Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills OG

Re: Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills

Thank your so much for this simple, yet detailed method for soil prep. I'm getting ready to repot another few plants, and will go with this method because it makes a lot of sense and won't be a difficult change at all.

My plants in the cubic foot pots have now grown enough that they are using their water in three or four days instead of a week


Again, thanks, AK GreenLover

Day 25 flowering!!!

The ladies are looking really good and every day the buds are getting larger, and more trichomes are developing!

Yesterday I mixed up a batch of earthjuice tea which featured 5 gallons of r/o water with: earthjuice grow and bloom, Humboldt bloom 0-10-0 10% Ca, microbe life c (sulfur and microbes), organic cal/mag 5:1, potassium silicate 0-0-4.

This was bubbled and fed to the girls today, then I added plain water to dillute the bubbling brew and will feed tomorrow the same mix but watered down. I can usually do this 2-3 times before the mix goes anerobic, so after this the next feeding will be a compost tea.

Icemud, at the beginning of this thread yoy mentioned that you would probably not be running all three panels at full intensity, as it could be too much light?

If you are not running them maxed out, how are the two dials set? I like the infinitely variable dimmer switches, but clicking to specific outputs would be an improvement.

Also, your can go tell the friendly folks at Advanced LED that your grow journal has convinced me to buy a third light! I have an old style DS200 for veg and an XTE300 for flowering. I just ordered the all blue DS200 EX-Veg so that I can move the other regular DS200 wherever it is needed.

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

Happy Daze Ice:)....girls are looking awesome:).....how far are your lights from the canopy?.....i have my XTE over my WW and had it at 16" but have had to move to 24" to stop the bleaching:).....next step dial the dial's back:)lol......and as far as anybody questioning Advanced Led.....i last harvested 8.2 oz off an XTE 300 drawing about 235 watts from the wall:)....you do the math:)lol....getting ready to order another one Ice:).....have a great day
 
Re: Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills

Maybe I dun goofed. But 2x4.. 3 x XTE-200.. or 2 x XTE 300? Figure I would go with the traditional 3 x for more coverage, but then I can never get that full 3 panels under that single area. Would the 3 xte counter cross giving more then that straight 3 aiming down?
 
Re: Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills

if you are saying that you have a2 by 4 foot space, I think you would be just fine with two of the 200 units. I'm using an xte300 and a ds200 in a 4x4 space for flowering and is more than adequate.
 
Re: Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills

Not to step on any toes Chippy but i grow in a 2 x 4 tray that is a few inches over.......i have one XTE 300 on one half and a mars that i am getting ready to replace with another XTE 300......my personal opinion is two of the 300's is about the smallest i would go.....at a height of about 24" it covers a little over half of my tray......so two should complement it just right:)......

Happy Daze Ice....I hope all is good in your life my friend:)
 
Re: Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills

No worries. My feelings arent hurt easily. I do agree that two of the 300's world be great, and could always be dialed back if necessary.

Also, I grow highly trained short plants that start flowering at only about 9 inches high, so light penetration for tall plants is less of concern for me since they rarely top 3 feet.
 
Re: Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills

So you would say that the XTE 300 x 2 is better then the XTE 200 x 3. See, the xte 200 does a nice job covering a 2x2 - but in a 2x 4 it looses in the middle for obvious reasons. xte 300 would give off more for that 1 plant within that 2x2... But does the xte 200 x 3 give off as much as 2 xte300 over that 2x 2 or just a better coverage area ?

Only reason im asking, is because I jumped the boat and have the xte 200 and I think it's great. But just like ice mud, I wanted to over kill my tent with "3 units" and the pricing wasn't very much different from grabbing 2 xte 300 vs 3 x xte 200.

Being Canadian, 1 xte is near 900$ almost 1000 after all said an done with taxes and custom fees.
 
Re: Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills

In my opinion Ellison if you want over kill....then purchase two XTE 300s and place your 200 in the middle of them.....evenly spaced and you should rock it:).....if i had the money i wouldnt mind picking up one of the 200's for the center.....i dont htink it is necessary but i do love soem extra lighting:)lol.....in fact i use osram light bars as side lighting as well:)lol......

I just noticed that you are new as well so :welcome:to :420:as well my friend:).....and the invitation to post questions and related pics on my journal is extended to you as well:)......
I hope this helps you out some in your decision:)

Advanced led recommends 22-26" for the XTE's
also all three of my XTE-300's pull 250w or slightly more from the wall 235w seems a little low. be sure both dials are fully on I've bumped mine down without noticing before.

These are amazing Led lights , I too broke personal single plant yield records on my first run. :high-five:

Great pics Ice , your lighting for your shots is great and thats no easy task . :) +reps
 
Re: Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills

Thanks for the info Ronnie....nope mine are turned all the way up.....and i have checked it 2 or 3 times as i couldnt remember off hand but always a solid 235 full blast......i wonder why the difference?.....i will email Kyle and see what he says, but i odnt have and issue with light output so i dont know how much of a difference it would make:)
 
Re: Icemud's LED Overkill - 3x Advanced LED XTE 300s - Blue Dream - University Hills
