Hey man found stumbled across your journal I have questions.

Where do I get these L.e.d.s

And do they yield as much as hps.
Hey mate good to have you here, your table setup is awesome it’s great to see how all these different method being used these days. Little scared of hydroponics atm simply because I don’t want to flood my house, but I might try my hand at deep water culture one day.... I’m getting good results with house and garden nutrients and a soilless mix.

About the leds, they are a HLG quantum boards diy kit 260 watt. There is an Australian seller called quick bloom lights. Check out their website, if not I would but direct from HLG in the states but I wouldn’t order over a 1000 dollars worth coz then I think you have to pay a import tax... I remember reading something silly like that.

As for yields, the size of my nugs and density have improved a lot, guys that grow with hps are surprised what I’m getting from led. I just harvested a Bruce banner from a 15 litre pot.... very big dense nugs they are probably a couple of days away from cure and I haven’t lost much size at all. Before I put it in paper bag total weigh was 170 grams expecting to lose a few more grams but should have 6 oz easy and that’s one plant..... now I’m doing ten and most of them should be in same sought of harvest timeframe... don’t want to really think about the numbers but I’m aiming for a p n half possibly over just have to keep up the water to them and who knows. Haha hope that gave you some answers bud.

my Tent is a 1200x 1200 x 2000

-about 505 watts at the wall
But the one kit is 500w equivalent,
I put both kits together myself got my electrician friend to check it over before firing it up but they go very easily together. Less heat. Pricey tho 525 a pop little bit cheaper from the states

Ive got v1 288 board version and a v2 288 board and different spectrum one is 3000 k other 3500 k I think I get a good mix of light.... I would say it would come close, I’ve never used 1000 watt before but I’m very impressed with what I am producing if got nothing to lose and more to gain why not ;-)
