Hey LED, Would love to work with any of your products. Missed the last offer and would love to get down on this one! I have tons of extra room and resources. I have been running Hydro for the past few years, but have gone thru it all, and very well versed. Just did a test run of Tom Hill's DC. I can compare your units at 600 and 1k HPS...

blazeoneup (what up), tropical rain (hiya friend), hazy (killin it always 
), tonatiuh (piiiiiiiimp 
)
hi everyone, just puttin in my two cents:
hazy would kill it and have a killer thread.
tonatiuh would kill it and everyone with it (lol) and have a killer thread too.
either of these two guys and you can take it to the bank, certified, it is gonna be a good show and quality work.
blazeoneup is a damn fine and talented grower, gotta give him his due. inspired my first try at organic soil mixes. good stuff. tropical rain is a good guy, though guiltily i haven't spent much time on his threads.
hope that helps
great idea for a run. can't wait to see the results. thanks to everyone on the site for such a great place

Giz a light - i can grow! 
Giz a light - i can grow!
Having already bought a 63watt 1st generation unit and running a popular diary on it, i'm confident that my intensive growing style suits these LED's very well. they give out a lot of light in a small footprint so its about training the plants to cram as many buds into the space as possible. Given that these LED units give out very little heat, their advantages over HID for cabinet growing should be huge. many people have to use cooltubes with hid in their cab which just cuts down the light - this wouldnt be necessary with LED.
my method is organic soil and i have a 'standard' mix that works successfully for nearly all my strains.
ive been running my bigger 250 watt cab diary for a while now and it has had nearly 50,000 hits in 6 months which is, i believe, the fastest hit rate in the grow diaries section - in it i have documented grows of quite a few different strains, many of which i keep mums for. im getting to the stage where imo i have pretty much maxed out on the yield i can get in this cab with a 250 HID - the light is my limiting factor.
what i really want to do now is replace the 250 with one of the 205 watt LED units and run the strains again to see how much the similar (but less) watts of LED can increase my bud quality and yield. if they give out a lot more light then i dont see why it shouldnt give better results - and anyone would be happy to be using 50 watts/20% less electricity and getting more yield and better buds wouldnt they???
so whilst this wouldn't be a side by side as in both grows running at the same time, it would be a great comparison because i have already documented and published the results of the 250HID over the last few grows. the way i train my plants onto foot square screens means that many potential variables are removed. the way my plants grow is consistent and standardised. you wont find one cola sticking out the top and meaning that the other buds suffer - i get all my buds in the sweet spot - because the screens are modular i can adjust the heights of each plant too to give an even canopy.
whilst i see the point in comparisons to much higher watt HID lights, i think that they always end up leading to arguments about claimed equivalency. why not have at least one test doing more of a watt for watt comparison and seeing how much BETTER the LED's can do.
after all yield is about grams/watt when it comes down to it - that's the bottom line for most growers.
here are some pics but check my grow diary for more - i grow organic soil on 1 ft square modular scrog screens and fit 4 plants like these in my cab. i have documented yields under 250 HID for at least 2 runs for each of these strains in my diary already with plenty of pics. all i need to do is replace the light with one of yours and continue to do what i am doing. i generally update with pics 1-2 times per week.
obviously if i got the new light i would start a fresh diary - but the old one would still be there for all to see and i could post the 250 watt pics in the new diary for 'side by side' comparison.
4 plants together
UK cheese - 16 colas in a square foot
sharksbreath finished at 75 days - if i get a free light i promise to pick the dead leaves off for the photos
NL - well finished
here is the whole cab with 4 screens/plants in
thanks
V.
p.s. good luck to all! - i would also say hazy, unc and Ton. would be good bets

thanks meanbean, i would consider square screens though as they fit together to fill the space without any gaps - thats the point

Everyone: your input has been much appreciated.
One thing that makes certain gardeners stand out like a sore thumb, is when everyone else voices their support for that person. So far it seems like Blynxx and Hazy are two VERY popular growers
KEEP EM COMING!!!
I think you mean Blaze? Looks like Blynx only posted to recommend Blaze
Blaze *is* the man for this trial - the guy has a dialed in method and obvious skills.
If those lights are capable of producing anything other than typical leafy LED buds, I'm sure he will be able to make it happen.

Yeah but I want to be able to spin my plants for inspection!
Got a few seeds in my grow cause I couldn’t spin the plants to inspect and find hermies... well I had no more seeds of this strain, looks like I'll have about 10 now!!
Not saying that square wouldn't be better, I agree it would be!

I can do the following tests:
400w HPS soil/hydro (RDWC)
400w CMH soil/hydro (RDWC)
400w MH soil/hydro (RDWC)

Just wanted to give a +1 to blazeoneup. I think he should be chosen, his threads and grows have all been really well done and I think he'll figure out how to max out the potential of the led's.

I still think he can do it well with the 126 watter!! I bet he could sqeeze the same results or better the first time. If not, after a few grows. he'll prolly want a few more LED panels once he can "harness the powa" hahaha!
In fact If i get a 126 unit I am going to have to grow in his shadow, Yikes!

Hazy! Hazy! Hazy! Just here to voice my support for hazy. Lots of
people follow his thread. Great grower and just a nice guy.
I'd like to follow hazy through some led grows.
I have some fresh c99 beans he might like to try under there.

hey meanbean true, i could probably match my 250 with a 126 watt unit - but i would prefer to really exceed my 250 with a 205 - i also really want a 2nd generation unit as the one that i already bought was a 1st gen.
either way i would be very happy to give it a go - guess it's a bit cheeky trying to make my own slot - but thats me, a cheeky monkey
