Dank's Adventures In Dankland

[Weaselcracker]

If you don’t mind- what size of an area would one of those three-panel setups cover and- how far apart are the individual 135w (?) panels from each other and from the plants?
I’m thinking about moving my two little ones around.

I was using the original fixture in my 32"x48"x60" tent. It's a diy kit. I made the frame with 3/4"/3/4" aluminum angle. It's just under 48" long with the boards envenly spaced. I'll try to get a pic of it in that tent. I'm using both light set ups now in a 4'x8' tent. First run it it. Which boards do you have weasel?

 

[Dankman_420]

@Weaselcracker here's the first fixture in the little tent 32"x48"

 

[Weaselcracker]

I ordered a - “240w lm301b 288v2 quantum board led”
from a company that Graytail turned me onto. Except that I got them to split it into two panels So instead of a 288 I guess it is two 144s....?
I have one at the end of each one of my 600 W HPS lights. To try and help w shadowy spots there

 

[Weaselcracker]

How far away from your plants can you get those lights?

I bet they help a lot. Here's the other one I have it's 3 boards on a 36" heatsink and a pic of both setup's in 4'x8' tent

I think I could run them as close as 18" maybe 12". I have them higher trying to cover more area

 

[Dankman_420]

@Weaselcracker have you seen brother @Tead lights. He's running QB boards in various places in his bloom room

 

[Weaselcracker]

That looks great. I’m thinking I might squish my two together for a while just so I can feel that I am growing at least one plant mainly under LED lighting, to see what the difference is. I haven’t yet got a handle on how the things are.

 

[Weaselcracker]

Yeah Tead got his from the same source. I have to go back and check. He’s been pretty quiet since around the time he got those lights.

I'm still unsure about the quality of penatration compared to hps. But it's a great set up in a small tent with mylar walls to bounce the light rays around

 

[Dankman_420]

Every since tead the press he's been in a dab fog

 

[Weaselcracker]

Yep.

I'm now convinced Tead is a flat Earther and he found the edge and stepped off it, lol. Just like you said. He got that press maybe 6 months ago and has posted maybe 3 times in that spance of time?

IMO, the LEDs don't really compete with HPS in intensity, but every other factor I think LED wins. Well, I admit my experience is skewed because my driver can chips both can be driven much harder, but my 140mm heatsinks limit me to about 65% of the driver's capability MAX. If I go higher, I believe I run the risk of smoking the Veros unless I provide some active cooling. That aside though, the LEDs make less heat and make more light per watt, plus the quality of spectrum is much better than that produced by at least 600w HIDs. The thoussies at least can run dual spectrum bulbs, but sadly the 600s can only run them bullshit 2200k bulbs. HPS makes a lot of bud, but LED makes better quality buds. It's almost the same as soil vs hydro, lol.

 

[Weaselcracker]

That’s why I bought the LEDs. I just don’t have enough of them to cover an area to compare. But so far they’ve made me like my HPS even more. For the most part I’m not seeing much bud out there that makes me jealous. Having said that I will get more LEDs in the future.

...the glorious future... where I always have more time and more money

 

[Dankman_420]

Here's a lower 24k nug from my last run under the 4k QB boards. I'm hoping the 3500k with R spec will be better. Few more weeks to see what difference it makes

 

[Skybound]

Dayyum frosty! She looks amazing Dank!

 

[ilikemsticky]

hey dank im back catching up that's a pretty one rite there!

 

[Dankman_420]

Thanks fellas! Here's a comparison of the 24k's. This one is under the 3500k and in FFOF bag soil

 

[Dankman_420]

This one is in subcools super soil and under the 4k lights
