Re: LED GROW-OFF Part Deux: Hydro Grow LED 205w vs. 180w UFO
Fuck ye! this thing is awesome! I to have always wanted to go vert, but saw numerous things wrong with it, ex: only half the plant exposed to the light.
The spinner rotates each plant individually so that 100% of the plant is exposed to the light source. No more top colas with all yer weight there, now the bottom of the plant gets just as much and you form giant donkey dicks (so i've seen in pic). I have heard once dialed in 2.5 oz off each plant is obtainable, times that by 12 and you got yerself 30oz off just 600w.
I looked into the wheel, and a few other concepts but decided to give the Spinner a go as it seemed like the best concept out there. So now its, umm, on?
I'll be startin a journal on the spinner grow here pretty quick. Now i just gotta get caught up on my LED journal

Re: LED GROW-OFF Part Deux: Hydro Grow LED 205w vs. 180w UFO
Ye, man, its a beautiful system... There are some pretty cool video's on youtube, one is a full grow done by some special ed person cuz they didnt have a clue as per ph and stuff. And another cool video of a dude at the THC expo in so cal last year, that really shows how it works. Both worthy of a peek.
Price tag is pretty steep, especially if you purchase direct from the company (I went the craigslist route, found a company selling them in Arcata, CA) almost 2700 from them and only 2100 from the company in Arcata. But hey, we're all ballers here right, lol, and the potential to harvest 30oz in such a small area boggles my mind... The guy that hadn't a clue got over a 16oz and was running 3.2 ph and who fuckin knows for nutes cuz it was very low ppm. So I figure if I can land somewhere in the middle of those 2 I'll be a super happy man and it will have paid for itself in no time in my eyes.

Two of the coolest / ingenious photo's I've ever seen Between "The Spinner" and the wheel grow photos Sonic posted. Pretty interesting even at 2.5k.
Thanks for sharing.
LA Expo spinner link (shows off the stacked version too)
That bad grower who still got 28g off each
(If we're not supposed to link my apologies)

I like that spinner a lot, please post the link to your journal with it here so we can all follow you over.
I've been wanting to see a coliseum grow here but they seem to be rare.
I tend to think the spinner might be the easier way to go after a 2-3 pound grow than the Volks only because you don't have to come up with the 80 clones or seedlings to fully stock it.

Re: LED GROW-OFF Part Deux: Hydro Grow LED 205w vs. 180w UFO
Damn 80 clones to fill up the volks, 12 for each spinner. So if yer goin after 3 lbs, I'd say you need 2 spinners and 24 clones. There's a lot on that volks that scares me, like how if the motor dies so do all yer plants, not the case at all with the spinner. I weighed several options before jumpin on board and after the first 24 hours am still extremely excited about it and truly amazed by it, it really is a beautiful lil'simple system.
So yeah, I'mma have to agree with you about your theory about goin after a few lbs being easier to achieve in a spinner as opposed to the volks.... But guess we'll all find out

Re: LED GROW-OFF Part Deux: Hydro Grow LED 205w vs. 180w UFO
That spinner is the closet thing I have ever seen. Its one of those concepts where you say to your self "Geeze! Why didnt I think of that". So with this spinner do you go right in the flower so the plants dont hit the ceiling? Can you explain that part a little.
I also dont under stand how it is cooled properly? One single 125cfm fan will not keep temps below 90 degrees using a 600w HPS in such a confined area, what am I missing here?

How far away is the jumbo and the hgl?
Lookin sweet bro! The hgl had better roots tho, no? and the leaf was smaller on hgl...do you think PS is missing a spectrum, making the leaf enlarge to gather more light, or is a bigger leaf a healthier leaf.

Re: LED GROW-OFF Part Deux: Hydro Grow LED 205w vs. 180w UFO
Hey Bot, yeah man, so true... It's such a simple concept. Hang a bulb vertically, throw plants around it, and to top it off spin the lil bastards, hehe doesnt get much better than that.
So inside the spinner is 24" of vertical space for your plants so will probably start flowering once they hit about 8-10" and have a bottle of bushmasters on hand just incase they get close to the top...
It hasnt gotten higher than 84 on the inside of the cab with the 600w bumpin away in there. And maintained a pretty steady 79, once I got the girls situated in the spinner though I turned the ballast down to 360w to get them acclimated to hid lighting as they have been under t5's awaiting my ass the get everything all squared away in the spinner. Ok, so the spinner comes with 2 125cfm fans. One intake and one exhaust. I pretty much knew that the 125 cfm fan exhaust wouldnt cut it so I am using a 440 cfm fan def overkill but oh well... On a side note those the fans that they come with are super nice and I put it to use in my other veg area with the 126w.

Re: LED GROW-OFF Part Deux: Hydro Grow LED 205w vs. 180w UFO
Thanks Go. Yeah, I would say that the HGL plants do a better root structure overall more fishbones. As per speculating on why the leaves are bigger on the 180w side vs the HGL side I honestly cant say one way or the other. Its got me curious as to how its gonna play out

Re: LED GROW-OFF Part Deux: Hydro Grow LED 205w vs. 180w UFO
whats weired is on my test both plants had the same size leafs. i didnt notice any different sizes. wonder if it has to do with the 2nd gen lights?
