looks fine to me in the end regarding quality and yield is about the same as my 600w hps and cmh led side lighting setup. quantaum boards all the way boys.

one close up

yeah my quantum board came out just fine. 4 average plants yield was 14 oz so 3.5 per plant. very pleased. made biscuits with all the scraps and god damd the fucked me up. simmered all the leaves and scraps a whole bin full..... and put 1kg of butter in the pan ended up with 160g of super...

I spotted this by taking a random shot then noticed it whilst zooming in to study it....

Im going through this right now. my way around this is to spray them with a product called trounce then the day after water. I actually take mine into the shower hold them upside down and give them a damd good rinse. repeat this process 3 times with a day off after the shower. BUT as soon as you...

I have put 2 clones aside from the same mother vegged for 4 weeks 18l pot coco same nutes and i'll compare against the 600 and the hlg 550. this is one of the ladies from the 600w with voter's as side lights. I'll keep it even and this one in with the hlg too. it is hot at the moment but temps...

your right there it is a nightmare. I remember the very first great big huge metal ballast's with vents on the sides.... now the tiny little digital beasts run cooler and more efficient. I never even attempted flowering with my viper's...they are side lights when required.... hopefully the 550...

the quantum boards with the mean well drivers? seen them on alibaba.com I had a quote for £200 includes all costs delivered to my door. they are getting bigger I noticed a 804 board with a 600w driver on there yesterday. think they said there was x2 boards with 804 led's on them. 1608 led's...

I agree on the blurple bit especially with viparspectra, ok for veg but not enough red for flowering.

don't get me wrong I'm all for led. helps out with heat in summer. cuts bills and buying bulbs every couple of months. once I've used mine for vegging I'll pop it in for flowering and i will soon see.

and I stated 'I HAVE ONLY USED MINE FOR VEG'....

depends where you are in the world maybe some people rely on the heat from a hps.... no need for the tense abrupt reply. like I said DO WHATEVER HELPS YOU OUT THE MOST....... omg hps emit 360° of LIGHT!!!!! I've only been using them since 2002 holy mother of god next you'll be trying to tell me...

hi guy's I have just purchased a hlg 550 and I'm sure it's performance to what I have seen is closer to a 315w cmh or a 400w hps. just you watch soon they will have reflector wings to control light spread. I might fabricate mine and let you know. at the end of the day do what helps you out the...

vitalink also sell an addative for temps that exceed 30°c

I'd try keep it below 30°c but like you say it's been hot. without looking I'd say take them out get some clean water or even a flushing addative raise them off the floor and let a few gallons pass through them. then feed them via the leaves with 1/4 strength feed try find something with iron in...
