hell a 90 is hard to look straight at!! 600 might leave a mark.
I hear ya about the yield, neither HGL or Prosource met their claims.
I think the led/hid ratio is yet to be determined. watt for watt with similar angles of coverage is the test we need to see in order to get a fix on performance. And max coverage at that. Then it's up to the suppliers to deal with pricing.(minus about 200% of the 300% markup)
600w is getting juicy, should be an interesting grow. Got specs?
I have something tentative elsewhere, might be interesting, No real details available for posting yet.

i dont know what the spec are on this new light? ya if 600w of leds cant give me good yield then i dont know about leds anymore..lol.

the owner mike seem real cool and straight up about his light. he is not making crazy claims so thats a big plus in my book.

i hope to start seeing high powered leds growing now on, because these low watt one are just not cutting it. cant wait to see what this bad boy is going to do? thats a hole lot of power their..lol.

Did I see a mention of 90 degree dispersion angle? Yeah 600w with 90 degree lens better grow some serious colas, lol. Maybe Mike is learning from others' failings, that would be a good thing. Sounds like my guy at half the power, heheh. No claims, just testing.

ya it uses 90 degree leds. mike told me he dosent need me to test his lights because he already did that and knows what his light can do. he just wanted me to do a grow how ever i wanted to do and show you guys what he light dose. he said he dosent have the time to do the whole forum thing all the time, so he rather give me the light for free as a payment for taking my time to show you guys what it can do. so i said for sure because i love being on the forums learning anyways, so why not?

Ok, now, 600w.

Unless this light produces significantly more and/or better bud than a 600w HID, then the *only* attraction for me would be the lower heat output.

The lower heat is a really big thing, but at wattages that high, for me, it becomes the only real advantage if the light performs well.

He's getting good exposure for the price.
90 degree dispersion with that wattage should challenge any 600w hps/reflector combo in a very interesting way.

Hi Irish. Haven't been on the forums for a few days, so not sure if I missed it, but do you have a final dry weight for the compariosn grow yet?

No stress, just didn't want to miss it!

no i pulled them this Friday so their still drying. i like to do low and slow like my BBQ..lol get the good taste and smell. usaly it takes me 7-14 days when i do it right. i would say around next Monday or so. trust me i want to know also but don't want to mess things up by rushing it.

Cool. Thanks for the update. Really looking forward to the results. From the pictures, the 180w UFO really did a lot better than I thought it would.

As for the HGL light, funny how they were so sure they would beat the UFO even with just 126w. Didn't even get close judging by the pix. I think we all know about their BS by now! I wonder what they will do once they have been banned from all the forums. I don't think there are many left!
 
re: LED GROW TEST. 126W hydro grow led VS. 180W

Great looking picture. I was wondering something... that 600 watt is a loong 600 watt, and a HPS is short. This is great for a few plants under the footprint. How long Irish do you think we will be eating our popcorn and watching how the 600 watt results?

I was suprised when I went into our local hydro store and heard other people talking. They were saying everybody they know use 1000 W HPS per plant.


Also thanks for the info on the gravity and the snow storm I order some yesterday.
Now I need to scratch my head and figure out what way to go for my flowering area.

I also want to say thanks to Tbrad? I am in touch with China to see what is would cost to build a light, did anyone come up with a good ratio mix for the leds, and what degree? How about the nm?
I also like the ideal of buying from a trusted source, it seems like Mike fits the bill there. Really would like his 300 watt light, I built a killer stealth grow room that has a 3'X3' area and that 300 watt light would fit the bill.

Hope to do a thread about building the room soon. Being an electrician and a stoner I do get carried away when I can have free rains to run lights and timer and recepticals.

Holy cow, after looking at that side by side picture I am seeing black spots all over the place. My eyes have still not adjusted. That thing is bright....

I've never heard of anyone using a 1000W (of any kind) per plant. Other than to run an experiment, why would anyone do that?
 
re: LED GROW TEST. 126W hydro grow led VS. 180W

Sounds like too much power,when you could be getting more area and more plants under the space for that size of light.

-Go

ya i thought that was funny also. the sad thing is that i believed her..lol. until flowering came and i seen it with my own eyes. then i started to see the BS then when every one was getting results that were no where near as claimed i really woke up and open my eyes.

i should start a grow either this Saturday or next Saturday. most likly it will next Saturday because i have some work to do in my room, but have my plants still hanging in their drying.

be careful with that gravity that stuff is strong. do not feed with any nutes or snow storm ultra. just use gravity with plain water

one 1000w HID for one plant is way over kill, their is no need for that.

what sorry i cant read what you typed, still cant see too good from the light..lol for real now when i close my eyes i see a big square with dots all over.

Waring do not operate a led light when high. it may cause damage to your eyes.

Sorry, I was just commenting on how bright that light is even in the picture. After looking at it, it wigs my eyes out...
