Thank you! The lights are pretty damn expensive, but you can buy used on Ebay for like 900 a pop. The leds don't have to be replaced until 10 years has passed which is nuts

So I couldn't resist and will add another Kind Led Light. Will run an additional one but it will not be the XL1000 but instead, a xl750.
So ill have 1 light per 4x4 and add the last light in the middle. Total wattage will be 4750 but true watts will be 3030. Since each xl1000 has a 650 true wattage and the xl750 is 430 true wattage.
Going to veg 16 - 20 for the scrog, either 4 or 5 in each 4x4 and veg them for 30/45 days then flip the lights. I'm hoping to aim for a gram per watt hopefully more.
Will be setting up this weekend and will post pics of it up!

Nice, my buddy used to grow back in the day and had loud as fans. I stumbled upon infinity just yesterday online and was like wtf, this makes sense.
200 for a fan and a temp/humidity gauge seems like a steal as well.
Should be off to a fun start!

Update, electrician has completed the work.
I hung 2 of the lights up but idk I need to figure out a better way to hang the lights so they can be adjusted. Maybe some sort of ratchet?
The fans in the light aren't too bad so won't tip the neighbors off. Don't know why I'm paranoid all the time when I park my car in the 2 car garage and see my tent up when growing is legal now in my state lol.
Waiting on picking up the babies hopefully tomorrow from Clones on Fire. Here are some pictures of the current set up.
I powered all lights up and Temps seemed to be around high 70's low 80's so I'm sure the 14kbtu ac will be enough!

Picked up the babies last night.
10 Wedding Cake and 5 Super Cookie Glue.
Picking up Do Si Do tomorrow.
I have the Infinity Cloudline T8 fan with humidity temp on the baseline of the plants and regular gauge near the canopy.
Base line of plants is 77 and near lights is 81.
I planted them in small containers and will keep them here for 2/3 weeks before transplanting into 5 gallon then veg for another 2/3 weeks and LST and train them in the scrog then flower. So I'm expecting a 4/6 week veg time with 5 plants per 4x4 to fill up the screen.
Hoping to hit 3 pounds per side so 6 pounds total.
Wish me Luck!

That's what I'm hoping for! Just have to dial it in and make sure I don't mess up lol!

Nice! The price of these lights definitely scared me at first, but seems like people are getting good results. What do you yield with your lights?

My grow room morphed from 2 t8 8bulb lights in a 4x8 tent to what I have today. Cleared out walk in closet for grow room because grandkids are getting to old to have this big old grow tent in my bedroom. Had to go stealth. Started with 1 xl1000 and 1 k600 for entire grow. 2 ww autos and 4 crown Royale photos. Got 13 zips from the autos and 24 zips of crown Royale. Then I built my room for drying, clone/seedling, and a veg room. This room is divided into three separate areas. This was all done with the purpose of having a continuous grow. Wanting to put 3 and sometimes 4 plants into the flower room every month. This is where my five stage grow setup was conceived. I have finally got all stages filled with plants and ready to move up a stage as I pull plants out of the flower room. Ive pulled three Alaskan purple plants out 2 weeks ago. Got 18 zips of dried bud. Put 3 goriila glue in there place. Just pulled a strawberry kush, 2 whit widows and the new. They are drying as we speak. Replaced them with 2 clones of the new and a clones of strawberry kush. As I cycled the last two out I was able to start docs kit so now I have the kit dirt in stages 1 and 2. Got one more of the new a and one mor white widow that will be done in a couple of weeks. Then my my plants all move up another stage. Had to add a a/c unit, an dehumidifier for lights off and a humidifier running when lights are on. Got the environment dialed in now 82-78 lights on with and rh 48-50. Lights off 68-72 degrees with an rh 40 to 50. Done all this in less than a year as I'm a newbie to this wonderful hobby. So to answer your question 6 zips a plant isn't bad but I'm looking for 8 or more per plant. Hopefully the numbers go up as I have gotten much better at training and my plants look bushy and healthy. One more thing with the first setup of t8 lights in the tent we got 21 zips from 10 plants.... the environment and lights have made all the difference.... i just erased a ton of pictures off my phone. They were making my wife nervous. These are the only pictures I have of whats in or been in my flower room this grow....

Sorry but I don't really have time for a journal. I spend a lot of time just keeping up with my little girls. I lurk around on this site and post any problems that I run into. So much information on here with so many great people with years of experience giving freely to help others. I offer what little knowledge I have if I think someone could benefit from my advice. I learn alot by reading other peoples journals. Just so glad I found this site and I consider it a blessing.

Update!
Ended up driving to get 5 Cherry On Top (Cherry Pie × Sundae Driver) clones from the same place I got the other cuts.
Transplanted them last night and finished the set up (mostly today). All lights are hung up now and will remove the portable ac outside the teny tomorrow then hook up the carbon filter.
Was able to fire up all lights and Temps were at 86 which is too hot but thats with the ac inside so there is some heat being exhausted from it since I didn't properly set up the carbon filter and I'm only sucking out the ac exhaust.
I have some light nutrient burn on the ones I watered the other day. Ppm was around 500 so ill lower it to 300ish tomorrow when I feed them.
Kind lights are amazing.
Countdown begins. Looking at a 4 week(ish) veh with 5 per 4x4 to fill up the screen and then flip these babies.
I'm going to take some cuts beforehand and set up a veg tent to keep the genetics. The clone place i got them from only deals with cookie and TLC genetics.

Bro you seem to have your set up dialed down! Looking forward to seeing your adventures! I'm curious to see the gpw from these kind lights I have as well.
Would love a perpetual garden too!
