That's true.
i agree LEDgirl,
he chops early then wonders why he didnt have a good yeild,
I see LEDs great for very short squat plants like strawberries or short flowers. can someone send me a link of a grow done with a 318 watt that yielded well? I'm not being sarchastic, I just dont want to sift through a bunch of these failed attempts searching. I have been so interested in these things for 3-4 years now. Anyone here remember gopher from the old AN med forums? So far he has done the best I have seen with LED and he scrapped it a long time ago after researching for some time. it has been years and I have prayed for the technology to catch up and produce a decent yield. I want to believe. I want to believe:]
you shouldve done a SOG
maybe your 318w aren't as well-tested as the 126w so the problems inherent in them are just beginning to show... a friend of mine who dove right in and bought 2, 318w lights is getting even worse results than i am... i call it like it is. maybe you should recall your undertested 318w model?
MeanBean said that this was 4 oz:MeanBean (a beginner grower) pulled a QP from our 126W
...and 16oz is an lb.4oz is a qp
Look in his gallery.those look like they are 2 oz. a piece to me. look how big the nugs are compared to the AC unit on the floor.
Oh believe me bro, I'm not investing in anything but HID for now. however, I think you would have done much better with considerably smaller plants. I drive by a shop every day and see this bright ass pink light in the window and its throwin light pretty good in the window. I have no idea brand or the wattage. I havent even seen the thing. just the light it puts out. they are growing something but I cant see what it is because its so small. I also don't know if the CFLs you used played with the spectrum of the LED, but I wouldn't rule it out. I am trying to be subjective. I see points in both LED Girls & your arguments, but I still want to see the results of the technology growing comparable results to 600-1000w electronic ballasts with enhanced spectrum lighting. When I do, I will by 20 of them, save a ton on power/cooling costs and never replace a bulb again!
This sounds so good right? Almost too good to be true, huh? Yes, I am a skeptic. Though I do believe in technology and enhanced awareness Education and science to make what was once though impossible. I remember watching tv shows and movies with laser guns and thinking "will never happen" not in my lifetime... Boeing has a 747 like plane that has a "laser" that cuts holes and slices and dices through tanks, & buildings from several thousand feet up.. technology is growing at an alarming pace. who knows, maybe this will be the only way to go once perfected. if LEDs were still 1000w but required no cooling, I'm saving huge on cooling costs and equipment/bulbs if they produced yields and quality like a 1000w light.
Probably 2oz once properly trimmed.okay, so in his gallery he says it's less than 4 oz. and in the picture of the racks it's drying on and the nugs with the lighter, i'd say yes, as long as it isn't bone dry, it's probably roughly 3 1/2- 3 3/4 oz.
