Hydrogrow LED 3,000 watts, 8 small trees, first LED experience

[babelfish]

more or less what I was thinking, each X being a 500w LED. Prob is its $4k to light each plant, but you get it back after the first harvest.....

there might be something for putting one over the girls as well... just to even it out ;P

lol.

To be fair, in my example the o's were lights.. but when you flipped it around.. might as well go for the gold 'specially when i'm spending ur moneyz

 

[thrillspan]

the real downside of $2500 leds? it hurts when the police take them. check your filters boys and girls

 

[gurutouch]

awesome job, interesting llight

 

[thrillspan]

OK, dried and cured. 1616 grams. 53.89 grams per watt. Not bad at all.

 

[babelfish]

moved a decimal place, .5389 gpw, still not bad at all, congrats on the harvest. Better than 3lb is significant. Dial that sucker in a bit, and I bet you'll get significantly higher yields.

I can`t FUKIN believe $ 12500 worth of lights got confiscated by LEO.....WTF.....and damn....

Those plants did less than 1/2 lb per ?.....The size of those nugs and colas sure fooled my old ass.......

3 lbs 9.75 ozs. seems light to me , but it is what it is.....I`m more pissed off bout those lights.....anyways...

Lick your wounds and get backta work Bro , and......Keep us updated....and for fucks sake , get BIGGER scrubbers......

Peace....DHF..........

Hey Bro.....Them some serious lookin light arrays......Was wonderin where you went....

Looks to me like the light`s bein wasted with the units side by side where the smaller arrays are pointed back at each other , but I`m not sure how LED light spreads across a grow area so dunno.....but.....

If each of those units are the equivalent of a 600 watt HID bare bulb then those 5 sided fuckers look perfect for 4 weed donuts in concentric circles with the 5th bulb in the middle of the "X" pattern of lights.......that is....

Runnin more plants with less veg time ....anyways......those plants look healthy and thrivin , so keep up the killer job TS.....I`ll be over here on my bucket waitin to see the finished product from an all LED setup.....

Glad the slow recirculating setup`s workin out for yas as well.....Holler if I can help....

Edit :.....OMFG......Just went and looked at these fixtures and they`re $ 2500 per unit with the supposed PAR rating of a 1000 watt HID light......Thrillspan.....

Respect.......Hope return on investment comes back in spades on them bad mofo`s.....damn......$12,500 worth of lights on 8 plants.....bout fell off my bucket......

Peace....DHF.........

Thought this exactly DHF when I was reading this. Donuts all the way! Still, I love the setup Thrillspan, and look forward to your runs with these...

Nice thread thrillspan! Hey would you be interested in getting those kind of lights for cheaper? I have a connection which might be helpful... they don't make the hexagon-like vertical setup, but they do make the same horizontals as hydrogrowled...

Looking good man. Nice leds.

Is it too soon to be nostalgic about all the groundbreaking LED technology that
appeared in 2013?

This is an awesome thread, biggest VERT LED here for sure and yield was nice!
Good luck with your next grow, keep it green.

PS. I been seeing flat9 on 3 threads selling underground fictures from China.

I know, they told me I could get a porsche that was just as good for like $39,900, but I stuck with the Germans, I hate and will not do business with thieves, and if its the exact same, they they're thieves.

And if the lights are different, then they're liars, and I don't do business with them either.

That guy prob gets his music and movies from the torrents and steals his groceries.

Say what you want guys, but how about researching it yourself if you don't believe me? I'm trying to help people out and especially avoid wasting money. If you don't think that is a valuable tip, well, I bet you also partake in cutting your nose to spite your face.

 

[thrillspan]

I spent more than 12 grand on my lights. Do you think I didn't know about Alibaba?

Thieves and liars, I will not do business with. Period.

SHine on!!

 

[redclover]

Sorry if I missed it, but what brand do diodes are in those?! Seems like you could use just 2 and surround them.

 

[thrillspan]

no idea, sorry.

they are stock units from hydrogrow led.

 

[cone]

has this grow finished?

 

[DunHav`nFun]

Yes
