    I received a AdvancedLED XML 650. The good folks at Advanced LED have been very nice and are there to answer any questions. You get to talk to a live person when you call and that's a big deal in this day and age.
     
    My friend pokesmot247 Has two of these bad boys going over his garden and has done an un-boxing video.
     
    See his thread here.

    I have a 12 site flo and grow system that will be here Wednesday.
     
    The light itself looks like it would be at home in a space craft growing food for astronauts.
    It has a good vibe, its quiet and I like the look of the light it cast.

    Here are the OOKUSH seedlings in rockwool, looks like we have extra all 17 seeds popped on me. Its a good fealing when you get 100% germination but this is not my first rodeo. :D

    The hydro system is ebb and flo where as I normally have simple DWC.

    I dont anticipate any troubles at all, I may need to set up netting to hold the heavy buds up in a couple months. These plants will be very spoiled. Anyone who follows my grows knows I dont do much but feed,water and pull the light UP as needed! My grows tend to be completely on auto-pilot.
     
    Now with the Titan controls to do the feeding and watering it will be a walk in the park, A very smelly park! :D
     
    pokesmot247 and I will be in communication back and forth a lot.
    Sort of a competition If you will.. We are both going to do our best with the lights and the plants.
    Its fun to think we both have new lights at the same time. Starting our journals today. :D
     
    More to come...........
     

     
  2. Hell yeah, subbed up! Woot! Awesome!
     
  3. Woo snoopy dog is back! I love the LED vs HPS battle out side by side. Give him hell Snoop, and pokesmot, you keep doing what you do brother. You two are some of the best and most helpful growers on GC,
     
  4. Awesome snoop I'm subbed :)
     
  5. Where's the yoda
     
  6. Thanks everyone, Pokesmot247 and I will be growing some fine herbs.
     
    Both of us have been HID growers for the most part. I am starting to warm up to them more and more.
     
    In the summer time I turn off all HID and stop growing indoors but I think that will change with LED.
     
    Indoor summer plants tend to get heat stress and are just not happy unless they have lots of cool air.
     
    Im in the pacific northwest and have a great outdoor growing season.
    Now if I lived down south heat would be even more of an issue. LED is what you want if you are trying to grow in a blazing hot part of the country.
     
    This grow will be lots of fun for Pokesmot247 and I to simultaneously grow under new LED lights. We can see and compare how we need to run these lights for optimum growth.
     
    Im very happy tonight, I need to go blow glass tonight so will be back soon.
     
  7. Sick! Looking forward to it, Snoop. Those lights look absolutely amazing. I wish they weren't so darn expensive
     
  8. Lol, brother Im gonna get you a helmet for christmas, just for the garden haha
     
    Need to get one for myself, bump my head so much on those HIDs  no doubt I knocked a few screws lose XD
     
  9. Hey snoop, subbed in for this :)


    Chef.

    Glad you are all here, its going to be a fun grow, I realy try and pump out a super big harvest around June in order to have plenty for the summer.
     
    Glad all of you are here. Poke and I are all wound up happy. Its Christmas all over again. :D
     
    I want to run a bit longer in veg than normal to get a bigger plant. Doing hydro is fun at harvest time. I cut off lower branches on them that contain so much bud. Its like layers of donkey dicks. You keep chopping away in awe!
     
  11. haha layers of donkey dicks I read that out loud and my gf looked at my like wtf are you doing on ur phone????
     
  12. Subbed in! I can relate to that summertime heat.
     
  13. summertime heat in the eastbay is nice always got a little breeze :)
     
  14. Like schoolin in the summertime. In.

  15. Subbed! Cant wait to see you guys dule it off with thoes lights!
     
  16.  
    We both have been talking with each-other  and the good folks at Advanced LED for weeks now.
     
    We planned it like this.  Us Grass farmers try to stay a few steps ahead at all times. I try to have a harvest date set when I plant seeds or cut clones.
     
  17. what a treat this is!!! these coming few months are going to be awesome. I am pulling up a chair shutting my mouth; I plan on being a good school boy :) 
     
  18. Gonna be a good ride - curious to see what this light can do with hydro.
     
  19. You can all thank this man above, Brada Haole, for bringing you these two grow journals. This man moved mountains to get snoop and i on board and if it wasnt for him and a few people at advanced :poke: nudging us, this wouldnt be possible, but this man on his own, dropped mine and snoops names and journals to the right people and got us on the radar.

    Thank you Brada, We apprecaite all your effort brother! :)
