Will a 90w LED UFO..?

  1. be able to support 8 plants in a closet?
     
  2. definitely not. Might be enough for a couple days but will need about 100w per plant eventually because if you leave them with 90w they wont grow. For 8 plants maybe 2 of those LED's + 400w HID(minimum) or lots of cfls.

    1 plant...90 watt ufo triband:wave:more light the better
     
  4. Nope. A 90W UFO produces nowhere near the results of a 400W HPS as they claim. I've heard that some 300W LED units produce results like a 400W, which makes a lot more sense.

    its a 90wat quadband. and you dont need 100wats per plant with LED cuss the whole system its self is only 90wats and i know they can support more then one plant at once.

    and its the industrial version which is unlike most ppl and it says it is equivalent to a 600w hps
     
  6. I've grown with the 90W UFO. You can grow 1 plant by itself. They tend to work very well in veg... they keep the plants real short and they branch out nice. I don't recommend them for flowering alone... use some 2700K CFLs to suppliment and your buds will be denser.
     
  7. are you askin' us or tellin' us....you throw your 8 plants under that baby and we'll see how industrial it is;)guess i musta bought the at home 90 watt triband ufo???how much more enegry is in an industrial watt???
     
  8. I am using a 126w Hydro Grow and it is just enough for 2 plants. I am also using 2 CFL's so I would have to say no way Jose.
     
  9. im not saying eight but it can do better then one;)
    and im juss saying their is a difference between industrial and normal version, hence why its also a quad band and not a only a triband. and yes the output is larger and lights last up to 10years instead of 7 or watever it is.

    thanks tho:smoking:
     
  10. Yeah like 2. Still not enough for 2 plants imo but you could get by. Also they are worthless in flowering unless you have something to supplement them. I wouldnt ever waste my money personlly but do what you want. And I call BS on them being equivalent to a 600w hps.

    Now personally I go for quality and I only use 4 plants under 1000W hps and 1 plant under my 400w with great success.
     
  11. led haters.......lol j/k

    Definitely not.
    [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CtROw3uiVg"]UFO grow[/ame]
    this is just one of the many comparison videos you can find on youtube.
    I recommend 2 UFO's for every 3 plants minimum, based alone off of what I've seen and read.
     
  13. are u talking from experience that the ufo wont do two plants?
     
  14. research has shown the the 1 watt led bulbs just dont kick out enough light to really grow weed. have a 90 watt triband ufo with 1 watt bulbs and used it the entire growth of 1 plant...vegged well....flower growth was stunted...growth was slow..plant was ugly...buds were dank...yeilded about 1.5zip....my normal yeild is 2.5 to 3 zip usin' cfl for veg..t-5ho...and 400hps for flower...i have seen these results....i have run these results...somebody please prove me wrong and show me a 1 ufo grow of 4 plants or better;)

    here was my plant..nirvana ak-48

  15. was that ak48 grow with just the 1 ufo then? thanks
     
  16. there ya go..:smoke:good stuff bro
     




  17. VERY INTERESTING DEBATE BUT IF I CAN BUD N :smoke:LOL YOU SAID YOU AVERAGE 2.5 WITH A 400 WATT HPS AND THE 90 WATT GAVE YOU 1.5 RIGHT? SO 2 90 WATTERS SHOULD GIVE YOU DOUBLE 1.5 WHICH IS 3.0 RIGHT? SO WITH 180 WATTS OF LED YOU ARE NOW GETTING .5 MORE BUD THAN WITH A 400HPS OR A TIE
    THIS PROVES THAT ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT GREAT WITH JUST 1, IF YOU DOUBLE UP YOU WILL STILL CONSUME 220WATTS LESS ELECTRICITY AND YOUR YIELD WOULD BE COMPARABLE TO 400HPS NO? NOT TO MENTION THAT MORE OF THAT ENERGY IS BEING USED FOR THE PLANT BECAUSE THE LIGHT IN A HPS DOESNT RECIEVE 100% OF THAT WATTAGE.
    NOW THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT HID LIGHTS ARE TRASH BY NO MEANS, BUT THERE CAN BE NO ARGUMENT THAT LEDS ARE THE FUTURE, AS WE START TO REALIZE THAT WE NEED TO PROTECT AND SAVE OUR EARTH WE SHOULD ALL BE MOVING IN A MORE GREEN DIRECTION AND THESE LIGHTS REPRESENT THAT MOVEMENT, LESS HEAT, LESS WATTAGE, AND LESS WASTE

    OH AND THATS A GREAT SPECIMEN BRO, CONGRATZ U SIR HAVE SKILLZ
     
  18. ...how much ya gonna spend on these two ufos..also add in energy for the extra 4 cooling fans in ufos against waist....$350.00 easy..plus i dont think i mentioned that it was 3 weeks extra flower for trichs to color up..like your train of thought though...and if my facts were 100% accurate..just estimates....but i cant convey the feelin' of spinnin' my wheels in late flower..my scrog was done 23 days earlier..400hps/mh switchable about $200 with ship..solves grow problems..not heat or space issues..theres no 1 way ta grow..you gotta adapt your area the best you can to provide an enviroment that weed thrives in..what works for me might not for you because of a hundred factors...water..medium...containers..light...nutes..temps..strains..etc...

    good stuff though:smoke: i used to be young and idealistic myself...thinkin' people would change.........we dont..we get dumber...we get bigger...we want it now..we dont care about your needs....we want respect without earning it..we want others to fight our wars for us.......we dont want that crappy job..we do want unemployment..i call it the cult of self.....wait till drinkin' water runs out in about 30 years;)then people might believe..wait till all the honeybee's are gone and crops triple in cost..wait till all the breeding sized fish in the sea become steril from the millions of gallons of birth control filled urine flushed every day ...hate ta be a realist..glad i've got spirituality and belief:smoke:peace deacon...if and when there is a concerted effort..im on board
     
  19. this was the same strain..3 weeks less grow time under 400hps 2 plants...yeilded a tad under a 1/2 lb cured

  20. WOW GREAT PIC IF I HAD A SPACE BIG ENOUGH TO HOUSE A 400HPS I WOULD SINCE I DONT I GOTTA 90 WATT LED FROM CRAIGSLIST IF YOU GET A CHANCE STOP BY GROW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. ALSO DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE SPACE I HAVE CAN BE COOLED ENOUGH TO RUN ONE OF THOSE? I WANT ONE, I MEAN RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES BUT COOLING IS A FACTOR. I WILL ADMIT IM KINDA NEW TO THE GROW SCENE BUT IVE DEFINITELY DONE MY HOMEWORK AND YOU SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO GROW A DECENT CROP SO YOUR INPUT AND ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THX 4 YOUR TIME
