never turned white but the node spaceing was so close that they never got above 1½" tall in 4 weeks. I don't like my led at all & I've talked to Mike 3x times w/ little to no help. I really want him to honor his $ back guarantee & have told him. He first toldme outa 200 of them that he's sold since march 1 I'm the only one that's complained but I've met several other on different forums that have had similar issues& have said they've talked to him.

So Mike sent me a new lite....yeah! I really hope it was just a technical thing, he said he was going to use my old one for a test grow. He did say 2 other people had exact problems & he already was testing their lites. Just got it today & just germed 3 Jock & 2 hindu kush. Going to vegg under T5' for 2 weeks & then flower under the led. Thanx for the earlier responses.

Why not veg under your LED?

No reason to use more electricity than you need to I suspect. That and I had an issue with my seedlings going straight to the LED, they grew more nodes than HPS but were half the size/height they should have been after a month. Keeping my seedlings under CFL for 4-8 days before LED at 2ft does the trick though (at least for me and my 395w, it gives them a chance to grow 'energy' leaves before growing tons of nodes that must grow slowly because of how many other new nodes are being pushed out)
