I can't wait to test mine later this week when my 3 units show up. It won't be as much as you are running with the 3 (other LED's, **edited by Icemud) but it will be 432w of LEDs, I think there are so many things that influence how air moves in a room/tent like these. I have had a bunch of closets and grow spaces before and have sometimes been surprised with what fixes things. My first tent I had a low intake that I placed a long hose on that I could move around depending on the household conditions that were creating heat. It was a manual pain in the rear but I could keep the 400w at less than 80 in the sealed tent during summer. But it showed to me how minor changes in the household micro environment can have a big effect on these small spaces.

Was that even coherent? I am in harvest testing mode and it seems to be working. RoorRip

I tried a few things such as moving my circulation fan lower to help move the cooler air around the plants and push the warmer air upwards. I also re-directed the exhaust air outputs in my room so that they exit the room more efficiently and tomorrow should be putting in a larger fan, so hopefully this should help lower the temps.. Its actually been pretty hot lately here and hit 85F out over the weekend, but luckilly at that the time the tent hit a high of 87F only so I know with the little improvements, it should lower the temps even more :)

thats the main thing if the girls are happy eff the effin temp gauge! lol i know my blue dream likes it warm 90f wont faze her, and she will still grow fine at 55f most indica doms take cold well sativas eat up the warmth hybrids well you have to figure out lol they might be confused ,whats not a hybrid these days?

Girls are looking very good. Why do you add the seaweed with PGR if you don't mind me asking?

With the foliar spraying with "the Lab" sprays I add PGR, Amaze, Cold pressed seaweed, advanced Nutr carboload, and advanced nutr organic b, with a few drops of yucca extract.

Hey everyone!! So I fixed my tent heat issue and I didn't even have to install the 6" fan. (I will before summer just to have more suction power if needed) All I did to fix this issue was move my circulation fan (small desk fan to move air) and moved it from the top of the tent blowing down, to the bottom of the tent blowing across and slightly upward. This helped move the cool air from the intake tubes around the plants letting the hot air rise naturally. Just by doing this I decreased the tent temperature from 85F to around 78F. Problem solved!!!

Here is a quick update video.... I didn't do the regular editing for the update, just shot it with my Nexus 5 camera phone and uploaded it in 1080! Enjoy!

Thanks for the great update. Those Intelligent LED panels are very cool. Just being able to daisy chain the power is very cool. Do you wear glasses when working in the tent with LED?

I would really like to get some GDP beans at some point. Seems everyone is out right now. I will just have to watch yours and learn. Great couple of tents you have going now.
 
Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi

If you find those GDP seeds let me know too. I haven't been able to find any neither

Ice, did you previously publish your formula for your foliar spray; the one on their website is for acres and gallons. Do you think eventually you will give a bottom line evaluation of this led system; something to the effect - 'good, newbies should invest instead of hid'; or 'game changers, trash whatever your using these are doing the Lord's work.'

Thanks Dr Bob! I so far am really loving these Intelligent-Gro lights! Definitely my plants seem to be as well, they are growing fast!. Yeah the daisy chain feature is nice, don't have to have as many available power outlets as well as much cleaner tent with less wires :)

I don't wear glasses when working with the lights, but I didn't either with my HID lights or others for that matter :) They are bright for the first minute or so and then my eyes adjust... The problem though is when I close up my tents, I can't see anything for a min or so...lol gotta be careful not to knock anything over :)

Have you checked any of our sponsors for the GDP beans? I thought I saw them a while back when I was looking, cant remember which one though.

I did but I am still toying with how much to use. I sprayed them the other day and burned the pistils slightly and that was at about 3/4 oz of amaze per 1/2 gallon and 1/2 oz of pgr per 1/2 gallon so I think I may half those amounts next time and see if they will be alright. It is really strong stuff!!

I definitely will get to a evaluation at the end of this journal, but I don't want to jump the gun on making any judgements until the end. Overall I have to say I am very pleased so far with the lights, and my plants are definitely looking healthy.

Honestly I think LED is definitely the way of the future of growing and HID costs a lot to run, and since I've ran both now I can definitely say that LED buds were frostier, about the same yield as HID, and tasted slightly better too :)

Thanks Cronic!!! I like adding the videos because it gives a more 3D look into the garden over just the photos :) Definitely more to come :)
 
Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi

So the quart size Amaze, PGR should do. What feeding schedule do you use, 10 days? Does the foliar feed replace or in addition to normal feed? I greatly appreciate you time and consideration. I'll be retiring to Florida soon and in anticipation that they make mmj legal next year, I would like to replace all these meds (Oxy), doctors, mri's, epidural injections, radio frequency ablations, cream... the whole pain industry with my own, home grown gift from God.

Icemud, if you are really having issues seeing after being in your tent with the lights on, might I suggest that you do wear sunglasses. The last thing you want to deal with is cataracts later in life which form due to experiencing these light conditions without the proper protection.

Be careful IceMud, better safe than sorry!
