For those of you who dont know me my name is Irish Boy. i am a Medical Card Holder, with a prescription from a doctor to grow cannabis for my Medical Conditions.

for about the last year i have been growing and testing out different led grow lights, to find the best of the best and see if led are even worth replacing the HID lights we use. i was given several leds to test and show the forum members how the work. Ive used a pro source 90w ufo, and free 180w ufo, a free HGL 126w. well this time a company called http://www.growledhydro.com/ sent me a free 600w led light to post a grow journal and show you how their light grows. i have yet to find a led light to replace my HPS. but i figured ill give it one more try and do it big with a 600w led light. my goal is to see if this 600w led light can match 600w hps watt for watt? This light is different from any other light ive used. its a 600w 11 wavelength LED grow panel that uses 3 watt/3 chip High Power LED's at 90 degree viewing angle. all the others ive used were 1w leds in the past.

i am going to grow 4 plants on this test, all in 5gal pots with Sun Shine#4 soil.
all 4 girls will be LST and veged with 24/0 light and allowed to grow up to 20-24" before i hit 12/12 to flower.

the clone i will be using are 2 XJ-13= Jack Herre x G13 (on the left) and 2 Hindu Skunks (on the right)
today is their first day in their new home. they were feed with some B1 and very little nutes. the light is 30" above the top of the plants, i will move it close every few days to make sure i don't put too much stress on them.

EVERYONE PLEASE LETS KEEP THIS JOURNAL CLEAN OF TRASH TALK ABOUT THESE LEDS OR THIS COMPANY!! Lets give these lights a fair test and hold off on the Bash or trash talked at least until this grow is done, so we can see the results before we judge these lights.

Hope you guys enjoy this grow. kick back and put one in the air because were in for another long haul

Hey Irish, I been reading through all your LED grow journals and I have to give appriciation to the dedication and work you put into giving it your unbiased, factual opinions. I'll be tuned in from my iPhone. I'm actually in the process of deciding on lighting for my first grow, I'm between cfl and led as I'm only trying to grow 1-3 plants using the scrog method in a closet that's 4x4x6, since money is scarce about now I'm probably going to go with cfls just to get me started but I am debating saving the money to invest in a led lighting system, I'm not trying to thread Jack or anything. And I have read all the other journals/postings on it on this site and am wondering if you wouldn't mind putting your two cents forward. Anyhow thanks for the grows man! Your hard work is benefiting so many people right now, be proud and stay up

it all depends on you setup. i much rather run hps then leds as of right now. but if you not able to run the noise vent fans and have heat issues then leds will do you fine. just dont believe the company's claims their BS. CFL are cool for veg, but i think if you chose the right led light the leds would be better for flowering. SCROG is a good way to grow with leds. its all up to u on the funds you have and the setup you have. also to cover your area you will need a few leds so cfl would be allot cheaper.

Hmm, I'm still kinda of up in the air about what i'm going to do. I think whats going to happen is I'm going to end up going with a 200watt HID probably MH and use a 4 tube florescent setup that my friend used individually for a previous grow. I don't know what to do about ventalation though, i'm guessing an oscillating fan with the door open would do the trick? Man and we've had the crappiest indoors around right now, its harsh, unmanicured and definetly not dried well at all. I can't wait to get some girls going haha.

Thanks for the advice man, blaze up
 
Happy to see that the thread is up and running :)
Also checking out Botanist's thread "over there"

Cant wait to see the results of this mighty 600Watter, I settled for a 250W hps btw Irish and might add 2*125W CFL dual spectrums later on.

Happy Growing all!
And take good care of your girls Irish ;)

i think a 250w hps would do cool for you with some CFL's. if you dont have heat issues and house fan with the door open should be fine. just want to have fresh co2 always in ur room.
