What about Washingtonian card. Oh wait I'll just see you here hopefully. Then I can give you a tour doc. Plus a road trip late fall to so Cal should have good weather if we decide to take a road trip.

One or the other or both.

Is the cup up there more gangsta or more hippie/rasta? The one down here was full on thug....safe and fun....but definitely for a younger crowd. My wife is all about the hippie/rasta type events. She can smoke joints with the rasta crowd for hours on end....been there, done that.

But she doesn't like the dabs and meth-user attire too much.
 
Thank god I saved a gnat today. Hahahaha. Jesus barrrrrrfffff. I purposely kill every gnat,slug,snail,mosquito and ass hole wasps I see.

Sorry irritated today. Left message with platinum may try out two p600 over 1 p1200 what you think Doc. It will be in a tent which I've never done before.

Either or both will serve you well. I think you'll be surprised about how well they do compared to HPS.....at a significant savings.

Until about a year ago, I laughed at LED and thought there were goofy lights for hobby growers only. I no longer feel that way.

Last year was a Lil more hippies than thugs. But there is the whole dabstar crap and there entourage so the urban community is represented. Thing I dislike is booths being so involved in the competition part very big conflict of interest. And it's getting worse. I'll be a Lil pissed if I don't place this year cause my product is better now than my 2nd place was. I'm not linking up with a big vendor but will have 4 to 6 entries.

As you know, all the winners had large booths at the LA event.
 
I know dope cup wasn't like that as bad but neither is the reward

I'm not a tent grower never owned one. What would be the best tent hands down for either two p600 or one p1200. Price don't matter. I want to run the led without any supplemental lightning first.

I know your not a tent grower but someone on here might help me I'm clueless about tents.

And that right there should not be permitted.

It's a mess. They still don't have dates or a venue firmed up for the June Bay Area CC.

Too many dabs in the office. Too much corruption and nepotism. I'll never enter the comp again.

Slotown.....my helper/apprentice has a Gorilla Tent. It looks really nice. He's got 4 900's in there I think....total overkill. He learned that from me.

What's a gorilla 8x8? I'm thinking four 900s for a 7x7... that's more overkill or just right? :)

He's in a 4x8 with a 1 foot ceiling extension.
 
I agree with Doc...go with a Gorilla Tent, Dutty.

Really well made and what I like most is that you can raise the ceiling higher than most other tents. Mine is at 8 ft tall and the extra height came in handy with those powerful Platinum LED's. :thumb:

Thanks. What do you think is best for my 7x7x7? My plan, I'm thinking two panels to start, two more in a short while.... Thank you!!

Pretty sure this is my last year for sure medical. Fun event though. Corrupt as all hell I thought we should of got first last year. But co op I used last year wasn't too affiliated and neither this year. Probably wont place this year though with the sound of amount of potential entries. Still will be great to get to meet a few of ya and host a kick ass bbq. Maybe take some out on the boat. If I haven't sold.
 
As soon as platinum gets back to me mass I'll let you know.

I'm not looking for a high yielding or big tent. I just want the Leds separate from regular room so I can have a true comparison so if I buy two p600s or one 12.

I have a 15x15 bloom room so I'd need like 10-14 p1200's in there is my guess. That's a lot of cash I must see results first before I use it. Pictures and there claims intrigue me but my growing experience under a test light will make my mind up. To be honest I wouldn't even consider if doc wasn't using I'd continue to chuckle.

2 or 3 P1200's would work....so would 4 P900's. Shoot, I'm not sure how much difference it would make.

Here's how I'm looking at the entire LED thing:

1. They work. Really. The P1200 is a direct replacement for a 1000 watt HPS....except it works better.

2. They require less cooling so many folks can ditch the cooling fans and enjoy a less stressed-out AC and the electric bill that come with it.

Those are the Pro's

The con's are as follows:

1. Durability. We simply don't know how long they last and how often they break. How will these lights hold up under foliar spraying, sulfur vaporizer, etc. This is a huge issue for the large hobbiest on up to the professionals. It's harder to re-hang an entire light over a full tray than to change a bulb or ballast.

2. Economics. The lights will only pay for themselves via savings on the ebill if they last long enough! Also, replacing a bulb or ballast with HPS is pretty cheap compared to shipping a light back and/or paying for a replacement LED. How long do they last? I don't know! I'm using them right now with no trouble, but it would take a year or more of continuous use to break even....longer to get ahead.

3. Quality of produce. How do they stack up against the new double-ended HPS like the Gavita, which are less expensive? ( I have concerns about the Gavita and foliar sprays too, as they have an open bulb)

But if it's quality you're looking for, the newer LED's will definitely deliver. There's just more to the picture for folks like me or especially folks like you, Dutty.

Reliability is my greatest concern. Quality isn't an issue, expense isn't an issue AS LONG AS THEY'RE DURABLE in the garden environment.
 
Since we are talking about lights, I'm curious no one has mentioned the new ~315w CMH bulbs? I have just seen a small room with a few - no ac - finished nicely.

I'm thinking of long term either supplementing my 4 gavitas with 2 of these, or even switching 2 to only hang 2 gavitas and 2 cmh's in the space.

Almost certainly planning to throw one in veg as the 2nd stage of lighting to the t5.

It seems like these lights are in the heat/power realm of the LED's and they work for sure.

I wasn't aware of them.....things are changing fast!
