LED Grow Test

re: LED GROW TEST. 126W hydro grow led VS. 180W

the 180 had a runt... but both those numbers are not that good.

This is true, but as you can clearly see in the pics the other plants under the 126w certainly appear to be much further away from the LED, unless this is some trickery with the camera that those off everyones perception.... Where as all the ps plants were all the same height from the light source.

just imagine if the PS didnt have a runt hindu? and it did that much better on the BD

Touche... LOL, ye, all and all I'd say, umm, well I'm pretty blazed so I dont know what else to say, other than I'm about to find out on my own... I believe you didnt a wonderful job growing some nice plants, and I'm certain that you do things much different in the future, but I feel that you gave up a bit too early on the 126w... Shit you already gave it away to a friend and yet it did significantly better in the gpw department....

both lights didn't work as claimed and i rather use hps

both side the lights were 12" from the smallest plant

Completely agree, but as you have pointed out many times that this was not a run to maximize yield. Saying that I'm sure you could have gotten much more out of both lights! I live in central cali and it gets ferkin hot as shit here so running 4 400w's gets a bit too hot in my 6x4 closet. So I am certainly looking forward to seeing first hand what these babies can do in action.

trust me i know about the heat u get. 100-115F* summer heat.
and i would agree i could do allot better on both side if i didn't have to keep it so fair. at least i got 2 free lights to make up for my loss in yield. but i still dont see led touching my HPS. the g/per watt might be ok on the leds but HID give you fatter/bigger more dense buds that weight more. but i deal with the same heat as you in the summer time so i under stand.

Representin' the 209! lol

not bad at all-considering you were limited by the test- pretty cool.You got some nice-frosty smoke there fo sho.I've been looking into that 600w light you're testing, and they have a couple vids on youtube- looks like the guy was getting some decent spear shaped buds.But I think he would have easily doubled his results with some training methods employed- way I see it is ALL growlights- regardless of bulb/wattage-whatever, can be maximized by employing some training method.I wont grow straight up trees anymore-simply because I cant see wasting the space- lst is the bomb fo sho- but scroggin...Irish, I think that after this 600w lst grow- you would definitely be a happy guy if you ran a 600w led scrog- 1 big f**ker in a large pot -o-soil.I think that would be something to see.Regardless of your chosen methods-keep up the good work...we're all tuned in.peace

ya i am going to get some clones next sat and do 4 LST plants, then if they look good at the end ill do a SCROG with the 600w. i am working on the room and getting it ready.

Awesome.It'll be interesting to see the comparison.I think you'll pull hid comparative results with the scrog-but I'm thinkin you'll do a bang up job with the lst as well.Just checked out that 600 watter again...my god that thing is bright.Not to sound like a den-mother here, but wear some sunglasses when you're messin around in there.I dont see how that thing couldnt hurt your eyes permanently.I'll be tuned in bro-take it light:cool:

It been a great ride Irish. I think in the near furture we will see some great LED lighting that will work out good for us that live in the warm areas, or have small room and heat is a factor. Here is a study that was sent to me that was done by UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS
Greenhouse Supplemental Lighting
330 Watt LED vs. 600 Watt HPS
Prepared for: Kevin Wells, LumiGrow, Inc.

The LED lighting treatment showed statistically significant differences as compared to the HPS lighting for height of plant and days from flower to senescence. The LED grown plants tended to have shorter internodes and tighter compact growth. Plants grown under LED had open flowers last longer before senescing. LED and HPS light treatments showed no significant difference for days to flower and number of buds per pot.

They were talking about rose buds...

That's the Lumigrow baby. It is a badass unit. Can't say that about many others.

I have grown some sweet buds with it...

Not roses.

-Go

Wonderful job. Great grow and great information. To be honest I would have taken either harvest from either light. Those buds look like some nice smoke... Great job....

they are good smoke but the problem is i lost allot of buds do to popcorn buds, from lack of penetration.
i will give this 600w led light a try and see if this light can change my mind about leds, if not then i will be firing up my HPS for sure.
