Hey Jig, how did those LED lights work for you for veg?

I am looking at some LED lights this morning and was considering getting a Kessil or two. There's a guy on ebay selling four purple ones for $270 or I can get a couple that are any color I want for around $90 each. I found a couple of LED fixtures I like too and wanted to see what happens with the light SG is building. After talking it through with wifey it looks like I'll be either getting a t5 HO light or an LED. The t5 has independent ballasts and switches so you can run either two, four or all six bulbs so I can run it at a lower wattage if that's all that's needed without messing with bulbs. The LED lights are all a lower draw than the flouros so they're attractive too.

Is it for veg? I have one h350 deepblue in a 2ft x 3 ft cab for my males, and 1 h150 covering 30 in x 20 in for rooted clones. I have a h350 mag in the led flower cab with tbe 400 watt panel and i love them all

I am a dumb ass you said veg like the first sentence haha

My veg space is 2'x4' right now. I can change the shape and size a little if necessary but would prefer to keep it how it is.

I love your octo cabinet you're building. the shelf units you're building inside are top notch looking.

I gained 45 pounds when I quit smoking weed.... you could give that a try. ;)
I have been limiting myself to 1600 calories a day with my largest meals in the morning and lunch. I try to keep my dinners around 500 calories.

Veggies (any kind) are super filling and low low low calories. Fruit makes a good snack. Sweet and satisfying.

Smoking weed helps me not be bored. And make fruit much sweeter.

Boredom is usually my worst enemy when trying to eat right.

Two h350s would rock that. I got mine from ebay auctions used and am not having any problems. I think chuka uses a panel and he loves it too. I want to build\buy a 800ish watt unit for the flower cab and move what i have now around. I could drop the cfls then.

Chaka does have a small panel he uses for veg. It is pretty small and has a pretty small footprint but it works really well.

I have been running old Spectra 180 off and on for about 4 years now, in a small tent with one 180 I vegged up to 12 plants nicely, BUT size was not the same as a good 400 MH. I also tried flowering but gave up after a while and went to 600 HPS. MUCH< MUCH happier ... Maybe four years later things are different but not willing to give up quantity - quality for just possibly quality.

I think things are changing fast and HID will gradually be replaced by newer technology. My new lights are comparable to a 600, especially since the reduction of heat will help a lot of smaller growers who have a hard time dealing with that because of space or cost limitations. I would bet most small HID grows are compromised by heat related issues, both yield and quality. I love my 600s and grew with them for years. I was pretty hesitant to plunk down the coin for these newfangled things, I'm not much of a gambler, but they are pretty darned good. That's 2014 technology and, like I said, things are changing fast. Affordable 1K replacements are only a couple years out.

Okay, off soap box. Hiya, sixers! Good to see most of you are doing as well as can be expected...Nice to be a part of the community, even though I don't post as much as I used to. Visit my sig thread for pr0n.

It's a glorious day, I'm off to the links.

If i can get the octagon dialed in it will stay hid for a bit longer, but the led is going to be my personal smoke. I would have to build a vert led to change it anyway. I run the 500 watts of leds for the day shift and the 600 hps on night shift.

image.jpg Here's my breeding bucket! So my pheno hunt of the 6 plants I'm working on ended up with my favorite being #2. It went hermie unfortunately but because it was looking to be something amazing I decided to throw it's clone in a 5g bucket and surround it with all of my other current stuff. It's going outside and I'm banking on #2 going hermie and crossing with blue dream, pre 98, cherry pie, chemdog and #4.

That was for Dez we where talking about lights;)
There is one on ebay for $112. I'll check with my LHS before buying just to see what he can do for me. He's a really nice guy and usually hooks me up a bit. I know he does it for most people but I've seen a difference between me buying nutes there and my buddy buying the same nutes.
