2nd Try Growing Dank W/LED's .. 600 Watts this time!!!

[SOGMaster]

Alright so we flowered previously with Sunshine-Systems LED's.. As they worked great for vegetative growing and decent for flowering, we wanted to improve it. We are now working with a company that has been importing some of the best and most developed lights so far. We already have a few lights and will be posting the pics in another thread soon.. Just wanted to show you guys some of the past pics!!

Here is the new company we purchased lights from
jacksbargainbin.com - jacksbargainbin.com

and now for the Sunshine-Systems LED's!

These pics are all at random..

u would be better off throwing a 150 watt hps in there

I think he is trying to perfect a technique. There is no way that and HPS will be able to target the wavelength LEDs can. The only thing lacking is the intensity of that wavelength. I am sure that a 1000w mixed LED fixture will outperform a comparable HID fixture.

But ultimately I think this guy is trying to push his lights onto us.

id rather a 70 hps

 

[hat3]

hes just trying to sell some lights and their not really bargins

 

[datjig]

id rather a few cfls and 589 dollars in my pocket then theese lights

Damn right... This dickheads keep pawing off this under-powered fixtures off on us. They really don't know they are hurting the whole LED movement. $1100 for 600w?! That's stupid LEDs cost avg $0.55/watt and this dude is marking them up too much.

179.00 for a 50 watt mini ufo isnt a very good deal when i can get a 90w 3rd gen tri-band for the same money

i'm using 350 watt pro series illuminator on my last grow and i was pleased with the veg growth but i thought my buds which there was a lot of,they could of been denser.

Maybe so, but I'm always open to looking at honest results using LED lights. I find it interesting.

I agree that there has been a whole lot of hype, and lot of underperforming equipment sold by less-than-savory fly by night types on the Net over the past few years. And we can expect that to continue in the immediate future as well.

However, I do think that at some point, this technology will be adequately dialed in so that it can perform reasonably well. At that point, it will be a race to the finish line in terms of cost. And that's a race that must ultimately be won by LED tech at some point.

Because one thing is certain: HPS and Halide bulb technology is mature and is not about to experience any radical price drop anytime soon. It might even be fair to say that there are no radical price drops in the future for this technology at any time -- until we reach the point where the mftrs are liquidating this technology for good.

Meanwhile, the overall cost advantage to LEDs in the long run - both in terms of economies of scale, cost of new methods of production (quantum dots, anyone?) and the cost of running the LED fixtures in terms of energy costs will only decline. And it is not unreasonable to expect that at some stage, the cost will plummet drastically.

There was a time when the indoor grow market was owned by what we would consider as rather lame fluorescent bulb technology. Wasn't that long ago, really.

I can easily see in a decade or so from now, LEDs could be the only big player in the marketplace with HIDs appearing to be old fashioned and quaint and used only by old farts.

It does not mean that will necessarily come to pass during the next ten years' time frame, but I do think it is inevitable that it will happen at some point. And it could be earlier than that too, for all we know.

What is certain is that the market shift will not happen until there is proven success during real-world grows on websites like this.

So I'm interested in seeing what these guys can obtain from their LED units. Sooner or later, this technology is going to get it right at a price point that HID won't be able to touch. When that happens, everyone will jump in the pool.

So doesn't it make some sense to at least watch these grows with an open mind and see when it's right to jump in, without attempting to predict the success or failure of a particular grow?

its going be like 4 more years too get past hps im guessiing

 

[SaltyBalls]

ill watch but havent seen anything that i would try yet

Looks like the plants are at a rave.

my friend has a 150 hps with hood and a 50 hps vertical without hood the ladies were doing an ok job, last week he installed one of these ALL RED 225 LED Grow Light Panel 650nm (nanometer) wave lengthl at midway and only five days later it has improved the dud sites by double, the grunts at the bottom were just about to get pulled and now its day-39 and cant wait til Chinese new years lmao hopefully in 26days!!

some specs:


Power: 13.8 Watts
Dimensions: 12 ¼" x 12 ¼ (30.5cm)

Thickness: Low profile 1.25"

Power cord length: 48 inches

Recommended coverage: one panel per 1.5 square feet
LED panel plant light is extremely energy efficient, paying for itself many times over annually in electricity savings. It saves 50% to 90% in energy consumptioncompared to incandescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes. Wide angle projection insures uniform leaf coverage. This specialty all Red LED grow light panel is designed to allow you to custom tailor the light spectrum for maximum flowering.
The powerful all Red LED panel has been scientifically designed to provide large illumination coverage of 1.5 square feet so it needs to be positioned at approximately 2-4" inches away from the plants.12 hours per day is all that is necessary for maximum plant health to accelerate the flowering process. The typical white plant lights that run hot, consume excessive electricity wasting money. The purity of these All Red LED lights generates faster bud development, flower blossoming, fruit growth, health, beauty and productivity, check out my friends blog click on the bottom guys
