HLG 260xl

Nice.
The price is rough that I saw from HLG.... $383. I picked up the Asian version at $500 for 600w. You can find much better deals, but there are language and money exchange issues. Still tho, my price per watt was $0.833 vs the $1.4 HLG rate.... I'm pretty happy with my choice and really only had to call the credit card company to warn them of the overseas purchase.

I found it for $350. Still rough on the pockets but i figure will pay for itself in electricity over time. I have to run big extraction fans using hps and even my dwarf star gets the temps up where i dont like em for long. I tend to stay away from chinamarts... I am impatient and the last time i ordered from one it took forever to get to my door.

 

[Tead]

I can certainly understand. One has some hoops to jump thru for the Chinese markets.
You're gonna just die when you see the heat signature from them. Put the ballast (driver) outside the space and you've got very little heat going.

 

[Blazinjones]

Yea thats what i like about my growant light i can put the little ballast mounted outside the tent/ grow area and then very little heat. An the performance is outstanding. But still my dwarf stars are my best lights jus way more frost and way denser buds then other lights. But yea ive been lookn at some qb for awhile now jus havnt been able 2 pull the trigger n get em alil pricey so gotta save up alil ata time for them about 125 to go then its qb time.

 

[Lazarus13]

No doubt the dwarf stars make frosty, dense buds. I will keep that light til the wheels fall off it. Lol. I just need somthing to replace my 400w hid. Been saving every penny for the past 3 weeks ro get the qbs. Cant use house money cuz you know... New roof and electrical rewiring tajes precedence over a new light... So sayeth the old lady.

Found this little guy on a spotted leaf on one plant. Hopefully the others will all finish before things get out of control.

I pulled it. Early, but close enough.

That little guy makes my skin crawl.

Glad you caught the little bugger

Red spider mite?

 

[Tead]

Red spider mite?

It's a pretty young one. Could be red. They could clear up as they grow and show the standard single black spot on their backsides.

Clippy clippy!

Mmm... gooey

Mmm... gooey

Not nearly a PC, but plenty messy enough for a good touch of Grower's Hash with some morning bowls.

I'm always jealous of Weas's harvest photos with blue gloves covered in hair and goo. I had to fire a jealousy salvo across his bow this morning.

Looking good. That GDP is quickly moving up my need to grow list!

 

[Tead]

Have u taken her down yet? If so about what u think u got for a yield roughly off tht one?

44g of dried and well trimmed bud. Pretty damn good in my world. My Osmo pots rarely rose to 30g. I'm currently witnessing the effects of MegaCrop in 5gal buckets, so I'll have some data in a month or two.

Trichome shots from the last plant in my backyard. A Jack H in Osmo.

The backyard grow shed is now officially empty. I've taken some time this morning to thank all the equipment that's served me so well over the years. Sounds odd, but I have some Native American blood in me somewhere. It's kinda hitting me hard to shut it down. It's been a big fixture in my world for a very long time.

Last girls... 2 Jack H mother plants sharing a pot.

Goodbye shed. Goodbye Osmo. Goodbye crazy growing climate. I'll miss you all. Thanks for all the herb!

 

[DrDoob]

Moving on up to the East Side...

Can't wait to see what you do with an at least slightly controllable climate, plus all the other upgrades... I think the New Year is going to be a good in Teadville.

 

[Skybound]

Are you moving to a new region?
