Not a clue...I have never run any type of LED set up before. I know the yields are better with the newer LED technology though.

alright, update time.

some things i noticed about this led fixture... it keeps the room warm. i don't need to exhaust the heat out. also, the leaves stretch very nicely from the light.

2876 is blackberry kush

2875 is super lemon haze

the last one is alien blackberry

Did I get this right? You spent a little over a thousand dollars to make a 300W LED light?

I would try to lower that light as close as possible without loosing to much foot print.

Seems like a awfull lot for 300 watt LED.

I hope it works out, please keep this grow updated with finished product.

$1000.00 for 300 watts????

the light was raised to snap a photo of the plants. its lower than the pic for sure. advancedled sells their fixture for $997 and you don't know whats going into the fixture for sure. i figure i'll recoup the costs in a few runs.

You are getting a lot of stretch on some of your plants. Is this the LED causing this?

those are more sativa hybrid. they were under halides before the led was done. the alien blackberry stays short and majority of the clones are that strain for the LED fixture.

electricity cost + mh/hps bulbs = $$$

no need to use more electricity + no need to purchase bulbs.

i removed the blackberry kush/super lemon haze from this light. they were too tall compared to the alien blackberry. they weren't getting the love being on the edge.

 

[Kill a Watt]

gave the girls a hair cut after some good growth. they were getting too bushy for my taste.

also reduced total # of plants to 12 for this light. may be even less when the plants start to spread out.
