Guys,
I purchased two of these red cased 800 Watt COB lights, as described above,.. 1 from anjeetledtubelight, and the other from e-bright off of Ebay. They seem to be "ok", I guess. I even gave them a review - prematurely (I think) because, they wont sell anymore to me now, unless I pay the "trending price". I used to use, 4 450 watt led lights, that later I found out to be 300 watts after the lights started to lose rows of leds by burning out, or something. Still, I was getting good to a little more than above average yields, but thinking I could do much better, I tried these Cobs in a 4x8 tent, but only using 4x4 of it. I tried growing 4 plants this summer, three of which didnt make it, one was a male, and two switched sex's on me. One turned out to be pretty decent - considering-but with seeds,...grrrr! Anyway,..I am going to still try to get a couple more 800's somehow, and see if I can't beef them up some. But, heres where I'm at a loss. I don't know jack diddly about anything electrical, but sure am willing to learn. From what I read above, and with the links - its possible, from what I understand. So,....I need a coach. Right now, I believe I have a couple weeks left for this one plant to finish, after that I have nothing else growing - for the time being, which will give me some time to beef these lights up and hopefully, later on this fall or winter I can get two more.
For, the most part, when I first recieved these lights, they were white, ...a few months later - they're red or pink. Anyway, taking pics with a cellphone isnt very good. I am letting this plant stretch, and stretch beyond its limit. As you can see the Trichomes are still pretty white here for Panama Red plant. I just stunted its growth by putting it into flower earlier than normal, and as you can see its not to shabby. a
As you can see, the Veg stage with these lights are just fine and dandy, everything seems to me, to be normal. All 4 plants were put into Flower stage on this day, I just took some pics to have fun with. Anyway, I decided that since I still have a pile of it left from growing outside last year, that I'd let this pant bud out as long as I could, and it is. Right after this, the male showed up and a couple days later the Hermies showed up.
So, yeah I could use some coaching when it comes to lights rather than play around to very much. lol
Thnx,.....and keep on aToke'n!
