Like many on these forums, I can't wait to see some independent empirical comparisons of what the latest LED grow units can do, particularly in flower (i.e not just manufacturers making ridiculous claims and getting all sensitive when criticised - LED grow forums seem to attract these people like crazy!).

You are doing us all a fine service. Much appreciated. Keep it up and keep the pix coming!
thanks:joint:

Hey I want everyone's opinion on something. I have been following a couple of these led grow journals and I am thinking about building my own in a mini-fridge. Which do you think would work better for that, the Prosource 90w or the Hydrogrow 63w. I wanted to go with the 126w you are testing but I realized my mini-fridge is about half an inch narrower than the 126w light. Glad I realized that before ordering anything. haha. Irishboy props on the grows and thanks for testing these two lights out so we can put to rest all the bs

led girl is bunk started a thread to show how much better lights r never finished so im guessing her and those lame lights r bunk
Why do you have to come on here and try to start shit. What the F@#k is wrong with your ass. If you dont like LEDS stay off of the threads.

Hey Irish sorry BRO.. It ticks me off cause we are trying to find ways to get away from the HPS or HID someone has to start something. So how much coverage at 6" awat from tops is hitting.

you might want to ask led girl on that one. i dont even know if it will do my 3 plants yet. so i cant realy say.

From what I can tell, you can get about what the size of the unit itself it, under it. Like, 3x8" pots, or 2x10" pots. Not too many from what I can see, because you want that light CLOSE....that's my opinion tho...

I see no way to get a 2x3' coverage out of one of those units...2x2 maybe..? Depending on how high you place it. I say no less than 10" which doesn't give you an extremely large footprint to work with. If you want satisfactory results that is...

Not trying to butt in Irish, just puttin in my two cents...from experience thus far.

So with 2x2 footprint I come up with 9 of the 126w for 12'x10'.

Ledgrowing I did read it and it all starts out just what you wrote. The grow journal turns out to be a debate or to rag on someone and then the thread just goes away because no one wants to se 2 or 3 people going back and forth. This is someones grow journal not a bash area. From what I have seen, she has proven more than alot more than anyother LED company, this is what it seems to me. I will not discuss it anymore on this thread. Again sorry Irishboy. I'll just keep watching your grow so far you look like yours is proving pretty good.
Keep up the grow BRO..

guys lets keep it cool!! every one has their own opions. but i realy dont want to see trash talk on here, talking down on other companys lights this soon in the test. if you think her light sucks keep it to your self please, their are alot of people that bought those lights on hear and dont want to hear that.

this is why i am doing this test to find these things out. so instead of saying thigs like that just watch how this test gose with that light and see.

also she dosent post anymore because she got banned from this site so thats why her grow thread is incoplete. their still going other places on the internet right now, i just seen it the other day.

anyone is more then welcome to say what they want on here or talk about what they want i dont care at all, just keep it cool and nice. when we talk about things that how we all learn. dont EVER feel like your thread jacking, because i dont trip off of that stuff, we all learn this way. say or talk about what ever you want just be respectfull!

It's all good. I own three different units, and know which one performs the best. :0) I am a happy camper...

Sorry Irish, again. Much respect.

If the results thus far are any indication, our 63W will match or outperform the PS 90W, and it costs over $100 less.

Hey I did not take it to heart I'm an AS#$OLE anyways. LOL Nah I just want this to go without crap I really need to see this finish out. I need to pick a LED for the bigger set-up so we can get away from 1000w HPS. Although it is really hard because of the buds we are getting with them. Then I look over and see 2 plants we lost because the hose kinked and the plants did not receive any water so they fried. There goes a pound out the door, I am wondering if we could try and do the BubbleBags for hash with them. Oh well enough of my belly aching.
So Irish what is the coverage you are getting?

at 12" on both lights i cant cover all 3 of my girls with the 126w but close.

the 180w cover all 3 plants well.

not too sure on the real foot print in inches, but the 180w seem to have more footprint. since it uses wider angle leds

not to sure on the pentration untill i get some heavy flowers but i will keep you posted.
