Me too. It's not just about managing heat in the fixture, but also the tent/room.

Great thread guys. I wish they made an Apollo 9 with a 3x3 configuration for those of us growing in square tents. Would be perfect for a 3 foot square tent.

Exactly. And what happened to the "(2) 300w LED GrowPanel Pros by Sunshine Systems". In your last post you now say you used 4 panels by HGL? I am struggling to take any of this seriously.

Come on guys! Let's get serious for a minute. Almighty, did you really only get 260g from 2000w of HPS lighting? If so, I recommend you get an experienced grower to help you out, because even by beginners' standards, that is shocking. You really should be pulling at least 1000g from that...

Get used to it. Seems to be par for the course with LED grows. Manufatcurers don't like it when their products are demonstrated not to perform as advertised.

The buds themselves look fantastic. Great job there! :bigjoint: Having said that, 120g from 600w is pretty poor - so poor in fact that surely noone would want to buy those LED units, regardless of price. I decided to mess around with CFLs in my last grow to see what all the fuss was about and...

I have been using Envirolites for a while. I have three of them (1x250w blue and 2x250w red). However, they only draw about 195w of power each with a power factor of 91%, so I am only getting about 180w of light out of each of them (measured on power meter). Just something to bear in mind.

I see HydroGroLed aka Ledgirl aka Cammie has now been banned from pretty much all the other sites too! It never ceases to amaze me how some people will spend hundreds of dollars on a totally unproven product. I guess they are like Fox Mulder - they want to believe. I can't help thinking...

I agree that 107 grams from 330w is a bit disappointing. And while improved techniques, such as keeping the light closer, will almost certainly bring about an improvement, I still think LEDs at present are a long way off the touted 2g/watt mark many manufacturers are claiming. Having said...

Thank you for putting very eloquently what I have been thinking for months now! We must be on the same wavelength!

Thanks for posting final yield. The buds look very nice and compact, but only 107g from 330w is not that great. I think 330w of CFLs would do better. All a learning curve, I suppose. Keep up the good work!

Like many on these forums, I can't wait to see some independent empirical comparisons of what the latest LED grow units can do, particularly in flower (i.e not just manufacturers making ridiculous claims and getting all sensitive when criticised - LED grow forums seem to attract these people...

Having used both for several years, I would agree with what some others have said. I would sum up my opinion as follows: 1. The Volcano is less accurate and you have to vape everything you put in at once. However, it is better when you want to get 4 or more people high at the same time. It is...

I hear you. Wait until one grow is almost done, pack up shop with no results or yield and move on to the next forum. Not what you'd call confidence-inspiring is it?

And....where are the pictures?
