dam ggg she is huge very nice be good to see her full of buds..
Thanks Harley420..
Cobra420, are them seeds Fem? Have you ever considered starting seeds in smaller containers and transplanting them as they get bigger? Keep it up!
New grower here and wondering what the Benifit of starting in a smaller put does? Thanks
Im doing that right now in the last few weeks trying to see if I can get any color . Im new to this so thx.for the advice.View Image
Hey guys, I replaced my BML SPYDR 600 LED (~ 300w actual), said to be 600w equivalent) with Amare Technologies Solar Spec 260 and in another tent 2 SS 150s. Both have much higher intensity and umoles/m^/sec than the SPYDR
Both provide umoles that are on a par (better actually) with hps 600s, with virtually no heat, and a full PAR spectrum. Comes with a veg and flower switch
SolarSpec260: 1850umol@12", 1049umol@24", 685umol@36"
care to post the link to that?? its kind of a bold statement since gavita's pro 600 has some nice umol/s, if not wrong the highest output for a 600w lamp out there.
If someone would use a plasma light and an hps to achieve 600w I think they would get better light quality and umol/s output than any led in the market
and what's the area they cover @ 12'' 24'' and 36''?? Pretty sure 600w hps can take a 4x4 at 30'' with a nice umol avg..
you can learn why I like these panels at
http://www.amaretechnologies.com/intensity.html
The ss260 is equivalent to 400w stated on their website...
The footprint it covers is 36''x24'' not even close to a 600w 4x4 to 5x5 depending on the brand and model you buy.
So 3x2 footprint, that's 6 sqfeet with a total of 1800 umol/s means an avarage of 300 umol/s per square foot... Not even as close as good as some HID I know
I don't even know how much is one ss260, please provide the information so I can compare not only the quality and efficiency of the product but the price too.
2 big fans on top of the panel tells me that no heat isn't a reality without them the panel would probably burn out. Unlike closed HID ballast with NO ventilation..
Clearly both heat up your air inside the grow room.
What's the warranty on the leds? I know some HID manufacturers give up to 3 years warranty on their products..
And they swear the light efficiency after 5000hrs of use is above 95%..
The LED site is lacking a lot of info so I emailed them for some extra values on some specific doubts I have to better compare.
But so far I'm pretty sure that LED panel can't compete with a quality 600w HID fixture
Maybe if you buy 2-3 and place them in a 5x5 vs 1 600w fixture you would be right..and I would love to see that. Because I don't want to make any assumptions or bold statements
My bad. To clarify...
The 260 within it's 3x2 footprint will outperform a 600HPS.
SolarSystem 600(4 x SS-150): 1702umol@12", 1236umol@24", 810umol@36"
Spec260 - veg up to 6" 36", >6" 22-24", flower 18-22", depending on the strain light tolerance. Equatorial strains can handle more. This will put u between 1400-1500umol, which is the light saturation point for cannabis. (~1500umol/sec/m2).
You can go up to 10", depending on the strain. The 260 is at 1748@12", which is almost exactly the light saturation point for Equatorial strain which is ~1740umol/se/m2.
