Hey everyone, I found a solution to the heat issue that was plaguing me. I placed a box fan in the back for a higher air intake. Since the grow tent is decently close to the wall, it wasn't drawing in enough air through passive induction alone. I needed a fan to push more air into the tent...

Thank you for the advice on the BS vs. the PG. Good to know the PG performed well. I would want to Veg and Flower under the same panel. The way my CFL's are currently setup wouldn't allow for both to be used simultaneously. Ideally, I would like to optimize the space for my actual light...

I am ready to move from CFL to LED. During flowering I run 10, 42 Watt CFL'S, that equals 420 Watts, (the irony is not lost on me I assure you :)) that is currently for 2 plants. I would like to be able to grow 3, maybe 4 but not necessarily. I would be happy with 3. How much LED power...

Thant does sounds really interesting. Unfortunately I am still growing my first pair of girls. I haven't even been through my first grow so I want to try and keep it as simple as possible. I just know myself to well and will sit and endless tinker with that knob until the rapture comes. I am...

O wow, just looked that up. Nice catch, thanks! I don't think the 260 could perform with only that small amount of increase. Hmm, I wonder if that small increase is actually a significant amount and it's a testament to the efficiency of LED energy conversion??? LED's big claim is decreased...

That would be a substantial upgrade, nice.

Hey greenhorn, that's great I am growing Nirvana's Aurora right now. What medium are you growing in? Thanks!

Would it be worth the extra $100 for the Pro Grow 260? I currently am running 336 watts of CFL's, I know that the LED would more than likely out preform them due solely on the precise spectrum usage and penetration capabilities, I just don't want to over buy. I will be growing in a small tent...

Fantastic, thanks for the advice!

Anyone have any personal experience with this panel? http://hydroponicshut.com/pro-grow-180-watt-led-grow-light-hydroponics-hut.html It may be why I'm looking for, would like to have some growers input though before I make any decisions. Thanks!

That is what I have heard. I was following a great grow and a Blackstar 500 lost an entire row midgrow, its was only the second grow for it as well. https://www.rollitup.org/led-other-lighting/528170-thatsmessedups-blackstar-500-led-lst.html

Hello all, Right now I am growing with CFL and think I am having pretty good results. I would however like to switch over to LED. Having to arrange the CFL's so close is just not that convenient. I am a pretty busy/lazy person so I don't want to have to worry about moving lights all the time...

Worried yes, but I don't think I can get to much more ventilation. I'm using a 400 CFM inline fan venting outdoors through the attic. I'm starting too consider trying an LED for the next grow because right now 4 23 watt CFLS are on the border of being to hot. I don't even want to think about my...

Just got home to check temps. Sitting at 88 F, both of the girls are looking healthy enough. The new growth on the left plant that has been yellowing all seems to look healthy. Thank you all for the help, and advice.

Thanks for the advise all, I hope I'm just being a protective parent right now and my girls stay healthy. The one on the left has continued to yellow a bit, I hope it's not from overwatering. I transplanted them out of solo cups into 3 gallon smart pots the day before yesterday, so I am assuming...
