What did that cost you, if you don't mind me asking.

I'm talking about the surface of the light. Problem is the intensity of the bulb makes you come off from it. So using inverse square law means by the time you are 36" away from an hps for example due to burn or whatever. You'll only be receiving around 300 ppfd. If you start out with low ppfd...

I could definitely do led if half the led wattage could equal a hps. I've been researching it till I'm blue in the face bc I'm about to expand out. I also don't want to be confused with the other guys that use it for illegal stuff due to wattage use lol. When I see that 300-400 watts of led can...

What brand led are you using, and can you show me the numbers? Ppfd etc. I've found that you would need to exceed the lumen efficiency of hps to greatly make leds worth the purchase. I've ran both side by side and my hps dominates the led in growth speed and spread. My 1k hps puts out around...

Not necessarily true. My 1k Hps cost around $230 for everything including 2 bulbs. Efficiency is at 140lm/w. My mars hydro 600w costs around $150.00 at 35lm/w. Taking both into consideration, an led has a better spectrum but don't think for a second that you can skimp on power due to the...

You might be better off trying to go HPS for the amount of room you are needing. For a few more dollars you can get a 400 to 600w HPS with reflector, ballast and bulbs. LED tends to be narrow. 

Just an update:   In a turn of events, they ended up turning dark brown. So Chocolate Hab it is

:) Anytime bud, I wish I had some pictures for you. I'll take some tonight. You would be surprised. Started both at the same time. I had been growing soil for a while, and of course growth was slower and never topped. Had a good buddy of mine go dwc and of course his looked healthier and didn't...

I did a side by side with Peach Wasps. One Dwc and the other soil. The dwc I topped and the soil I left alone. Both inside under 1k hps. The untopped soil plant was double the height of the topped one but started to lean over a bit. Its similar to when you see an indoor cat( Topped dwc) to a...

Looks great! Whats the wattage on your Led panel? I did my Reaper dwc with hps and yours looks way bushier than mine. 

Ok I uploaded to photobucket but somehow I created an extra post. Not sure how to delete it. 

Not sure how to delete this one Sorry :(

Hey all,   I received some seeds that were labeled as Red Habaneros. Some of them are starting to develop bumps and small tails. Not sure what to think. What are yalls thoughts?   Thanks

Yeah its kinda disappointing, Its pretty much the same with the galaxy hydro. No known PPFD values. Not sure what they are basing their testing off of lol. I just did a round about test using the lux meter on my phone. From my 1k HPS I'm getting 211,000 Lux at 1 ft. With the 600W aka 280w led...

Sorry for the double post, but wanted to let you know I wrote Mars Hydro in hopes in getting the actual par numbers or ppfd as I'm not a math expert to figure this stuff out lol. This was the reply: Hello Brandon, Thank you so much for contacting us, and I am sorry that we did not test the Par...

Howdy

I'll more than likely pull a good amount of old soil out and mix in some new stuff, then add some compost. Didn't think about using a different plant. The spots ended up everywhere ever since the winter rolled around. I noticed they ended up in the front flower beds as well. Now that its a...

Blends everything great except for Chuck Norris :)

Hey all, Just wanted to say Hello, Long time lurker. Learned a ton so far and looking forward to talking to everyone in the community. I grow everything from Super Hots, to the weak stuff. Enjoy every second of it.    -Brandon-

Thanks, I'm glad to be a part of the community. Hoping I can learn a few things, and teach a bit as well. The clear plastic sheeting is a great idea. I may try some of the copper stuff also. Have lots of ideas and little time :) Hope to do this full time one day.
