1080w LED Inferno

IrishBoy said:
ya the leaves just died then the whole branch dried up and was just a stem with nothing on it. its just too salty of nutes mixed with high temps and plants that are very dense and not allowing light threw. now on i am going to do 4 plants like last time so its not such a dense canopy, my grow space is just too small for 6 huge plants like that. i rather just do 4 big wide plants that are LST real good. if i pulled 19oz from my last grow with just 600w led unit and using the 3 part gh part in soil, i should be able to do better then that with 1080w in hydro with the same amount of plants. i am just gonna do the same thing i did my last grow but more watts of light, if it ant broke dont fix it. :thumb:

Can't wait to see what you're cookin' up.


I thought it was, "if it ain't broke, fix it till it is" ;)

lol. ya allot of times it works out like that for me. i dont K.I.S.S. and mess things up. but i am cooking up something in the kitchen, but i am like you i change the recipe allot of time and dont know what i am eating until the last minute.lol. but no matter what ill eat good.lol.. i should have all the things i need in a week or so. and maybe be started in two weeks i hope.

things might change for me depending on ur grow and how the coco works out with the TRF.
 
Heres some new pics.

I ran out of head room and the lights got around 12" and bleached a fried the crap out of my tops of each cola. i had to rig up a way to mount the lights higher it wasn't fun or easy but i had to do something. but all the tips barley have any fatness then right blow they just explode, its kinda funny looking.lol. so lesson learn when the lights get too close it will stop bud growth on the area its too close on. but their getting nice and fat now. the lights are now 15" above the tops

Wow, that canopy looks denser than George Bush and Dan Quayle put together.

(That's pretty dense. It's what I call the 'Thud Factor.' Hit the side of their head, and you can hear the thump.) ;)

<thump> :)

Gone from 12oz to 2l, eh Irish? No more Bic lighter comparison pics here! Don't need a green screen and miniature models of the Millenium Falcon to convince us that 'buds in the mirror are larger than they appear.'

Looks like the same thing keeping those plants relatively short (i.e. 'stunting their growth') is bleaching the tops up close, too...break out the sunblock! :riskybusiness:

Jus' one o' the problems of indoor lighting, s'all.

Maybe a reason to consider hanging some vertical bulbs in there?

I have a feeling that Irishboy could grow trees to rival Heath's if he put his mind to it... ;)

Still looking outstanding Irish! :adore:

Wow got a jungle in there.Realy putting them leds to the test.Considering all the heat issues n stuff your looking good.I would recomend trying some FF bloom.IMO seems like roots need a little tlc.I use this in my bubble buckets for my tomatoes when the heat got to them.They realy made a come back and roots exploded with new growth.It may say bloom but it use is for healthy roots and to keep salt build up in check.It is an organic earthworm castings and stuff.I start my seeds with it.works well for root health...I dont think you will be totally disapointed with your grow after you trim up the bottom if you have not allready.Ive started some ice and super skunk in bubble buckets man these streins really like the hydro set up.Going to throw in a mango after a while as they say I can pretty much start flower almost right away but we will see..:goodjob:
 
Wow these are going to be some monster buds man!! Glad you stuck with it after all those problems and delay in flowering Irish!

So for all you thread followers on 420 magazine, I got eight Spectra 300's that I used on my last grow up for sale with a discounted price. They were only used for one 3 1/2 month cycle and all warranty and guarantee's I offer still apply on these panels.

If anyone's interested please e-mail me at sales@growledhydro.com

The panels are $750 with shipping.

ya man their very dense and bushy, really sucks for penetration no matter what light ur using. gonna try 18/6 veg next time to see if that makes less leaf growth?

ya no more bics for me, i never liked those pics, got's to have at least a beer can or 2l.lol just trying to show the real size as best as i can.

i have been thinking off vert for a while, who knows maybe you will see a vert grow by me real soon? i guess we will have to wait and see whats in store for me?

i dont know if i could match Heath? is in a legend in my book, but i sure wouldnt mind trying! i just cant grow as many plants as him. thatnks for that comment made my day:thumb:

Nice...:rollit:


One thing I see is.....The calyx to leaf ratio is defiantly different on these girls then the other HS girls....

ya for sure, these ones grow just like my 1st one i grew with the 126w back in the day, witch yielded good for that one plant, these ones are way bigger though and very dense.

ya i am gonna stick with just the TRF for now, i have good root stuff, its just that their probably root bond and all the good stuff? i have trimmed them allot but now i just leave them every time i move or mess with they something falls over and its a pain in the ass to keep tying up branches, so i just let them be. those strains are good one:thumb:

LEDGuy said:
Dang Irish those colas look amazing! I would say the LED's are working great. What is you opinion of them now?

ive always thought these lights were great after my last grow. this grow dosent even show you the true potential of these lights, too many bad things on this grow.

Hers some pics to show the frostiness of the buds, this was a lower bud because the tops have allot of leaves and its hard to show how frosty with the camera!

The OC+ joined the race!! heres one big cola from that plant that was a runt in the beginning, she was never LST'ed show she put all her energy into one big top cola unlike the others that were LST. The OC+ is doing much better now that the temps have been around 80F+ for a few days.

Hers a pic showing you how the tip top of the buds are allot less bud, because the lights were too close, i fixed the problem after some moding to the light hanger.

ok guys i am going to change things up a bit. i have a growlab 3'11"x3'11x6'7 tent coming tomorrow. i just talked to mike and he sending me some new lights he has, their going to be some light bars that come in 2' or 4' just like CFL's, that way we can get a good led veg light using less watts and getting more foot print. so i am going test them out and see how they veg since no one has used them yet, i will be the 1st? then when my current grow is done, i am going to send one of my 300's back to Mike and he's going to send out two 180's for my new tent, so we can see how two 180's do and that way others will know if its best to buy two 180's over one 300w since their the same price, then i will get another tent and throw the other two 300's in their and flower. i will have 2 flowering rooms going about 4 weeks or so apart so we can always see plants in flowering. i am just waiting on those new light bars and i should get growing a.s.a.p. should be 2 weeks when he gets those new lights.
 
LED could top-light my vert nicely, especially with narrow fixtures.
I grow vertically only to use the 360* output of HID. I lose floor area.

In a small box w/ small light as I'm working with, I don't light much more area but
I do use more of the bulbs' output. LEDs are directional lights, HIDs radiate.

I will soon attempt a short flat SOG with T5 compacts, but reg LED panels would rule.
 
Setting Sun said:
wow, 2' and 4' LED light bars are a great idea.

Do you know if they can be hung vertically?
Click to expand...
i am not sure yet i haven't seen them yet, and mike said he hasn't seen the finish product. i think their going to be square so you would have to put 4 of them together and make a box for it to work. their is one bad thing about these bars, their 1w leds, so i dont think they will be good for flowering but might be good for veg.

keep an eye out for my thread when i get them and i will give you my opinion on how they work.

Nice to see the OC+ working out after all - I've found the same thing, temps are key. Do you think OC+ plants have more leaves? I'm about to trim the hell out of mine.
Click to expand...

ive notice the OC+ to be a little more leafy compared to the DM, but all of the TRF seem to be more leafy them my other grows, but it could also be from the extra veg time i had in the flowering delay?
 
jeeze those are gonna be big it looks.
hey mate, i went to my nearest grow store to look for silicon? i just found one thing and it was like rhino something(the make) and it was basically silicate, is this the same thing? is this what u use maybe not make but a silicate?or silicon?

ya Silica is what u want. the stuff ur talking about is it, called Rhino skin made by AN, witch IMO ur about to get riped off. AN is real good at that.lol.

the stuff you want to try to get is made by Dyna Gro. called protek.. you should pay no more then $14-15. AN has real high prices and ive heard its more watered down from reading forums.
