Re: BID 6.0 Featuring: TopLED - Coco High Brix -BPN-JDL- Highly Mineralized Myko Madn
welcome to my journal! this is my first run with led im hoping for great results! the light seems like a good one!
That but 5 pages of subs in 24 hours is all you my man!!
I have shown a very few folks and their reaction is always the same... get me outta here!!
Good cause I am slow
So is it climate or light?
Sounds wonderful and cool you have someone to pass it down too, my son has no interest.
yeah spiffy got triggered into a migraine when i test fired the light in our bedroom for like 5 seconds! its so bright but in a very different than a hid lamp, i think alot of it really is for the led test,im not that interesting,just a weedgeek! its light & climate i have to get some kind of ac or i will just shut down next summer,its just to hard to do in the summer 60%of my clones fail in this heat,my plants suffer like hell and it pains my soul to see them like that, perhaps the led will work during the summer and i can keep a mother or 2 and run a few autos, but unless i fix it summer will be mostly shut down time,,we will see if the young man has the mustard to be a grower or its just a passing fancy,statistics say 80% of ppl that start learning to grow give up within the first year, it does require some determination, and heaps of patience,it does not jive well with our current "instant gratification" culture
Holy cow BID!
You started this on Friday. It's Monday now (I'm rarely on on weekends), and it's already page 5!
Oh well. I'm excited to see how the LEDs work for you. I need to invest in more lighting, but I'm still very undecided on which route I want to go. LEDs seem to have matured enough to be a viable option. I think they are now more than able to replace traditional HID lighting, but the cost is still pretty prohibitive. My biggest concern is the same with the early adoption of any new technology. You pay a lot for new tech, and the price drops quickly. The same $5000 I spend on LED lighting today will likely buy double the wattage in another year. That tech is just advancing so fast, it's hard to make the decision to jump in, ya know?
I do know I should go with a reputable US vendor, and I'd prefer to support a
sponsor. I'm gonna go check out the vendor that supplied your test lamp. I hope if works well for you! I want to see how good you think the coverage is in particular. Of course, I'm also curious about bud size/density.
I'm curious how you think they would work with a mover. I'm not sure LEDs are really suited for moving because their light is in such a focused beam. HID's throw light in all directions, so as the light moves, the plant is illuminated by different areas of the bulb. With an LED, I don't think there is enough stray light to get the same benefit.
Anyway, I'm subbed now. Thanks for sharing your LED project with us!
i know nothing of loght movers,its an expense i have not had much interest in,and seems impractical in my setup,but i dont see why it wouldnt work,the lenses on the led's can be all sorts of angles,seems moving it side to side would work pretty good,theres plenty of light bouncing off the mylar walls of my tent but i really dont know.
i defo get your concerns on the tech & its like my 1300$ tv i got 2 yrsvago its a great tv 47in 1080p 5 hdmi 60watt high quality sound lcd 50k:1 resolution beautiful picture, but today i can get the same specs for 500$!! for what i spent then i could add10 inches to the screen,led lit,3d capable,internet & apps,wireless connection ,webcam 2 million to 1 resolution!
, but the way i look at it is i have a great tv that serves my needs, so with led lights my thoughts are about the same if it does the job i want and is a decent price, it will pay for its self in a couple months and in a year when i dont have to buy 1 or 2 new 50$ bulbs i will be reafirmed that its $ well spent,not to mention the power saved on cooling,thats my theory at least'lol
the sponsor of this grow
TOPLEDGROWLIGH, Solutions Limited,LED GROWLIGHT,LED BULB,LED TUBE,grow lights,t5 grow light,hps grow light,fluorescent grow light,grow light bulb,grow light bulbs,marijuana grow light,growing light,cfl grow light,indoor grow light,grow light reflecto will build a light to your specs if you want different spectrums etc ,they have the best prices i have seen for single units and really good on multi light purchases,and running discount promos right now,factory direct and a sponsor here,they ship from the us , most "made in usa" lights are just buying these same components and assembeling them here so they can claim U.s.made and mark the cost way up, ive been doing a little research and it seems 90% of led lights use chinese parts, for me all thats left is this test if it gives me what i want i will be sold and looking into full conversion to all led and adding new panelsevery chance i get,the prices will just get better & better from now on !
