indution light grow(with a few questions)

this is my first in door grow and im starting with a closet grow with a 400w induction light..durbian posion as the strain to start......

has anyone used this type of lighting and in a 3x3 ariea what should i expect to yeild i have done lots of outdoor growing before im just looking for a yeild estimate.....veg 25 days then flowering....lights are 20 inces away from the 9 plants

?? and there are rumors of these lights being the equivliant of 1000w hid even 1800w hid i cant see this being true but can somone inform me that knows a bit about these

If you lamp is anything like this:

with 80lm/w then it's not impressive, in my view, but never seen it used before.

The lifespan looks awesome.

i have a 250w induction and i have replaced it with 400w sodium and everything goin well but dunno bowt the equivilant to 1000w.
good luck would like to see a pic

In general I hope it goes excellently! I really think that these induction lights have extreme potential. PROS: Low heat, 400w spread out instead of focused to a single point, Extremely PAR and hormonally effective, solid non-toxic mercury oxide pellets used in the place of mercury, extremely long life CONS: Some feel it is lacking red spectrum to make massive buds, 80-90lm/w is still good but 25-45lm/w off from a HPS bulb.

Simply put though to the average led grower 400 watts seems like the perfect fit for a 3'x3' area. If you can maintain your plants properly you shouldn't have a problem, but there is one blaring thing that you could do that would help especially in flowering. Outside the plant is just reaching it's highest concentration of light (at the tips) as it finishes flowering. It would be my suggestion that you add 100 watts of T-5 to the corners and walls 2 weeks into flowering (with 660nm Coral bulbs), or 100watts of either those shitty drop shipped pure 660nm 225 led 14w panels/ bloom booster bulbs that certain LED companies produce.

If it is approached properly I'm sure that you could do amazing things with that light! Incrementally increasing wattage always makes for great bud.
Hope it helps,

i just wrapped up a comparison-ish grow between an Inda-Gro Pro-420-PAR and a 600w HPS (Sun Systems Yeild Master II-6" Supreme). you can check it out at https://www.rollitup.org/led-other-lighting/506257-inda-gro-induction-38.html.

what brand is your EFDL? i only ask because i have used a few different brands, and there are certainly differences between them.

i need to get back to the rooms and get back to busy, but i'll check back later. -=o) take care.

If you are still around would love an update. I just purchased an Inda-Gro Pro 420. Seems to be the way of the future.
