Unsponsored Blue Dream photoperiod girls flowering under a Viparspectra KS5000 and Spider Farmer SF-UV30 grow light. Day 33 and the girls look good to me. Floraflex watering system, Jacks 321, and 6" rockwool keep the plants thriving.

I use now 6 x 660w leds. Before was growing 600w hps. Some things i noticed:
1. Of course much better control over heat. Its big plus, leds are emiting some heat but for me emits perfect amount during winter in uk so thats enough to maintain good temperatures (not too cold). Only rare times i need heater during lights on, if its super cold ourside.
2.Humidity is higher than with hps. I dont know if its proper to say (as humidity is relative measurement) but some how hps lights dry up humid air. With only leds the humidity is harder to control so a dehumidifier helps a lot.
3. The plants flowering time little bit shorter.I dont know if its just for me, but for example the flowering time with hps was 8 full weaks and couple days, with leds its half a week or week shorter. Of course, depends on the strains too.
4. And the yields are much bigger for sure. The quality i would say also, but not that huge difference like quantity.
fotos are of my last round Californian Gelato, using 6 x 660w leds

Im loving the Evo 8 so far it runs super cool compared to the 600w HPS I was running in years past . The light coverage is fantastic and the girls love it . It’s currently running at 5/10.
This coming Monday is my day off and I’ll be taking care of the transplant!
Great build!
