We do grow in HS

Dan..do ya need em higher off the plants for coverage? You said as long as their 12in or higher? What's the optimum height above the plants for,say,the led equivalent of a 1000w hid?

I keep my 600s about 3ft from the canopy

Click to expand...

they recommend 20inches for.the.one I have...theyre very powerful n they say theyll.bleach the plant if too close...mines abt 18inches atm

Hmmm,even WHITER weed..lol
It would be supplemental in my scenario..id hang it higher for added light in the middle where my footprint was a little 'lite'(pardon the pun,I had to)

Duck,thanks for this thread..by now id be harrased by 20 trolls for asking simple questions..it'd be like dora the explorer with 20 grumpy ol trolls who live under the bridge.lol

Vega,thanks for the input..do you think leds could be effecient in say,my 10x10 room with about 50 ladies?(yes I cram them in there)

id.convert to all led if I.was u but thats just me...the light I have puts out 11diff spectrums of lite...core.coverage is 2 x 2...I have the DS100...that 800 covers like 5 x 5...im completely pleased w the.performance of the lite and the plants reaction...theyve stacked really.well and grown like crazy...they love it...ive nvr used hid so I cant say.for.sure but imo w the spectrums.the advanced leds put out along w them being so powerful theyre better than hid...I hope.that comment doesnt bring the haters out...ha

start lookin at how.much wattage.they draw and the temps and the no bulb replacememt...and they start.to look bttr n bttr

Blackwater?
I do not have any exp with HPS or MH my preferred height is 16 or so inches IDK about the spread with a bigger one but I'd say start it off at 18" above canopy and try moving it +/- 2inches and see what the plants think. LEDs tend to bleach leaves and otherwise stress plants at less than 12(ish) inches above canopy.

Sorry dan,confused you with another dan(no offense meant)...I guess ill replace one light and see what happens...gonna be after xmas..gotta put up xmas lights first!!

Also..can't post my new pics guys!?! Don't know why..ill keep trying..wanna ahow off my fruity chronic juice and others...boo my internet!!

If you keep having problems email them to me and I'll post em for you Rory. Though it might not be till tomorrow because I'm tired. We dosed in the late afternoon so we were up pretty late for us.

Thanks duck..between the wife and the connection..my internet is usually restricted to my forrest gump phone..lol

I'm slower than both..after the a.c. install yesterday,I slept all morn and my back is fuuuuuucked....that ac weighed a ton!

Yeahwell they don't rate the things in tons for nothing!
My internet is still being screwy. I'm trying to figure out how to ul from my phone. I fucking hate not being able to do what isaid I'd do. Murphy can go fuck himself with his law...
