Led lights watts advertised vs actual watt output???

Average oz around here is 250-300 doll hairs.. I am under that total for,my whole set up. So if I can get an oz. Total. I'm more than happy.. I set my bars low... Less disappointment that way lol

Yes it looks like a little time was put into it...and 4 fans should help keep it cool too...they prob could of used 2, but I like that it has 4...well worth $70 IMO

I do it that way too...investment equals how many oz's...can I get that...ummmm...lol
Here its about $150-200/oz and up if online shopping
 
Exactly. Actually the well built frame.. The actual wattage and the quad fans are the main reasons I got it. Has 2 inlet fans and 2 outlet fans.

Haha that's how ive been looking at it. If it can save me,money in the long run.. That's really the point. I'm a heavy smoker and I hate dishing out money to other people. This way I can have my own and not worry about it

Ya I'm limited on space myself...my room is 8x8 feet but I wanted to do perpetual grows and 4 tents just wouldn't work in this room...so made a big box with 4 2x4 foot boxes in the 1 big one...each is only 40" in height so I did a bit of custom building of my hyrdo setup so it all fits...2 plants every 35-ish days...around 2oz each makes me happy and fills my script nicely :P

That's pretty cool. Wish I had room. After this run ill be switching to all autos so I don't have to worry about different light cycles for different plants. If I do it right I should be able to have a rotation of 2 and 2 plants
 
I've been strain hunting . trying to get somthing not to big and finishes faster on average.I have a sweet gelato I have started but it had a shitty "birth" popped its shell and was borderline undeveloped/premature. But got advice on here to wait it out.. It bounced back but easy 2 week set back

I have 6 strains...3 clonable now and 3 still growing up.
I'm trying a Gorilla Glue #4 feminized seed now...well 2 clones of the mother, but it seems to be going ok.
I also do super cropping, LST and scrogg'd this time so the height is about 6" from panel (top of pot) to scrog net and tops raise about 3-4" from there...figure about 6-8" colas when done. x 2 plants.

Sweettttt looking nice. Next I have to figure out odor control. Closets not sealed off and they are sliding doors. Running ducts is not an option either. So I have some googling to do

Maybe take the original doors off...leave the permanent hardware pieces if needed...build a thin/small frame for couple small doors/bi-fold doors ?
Then cover any open areas with thin 1/8" board.
Then you could run ducts in and out of the doors in some way I'm sure...in near bottom...out near top...or what ever...lol
I have a similar problem for my closet...2 sliding doors and its 2x4 feet but goes up 8 feet so I use top area for storage and put shelves about 6 feet up. I still have to do doors for it but soon I should have it ready to start up...gonna make it a mother room for 3-4 mothers if I keep them kinda small...I hope...lol
For now I'm just using the sliding doors and fight around them for now...just have a few clones in there now under 8x32W 4' florescent lights on looooong chains. :P

DGNH - the specs show 10 IR diodes. Two of those LED's would give you 20 IR's which seems like a lot for your 6 square foot grow area. Too much IR can "sunburn" the plants. So before getting a second one, perhaps one of those LED's fixtures with some supplemental lighting might be a better option.

You mentioned a few posts back that you have 4 100 W CFL bulbs. Are they 100 W equivalent bulbs that only draw 23 real W? Or do they actually draw 100 W per bulb?

They are 100w not eq and I believe this light will do just fine by its self. It already has them budding. And the buds are getting bigger and more plentiful every day. . they haven't gotten any ill signs of light stress. They are healthy as can be
