2014 Kessil Club

OK - here it is as promised. The Kessil Club.

A place where we crazy LED growers can share our thoughts on the Kessil lights.





Cheers and Welcome,

Sounding off here, I am an avid Kessil grower. My first grows were with CFL only, and I quickly realized I needed to reduce heat in my envirornment. I started with a single H350 suspended over my bubblicious plant, and cfl's as side light. I ended up with some plump flowers as a result. For my next grow, I added a second H350, and ditched the cfl's! I got an even bigger yield with larger colas! I am now adding H150 boosters to my setup, in prder to add more red and blue side light.

Welcome! Please feel free to post some pics!

I did the same thing! The heat from the CFLs and the air pump made my res get too hot and I ended up with root rot!

Still got a few flowers:

My first attempt was hydro. It was miserable, all sprouts died. I sold off the hydro gear and went with soil. Much more forgiving. I dont have any MJ going now as we are currently moving. I do plan to set up a couple autos soon. In te meantime, I have some veggies thriving under 2 H350's....3 tomatoes, oregano, sage, cayenne pepper, and oregano.

Post pics! I was going to use the H350 Magenta to grow some tomatoes but I decided to give the system more power and spectrum.

Now I have all of these available:

1 - H350 Magenta
1 - H350 Deep Purple
4 - H150 Purples
2 - H150 Reds



The number designates "H" for horticulture and "350" and "150" designate the equivalency to watts in traditional grow lights.

I have them hanging from the Kessil Spectral Spinner:







Here are the girls vegging:




Here is what I wear to keep from going blind from the intensity:




They work great!

This is what was growing in there:



JOG = TGA Jesus OG (3rd gen clone from original seed)

SOG = RareDankness Scott's OG (5th gen clone from original seed)

LA Con = LA Confidential (TWS cut)

Blue Dream = Blue Dream (Mithrandir cut)

Wild Child = a wild seedling I found in last years grow area - looks very kushy

Walmart LEDs make good gnat traps:

I had a rocky start:

Here are some things Im growing with 1 Kessil H350
Oregano, Sage (from seeds Kessil H350P)
3 Tomato (from tiny clones Kessil H350P)
Rosemary, Cayenne Pepper (from seed H350P)

All 7 of these plants are thriving under 1 H350 Deep Purple,
I will be adding my H350 Magenta this week to double up my light and start blooming my tomatoes.

I am updating the room and mounting some goosenecks for the veg cabinet. I need to start growing the Brianberry Cough for MzJill.

I will have updates then.

The clones are still happy outside

Yes I am thinking of hanging the 350's magenta and purple) over tops suspended, while aiming 150's(red and blue) mounted on goosenecks at lower foilage. What do you think?

Yes I will try the same thing. Maybe put the plant on a spinner?

Added a reflective sheet to the floor of the cabinet and tested some lighting:

Deep Purple:

Here is the cabinet with the flash on:

I like the reflection on that cabinet. Looking good. Hey why do you think Kessil doesnt make a RED H350 and a BLUE H350? Or am I the only one that thinks that would be cool? It seems like they are overdo on introducing either a more powerful light than the H350 or expanding the H350 line to include all four color spectrums?

They are working on a 1K panel with selectable spectrum. The H150s are for supplemental and the H350s are for veg and flower.

I added a little more reflective area to the cabinet:

Here is another LED disco ball pic:

I have some accent light LED strips I got at OSH. I think I will put them in the nursery cab to see what they do. Maybe i could attach them to the cloner dome. I did a similar thing with CFLs back when I grew the topped section of the Malawi:
