This thread has more "brothers" than a Belgian monastery. Maybe even more than a black panther reunion...

Sorry Brother Apperantly My Pm Abilitys Have Faded Once Again Lol.Nope I Wanted To Run A 600 Watt 4x4 And This Summer I Will Probley Upgrade To Another 4x4 By Which I Will Run 4 Xgs In That Tent.Brother No Matter Which 1 You Buy You Will Be Happy Happy Happy
No worries, man. I thought it might be on my end, but apparently not.

I'm pretty set on getting four XGS. I just wanted to get an opinion from someone with experience first. I'll be sure to do a journal when everything is up and running in the next couple of months!

RIU was offline most of the day Sunday. I got back on late in the day but that was sporadic. On for a little while, then unresponsive again.

My comment to Toke (Post #59) was based on another forum member trying a few times to PM me before he finally got thru, just a short time before I read Toke's post. That was Saturday, not Sunday.

Yeah, site has been flaky.

Ok, Dawg tell me I if I am right or wrong (I can take it, been married 23 years)...
So if you had 2 A51 190s in a 4x4 that would be 380 electrical watts or 720 light watts....190x2 and 360x2...in 16 sqft.

45 light watts per sqft
23.75 electrical watts per sqft

Yes/no?

What would be the most you could use before the shit hits the fan?
I ask because this is what I have right now and you are talking about double that....

I think I read that when using street lights (hehe) the goal is to shoot for 50 per sqft...of course there are other parameters...just trying to keep it as close to apples and apples as possible.

What say you?

Brother Balke Buds Where Are You Comming Up With The Light Watts Per Square Foot Are Doubled The Electrical Output Of The Lamp?That Sounds Like Some Chinesse Marketing BullShit!Their The Same Brother Unless While I Was Asleep Some New Fangled Math Was Invented.

Now About Light Saturation And Watts Per Square Foot.Thats A Debate That Well Depends More On Your Grow Style More Than Anything Else Imho.Look At My 2x4xl Tent Ive Done Very Well With 23 Watts Per Ft.Now With My Grow Style I Would Be Seriously Under Lighted For A 4x4.:bigjoint:

I Just Love How Sweet And Innocent My Little Seedlings Look At This Stage.Starting With The Far Left Is The BlueBerry HeadBand With The Other 3 Power Skunks.After A Couple Of Years Growing With Led's I'm Going Back To My Roots Of Old School Growing.Before My Love Affair Begun with Led's I Would Use 2x23 5000k Cfls For The First 2 Weeks Of Growing Then Week 3 I Would Add My 400 Watt Cmh.Ha Ha You Know Where The Dawgie Dawg's Going That Right At The Start Of Week 3 Of Veg Its Full Power Full Spectrum :bigjoint:

Dawg,

I dunno!!!!!
That is why I am asking!!!!!!!

What I did was took 5watt x 72 = 360 watt (light watts)
And 190 watts is the max setting current draw.

Ok Now Im On Your Page.If You Were To Drive The Leds At Full Power They Wouldnt Last Very Long And Not Be Very Effecient.With Leds The Amount Of Electrical Draw(Actual Light Output) Will Always Be Less Than The Amout Of Leds Used.:bigjoint:

Sup D? Have you ran that blueberry headband before? I think I've got a couple freebies from the 'tude last year. Ive thought about running them a cpl times.. just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

There always so cute at this stage, right before they start crawling around and getting into shit.

Right On Brother YodaWeed.I Love My Scroggs And When I Decided To Go Hydro I Had To Come Up With A System That Not Only Allowed Me To Check On My Roots But It Couldnt Interfear With the 20 Plus Res Changes I Do.

Here's My DIY WaterFarm With Attached Screen

Yes You Can Put Up To 4 Waterfarms With The Corrected Screen Size In A 4x4.However My Suggestion Is 1 Plant Per Light And Veg For 5-6 Weeks Filling In Your Screen As Much As Possible Before You Flip To Flower.

What up Dawg? I can't believe you are running blueberry headband. I am considering poping the seed I have now. Did you get it as a freebie from attitude?
I am kinda disappointed with the C99 and NL I am growing now so I am looking for my next. What was your favorite strain to grow in a waterfarm?

Brother X I Bought My BlueBerry HeadBand Last Summer Cause A Buddy Of Mine Brought Some With Him From The West Coast.Its Was Potient And Supposed To Be A High Yielder.
I Hear Ya On The Disapointment Of The C-99.I Belive Mosca Strain To Be The High Yielder.As Far As The High Is Concerned Its A 9 Out Of 10 And I Will Grow It Again.
So Far My Favorite Strain Is The Kanabia PowerSkunk.She's A Nice Yielder And I Would Rate Her High As A 7.Now Im Hoping The BlueBerry HeadBand Will Take Her Place.:bigjoint:
