just started following your thread and it's awesome. haven't done anything myself yet, but the prospect of led's has me interested. what do you know about the 180w led's by the same company that gave you the 600. that thing is nice but it's 2 g's and i only wanted to invest about half of that on lights...if you had a grand to spend on lighting and wanted to grow say 6-10 plants, what LED lighting would you go with?

ya its real cool seeing them turn into solid buds and ger rock hard. i love the end also. i will post pics on the scale when there all dry, so we can see what this light is all about? although i have to admit this light grows some dank ass buds.

i am watching a grow right now on another place with his 180w and it looks good to me. if i had a grand to spend and i was going to buy led not HID i would just buy a few of the GLH 180's. you will get more foot print for your money with the 180's. i am not a big fan of the bigger units like this 600w, thats why i am trading it in for a few 300w units.

the thing that amazes me with this light is these are the first led plants i have grown that had finish on time when they are to be done. usaly the leds seem to drag out the flowering an extra 2-3 weeks. they are already done right now i am just giving them more flush time, plus the trim crew wont be available until Sat..

three 300w panels
hell yeah man thats a hookup but in all actuality you hooked mike up with this great test of his lights i am super impressed with them and i will be gettin a few from him very soon

very true bro i guess its a 2 way street. i still cant believe leds grow these buds. i am in lost of words? i was just about to give up on leds and go back to hps and just not grow in the summer heat, but that might all change now. this next grow will give us allot of good info on how well leds grow in 100F+ weather.
before people start making claims to LEDs, a TRUE side by side comparison should be done.
ie. a 600w TOP OF THE LINE HPS vs a 600w TOP OF THE LINE LED.
multiple batches of clones should be used (of different strains, since one strain may react better to LEDs than another), to remove phenotypes and genetics as a factor of growth.
they should be grown in hydro to maximize growth, and supplemented by CO2. The idea is to remove as many bottlenecks of growth as possible, to isolate the TRUE effect of LED/HPS.
This grow journal has shown us that 600 watts of LED can successfully grow plants. I was at one point considering a 250w LED panel, mostly since the manufacturer made claims of it being the equivalent of a 600w HPS. However, after seeing a 600w LED journal, its clear that a 250w would not have even come close to a 600w HPS.
I apologize if I made this post too soon, as you havent even harvested yet.

i agree side x side is the only way! you should do a side by side with hydro and co2. there are already side by side about to happen with these leds a 300w led vs 400w hps and a 600w led vs a 600w hps. this grow of mine wasn't to show that leds are better then hps but to grow me some personal meds. i dont really care what anyone buys hps or leds because i make no money from sales.

Hey Irish- just stopping by to say hi- my Pure skunk is lookin good right now. She loves the 180 Prosource LED with some CFL bulbs thrown in on the side.
Your harvest is going to be killer!! I can't wait for the choppy chop
