area 51 sg-160 x 6 panel grow

[cococola36]

Hey IC, I'm not exactly new here, been reading through many interesting threads, but figured it was time to post my own...I apologize in advance my grow is well underway with two weeks until harvest but better late than never right?? Anyways I have two flower rooms, the one displayed here is of my full led run with area 51 sg-160 panels 6 in total on 6 plants for 930 watts total. I started with these panels from week 3 of flowering, first 3 weeks they were under a procyon 300 beta, hidhut supernova enhanced spectrum and a t1 smartlamp pro bloom. This flower area is 5 x 7 ft. I'll also be starting another thread soon for my 3k og hood hid flower room with led supplementation...here are some pics hope u guys enjoy

thanks for sharing coco.

good I feel for 26.5 watts a square foot.. it's on par from what I was seeing with my old evo using white/red led, with yours using newer chips..

thanks for stoppin in habeeb! Im loving these units , the wattage per square ft seems to work well and looking forward to my next run since ill have these start to finish. I also use lumi bulb far red for 15min at the beginning and end of my cycles 13 on 11 off and the plants are loving that in both rooms i have

Took down the first two (bubble gum), and wet weight with just nugs after using the spin pro was 849 so i'm assuming a dry weight of maybe 3 zips a piece give or take...the last four plants def need a another week or two and have much bigger buds....ill keep the reports and show dry results for proof as they come in

Nice job by you. A51 rocks. Their new lights are even better

 

[cococola36]

thanks petflora! Ive read through plenty of your threads so i take that as a great compliment...i do have six of there newest panels, probably the best leds ive used so far for sure...

I see we are both in two forums as well

 

[cococola36]

So not exactly as good as i expected the two bubblegum went from 849 wet to roughly 154 grams dry. I did feel i may have picked em a tad bit early but it was also my first true led run so usually bubblegum for me would finish at day 55-58 and i did go 58 days but maybe they take longer under led???

Here is the pic, basically 2.75 zips per plant, the last four should be much better (two big bud white widows, one kalishnakova, one super iced grapefruit)

 

[PetFlora]

I feel your pain. My 4oz WHxWW lost 75% of wet weight

 

[cococola36]

UPDATE: kalishnakova (white russian) comes in at 3.21 dry oz, Iced grapefruit the champ so far with 3.64 dry oz! happy about that....so far 12.34 dry oz total with two more plants drying on the rack, two big bud x white widows...if I can get 3 or 4 a piece I would be more than happy with my first LED run

 

[cococola36]

Final update: two bb x ww came in at 7.19 dry oz with a total of 19.53 not too bad , not a great gpw as the 6 sgs-160 units pull 930 watts so looking at about .58 gpw. Def hoping to do better next time as this was my first experience with pure led for flower. Thanks for anyone checking out the grow....next time I'll document from start to finish

Thanks much appreciated, i know they are clearance but not sure how they perform, I'm sure they must be decent at the very least

Question I have a 600w HPS light, I was going to buy the SGS-160 LED Grow Light instead but i didnt have 1k on me at the time. If i buy two of these would it equal to 600w hps or 1000w hps? And would it preform the same as a 600w or 1000w? How much Electricity does it use? and i hear it doesn't produce any heat or at least very minimal heat.

please do not consider my answer to be right or true. It is instead a summation of my impressions based on what i've read here and elsewhere. But.... looks like ppl pull lb/s from 300-700w (real watts at the plug). Ppl also pull lb's from 400-600w hps. it looks like 1gpw is the base marker for a good led grow, 1.5 around max, with .5-.6w being a 'good' grow with around 1gpw with hps.

you or me? Probably half that till dialed in

 

[babelfish]

Not me tho - best i've done was ~8oz on a 400.

sorry no edit button showing.

 

[gardenfather]

now is that 400w hps or led?
