Here’s the chuck Norris got 715 watts in there at the moment swap the 400hps for 600 in flower.

Bit of bald spot at the back not sure wheather to flip or not.

Just busted it all down that’s why it’s laid over

40% off in house genetics today on Neptune.... got the platinum cake in my cart normally a 300 usd pack.... it’s 243 ausd after discount and shipping, with the exchange rate that’s pretty good... platinum cake was featured in high times magazine recently and looks amazing, these are feminized seeds too.F95765A4-173C-45DC-AB79-BED4D1F1EC2C.png

Well I won’t be doing a sog under the leds again got buds the size of my index finger.View attachment 4271427
Somethings wrong then because my hps and leds are producing almost the same quality atm. Heat in summer bringing the hps yeilds downing and I do notice the leds popcorn isn’t as tight but no major differences. My low power strips are almost touching the tops of the buds (need to get a new driver and overdrive them) which the new solskin board can’t do without burning shit.

My 4x cob+fullspec is doing a good job job so far ..it's the equivalent of a 400 hps .. day 6 from seed..15485530292130.28386431911385746.jpg

I fucked up from the start mate. Also had a fuck up in my small tent.

I’ll keep going I know these leds can produce cause @Papasmurf99 and @Bongsmoke420 have had good yields. My first attempt an I made a few mistakes.

I’m going back to what I know to I use to use rock fusion grow an bloom and supercharge an resonator. I’m going back to that

It’s marketed as a 400w hps equivalent but it’s isnt (doubt it’d put perform a 250w hps) Then again you didn’t want to listen to the guys on here telling you it was trash before you bought it.
Nobody said it was trash . Like I said I don't give a fuck anyway. Cause I still haven't paid for the light it's the best light I could get in the circumstances, and it wasn't advertised as 400w .. I went through some shit to find that part out .. so have fun with Ur anal tubing . Haha. At least ur boyfriend will be able to see what he's doing :hump::weed:

why is it shit
1) unknown cob diodes, so quality and output is unknown
2) unknown drivers, so you can’t tell how many photons of light your producing (how hard your running the cobs) or how electrically efficient they are.
3) they use the same false advertising to promote their products to people who don’t know better (eg. claiming an led rig is a 400w hps replacement that makes 300w, when the 300w is actually the max
Lamp power which is nowhere near the ability of the drivers to reach)
4) OLD TECHNOLOGY

How much power and time u put into that shit u using ..
Well my first ever diy build was a bridgelux strip build and cost me $200 in parts including the aluminium and screws to build the frame and produced 2+ oz on the first run.

The single solskin board (trying them
Instead of a quantum board because Aussie) I just got cost me a bit more (buying a full kit was $$) but is also able to be driven much harder.

I’m diving them both at 130w (so 260w total) and using them to actually replace a 400w hps in a 2x4 space (a little small for the hps). No loss in yeilds (actually small increases over summer so far with less heat)
