Congratulations with your purchase. How much did you have to pay?

Btw.. "440-450nm reddish blue" is blue, not in any way "reddish".

in total i paid around 380 (including shipping) and 440-450, yes is 'not reddish' but closer to purple which if you remember elementary school is made up of red and blue.

Wow, Apollo jornal, are you going to grow only 2 plants under this powerful lamp?
Lots of growers post Apolo jornals at this site, but very few of them keep posting until the end, I look forward to seeing the final results.

^^^^^ Thats either because the light breaks or most likely all those half journals were by noobs who didn't know how to grow in the first place. Blamed their results on the light. My Apollo lasted probably around a 15 months before taking a shit. 2 clusters went out. Im sure its an easy fix. I Just haven't dealt with it. I don't really care. I plan on modifying it into a diy with better led's eventually.... If I had gotten the aquarium model. It probably would have lasted longer. They drive the leds too much on the grow panels.

Orion looks good despite droopy leaves. you are already off to a better start than most.

Trueg did a full grow / thread with all white leds on Apollo 8 aq model with good results. That one got finished.

The final results are usually their led lamps broke after some monthes .They like that lamp very much at first , but after a long time , the lights clusters failed . They felt disappointed, because that's not what they expect .

You are lucky . After 15 monthes , two clusters went out . At least ,it helps grow for 15 monthes . If someone else unlucky , several monthes only failed

well the grow is going good been flowering for about a week and they're looking good slight N toxicity. but i had some bad luck and one of the support bars holding up my light broke and my LSD got kind mangled when it fell, she looks ok kinda wonky but hopefully she's ok i need to tend to the garden. ill post pics in a few.

this is the LSD that the light fell on some of the branches were a bit damaged but over all it looks ok. you can see some of the leaves got burned from the lights. not to bad, don't know if you can tell from the photo but there is some egle claw going on not sure if i should flush or not.

No don't flush. Adding more water won't help. How close do you have that panel? If you're vegging with that panel you should be around 20 to 24 inches, especially with an indica heavy strain like LSD and all that blue. Looks a bit like stress to me and I guess it should with a light falling on it and all but if you back that panel up a bit you'll get better growth I bet. Also what's your temps at the top of the plant and are you PHing your water? Curled tips say bad PH to me and ruffled edges are usually heat but could be poor RH conditions like PSU pointed out earlier. Good Luck O21.

this is the blue og growth is still a bit slow but its starting to do much better.
thanks franjan I've been using distilled water or tap water the temps range from mid 70's to the mid 80's mostly rh has been around 40% to 50% if not lower i live in avery dry area but i try to mist once a day. i did raise the light about ten inches so we'll see how that goes.

Hi Orion

Just bought two sets of Apollo 10´s and will start to try em out tomorrow. How did your crop go? By the looks of it, looks like mostly red spectra (aka flower time) not the blue ones for veg. But I can have totally wrong on this.

Ill set em up for in my flower room and use std lamp for veg.

I'm board so i decided to take and post some photos, its about 1.5 weeks into flower and so far my plants are doing well the LSD is bouncing back nicely and isn't showing to much negative signs of the light dropping on it the Blue OG is coming along nicely and is staying nice and bushy. Heres the Blue OG

so far I've been happy with the light it seems to be out preforming and inducing much less stretching than growing with CFLs its still a bit early but I have high hopes.
