This is all in the link I posted. Did you read it?

Yeah I was wrong, I had a headache earlier.
1/3 to 1/2 ounce not pound that was my problem, pretty obvious a single cola SOG couldn't be 1/2 pound. sorry, I feel stupid.
And I'm sure it is with more than liter pot and more than 125 watts

Also all this yield info is per plant. I know that's the most logical way for a breeder to describe yield because who knows what light/pot someones going to use.
More useful would be per watt. For example If you put one plant under a 1000watt light and grew it single cola style your grams/watt would be horrible. If you filled the light foot print with plants grown the same way grams/watt would be like 16 times more, see what I mean.


Still .168 grams/watt seems abysmal. Could you fit more plants in the light footprint of that 125watt CLF? If you could fit three plants under it you would get normal HID size yields right? 21*3=63grams/125watts=0.504grams/watt

What about everything I wrote after the link I posted? None of it was based on my mistake, it should all hold true and there are some questions I'd really like to get answered if you have time.

Right on!
I hope to be an LED user soon, just a little unsure what actual spec to shop for still and not really confident I will be able to mach my HID yields.
maybe you already mentioned it, but what kind of yields are you looking to match and in what size space? Based on that we can probably suggest some specs to suit your needs.

Anyone have results to post? I've seen some decent size nugs from led but they def were not tight and dense.

I want to use led for veg instead of my t-5's

What are the actual specs to look at when shopping?

Picture proof that led can get it done, please.
When your shopping for LED, be sure you check the angle. You want 60degree LED's... 90degree will work also but not as well... and stay away from the 120degree or its variables unless your just using it to light up a room.

I was growing that in a pc box,and my concern is not yield its quality,but yeah I have seen plants that are under a 600 hps only pull of a half oz before,etc which is what that article I posted states,at the moment I am growing this under a LED, which most people would say wont produce a yield,well she has 2 weeks max left and is only under a 90 watt LED and looks like this :D

Thanks for the info, I did run across a company that stated their light were superior because of the 60 degree angel and it makes sense.

I would like to at least yield about 0.5grams/watt. I get more like 0.8grams/watt with HID's when I do a strain I'm familiar with.
So I would like to be able to get LED lighting equivalent to (5) 10000 watt HPS light, and at least 2500 grams.

Many company's sell lights which are marketed to be the equivalent of a 1000watt HID but because LED companies use PAR and HID's use lumens I cant make a real number comparison.
I just wish that I could find out the PAR output of HID's. The only HID bulb that I have found which gives its PAR output is this one,
http://www.bghydro.com/BGH/itemdesc.asp?ic=HLRBHPS10LTK&eq=&Tp=
because other manufactures of HID bulbs don't list PAR I cant be sure this is any more than most HID bulbs.

At 1798 its is more PAR light than any LED unit I have found. The closet I've found is a 500watt LED unit that put out about 1500 micromoles,
Of course the LED unit has some other advantages.

Is there anyone out there who has filled their LED light footprint and knows how many grams they yielded. Without filling the footprint you never know what it could have yielded.

have you guy seen this site? seems like good info.

This is my UK Cheese i have them under 135 watts or cfl and have approximately 4-6 more weeks of flowering to go

If you'll notice, that's a thinly veiled affiliate site. Most of the reviews linking to the lights he's trying to steer you towards will insert a hidden cookie via a php redirect which gives him credit for the sale when you buy a particular light.

In other words, he's doing it for the money. He gets a commission every time someone buys from one of those links.

So take whatever he says there with a carton full of salt - and maybe a margarita, as well. ;)


-TL


P.S. Cammie 'My Granny Was A Tranny, Too' McKenzie has a couple of 'review' sites out there linking directly back to h(is)ers that (s)he wrote h(im)erself, too. Be wary. :finger:
