Tags High Efficiency Lighting Garden

Mine, a friends brother got nl#5 from sensi and sfv from Cali connect and did his own breeding. Then be had a seedy batch and she kicked me down with seeds. Her brother laughed at me saying it will only produce hermies. I got 3 females. One sees died after a few days. The other I killed a month into veg after my cat dug it up and pissed on it while I was sleeping. Then my veg was in my bedroom.

pm scarhole. He was posting about 2 or 3 months ago in one of the induction threads about a seed company that has all the old school strains.

So I think this next week will be a good week for the IG's.


I try to be cool and grow something not everyone has, and dream was the king of the what everyone has category for a while. Diesel is in there too. But evertime I smoke dream I love it so it keeps calling me back.


IDK but they at least give an answer, that based on my research is pretty accurate. But I do wonder if that has been tested with there spectrum...meaning it could just be the hps saturation level...which now thinking about it is why it should be public I guess.

This is how I asked for it...

Where do you come up with that saturation level? Can you give me a link or source for that?

Let's be honest, most all led's have a better spectrum than any hps lamps, but there lack of light(umols) across the whole canopy not just the center is where they have fallen way short in the past(same problems with your plasma).

I did state which reflector I was referencing and considering you have your own reflectors those are what I was asking about. The whole system not the bulb.
The reason I said height is because I want to get ~1000umols at my canopy and that is about what my lights hang at. PPFD is most important because that is the light that is actually getting to my canopy not just being emitted in a spherical pattern.​

You already know their response.

Not really sure what/how my next run is happening. It will be a few weeks. But probably no 13/10. ESC treatment for sure though.

(4) AT660's. Really not sure if they are ready yet. But if you want led's in a full size garden and don't want to fall short of anything, they are the best unit imo.
Coverage is the biggest problem when in a full size garden...or accepting the coverage and buying enough units is one way to look at it too. But with the new AT it is a straight up 1 light for 1 light replacement of 1000w hps. And that is really key for me and bigger gardeners too.

You're becoming a master around these parts

Hi,

Killer results. Any results on G/W on this run?
Was wondering - will these lights work here in the EU? running 230-240v plugs?

I would love to buy 2 x AT200 and have 'em shipped to the lovely kingdom of Denmark - Apache might build killer LEDs, but that website ... ewww.

Thanks man. I am just trying to learn how to grow the best, I like to show what I learn along the way. Nice to bounce ideas around these parts.

I have been meaning to post those yield results...
The simple way
AceOfSpades: 691g/948w(6 AT120's)= .73g/w
Jillybean: 278g/314w(2 AT120's)= .89g/w
Total: 969g/1264w= .77g/w

The real way
22days veg using 314w@24hr=165.79kWh's used
53days flower using 1264@12hr=803.9kWh's used
Total: 969.69kW used to produce 969g. God those match up so perfect... 9993g/w. I could have trimmed one extra larf bud to get it to 1g/kw

My price is $0.30/kWh...high as fuck but is what is is for me. Good reason for led's right.
So veg cost me $49.74 (.314kw*24hrs*22days*$0.30)
And flower cost me $241.17 (1.264kw*12hrs*53days*$0.30)
Total cost was $290.91 in electricity to produce 969g of danks. Plus some great bubble too from trim and little nugs.

All in all it basically came down to the same problem the first run had. I really could have used 2 more lights. And not burn the shit out of my girls too would help. When actually looking at what happened and forgetting expectations and whatnot... my hps side was pretty low on the last run too...only about .55g/w with 3 600w magnetics. The led and hps sides were very different techniques and strains but the yields were the same pretty much so I guess I should call the led side a success to a degree. I may have sucked a little as a whole but I still did better with the led's.

I have said it too many times...the website blows.
They run of any voltage. Just have the right plug. They will always figure out shipping to people out of the country you just have to call or email to work out the details.

Very very nice.. i love how u broke the cost down. ©.30 per watt is nuts.. .08 cents on this side..

You must spread some Reputation
around before giving it to tags420
again.

Ohh yeah i just subscribed to ur channel on youtube..

Sweet grows m friend... crazy the diff in colors on that indagro under the leds vs the hps..

Hats off to u.. keep them coming..

Tags isn't is $0.19 per kWh for summer rates. Then $0.30 for rest of the year. Where I moved to, m paying $0.13 per kWh. F#*k Edison. I don't have to pay them anymore huha! once summer is officially over, I'm sure the rate will go up in a week or 2

PG&E tiers suck. It is down to like $0.24 or something last month, but still a raping.

Oh you up north . I went south east.

nice to see a real evaluation. Your as hard on yourself as i am!

Yep. Grew up in orange county down south. But been up north for a while now. It fits my way of life better.

I know what really great gardens are like and lately mine have been anything but top end. I have found some serious problems with my location. Once the IG is finished I will be done there. But it was fun and allowed me to play and do my test runs.
The numbers are what they are and I'm not too afraid to show my results...good or bad.
Growing at someone else's place is pretty hard to really dial things in. I yielded more out of my smaller personal setups in my own place...more attentive and easier to do/change things.

makes sense the girls always like it when you stay at home and nurture them

Harvested the IG room today. No pics or anything. Just a note to self to mark the date. 65 days of 12/12

EDIT:
I felt bad with no pic...so here is some bubble I made from the bigger room and a little outdoor left from last year.

Left is the Jilly and skunk#1 outdoor grade A 73micron andcame out awesome. Could be ice wax status.
Center in jar is mostly AOS with a little Big lemon but made it the other day so it is dry and ready.
Right is second wash of Jilly/sk1 combined with the both 25 runs...lost my 45bag somewhere. It's chunky/more solid and will take longer to dry...then crumble.

I wanna smoke some jilly, but not grow it. Maybe outside i would .

Why not grow it? For most it's the other way around. It has big yields and great bag appeal.

I never wanted anything to do with it till I SMELLED/saw a fresh dank harvest come into the club. After that I got my cuts. Mine is the only jilly I have smoked. It came out identical in smell to pineapple thai, which I love. But bigger nugs with jilly. I was really impressed with the high...everyone says it has no kick all bag appeal, but mine gets me smashed...so to each their own I guess.

I thought it wasn't that great of a yielded.... Eventually I want to get space bomb, conspiracy kush, and/or marionberry kush from tga. Rebuilding my garden is first. My old place, flower area was 8x4. Now I'm using a 2 5x5 closets. 1 veg 1 flower. I have room to get 2 5x10 tents also. With working room too.

are you sending out samples for us to try ?


lol thanks for sharing

Jilly is a good yielder. One of the better tga yielders.
I want a cut of subs timewreck#2. I may actually be able to get it possibly.
I have 4 conspiracies up and going. One confirmed girl. I also have 2 professor chaos left...2 confirmed males killed this morning so far. Marion berry looked dank, they were out at the cup, so they gave me the chaos tester. I have doctor who 5 pack untouched...and one conspiracy bean saved.

I am officially done flowering for a little and only have those 6 mostly unsexed seedlings and 1 nurse jackie clone vegging. I gave the nurse jackie mainline to greengenes so I will see how he does with it.

I honestly have done my best grows ever in a 6x6 tent. Tents work great and have everything installed(vents and hanging), plus they keep rooms clean and break down fast.

"honestly have done my best grows ever in a 6x6 tent. Tents work great and have everything installed(vents and hanging), plus they keep rooms clean and break down fast."

how many lights do you put in your 6x6 tent ?

It was a while ago and don't have it anymore. Started with 1000w but didn't use the whole tent. Then went to 2 1000w's after the first run. It was inside an aluminum shed in the backyard of my college house. The tent just barley fit inside the shed. And the shed was totally uninsulated. A complete college kid grow, but it pulled good weight and quality. It wasn't the ideal situation, but got me through college.
If I was going to do a 6x6 again, I would do (4) 600hps or like (6) 330CMH's. When light isn't a question things always go better. If the light is borderline enough, things get worse faster and easier than when there is plenty of light...just my experience.


EDIT:
That was back before me and led's. Looking at my lighting stash now...and in big tent...I would deck a 4x8 out with my at660 on one side, and the indagro with 2 at120's on the other. And have the craziest/best tent possible and never worry about coverage. [660,IG,120/120] so the pontoon is closest to the center. Just a thought for when I move.

Tags its funny you mention that setup above, looking at getting a new tent and caught myself daydreaming of what i want to do. my thoughts were close to yours but a lil differend dimensions wise, 2 at-120s on each side of a pontoond 420 (4 at 120s total) in a 4x6 tent. Wont be able to make that dream happen for a couple of harvests lol, but would be nice though. and definitely agree once lighting is a non issue everything else comes easy. That hash looks delish, cant wait to hear your yields with the IG. keep it green
