4500W Black Dog Platinum XL-U - GSC, Headband, Diesel, Cannatonic, Trainwreck

Did you ever post the final yields from the first GSC run? Any comparison to HPS?

Well that table had spent 1/2 it's life under HPS and then was transferred during room construction, so between it's half life and additional stress I didn't figure it mattered much as a true comparison - but weight wise it was the same as the cycle before last on the GSC and Headband - way more resinous though. I have done that forum cut better before and had nicer structure to the colas, but have gotten the grapes before as well.
So far - on par as far as output. But better testers are in there now I think.

Villain, just wanted to let you know that your garden is going to be featured on my Shoutout Saturday episode coming up on my channel. Can I use your pics from the thread in it? I'll also give your youtube a shout

Flattered dude. of course - use whatever you want. I have been buried with work but will shoot some more this week for sure.
 
Few fresh pics and working on a video rip. Coming along well as I dial in the watering schedule and such. It's cold as hell here in CO and room still seems to be steady, so all is well. Provided some of those Diesel's fill in as expected, these Black Dogs will be pretty rad.
I am trying another config too using several of the 360s vs just 2 of the XL-Us, so that'll be up shortly.

I see your trellis frames are made out of PVC, but where did you get the black corner joints? Looks nice and simple

Those are the hydrofarm snapture stands that are designed for hydro-table stands. For years I have used them with longer legs to hold my trellis :) If you have a wooden floor underneath they can even be screwed into the floor - greentrees sells the individual pieces online for a good price.
 
Few new pics. Things are coming along nicely. I can't imagine the LEDs producing like the HID tables I got going, but still look like they are going to pull some nice flowers and I still got some dialing in to do vs. this first table coming down.
I'll edit the fresh vid tomorrow.

Sick, thank you :)

Nice dude! I just started a thread asking if anyone was killing it w/ commercial-sized grows w/ LEDs. Do you have a comparison of one of your HPS tables to one of your LED tables?

Coming soon. I will get an update up here shortly as well, but it has taken a bit to get things dialed in and my table that will be down the end of Jan will have some comparisons based on the ECSD and GSC (forum cut). The resin production is definitely superior...soon I will also have tests from Cannlab as to whether it's just more trichomes or actually more cannabinoids present as well.

Just to be excessive and crazy - I am now going to take my 360s and line them next to the HIDs as 'side'/supplemental lighting :) 1 360 on the side of each HID kicked at a slight angle. It should give me 3400 watts over each 4x8 and pretty ridiculous growth. But I will have some side by sides prior to that experiment.
