Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi

i love how you are totaly geeking out on these lights:geek: i am too i have not had as much time to tinker this past few days as i would like but i should be back to boring & plenty of free time after todays walkin ded party (every week of the season)
love your video good stuff and long,in a good way, i need to up my production level instead of just doing 1 continuous shot and script it a little so i dont stall when my medicated brain or chronic pain let me get distracted i had to re shoot at least 3 times on each vid due to verbal stalls (long pause jim) what are you using for an editor? i have vegas studio its so detailed and complicated like photo shopp i dread using it as it eats time like a fat kid is to chocolate cake (i can say that cuz i am that fat kid) i have been using the basic u tube things and its a bit weak,(have not really used the full u tube editor)
these lights are monsters and i feel some major opinion changes coming soon, im really excited to see how the finish the girls i have in flower, the time when the can really show their power every single girl has started "praying" to the extreme (fans almost straight up) since wed. they were not doing that nearly as much before they are saying to me that they really like the light and are reaching as hard as possible for it and i see a huge bud swell in 4 days!!
its getting hardcore now in regards to led grow lights and these i-gro lights are diabolically powerful in 4 days i've gotten 3 migraine headaches (i went and got some mega dark eye protecting shades
slapped you with some reps my icy brother grow on!! your :rocker: this grow
be back soon:Namaste:

Hey BID!!! Yeah I am totally a tech geek when it comes to new innovations and such :) I love it! Thanks for the compliments on the video, I use Vegas Studio as well. It sort of comes easy to me because the layout is very similar to audio editing and mastering softwares as far as the visual layout, I still have a ton to learn but at least figured out the basics :) I still need to figure out how to do logo/intro graphics and such as well as haven't even gotten into the use of effects at all. I have a AMD 1090T overclocked with stock cooling so my computer loves to blue screen on me when trying to render the videos, I imagine once I get a aftermarket cooler, then I will be able to experiment more with the effects and such.

I too am very impressed with how bright these lights are and how well the plants are already responding to them :) They just seem happy :) I am very excited to see what happens when I hit flowering and I hope that my timing was right so I can use the V-Scrog screen with the INtelligent Gro... that would be awesome!

By the way bid, I haven't put it in my signature yet, but I started a 3rd journal in which will be my breeding project, I definitely will need your expert advice for this process but I first want to create feminized seeds of my strains to keep the genetics, which will probably be 2 phases, then I will get into breeding and creating my own strain combos!! :) I'm excited. I picked up some 50ppm Collidal Silver and the plants were just transplanted the other day. I can't wait!

Both You commented that the lights are reaching up...praying to the Light God..lol.

I don't think it would be a bad thing to lower them a little more what do you think. So long as he footprint coverage does not get to small..
Can I ask what the height above the plants are at the moment?

Yeah, I have to say the plants are responding very favorable to these new lights! When I open the tent and check on them I swear I can here "thank you" LOL

Right now the lights are at 18" above the top leaves of my plants.

You all are doing a great job on your grows...See how easy it is to use these lights?

It is amazing to think how just the energy savings on your electric bill can become more stealth using these LED energy efficient Light cycle programs without loosing the high power, high intensity,high yielding power that is needed for a kick ass harvest! Did you all know that no matter what light size you use you will save in electricity enough to pay for the light in a year or less adn even more with less fans needed to draw out hot air and the reduced use of A/C during the summer. Not to mention not having to deal with those sweating walls during the summer do to high heat.

Just some points I thought I mention to you all. They are very valid points even thought a little sales pitchy...but still true..still true points.

I have to Say, LED is the Intelligent way to grow! I was paying $260 or more per month in electric to run 2 tents at the same time with HID lighting.

Now that I switched to full LED, I am now paying around $160-180 per month and have 3 tents going! More lights, more grow area, less cost in electric.. I think LED is the winner!

Don't knock me for using someone else's free video...I see no reason why not to use it so long as it advertises theirs..I am not doing anything wrong....But aside from that.. check it out it was done really well. Sure wish I had the # to the guy who made this vid.

You are dead on. I been even doing a price comparison to competitor panels(well hard to say they are a competitor when they don't have the Intelligent Tech programming feature...but as far as just High quality LED power, quality construction and intensity is concerned is really is an incredible bargain.

Just look at how expensive this version is:
AGROMAX Intensity version of my light is...and they do not even have the Integrated Intelligent controller programming features built in and a few other customization made! Just their 342w is nearly $900 hell for $100 more you can get one twice the size IGRO-648LED with the intelligent controller(After 420mag 15% member discount). I will admit.. they made a really awesome professional Video
it seems this video is the only effort they put into these panels as nearly nothing else is shared.

I purchase in bulk..bulk which is why I been able to offer such great prices.
Some huge Benefits are:
USA based company and supplier

-Full product warranty as well as satisfaction guarantee

-No overseas shipping rates, waiting for customs. All product and repairs based in USA.

-English speaking support

-Dynamic website and physical location, (your not going anywhere)

-This will not only gives you the buyer more comfort in going purchasing with Intelligent-Gro, but shows the type of service we can provide, vs some unknown person in china.

i love vegas studio its just time consuming i too spend time running everything from pro tools to audacity it is fun but time consuming i guess im just gonna have to bite the bullet if i want the quality im after
my vid card is factory over clocked a 2gb radeon 7770 i think with 12 gb ddr3 amd 8120 8 core black edition overclocked to bout 5ghz liquid cooling is a must i cant wait to see how she renders video i need a ssd for the os to reall get that last bit of turbo
i gotta cut blue dream clones today so they are ready when the big i-gro is ready im thinking a sog in 2-3 gallon smartpots my cut of blue dream is a beast of a gem uber frosty and heavy yielder plus i hate how fast i run out so im going for a big haul so im not out before i can flower more,lol oh an it finishes fast under led its done in 5-7weeks

Happy Munchday Ice very interesting convo here :thumb:

maybe one day then I can return the borrowed lights
 
Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi

Hi Icemud,

Love your grow, and your LED is amazing! I am getting ready to start a new journal, and was looking for sponsors that need someone to do some testing on LED's.

This isn't your first LED's, (at least I think I read that - 300 journals are sometimes hard to keep track of), if so, what other LED's have you used, and could you rank them?

Your setup now looks to be the future! Programmable weather modes! Love it!! I also noticed they are out of my price range, so I am still looking.

Good luck Icemud, even though I know you won't need it! :Namaste:
 
Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi

There also are websites that you can rip youtube videos in HD.

I keep asking my son who is more web savvy than me how to dl youtube vids and he said it can't be done.

Can you link a cite that shows how Ice?

I know you are looking for something about the colors at times of day, but this site is good for sunrise sunset anywhere on earth if you need that for location of a strain origin.

Sunrise, sunset, daylight in a graph

Great to see a few test reports on the LED's going on in 420mag
 
Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi

Hi Icemud. :ciao:

Subscribed, and glad I'm not to late to the show. I'm also following Jandre's grow journal for these lights, they look like they will be amazing. I think I'm pretty much sold already but yours and jandre's journal will be the nail in the coffin.:popcorn:
Good luck man.;)

Holy Moley that is a beast machine you run!! Wow! I thought my 3.7 6 core was fast! LOL SSD will definitely make it run so smooth, I got one for just my OS and system files and like 10 sec or less boot! Anyhow, I know I gotta stay on topic here :) LOL

I gotta say BID, your blue dream you did a few grows back was one of the frostiest grows of Blue dream I've seen! I can't wait to see it under the I-gro lights!! I need to get me a real clone of blue dream, after running mine 4x i determined that it wasn't right and culled it. It will have to wait until after I get my breeding project underway because I already have too many going right now :) LOL

I agree, these lights seem to already be making my plants respond quickly and grow fast! I can't wait until I see them flower!!

Hey Cronic!! Happy Munchday to you as well!!! Yeah we try to stay on topic but I geek out sometimes too :) LOL

I hope that you can try them out too! We will all see together how the do in the next few months :)

Hi Icemud,

Hey PinkyGreen!! Welcome and I very much appreciate the compliments! I would suggest maybe reaching out to some companies and seeing what you can work out :)

This is the 2nd brand of LED that I have used, and so far I have to say these are very quiet, and also very bright. I love the flexibility of the light controller and custom programs and have high hopes for how my plants turn out.

I do agree that custom light schedules and programs is the next big thing. Plants don't receive the same sunlight all day, the color changes, the intensity changes, and so the way I look at it, our grow lights should too :) Also they allow for greater power savings because young plants don't need full intensity in veg, so with these lights, I can tune down the intensity, and save money on electric, where as other panels, I am stuck with 1 setting.. I definitely see this being the future of growing!! I can't wait to experiment!

I wish I could, but I don't really want to "rank them" for 2 reasons, the 1st reason being that this journal is sponsored by Intelligent-Gro and I don't feel it is fair to discuss or compare other light manufacturers on this thread. The 2nd reason being that I just received the lights about 2 weeks ago so I am very far off from finishing my journal/test grow (probably 3 months away) so I can't really give an opinion on growth or anything until after I am finished. I wish I could help more and I would say just stay tuned to my journal and you will be able to see how these lights do :)

Thank you so much PinkyGreen for the compliments and respect and I wish I could have given you a better answer, but just not there yet :) Respect!

Hey A1cronick! Thanks for stopping by. I can't really comment on that because I just started using these lights so I'm not even half way through veg yet. Stay tuned and keep checking back and we will all see together how well they perform.

Re: Icemud's Grow 8.0 - New Intelligent-Gro LED - 2 x IGRO-228 LED - Testing And Revi

Hey everyone, just wanted to give a quick update.

So the girls are looking really good and seem to be very healthy, and growing fast. I think they so far really like these Intelligent-gro lights. I picked up the pots today to feel if they were in need of watering and they are not quite their but will need it in the next 2 days so I have a batch of T and J tea bubbling away :)

I mixed up some T and J and mixed it 1:1 with r/o water and gave the girls a good foliar spray today as the lights were coming on.

I love how the light slowly fades in and increases in intensity, as well as is really heavy blue and red at dawn :)

Well here are the photos :)
