Going from HPS to LED. Worth it?

[Olive Drab Green]

The drivers say 1400 or some shit if that means anything. Im not a wizard with all the math these cobs detail. Im a pretty good gardener so ill be able to adjust and go from there if issues arise.

I suspect that should work well for the volume. I was just going to advise against lower amps, like 700-1100, because I guess Yodaweed wasn't happy with the results? He's also using old CXA2075s or 3070s? But I think 1400-2150 (obviously depending on the chip and what it can handle) will probably have the right intensity and penetration. I, personally, have seen nothing I'm not happy with on my scale, but I have a feeling running chips "hard" or at least not as soft as I said earlier is probably the way to go.

Ya but yours aren't a half a mile in the swamp and growing in the worst drought in the history of man lol. Would love to see the two pounder though, must be quite the plant. I had a Jamaican lambs bread top out at 14' a while back that yielded about 3. If it is ever legal here then yup probably pretty easy to hit 3 or 4 a plant in the veggy garden .

Here ya go;

My 6' tall plants produce 1-2lbs. Each.

Did u ever figure out how many btu's your pulling from your chips using water?

Stay tuned i will show you 3 pound plants n Dec when i fire up a journal three DE units two 315 CMH with NCCS cloud control Going show some real serious bad ass Donkey dicks size of your legs 1/4 - half pound nugs under ccurrent style 6 module grow

 

[Budley Doright]

So I guess I need to expand the garden shed huh lol.

 

[Budley Doright]

I average about 3 ounces a plant running 6 per tote vegging about 10 days after cut but Im just starting to get things going a bit better with the chiller running. Without that is was a bit of a struggle . Starting it up this week hopefully now that I'm done with the chestwaders .

wanna share more pics? lights seem far from the canopy, is that how you run them? clean setup, not my style but I can appreciate it.

 

[MynameisSolo]

As well as conniosseurs varietys its going to be a sick grow with lots of seeds still undecided on which strain that will go into 6 site room.
But New year is a new line of New genetics time for complete change up out with the old in with the new

You're severely overwatering. And slightly N toxic. Nice size, but you need to take better care of it. And you don't necessarily HAVE to train it, but I'd say you should have.

Over watering ?

N toxicity ?

How do you come to those conclusions ?

Pretty easily. See how your lower leaves are limp, droopy, bloated, and curling under themselves from the side? That's painfully obvious overwatering. Then the dark green of your leaves, combined with slight tip clawing is clearly mild to moderate N tox.

If you don't believe me, would you like me to circle the relevant areas for you?
