The Advanced DS XML 650 LED - A Review By Doc Bud

Doc, how tall are these plants? You typically flower your clones when they're around 12-18", right?

The tallest is 5'4". Mostly, they're right around 5 ft. tall. Good yield this time!

Are those led's sun spectrum? If not do you know what they are?

I don't know if they're "sun" spectrum or not. I'd say not, because it doesn't look or feel like the sun under the lights. They do grow plants, however.

Here's what it looked like today:

Quite nice Doc. It's good to see a dialed grow. It let's me know where need to improve.

Cheers

Well, they're still growing! Harvest is happening this week. One thing about these Advanced LED's is that the buds really come on strong in the latter half of bloom. It really pays off to be patient.

That's an interesting trait, and may help reduce one of the most common errors people make (i.e. early-harvest). I found it quite informative to let an 8-week strain go 12 weeks and see how it matured, finished and then degraded. Nice looking plants Doc.

:cool:

Yep! I couldn't agree more.

BTW, do you just have your sigs turned off? Where's your journal these days?

This is the last plant from this run:

I pulled 2.4 lbs total from these Advanced LED's from a 3x6 tray. They are every bit as good as a 1000wat HPS as far as yield. They use less power and need less cooling too.

I fully endorse these lights in every way!
 
Just a few more pics of the purple beast:

I'll be replanting this tray in the next few days with Paki and Colombian. I'll keep the journal going for another cycle as I'm beginning to learn how best to use these lights. Due to the very unique way they bulk up during the latter few weeks of the bloom cycle, I'm adjusting my feeding a bit, and hitting them pretty hard starting week 7.
 
Governmentchz said:
Doc, are you still using blood meal on the paki? Sorry, I can't remember if it responded well with it or not.

The Paki comes out better with a small dose or zero bloodmeal. Colombian doesn't like it. Grape Ape loves it too. Sour Grape might like it, not sure yet.

Definitely not for every strain!
