Mohican's Kessil Grow 2014

if i was gonna do a 6 kessil lights they would be red/deep purple(dp)/dp/ blue/dp/dp i wouldn't go all the way out i would come in 6 inches on the pole also.so whatever is directly under it will be more intense light and get all 6 lights the whole time. the outer plants would get 3 light at a time. oh never asked what size area you using for this sweet setup?

I am worried about the zip ties getting brittle and snapping from the light. Probably fine but coat hanger wire will be bullet proof.

I will also have the goosenecks for additional lighting placement options.

Here is what I have:

Four of these:


General Purpose, Special Penta-band Recipe
The PURPLE model is a general purpose LED grow light that can carry many different kinds of plants through the whole growth cycle. This special penta-band recipe combines five different types of red and blue LED chips to create a spectrum that works for every stage of plant growth.

Two of these:

Bloom Booster
This distinctive RED model is created to work alongside any grow light system. Taking advantage of H150's compact size, this booster light can be easily integrated into most indoor gardening environments. The all red emission will both increase photon intensity and balance the spectrum to the desired region during the blooming and fruiting phases.

One of these:

Vegetative Emphasis, Special Penta-band Recipe
The DEEP PURPLE model features a greater blue to red wavelength ratio to encourage stronger vegetative growth for fuller, healthier plants. Using five different types of LED chips with a strong emphasis on blue wavelengths, this penta-band recipe is designed to keep plants strong.

And one of these:

Flowering Emphasis, Unique Quad-band Formula
With a much higher ratio in the red spectrum than the blue, theMAGENTA model focuses on performance during the bloom phase. This unique quad-band spectrum blends four different types of LED chips together and is ideal for the flowering stages of growth.

Kaptcha crap!

i use zip ties all day in engine compartments for boats. never had one get dry or brittle. as long as its not on high heat they will work just fine. you can make hanger ones but i dotn see why you would have too bro.

Thanks, I will give it a try!

Here are the babies today. I am leaving them under the lights today:

yeah they sent them cause they are good ones. not cheap zip ties. they are nto the ones you buy for cheap. we have cheap ones for electrical wiring under console and good ones for engine area. kessil isnt gonna send you cheap ones bro. we pay $.25 for the good ones that for each one. when the cheap ones are 20 for a $1. i cant wait for you to grow some plants under the 360 with those lights. im so excited for you. its gonna rock bro. 4 dp and 2 red wow. i see big buds in your future. I bet you can get 1 gram per watt or better. i hope you break a record and get 1.5 grams a watt.

The plants are definitely responding well to the lights.

Got two of the lights set up full on the spinner. The others are mounted but I need to mount the power supplies.





I want to organize the cords better.

Mo

That is super sick looking!

put the power pack out on the last 6 inches then use zip ties to secure them and cords. This is one sweet setup bro. i cant wait to see the results. 6 weeks will tell me if i have to have them. you rock bro.

The biggest problem is the long cords that need to be coiled up neatly for each power supply. I have some velcro tape for growing and I can get more at Home Depot.

I saw a big difference when I added the Deep Purple H350. Can't wait to fire up the H150s

The spinner moves so slow I wasn't sure it was working at first. I can never remember which symbol means on! It is so cool to watch the shadows on the floor move and change color

OK - she is full and blaring away!

I ran it for an hour to see what the heat was like and to make sure nothing smoked. All looks good. Can't wait to see them in the morning after getting zapped all night

I also lowered the light a little.

looking sweet bro. since they are turning i would lower them to the max. im jealous. my time for sweet lights are right around the corner. i cant wait to see your babies grow under these lights.

I need to go check them now and see the results!

I'm chompin at the bit Mo. I've been looking at those Kessil for a long time

yes they have great par output. they are spendy but as mo will see i bet worth every penny.

I bet they are too. I'd love to see one in person but there aren't any hydro shops that I know of around here that carry them. Maybe I'll get to see Mo's sometime. We can't be more than about 15 or so miles apart.
