Need a LED light for a 3x3 going for a pound

a larger area 4x4 and 500- 600 watts of quality led or induction (460w). area 51, apache tech, inda gro induction. Also high yielding genetics... The main factor in yield is genetics. You wont get a pound with cookies. but you can with big cola strains

first round with these strains. experimenting with 13/11.. My theory. when switching back to 12/12 the buds swell 2-3 times within a week. That happened the first time. i went back to 12/12 earlier than this time.. It's also strain dependent.

Must be the IG thing to do....Spliff does the same thing...

'The ladies have been at 12/12 since day 56, and have been plumping up quite a bitand putting up more and more trichomes, but very few of them are ambering up at this point. Tonight will see the girls getting a very aggressive flush; harvest will be within the next 5 days or so.'

Well the funds wouldn't come from me so were trying to get at the very least his money back the first run, and if it's 2k a light it won't happen lol

you have to think of it in the long run... life time limited warranty 3 years full coverage 50% cost for life.. No cost of replacement bulbs and disposing of them twice a year. No 8 inch fan for cooling / venting light 230w. $60 in electrical savings per month vs a 1000w hps.. You will save $700 a year. You can get 4 a51 panels for less than an apache at 600 . just email area 51.. or you can get an inda gro with led pontoon with a 10 year warranty.. for even lesstoo. again no fan for venting and no bulb changes...

I would do two of the Evergrow M9's.

Should be in the $1200 range before shipping. (Same as bud master in the UK)
Modular, custom spectra, smart plugs. They have large 16 module panels and are working on bigger, but I find I can get better PAR and less watts keeping them close to the canopy. 3 x M6 would work too.

The standard spectra is:
16x 660nm, 3x 460nm, 3x 630nm, 1x 2700K, 2x 10,000K
Looks like: http://i.imgur.com/whiS0dD.png

I would contact them and see if there is a reseller in your area. If not, message me and I can find one through my contact.

I am now on the 7th day using a BML SPYDR 600 + 2 @ 3ft BML bars as side lighting in a 2 x 4 area.

Now 29 days since first pistils.

Most early development was under 432w hot5, which I've used for 2+ years

The spine is 3ft wide. 6 bars each @ 3ft = 3x3 of evenly spaced 3 watt emitters

So far, I am very pleased.
