Decided to ck in on the ol bitch here, and she's getting big maybe a little to big at least for the space i've got, from the looks she might have to finish outside at a later date, we've already had our last freeze so, now i'm just waiting till the temps get up a bit and also sun time cause she just started into her flowering....yep the the 3k led bulbs addition did work....pretty happy about that .... welp back to ,my experiementsIMG_20190312_204102[1].jpg

LOL touche! I'm still considering it. Unfortunately, I'm in the midst of an appliance revolt so I dare not add to their ranks at the moment.
It a serious investment, unless you are planning to grow for a while, I'd save the money and go buy some HPS gear, it goes for a song these days, with all the clamouring for LED...
I'm saying that as one of the few builders on here who has done a multi-kilowatt LED grow 2 years ago already. And I still have 1 Kilowatt of Samsung strips in use.

i'm only running about 150watts right now, and look what i'm doing.....so....and this is just to one plant....

i've been slowly building this area, only plan i've got right now is to actually add prolly one more panel, and then supplement the lighting as needed...

i've never messed with HPS stuff, i went from CFL straight to LED Bulbs and into panels.....

it's a redneck thing i guess...

LED's intrigue me because of our electrical rates and summer heat. It would be perfect to run HPS during the winter and LED as it warms up.

Cobs can store heat on a heatsink for a bit and insullate the hell out of the space for running in a cool environment. But this wont work in every scenario.
Veg lights really are imo a good place to start because they typically run at least 1/3 longer and i think strips are a good match for this, though I dont have any. Tune your game, cut power use then expand to flower.

I like to use high numbers of cobs (22 in a 3x3 at 320 watts) but this is more a facor of the type of light I first built when I started building.

No need to go for the highest bin latest led either.

Interisted to see what you come up with.

Look if you run a full room or on sized appropriately to the grow op, cold will not be a problem, There is only a reduction of energy going in, but not like 50%, I would say more realistically 25 to 30%.
The benefit is that you save this power year round and only have to run a bit more juice in summer and winter for those extremes. We are at the time of year where my climate control is a 60W ceiling fan. I'm not hearing complaints about saving money for a month or two,

Well..this is part of the aftermath from the Colorado blizzard. 100mph winds tore the side of the 50k sq ft GH. Good bye hemp farm. This was all their mothers for cloning and planting on the 160 acres. Now they fkd. They wont get up and running by planting season now. Ive left the company, no reason to stay and clean up all that just to not make it by planting season. Its rough on that farm. I learned a great lot from all the things that can go wrong on a farm daily etc.
Just read the front range westher report..blizzard #2 might come on 10 days.
