    LED veg, HPS flower

    Colder months will be here soon where I live so I typically switch to 600W HPS for the heat benefit with my crop. However, its still pretty warm here and I'd also like to get the energy savings from my A51 XGS190. Has anyone vegged under LED & switch to HPS for flower? How did it work? Any...

    "Area 51 LED" Information and discussion

    When will he stick with one model and do continuous manufacturing runs? I have the XGS and already want to add, but I'm worried the next model will just be replaced with a completely different series w/ different colors, wattage, etc.

    Its not really true side lighting- I use 2 reflectors on each side of the panel pointed at a roughly 60-75° down-angle starting in mid-flower. I want to mimic the autumn sun light as much as possible. Also, I was thinking more the PAR30 since its warm white light. The PAR38 is cool white.

    I like to supplement my XGS190 with some warm light leds off the shelf, but I'm tired of dealing with the stripped off bulb covers of the Crees from Home Depot. Can anyone recommend any soft white spotlight LEDs for supplemental side coverage?

    "Area 51 LED" Information and discussion

    I like to supplement my XGS190 with some off the shelf warm LEDs during flower. How are Crees' spotlights that are sold at Home Depot? I used to use the old Cree bulbs stripped of their covers, but rather just grab a couple of spotlights for ease of use.

    A51 XGS190 supplement

    Not having a 150, I can't really say, but some red spectrum wouldn't have hurt.

    A51 XGS190 supplement

    Trying to work out next grow in my head and I think I need more red for bud density. Good smoke off the first XGS grow, but it was definitely a little airy. Has anyone tried adding a couple of the shelf Cree 2700k? I'm thinking maybe one bulb in rear and one on each side will add a decent...

    What's better, two Hans (the newer design) or one Area51 160? It will be a 24x36 grow area (48" height).

    What's the maximum grow area for a Hans panel? 24x24?

    Flowering with Cree bulbs

    Im curious about those but have lots of questions. Are you removing the lens or leaving it on? How do you position those in orientation to the plants?

    Flowering with Cree bulbs

    Both harvested this morning. The AutoAK far surpassed the Auto blueberry which kind of surprised me as the berry started flowering much sooner, but I soon found out why when I examined the root structure. The AK just put out a solid root mat in the 3 gallon container- all this from a seed that...

    Flowering with Cree bulbs

    8 days later and I harvested some of the auto blueberry last night w/ the balance likely tomorrow. If I had to guess, I'll say about 3/4Z from that one auto. The AutoAK (in the background) is still stretching and putting on weight. I gotta say- she really seemed to lag, but is definitely...

    Flowering with Cree bulbs

    The Autoberries (purplish cola/orange hairs) in the forefront are just adding bulk at this point. I'm getting some (some) amber colored pollen so I don't think she's far off. Some leaves are yellowing towards the base too. The AutoAKs in the background are still stretching while getting some...
