Testing Osram's 150w horticultural LED fixture V1= Monochromatic dream or nightmare??:)

So what's your assessment of this fixture thus far? Coverage area? Impression on the growth habit under this spectrum?

You got around 3x2 to play with, go over and you better break out some creative training methods. It's a general purpose mono panel, great for vegging everything from canna to basil with decent results in flower depending on strain choice. Adding "white" and 730nm is a better spec for flower............should be available on the zelion fixtures soon??

Osram's pricing structure sucks, didn't have to chrome the power cord nuts and powder coat everything ..............definitely will go the distance on longevity from it's build quality though. It's opinionated if worth the cost and need the ip65+ul/etl certs.....

I just found out i am Italian.. just enjoyed a nice Syrah from Australia and later a Malbec, cabernet blend from Argentina. I am feeling very international right about now. PSUAGRO we will open up my wine cellar if you make it to town (Have a few Brunellos, Barbaresco's...).....

That's a very nice offer!...........I might take you up on it, anywhere near philly?ha. I'm on an aglianico kick right now, it's cheap I'll bring some vegan grown NL buds, gonna have allot of it I think.


Forgot about daylight savings and had to take some quick pics during lights off........update time


Round 2 Day 98 of 12/12 from seed under Osram's " vividgrow's v2 cousin" led fixture (125w)=== with my 3 NL bitches

...........half the girls are all leaning against the door and the one velcro strap can't hold them together anymore===mostly out of coverage area . It's that time for the two to get cut down, amber count yesterday was around 20%, so i'll try to get to it in the next couple of days.

........remaining girl will have the light to herself till finish.


be safe and happy growing RIU

So those are three NL seedlings? That looks like a lot of growth from 125W of anything Those lower buds with the orange hairs look pretty chunky and the tall ones are still raging! Harvest report and gpw please!

Well did you know playing cards with Kenny Rogers gets old pretty fast

For 125 watts looks like you'll have a great yeild!

Yes three NL girls(1 died at germ in my typical fashion), using sensi seeds and a 30 gal pot will look impressive................try it yourself; Also still hitting over 800 ppm CO2 in the apt. Allen Iverson would dismiss it, but PRACTICE does help as well.........lol, I do finally have the "feel" on ROLS/vegan ferts imo.

will scale it up at the end as always grower...........

Well did you know that using NL is like cheating? oh yeah, you coined the phrase...........it's true

yep, the #s should be pretty good

I literally haven't done anything productive since getting up today, nice out, should probably take advantage of it............or not. Don't really feel like watching the Pat's stay undefeated........ha, jealousy sucks.


Round 2 Day 105 of 12/12 from seed under Osram's " monos are utter shit" led fixture (125w)== with my 3 NL bitches

Last girl has been enjoying the light to herself, should come down next sundayissshhh. That big lower bud you saw in the front of the pot was actually a supercropped branch from this lady , had to run some wire to bring it up to the light.

.........hate trimming and it shows, top of this panel makes for a good drying rack PPMS still rocking, turned off the oscillating fan and slowed down the exhaust for drying.....that's it, finally coming to an end.

be safe and happy growing RIU

Have a bunch of shit to do today , so let's make this quick......damn! it's dark out already,lol


Day 115 of 12/12 from seed under Osram's "festive" led fixture(125w)== with my last NL girl, final chop

, didn't have time on Sunday to cut her down, so today it is; no water for a week. Super-cropping delayed maturity by 7+days, had no choice really as this special girl was taking over the grow closet.

.........probably will out yield both of her other pot partners combined, have more on top of the fixture

..........party cup girl loving the space now, no hanging. Threw most of the crappy lower buds in with the trim/stems. Ate some and decided I have enough weed to last awhile(don't feel like baking either), better off as fertilizer when I till it into the pot.....ha

will scale it all up in a week and then paper bag/ freezer cure


be safe and happy growing RIU

It's that time of year for a trip out to the burbs for family time (drinking and yelling italian style),....................... all the buds are ready for the freezer cure, actually first chop ladies are too dry. So lets scale up these bitches

had to use two containers to weigh as I needed the largest plastic container I have in the apt, small green under for balance before the tare...

...........so 251g dry off of 125w, not bad at all. This does not include exhaust and circulation fan wattages as usual, didn't really use the shitty/worthless dehumidifier since installing active exhaust.

Things to remember:

- I trim conservatively.....mostly de-stemmed and no lower crap.......but still
- I used sensi seeds northern lights, always a performer
- I like a higher amber count(20%+), more flower time ==== more yield
- I used a 30 gallon pot, vet growers know what I was aiming for when using a micro-bed=== more yield
- I used a highly aerated medium, coir, shitload of perlite, rice husks........almost daily watering at peak
- I was wrong as usual about too much 660nm, over 3umol/j is what counts and it showed...........stick some secondary
lenses on it and you will be fighting the fixture to prevent bleaching(still had some), height restricted need not apply, seriously.
- Do I believe that "white" leds belong in horticultural lighting? YES........Do I believe high efficiency cobs/(660nm mono added?ha) using NL/30gal ROLS will get these results ? YES
- I had high CO2 levels through veg and flower in the building for this run
- I'm just a outdoor grower using a crappy shoe closet for test runs, so take it all with a grain of salt

that's it, wasn't an easy one and will think about doing a third round to see if it wasn't a fluke and if the distributor allows it?======== while we wait for v2






Please take a moment and look/help fund the campaign for a very important bill to US agriculture.......I don't need to tell you what hemp can do for our current ag practices/farms...

http://nationalhempassociation.org/federal-campaign/ The big cotton lobby will fight this to the bitter end, no doubt my friends


hope you have a safe and happy holiday RIU
