Maxxi's - Second Grow - 600W - Tent

[RunsInMyBlood]

Lovely grow sir, on topic with leds the local hydro store guy has shown me his grow with kessel leds and i must say it was on par with many 1k hps grows ive seen. I would look into them aswell.

thanks Runsinmyblod man thats alot to type i was gona call you runs but that sounds wrong. RIMB welcome to 420 and thanks for the input ill check them out i may have before they sound familiar. (off topic familiars makes me want to watch blade 1,2,3 tonight maybe into tomorrow )
@TM im going to probably be getting 2 35l aquafarms and an led will probs run some autos to test them out etc. ill be starting close to when those guys will be halfway through flowering id suspect. so by then i should know what led i can get. Lummes output is far less on leds but the penetration from the light emitted etc with the uv and infrared stuff going further into the canopy etc and more larger parts of the spectrum of light that the plant needs to grow that a lot of hps/Mh cant put out and compete with i had a chart somewhere i could post if thats allowed? anyways got to stop typing fingers hurting again.

Good idea Max cause I have also seen a few messed up grows with LEDS, an that is maybe why, all the luck an I hope you get the right ones first time

I have been told that apparently some of the lights they claim to use do t exist in the market like the certain Cree LEDs but I don't know. I've sent them an email with a few questions etc see if I get a reply on Monday or what not. Then I can ask the other questions regarding this claim etc. should be interesting.

Hey guys so a little up date for you all. I've contacted the guys over at lush lighting and they aren't up for sharing what LEDs etc they are using apart from that they are all 100% Cree lights. But as they have invested 250'000$ into rnd so I understand that. They are really nice and friendly. I think I will be running with them, they will be opening shop in the eu in the next 6 months they have planed. He's also agreed to run a 3 year warranty which also covers the shipping fees which are roughly 300$ so they are confident in their product so it all sounds really good to me. Also with a money back guaranteed I think. Need to check the last again.

On and their main aim is to produce lights that grow dank medicinal crop.

Long Needed update I guess. I am in love with the nebula..

Hope you enjoyed the ladies. I think i need to make another defol. Specially on the nebula to get those short bud sites all the light they can get.

Good weed Maxi! yep yours look better too

 

[Maxximilian]

Thanks fish. tried posting some pics again to pump some life into this thread again!

+reps!
Looking good my man!
Just so you know, I visit here all the time but Im trying not to comment too much. LED's are way above my head. I feel like an occasinal joke and good job are about all I can contribute to this one Max.

 

[runewulfsong]

Those girls are looking asbolutely lovely Maxxi +reps

 

[Maxximilian]

Thanks guys. I'll try think of something I have on my mind to get your opinions.

 

[TaylorMade420]

looking good mate, did you get the pdf with prices from the other link i sent you?

 

[Maxximilian]

No I just asked them how much that one light cost as there was only one light I was looking at on their site. But I think I'll be running with the dominator from lush lighting unless someone or thing motivates me in a different direction.

i was looking at their 400x3w light a while back but just didnt have the balls to buy it
11-bands
760nm
740nm
720nm
660nm
630nm
615nm
480nm
460nm
440nm
415nm
380nm
All power LED Epistar 42mil LED & Bridgelux 45mil LED
New 3G design with aluminum PCB and LED protector
LED Beam Angle: 90 degree.
Optical Lens: 30, 60, 90 degree
We drive 3W LED with 600mA, so the real power is about 2w, if you look for light with around 900W, you can think about the 400x3w. this is what they told me hen i asked about the light

this was the price in usd 726

Hiho!

* sneaking in unnoticed to a last row seat *

Wow i like your starting post.

Just a random thought about LEDs - they cannot really outperform the HIDs yet, best aspect is the low amount of heat. This is due to change in coming years, LEDs are being devloped using huge amount of recourses to save on lighting energy globally.

This grow i figured that co2 also helps with heat, and now with the grow finished im pretty sure letting the heat go up till 35 deg, and adding co2 helps yield a lot (even in soil), and costs much less then a proper LED. While the LEDs won't boost the yield and with their price they will bring back the difference in wattage after way too many years.

Know this is completely off topic, but still worth a thought i think.

 

[Maxximilian]

Welcome invi, i dont know there are lights out there which are doing similar if not better yield outputs than the hids so i dono. maybe its got something to do with the heat etc i dono.

Just saw the ladies again, The Nebula the one I liked at the start already is putting out loads of frosting everywhere already where as the other ones are just chilling and yeah no comparison in the tent the hashberry is kinda starting as well but damn its impressive.. I was thinking of getting an usb microscope as then i can print screen the images from the plant. ideas on getting a usb microscope?

 

[TaylorMade420]

go for it mate, im thinking of getting 1 aswell, the scope i have is ok but its hard trying to stay steady and focus

U got piks coming max?
