I hear about pros getting 2 and a half pounds out of a 4x4 area with a 1000 hps so I am wondering if 3-4 lbs could be achieved with led? Or 6-8 in a 4x8 area with 1280 led watts? Sent from my LGL322DL using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Yeah i can get that goal with 1000 watts easily hps . Led no i could not get it . I lost yield. I used qb led. Not the new bar led.
Though I hate to hear this about led it also makes me super happy about ups. I can put a 4x8 in my room but all I have is a 1000 so I'm going to get a 4x4. I'm also thinking a few months down the road getting a 4x8 and another 1k but putting it inside an outside room that's 8x12 with 8 feet ceiling and installing a big air conditioning unit trying for 4 or 5 lbs hps but in my current bedroom im aiming for 2 or a little above. I'm going crazy because I still have to get a few things but my crop should start by June. I'm still not sure on glookies ayuhuaska purple again or purple punch 4 plants.

If I had a way of keeping the light from lighting the entire room without a tent until I get 1 I will go ahead and start my plants at 600 watts until the tent and fan is here but im just going to have to wait Sent from my LGL322DL using Grasscity Forum mobile app
just turn the whole room into a grow room and skip the tent if that is a possibilty then you can get 4lbs easily
Hey if you h ave craigs list facebook market place. Here hps lights are about free. Ballasts 10 bucks reflector 10 bucks bulbs 5 bucks. I suggest three 600 watt lights instead of the two 1000s in a 4/8 Two 1000 will work but there will be more heat then three 600s. I know that sounds stupid its 1200 watts not 1000 so 200 more watts of power. Those 1000 bulbs are ovens . 600 no so much for some reason . Vented hoods get 8 inch and one fan keep it all cool. Suck the air from the tent blow through the lights and out the tent .
If the old HPS lights are so good people would still be using them, they are a thing of the passed. LEDs are what growers are using now even in commercial grow houses. The Fohse A3i LEDs for commercial growers penetrate deeper than high pressure sodium bulbs. I know in my 5x5 tent with 1300 watts from wall will give me as much as I want if I veg it coner to corner. And don't even have to have my lights turned up to full power not even half the power. I use that much just to get a even par in the tent every where. I run 800 par for best results could easily run 1700 but would be a waste and have heat stressed leaves. I keep my plants under 2 1/2 feet tall with LST and light hits the plant all the way down. And that's from the floor to top of plant
I like watching the new cannabis show Jim Belushi and in his new building for finishing his flowers just had all new fohse LEDs installed. At some point I might pull the trigger on the Fohse A3i 1500 watts from wall strongest led made to date for growing. They have a few different models for commercial growing.
I would not judge hps to harsh vs quatom board led. Hps wins the yield battle. Those bar leds cost to much right now i dont know of any commercial growers using them yet. Im sure there are many . No here in MI. We can get a discount on electric . And who would buy this light ? https://seresag.com/products/fohse-...NO_aHF5ibXMIfjYOjA4FNRKL_nXUsGLBoCGygQAvD_BwE 2000 ! nope note me where there are very good brands for 500 to 700
LEDs are going to keep getting better and prices will start to come down on some of the high dollar ones, but if you are running a big commercial house grow what's a half million on top quality LEDs that will last for years and produce high quality buds.
if you use the 3500k rspec like hlg uses, I think you will yield more than with an hps. I you used 1000w real watts of them more like kilos.
I definitely believe you. I definitely think about good led but im on a budget and rarely do this but im wanting to get a good led in the future at least try it. Sent from my LGL322DL using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Bro get the Volt FL 1 it's 450 bucks right now. It's on sale. It was 600 before the sale. Last year when it came out. It was 1100 bucks man. But they did a shitty job promoting the light. So nobody really knows about it. So they been dropping the price over the last year or so. The lights better then alot of the 1000+ dollar LED lights. I got one, and it's better then my Optic Slim 600 H Gen 2. Which was like 1600 when it came out in 2020 lol. The FL1 pulls 751 watts from the wall. And can easily do a 5x5 Area. It's sold as a 720 watt light. But it actually does more power then advertised. You've seen what my plants look like man. If you got 550 to spare that's total cost. Shipping and all brother. I'd definitely go for it man. I may honestly get me another one. I'm liking mine so much. Look up MIGRO on YouTube man. He's the LED Grow Light Tester Guy lol. He does a review on the light. And says it's very good for the price point.
I've been watching as well the past couple seasons but man its dumb as shit. Its low brow humor, not really my thing but to each their own. I think they missed an opportunity to bring credibility to cannabis and elevate the industry. Instead we're watching Belushi promote radiation machines to 'clean contaminated bud' -
I've only seen like 2-3 episode so far lol. It did seem lower budget. But I take your opinion on it. Cause I haven't seen nearly as much as you lol. I figured it would've been better than that.
