First Indoor 600w Led Experiment

what is your thinking on what the honey does for the plant?

Molasses is a better option
Molasses contains B-vits, calcium, and a good amount of K which is great for hardening flowers
sugar feeds the microbes
but if you are JUST feeding sugar it just feeds the microbes
as well honey has anti-microbial properties as what microbes in honey kill others

Just wondering

Molasses it is! Not trying to harm my microbes at this stage

yes molasses is where it's at man! I believe unsulphured blackstrap molasses is the best type. even more goodies inside than normal unsulphured.

:fire:BOOM!:fire:

The ultimate in molasses is before you. Sometimes you gotta take a spoonful yourself. So good.

That's what I've been using:)

My asses it is.. lol.. Putting in my 8 hrs... If I can get by with out working 2 hard to day then maybe I can get some more work done in the basement. I took a break since my all weekend excursion. ...

I just ordered two 150w 12band full spectrum ufo led lights to add to the 600w led. Gonna hang one on each side of the 600. Question: was this over kill for a 2.5 x 5 foot area? I could just use one in the flower room and put the other in the clone seedling room? Then again The seedling room is probably to short in elevation to hang the led, I think it would be to close to the tops. Hhhhhmmmm. Thinking out loud. Any thoughts?

Def not overerkiller. You can put two more :)

you could potentually place 8 of them in there ....with your 600 .....now that would be perfect
4 per side of the 600
that would = 1k total in wattage

I think it's gonna be sweet. Full light wall to wall. Rocking and rolling!!

always go by wall draw
comparitive watts is a flasehood

I meant how much money?

So true but .... the galaxy he is talking about has an actual power consumption of about 368-482W (depending on edition and age) and i wanted to compare.

Going to have 900 when the UFO lights come in a few days. Actual draw not sure, but probably 400:)

I actually have no idea what my actual draw is or is going to be. Maybe someone can help me figure it out??

Total 250 dollars in lights

the 150w ufo's draw about 45-50w at the wall

LED for the most part is a lie

what I mean by that is that they will claim
500w of power
what they are really saying is
the 150w led MAY be equivilant to 500w of incadescent

and all leds are not made the same as is the case with hps for the most part

with hps you can pretty much throw in any 600 and know what to expect

with LED it is a differ story

the LED's that I run are true 75w a piece actual 3500k spectrum
a total of 300w of actual draw = 150 par watts which is pretty equivalent to a 600w Gavita
I am outputting 48,000 lumens with 300w
it has been measured at 950ppfd in a 2x4 space @18" above canopy
I pulled of 300g off my last run with 300w of light
with those blurple type single diode leds you have to get like 4" to the plant because of the reverse square law principle

sorry rambling

but yeah 50w per ufo

I have Apollo smart v3 280w - drow 180w, Mars II 700w - draw 525w and Mars hydro reflector 480w -draw 300w, all three placed in square. Lights are 20cm above cannapy. Draw from wall 1005 w or 1kw in 4x4 about 1k euros worth of lights
