Irish Boy's 2011 Spectra Led Grow (Revenge Of Casey Jones)

hey guy's and gals by now most of you know me, but if not i am Irish Boy

i am a Medical Card Holder, with a prescription from a doctor to grow cannabis for my Medical Conditions.

for the last 3 grows ive been using Welcome to Grow LED Hydro - LED Grow Lights - Hydroponics - Plant Lighting lights. On both of those grow's they have treated really good. (check my sig to see my other led journals.)

well guys and gals i am back at it again! This time i have some new grow toys. heres a little info about this new grow.

STRAIN: Casey Jones

LIGHTS: Two 500w lights from Welcome to Grow LED Hydro - LED Grow Lights - Hydroponics - Plant Lighting

MEDIUM: Roots Organic Soil

POT SIZE: 5gal Lowes buckets

# OF PLANTS: 6

FANS: S&P 6" Vent fans

Nutrients: As i see fit? Dyna-Gro and Organics mixed.

if someone is looking for one of these lights, i made a deal with the owner for my thread supporters to get a discount, just tell him you follow Irish boys threads and heard about a discount offer.

I grew some Casey Jones on a past grow and they ended up dieing on me and had to cut them 5 weeks into bloom, so this the (Revenge Of Casey Jones).

i started these clones off under the 1st gen 2011 GLH spectra 240w lights and will keep them under these lights until their big enough to throw them under this insanely bright (2011) Spectra 500w light witch i have two of them.lol. this thing is a beast!!

heres is some pics of my baby girls i raised.

Heres the New 2011 Spectra 500w.. they are insanely bright, i couldn't even come close to looking into them, i had to walk backwards to turn it off. the in crazy crazy bright, my friend almost fell to the ground because it caught him off guard. when its hanging in the room its not so bad as long as ur above the light but for these pics it was insane bright!! please please wear sunglasses with these lights.

heres some side x side pics next to my old 360w light. the 500w is on the left and the 360w is on the right. the pics dont even do it justice. my 4x4 tray is lite up crazy now. this is going to be very nice.

this is the exact model i'm looking at for my next setup, just followed your last grow on thcF

just started flower week 7 for my first grow, 400hps is ehh, i want moar watts

ultimately i want 3 of these and 2 1000's in xxxl's with dual arcs, i have a while to save

the sheer concept of not really paying for bud outside of utilities and startup costs is amazing to me and my bank account

Amen to that. she still comes on as different names trying to bash me but always get put into his/her place by other growers. i have too much proof to back up my stuff.

anyone use Dyna-gro nutes?

subscribed much love and respect to you Irish love your grows man

what up bro!

welcome pull up a chair and hit this shit!

VERY interested in seeing the progress of this thread. While I'm already here, may I ask. Friends of mine plan on growing out as many clones as they can, but will be using 3, 400W HPS lights. Would using an equal wattage of these LED's (probably several smaller ones?) give us more clones/faster veg growth?

not sure about faster but more compact and less stretchier and closer nodes and more nodes then HPS. CFL's will be better then HPS. leds are more of a all around light for veg and flower in one unit. if its just for clones i would go with CFL's their cheaper.

pull up a chair brother and lets see how this one turns out? thanks for joining

heres a update on the little girls, their showing their 80% sativa and growing fast. Seems these girls want more food then whats in the soil, feed them last night with some silica and dyna-gro. not sure if these girls are making them eat more, but new growth is starting to get a little yellow? most people say not to seed for a few weeks with the roots soil and this is only my 2nd watering.lol

That's some impressive growth rate hopefully it will show in the yields!

Hey everyone.. I had some thoughts i wanted to share with you guys..

I see that a lot of people are pretty much stuck on wattage versus price. This is ok but not accurate when it comes to deciding on what to by and how much to spend.

I use 12 wavelengths, I have trade marked True Spectrum™ so that I can prove and back up that my panels actually use true 12 wavelengths.

Now with that said, using different colored chips costs more, especially when using 12 different nanometers. That has to be taken into account when figuring costs.

I could easily make a panel that draws 500w and use 2, 3 or 4 wavelengths and sell them for much less but then I would be cheating you guys.

I also want to stress the fact that true 3w chips (45mL chipsets) that i use cost much more than 1w chips. I promise you guys im not trying to be mean are start trouble with other companies but you guys have to know that 99% of the companies out there especially the new ones are not using the true stated wavelengths and 3w chips. What most are using is 1w chips some .5w and saying they are 3w. How would you most of you guys ever know when you order what your really getting? This is exactly why and how they take advantage of people with false marketing and flat out lies. I have talked to many of the suppliers from china and I have been told that most companies dont use more than 4 wavelengths in there lights, they wont tell me which companies though.

I stand by what I say and I want the truth to be known, you can buy whatever you guys feel like but know the truth when your comparing my panels to others out there.

And as a side note not one single led company out there every came to me respectfully and say 'hey Mike you have a pretty nice panel but i think I have developed one that might give you a run for your money' and I would respectfully reply back with a suggestion for a side by side are just wish them good luck on there business venture. Instead I get attached constantly and its getting old. I do not respect anyone who comes at me like that. Thats why I will always defend myself and my company.

Some of you want to know the foot print of my new 2011 lights so here you go:

Spectra LED 100w 2x2

Spectra LED 180w 2.5x2.5

Spectra LED 290w 3x3

Spectra LED 500w 4x4

I know this might sound a little surprising to you guys but the panels even though they are rectangular, they put a circular core foot print, at least this is what i have noticed when shining the light on a flat white surface. So I guess you can take the figures above an apply them as a diameter.

Heres some info the owner of GLH posted on one of my journals and thought maybe some of you would like to see this? hope this could be some help on some of your questions?

have you heard anything about the 357 magnum led light? i wanted to order one but wanted more feedback on it. What lights and strains yielded the most for you?
