NorthernLeitz FB-400-5 Watt LED + 300 Apollo LED VS Philips 600 CMH Showdown
The Hardware Lineup:
Vegetative Stage
NorthernLeitz Veggie Bomb 240 (Ebay)
HTG LED Veg light - 240 rated Generic Chinese profile (Ebay)
- These both pull about 160/170 watts each
Homemade LED Side lighting consisting of .2-.3 watt diodes (about 350-400 watts worth running on both sides in various stages)
Over 8 years old and hardly a failure with only passive cooling
Flowering
LED Side
400 watt NorthernLeitz Flower Bomb 400-5 LED with 80 5 watt diodes (From Ebay)
300 watt NorthernLeitz LED with 100 3 watt diodes and Apollo style secondary lensing (Ebay)
- 460 watts actual draw
HPS Side Chinese Digital ballast with Cooltube (HTG I recall) Running a Philips 600 watt CMH bulb
- 690 watts actual draw
Ventilation
2 - 4" American Aldes inline fans (The Best)
1 - 3" squirrel cage (from the Goodwill)
Strains:
1 - Ministry of Cannabis Northern Lights Feminized
1 - Feminised seeds Company Easy Kush -
AUTOFLOWER - Wish this did not come up on Attitudes search function when you specify medium height photoperiod but more on that later.
8-10 - G13 Labs G13xKush ----> Housemade Feminized cross with Unknown variety I called The Happy.
Mild but perma-grin stuff no couch-lock. Specimens culled down to fit 4 spots
Setup:
8x8' space with 6.5' of headroom. No effort was put into separating light sources outside of positioning. I simply do not believe in wasting any light, even for science ! Top 1.5' of each side got no spillover. Lower halves of plants got love from the other side.
Soil ProMix Mycorrhiza from The Low Depot. Pure Blend for Veg and Flower. Some Cal/Mag and Liquid Karma but PM doesn't need anything. Best soil I have ever used.
Starts under CFL and moved to LED after all sprouted. 6 total pot transplants.
If I forget any relevant spec let me know and I will post it.
