Hey Bibbles! Sharing my DWC 6 x 4 tent Day 36 of an 18/6 veg on a single inda-gro 420. Started flipping to flower with a one hour a day adjustment to 12/12. Going to do LST on a lattice to finish this on out. Bigger roots do me mean bigger fruits and I can't lift them out of the buckets anymore.

Do you see a big advantage with your indagrow over let's say a 240 w black star led with 2 single tube 2ft T5, or a 500w black star led or a dimmable 400w ran at 300w. I currently run a 8bulb t5 and I get 84 degrees with lights on and 77 lights off

My keyboard died, not me, haha. Just entered week eight, however it's looking like there may be an extra strain or two, everything is on point to come up by week 10 other than the tangerine dream which looks like it's still in week four - bud sites everywhere, building upon more bus sites, but nothing has really put on any weight yet.

I would say stick with T5, or go induction (less you have the environment to control HPS heat). LEDs are never what they are cracked up to be. They are efficient, but the amount needed, and the wattage make them, in my eyes, inapropriote for most as they cast a very small footprint. If your garden fits unde the LED lamp, then maybe try it... But I doubt you'll notice anything significant.

Thanks man I finally found someone truthful in the LED plunge, what induction would fit in a 32x32" tent and put out more light than an 8 bulb 2ft T5

Off han I would suggest the 200 watt Inda-Gro lamp - That said, it's probably quite a bit more expensive than your T5s. If those lights are doing fine, I would probably make sure the rest of your tent is on point, as those other investments will be cheaper.

But the 200w would be good enough to flower 6 plants in a 32x32 Or 2 scrogd plants wall to walk net?

Probably, I have a tent the same size I plan on using for mothers rather than for veg, when I make that move, I'll probably switch to a 200w. It's mothers, not flowering, but I'm planning on squeezing about 24 mothers in. They say the light will cover 4x4, so I'm sure it's fine. Like I said though, it's about $600.

I'd rather invest in something worth it and not in cheap lights I mean I do have a 300 t5 panel after bulbs so it's worth it for flower, you got me interested in induction not a lot of people are using it and it would be good to have ssome flowering under one for info and FAQ on induction lighting. You always get what you pay for

Well put - I was looking at these and opted for HPS - and here I am again. Inda-Gro has a lot of technical info on their site, and frankly, I wouldn't buy them anywhere else. It's difficult to directly compare them to other light sources as they do not use a lumen rating - but plants are not made of eyeballs anyway, so lumens don't mean much. If you give them a call, they will answer your questions as related to cannabis as well, not just plants in general.

That said, the box does say agricultural lighting, so... You might be able to ask about them covering it up? I'd done quite a bit of research into lighting when I found that HPS, even in cool tubes, produced too much heat for the weather here. And hey, a 100,000 hour life means these will last years and years, the warranty is great, etc.

You made your point and I'm glad I met you on here, induction does seem nice and I will ask for discreet shipping since I do live in an apartment your right 100 days of 100+ weather wouldn't work for an hps

I was asking the same thing and so far if you cant handle the HPS heat, these look more promissint than anything, but i still dont think you will get the density and the depth coverage with them, If you have moeny get one, I am

Yeh for sure dude im more into the fact i'd be able to put 2x420's in a tiny tent fuck all fans and you should be laughing oh and buds grown from a full spectrum light would be nice to have around...

Yea man I watched the 420 go up against a 1000w hps and the buds were 75% of the 1000w but you will need some fans for em but they are really promising

I do not see them as one light fits all. Rives supplemented his with a side rail of was it LEDs or T5s? I think it was LEDs, to cover the far red during mid-flower to finish. They are vg, but do not expect to bring home all the bacon by themselves. A nice HO T5 and the right mix of bulbs will get you closer to phat nugz
