Looks great Tags

I agree though, the lenses/clusters do look a tad close together. Pretty dang impressive to see those umol ratings.

Tag, my man!

This grow is indeed awesome!
I am currently ordering a WR 3-2, is this the one that you would recommend for veg-and-flower ?
Even got a discount =)

 

[puffenuff]

Oh man, that light is a thing of beauty! can't wait to see the one you'll be getting in a few weeks. The SF cup huh, is that the one in Richmond this month?

Thanks man I try. Interested to see all you A51 guys get you stuff into flower. Dawg looks to be the closest to the flip.

Thanks for watching. Glad to have you joining the apache side.
The WR 3:2...or the R'2 as I call them are the best light and veg just fine with slightly tighter node spacing than all whites.
I hope you used the discount code I have been throwing up(RBK331 ...$750) cause it is the best deal that I know of unless you are buying 10+ units.

It is cool to see some progress. In the last pic you can see another Stanford proto sittting up on the left...it's 4 AT120 side to side(For a 4x8 tray)
Yes that's the one. Apache is trying to get a booth but either way I will be there. I was hoping to see some LED'ers and nerds there. I will have goodies from my garden and sesh with anyone who finds me.

Thanks for the insta-reply.
I think it was the same code, got it from a fellow grower in another forum.
Me and a friend have a aquaponic setup with a ProGrow 400 and is looking for some more juice, unfortunately Apache is unable to ship to Spain atm, but they wrote back and is looking in to it.

Ran the ProGrow in a Jardin 1m2, (3x3 square feet ?), with 18 California Hashplant clones, made around 250g, hard to be exact because my brother smoked some of it before it was done curing

Plan is to run 2 or 3 plant in the aquaponic setup under both these lights, but I guess I just have to wait and see what Apache is coming up with, shipping wise.
Have you tried out aquaponics yourself ?

I try to help as best I can. Good to hear you got the code...that code came from me... glad to see it getting spread around. I am on a couple other forums too but the LED sections suck everywhere else I have been. Here has the best LED section by fa I think. Really love the group thats on here...lots of good info and grows going on.

Apache will figure something out, it will just cost a little more obviously.
I have some aero cloners and helped with a topfeed drip/NFT garden last year http://www.wearehydro.com/index.htm but it wasn't my cup of tea. It was like a hobby system compared to the way I do things. I just couldn't see it working for higher production. My avatar pic is from that run. Not sure if it is actually and aquaponic system...But I run organic soils and mixes so I stick to what I know.

I guarantee you will up your yields with an AT. Even if you just ran the AT120 solo you could get almost 8oz if you do things right. With a little help from you other light you will have a plenty of PAR light to over grow that tent of yours. You will have to get a thread going.

Yeah, I kind of hoping that they will release their new product before they figure out my shipping

Aquaponics, no nuts, only fish poop =)
Have ordered some microbes for the setup, but customs are starting to be a real pain in by back.

So I have this thought on transplanting. I want to give them as much soil as possible and I think that going straight from the veg(3/4gal) to flower(2gal fabric) pots will not be perfect like getting air pruned too hard going from regs to fabrics or 2g is just straight not be enough. So I was thinking of basically stacking the containers. The video shows what I'm talking about better. Check it out and tell me if it is a good "high-dea" or not?

[hyroot]

That works. Ive seen it done outdoors with 5 gals sitting on top of a raised soil bed. I veg in 1.5 gals then transplant into 7 gal. Next run Im going to maybe get some 30 gals and do mini beds with 3 or 4 plants in each pot.

 

[Dirtyserb]

There website blows IMO. It is unorganized and doesn't show other product like their T8 led bars that they have had for a year. You are best off, as many on here have done, is to call them and inquire
This is the only page that has anything worthy of reading and it is missing a bunch... http://www.apachetechinc.com/cms.php?id_cms=4. The RW spectrum chart is for the R1...where is the R2's sheet? Like I said, the business side of the company is lacking but the products are legit.

Let me try and say as much in an organized fashion as I can about the AT120...
-120 1watt cree diodes driven at 100%
-Pulls 157w from the wall(120led+driver and fans)
-Ideal coverage is 2.5x3 but works fine in 3x3's
-1090umols @12" or 712umols@18"(recommended height)
-11"x13"x3"
-the WR2 is the best light and is for veg and ideal flower.
-The blues are obsolete now cause the white is a coated blue so the plants are getting all the blue they can handle other beneficial spectrum with the white chips

I am open to answer all the questions I can about the lights and their tech...or the company to the best that I can. I don't speak 100% for the company as I don't work there but they have given me certain privileges because I'm loyal and help them out with things and I have an online presence. Like a discount code for people(PM me) and the inside on what is happening(which is gold to a nerd like me. )

hey tags so should i be going with the red and blues or the white and reds?

I'm glad to help an answer questions...but I have been answering this question a lot this last week. If you have read any of this thread you would see...just look back literally 5 post,, which you would have been on when posting this^^^. And there is more on the topic the page before that.
This is from the page right before this one...

Thanks for watching. Glad to have you joining the apache side.

And the page before that....

Brother Tags Which Specturm Would You Recomend 4/1 or The 3/2?

The code still works(RBK331). There is no time limit to it as long as I am around. The AT120 is a great light and I am happy to pay for the quality, but that discount makes it way more practical and easier to pull the trigger.

White3/Red2(WR2's) is the best light. It is the best flowering light hands down and it veg's great even with the enhanced red. It is the the WR serries is the one that they worked with nasa to develop. Apache was the actually company who worked with nasa unlike illumitex and some others who use/claim it because of nasa, but didn't help develop it.

So again...White/Red 3:2 does it all and is the only one I would buy when I get more. Veg's good and is the best flower light. I would suggest the Blue/red model for someone who is running HID and LED together cause it is a great supplement to the spectral issue with HID's. The BR are good but the WR2 is hands down the way to go.

The WR series is the spectrum that everyone claims to be using now because Nasa helped develop it...well apache is the actual company who they worked with to develop the spectrum. More and more research is showing that though red and blue are the most sensitve to plants they are not the only light needed for the full process for photosynthesis, and that green is actually playing a bigger role than previously thought. The "full color spectrum" white, is actually mostly blue with small green/yellow and then peaking again back in the red area. This comes off white to our eyes but the plants see it as blue with broader enhanced red and minor green. That is why it looks to be mostly white when in fact the WR2 are still red wavelength dominate.

EDIT: I apologize if this seemed like a bitchy or snappy post. I realize that dirtyserb was probably on page 3 when quoting and asking but as I said it is in the thread and very recent at that. Get the WR2 and you won't be disappointed I guarantee it.

Nice Explaination Brother Tags.Im Glad Im Not The Only One That Belives Theirs More Benefit To Be Had By Adding Green And Yellow Via White Leds

Check this out...the coolest thing I have ever seen. I am so jealous they got to smoke a J that was in space. I said they should have rolled hundreds of joints and kept a stash.

And I really want a cut from the clone. It survived the journey and freezing temps and is vegging out.

[Chronikool]

^^^ Great way to avoid customs....anyone know how much shipping this way is? (stealth option of course...)

 

[djwimbo]

So, we should send some SpaceDawg up there.

Also, "filmed outside of the US" ??? That's a Dodge truck, and that looks a whole hell of a lot like CA.

Maybe they are talking about the air space....

Exactly...As in filmed outside(not indoors) in the US. I may or may not know they guys and i would bet they didn't go to canada to do it.

If people started using weather balloons to transport large quantities, then I'll get real good at shooting them down.
