Bagseed Reveg - 28watts of LED

Just imagine the whole grow -as it ' unfolded' to be -,under 28 Watts of CFL or HID lights (automobile ones ) .....
What would have been the yield then ?
Just an estimate ?

My guess is that would have never been 11 grams ...
Not even close ....

Always wanted to do a vertical scrog with a single car hid lamp.

I didnt realise but those "xenon" type lamps are just primed with xenon. They're metal halides (with a sealed outer shell?) apparently.

primed with xenon.???


Xenon is a noble gas ...
Adding Xenon to a lamp ,you increase blue light output ..
(Xenon Gas emits blue light ,when ionised ..)


In a gas-filled tube, xenon emits a blue or lavenderish glow when the gas is excited by electrical discharge. Xenon emits a band of emission lines that span the visual spectrum,[SUP][47][/SUP] but the most intense lines occur in the region of blue light, which produces the coloration.[4


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon

vOv from wiki

"Automotive HID may be called "xenon headlamps", though they are actuallymetal-halide lamps that contain xenon gas. The xenon gas allows the lamps to produce minimally adequate light immediately upon start, and shortens the run-up time. The usage of argon, as is commonly done in street lights and other stationary metal-halide lamp applications, causes lamps to take several minutes to reach their full output.
The light from HID headlamps exhibits a distinct bluish tint when compared with tungsten-filament headlamps."

I didnt mean primer. no idea what the technical term is, lol.

LOL! ...

( At one moment I was thinking :

"Am I left behind that much ? Can we use gases as primers,by now ? How the heck they make them adhere to glass ?
....
Stoned,of course ....)

28watts of CFL would be laughable at best and I don't think I've seen an HID light under 70watts. When you put it that way, I feel better lol...

the low wattage HID lamps were talking about are these HID car headlights you can get - theyre normally either 35W or 55W each.

Lol! I think they'd grow some weed but I can picture it now...

"Honey, the car isn't starting this morning..."

I just thought I'd finish this with a smoke report...

The bud is fluffy/frosty (except the tops, which are solid). Neutral smell (only been around a week since chop...) when sitting but break it up and you'll get a skunky/pine-sol lemon smell (pungent). Taste is fairly bland and the smoke is exceptionally smooth (it leaves a thin film on the inside of your mouth upon exhale (lingering taste/an aspect I enjoy for some reason...). One hit and I feel a slight pressure on the bridge of my nose/under my eyes (great feeling...), another hit and I feel like turning the music up, and another makes my heart race/gets me irie... Good day time weed.

On another note, I feel as though mother nature is smiling on me... I chopped EVERYTHING off of my plant and left absolutely no foliage (except a few calyx here and there...). I tossed her outside, lo and behold I noticed she has begun revegetation... I don't think I'll be able to complete another grow in the time frame that I'm looking at but I'm going to run with this, I feel I've been deemed responsible... I need to work on my lighting setup, desperately.

For anyone who cares/my own personal notes:
Currently veg/flower under - 10xWW 3xNW
My thoughts on this particular source of light is that it is vegetative specific. I feel as though the 660 red that I'm lacking will complete my flowering spectrum and Luxeons Rebel ES looks like my main candidate atm (RapidLED.com).
I feel as though 2.5/3:1 (WW:HR) is a good ratio.
What I'm looking at for this next grow:
Another panel just like the one I have, except I will work on them to re-arrange LEDs and to incorporate the 660. Total LEDs:18xWW/6xRed660/2xNW (Cree XT-E/I will be e-mailing them about getting 2200k on PCB stars, if not I will stick with 2700k). I've yet to arrange them/add anything special/finish this J... Feel free to share your thoughts... See you all soon...

Have you seen how well my clones are doing under ONE 22w RP Utilitech globe bulb?

I think everyone has seen by now Pet

Look at the spacing on those clones... Tight!!! Sorry PF, I lurk a lot but rarely leave comments! It's a habit for me (being a forum-phantom...). Thanks for sharing and I'll definitely keep myself updated...

This thread? Sticky?! Maybe when I actually get it right ...


EDIT:
I top dressed/filled the sides of the smart pot with a mixture containing:
Equal parts: Kelp, Alfalfa, Crab meal... (Couldn't find Neem seed meal/will scratch in later)
Also a good helping of Gaia green glacial rock dust, some powdered bentonite and some mycos.

This 2gal pot definitely has a soil that's alive(I swear fungus has started colonizing the soil...), so I won't fuck with it (just recharge it ). My reveg girl has tiny little leaves, but I'll have a picture sooner or later... And probably another thread.
