Im an idiot. Are you flowering yet?

Aww LOL. Yeah brotha, nearly at the halfway point.

Ha this thead inspired me i have been so buzy lately trying get some cash but now i have a plasma and an apache tech LED in my grow, i havent updated in like a week tho been to buzy but cant wait to see this led+plasma combo, how many watts are you pulling

Woah another LEP/LED user? Fuck yeah!

300w on the plama, 84 each on the kessils and 20 on the corner lights. 632 total.

Mr. B, what about some current pics?

LOL just be glad they got taken in the first place! Sloth avatar is gone for now, but the spirit remains.

Hey Mr B...Impressive set up!

I love the look of the room. Would you recommend the Kessils..? You seem pleased from what I'm reading here.

They just might be what I need to "pin down" the corners of my canopy surrounding my ES330.

Again...sweet work!

Thanks for the kind words man!

I am not sure I can recommend the Kessils just yet. I am very impressed by the light they throw, for example, they will turn a whole room crazy red if you aim one at the wall instead of the ceiling. Ultimately though, I really need to see a couple rounds come out before I can recommend them. Even then, it will be hard to say which light did what.

I forsee like, 6 months from now or a little longer, after I've done a few rounds and know what to expect, then I could replace the Kessils with alternate lights and see the effect.

Or maybe the plasma moves into my hps tent and we see just what the Kessils can do alone.

Regardless, until we get there, I don't know how to recommend the Kessils over another product even if they have tickled my fancy.


Word :D

heheh...Disco.......looks great though man...really nice. Just keep up the great work...:yes:

Thanks brotha!

ahh yes this is the set up i want some day :p. will be nice watching how this runs for you. thanks for sharing! and your light setup is what i was looking into as well.

No worries man, happy to put on a lil show.

Mr. Bongjangles, Oh, Mr. Bongjangles, Mr. Bongjangles, dance.

:dance:

This is one very well thought-out setup Mr. Bojangles! Have absolutely everything covered as far as I can see so anything else on top is just gravy. Tent looks so good I think I would want to live in it haha.

Can't wait to see how things progress so mind if I pull up a chair big guy?

Aww thanks for the kind words. Most def pull up that chair playboy!

Looking good bonger! Do you think they will yield pretty decent? I have never grown those strains out so I have no idea what they are suppose to look like at day 27. Pretty colors and super frosty! Take it easy bro! :wave:

thats awesome, im running the plasma and a Apache Tech Rb led its coming out with 300w lep + 156w Led so = 456w :) thanks for the inspiration to use a led instead of hid:tiphat:. your post maybe me think and spend some $$$ ,my local store doesnt work with hydrofarm so i couldnt get a kessil but ended up with this led seems good so far, how far do you have your lights from canopy? also your plants look amazing.!:thank you:

Things seem going well for you Mr. B. The colours of the LEDs always make for great ambince during the photo shoot hey. Will you try the plamsa on its own in the future to see how it goes by itself ?

Sorry man, I know that was a sad reference to the NGDB tune, but I assume that's where you got the name. I have heard that song about a million times and got a good chuckle when i saw your handle the first time..

Anyway, thanks for the wit, humor and pics and keep it comin'.

Sweet dude, good luck! Prolly best we don't all have Kessils anyways for comparison sake.

I keep the lights about a foot from the canopy. For spread on the plasma, as it can do 3x3 or 4x4 depending on height, and with the Kessils they are more like spotlights than a typical led panel, so they need the distance too.

Thanks for the kind words man!

I will likely never try this plasma light alone in flower, as it is meant for supplemental lighting for flower or solo use in veg because of the drop off in red spectrum.

When this round is finished, I think the plasma will proceed directly to my HPS flowering tent, inbetween 2 big lights. Hopefully get some of the explosive trich development and stocky growth in there that I'm seeing in here.

You should take one of the 350's and use it for undergrowth resin/nug production. Would be awesome to see. Your plants look amazing!

Looking good Mr B!

What size HPSs are the plasma going to be supplementing?

Is the light footprint on the plasma like a HID where its spread out below the light? or is it more directed like LED?

day 37, almost chop !!

Almost? You woulda chopped it at 32!

Thanks man. Not sure how much weight these things are going to pack on though, I'm seeing a lot of nugs but most are small and chunky so I am having trouble coming up with even an internal estimate.

That's an interesting idea, something I might consider down the road if I can figure out how to mount them that way.

Kessil makes clamps for that sort of thing but they are for their smaller models, could be an easy way if they work with the h350 too.

LOL brotha :laughing:

:laughing:


looking great jangles, doesn't appear to lacking on the resin production. :tiphat:

Thanks zilla! Yeah man, these plants are straight frosted. Was just typing a second ago I'm pretty unsure about the yield thing, but I really do feel like it will be the best cannabis I've ever grown due to the explosive trich development.

Thanks lynx-dogg!

The hps tent is 2k, so yeah, will prolly throw it in the middle once this run finishes up. I want that stocky growth and baller trich development in there. Especially the reduction in stretch, as I grow in tents and head-room is hard to come by, so perhaps with the LEP in there I can train a bit less aggressively and have a more uniform canopy.

The plasma is more like a hps bulb in that there is one source of light and the reflector handles the task of spreading it out.

Apparently they do actually make a clamp for the 350 but they don't advertise it.

I am putting 3 H150's under my canopy to run the test I suggested though. Should be cool to watch
