Well I think that for someone just looking for personal meds the set up I'm running is gonna provide more than enough which is 360W of actual power draw (714W max rating). Irish is running DOUBLE the power I am but he gets his panels for free.....lucky bastardNo you're completely right, after looking more and more at the Gotham website I am realizing I will need closer to Irishboys 720w set up than the 360w I had originally estimated. I think I might add a Blackstar 240 and dim my ballast depending on the weather until I can add a Blackstar 600 to finish the full replacement. I am by no means trying to get anywhere near Irishboys numbers, he seems to be on a whole 'nother level using LEDs. My only goal is to reduce my monthly maintenance and retain my dense buds, if I can do better then that's a bonusI grow for myself, my wife and a few friends so high yield is not my priority, only quality
He is running an additional panel this time over the same area and taller plants so will be very interesting to see if the yield goes up or if the plants he ran last time were the penetration limit for those panels. Either way that translates to a yield of about 21 oz for 16 sq ft (4x4) and I'm kinda hoping to see someone try a four light ISIS set up in a 4x4 reflective tent with CO2 and see what kind of numbers they put up......
If you go right on Kessils website is says the same thing. 2' diameter circle so yes four in a 4x4 and that would leave a hole in the middle so definatel possibility for a 5th.

LedBudGuy ran five ISIS-170's over a 24sq ft area with short little plants and pulled just over 27 zips. His journal is on this forum. The ISIS pull about 110W each so that yield was off 550watts
That sounds very realistic in a plant that grows to that pot size.
I want to see a Blackstar grow, a Kessil grow and a Pro-Grow (Hydroponics Hut) grow....all exclusive. Kessil is bright as hell but it just totally reminds me of my LED mechanics flashlight and I want to know what 36 watts can produce. Viagro grew with Kessil but he's not into numbers so waiting on someone else. If I win the lottery am I gonna run one hell of a sidexsidexsidexside lol
Well I'm due to come down about the same time......9 weeks of veg.....those must be some big plants
When you have foliage this thick you're gonna get some popcorn no matter what. Light can only get through so much leaf
Gonna let them just rock anyway and the amount of popcorn should be pretty minimal.
1000w replacements? I don't smoke rock....lol I think they could take a run at 600's maybe but its the last couple weeks that will tell so I shouldn't open my mouth too early
They asked me for feedback when I bought the lights and I told them that pretty much everything I looked into panned out with their company and I really like their history (ISIS) and I liked their knowledge and customer service when I phoned but I freaking hate the reference to 1000W and think it's complete crap and ruins credibility. I'll pass on the link to this forum and see if that can convince their marketing guy/department to cater to the informed consumer instead of mass marketing to idiots
