Update

 

[bigkuz68]

here is my new 600 watt panel. fits just perfect over the aeroflo.

 

[blahman]

wow , led has come a long way. They are looking very good. Can't wait to see how much you pull.

 

[bigkuz68]

thanks blahman, i am excited myself to see the speed of the aeroponics. this fixture i had warm white put in... i see this as important as the gaps in the red side of the spectrum should be filled. especially since i will only be flowering with this light.

(edit) here is the specs on the light:
50% 660nm, 30% 630nm, 10% 460nm, 5% 440nm, 3% warm white, 2% 720nm IR
576 1watt diodes
degree angle is 60.

this plant is 4 weeks from root

Very sweet.
Who makes the 600watt panel.
I am thinking that would work nice hung vert.
For big girls.

 

[bigkuz68]

i had it made from a chinese manufacturer. alibaba.com has verified sellers, they make it however you order it... between $600 to $800 for 600 watter plus shipping.

 

[bigkuz68]

oldest plant is 40 days from root, the rest are about 32 days. the 600 watt had to be moved so i could replace my last hps. two procyon 100s are taking over. they dont seem to mind.

 

[MaryJuwann]

Very very nice. Keep it going :)

 

[devious d]

wow im shocked didnt think leds were capable, is that with no hps if so im impressed how do they cane the electric? better than hps good work

 

[bigkuz68]

yeah its with no hps. i proudly took down my last hps the other night, turned the ac to fan mode, and replaced 6 inch can fan with an old 4 incher. its cooler, quieter, and less power. ac is like another 1k, and the 6 inch can fan is obscenely loud. plus, i firmly trust that the end result is more potent. i have smoked and vaped the same strain grown under hps and grown under led. grown both by me. the led bud is more weight per nug, more crystal per bud. the led bud feels more moist while growing. more resin, better taste, better smell. hands down.

 

[bigkuz68]

for example...

:rauch08:
i would be thrilled to get entire buds like that. so far just the first cm or so on buds has gotten like that.

might just buy a led light to accommodate my HPS

 

[bigkuz68]

a combination has been very successful in the past for me. good luck man

 

[Midnight_son]

bigkuz, what are the dimensions on your 600w led? how much does it weigh?
Thank's

 

[bigkuz68]

its about 3 1/2' long, 1'wide. about 30lbs or so...note that this panel isnt over these plants anymore. i had a 1k hps that was the last hid in our entire grow. the 600 had to go there. over two monsters. over the aeroflo now is two procyon 100.

 

[bigkuz68]

the aero had slowed down for the last few days with just those procyons. the wavelengths are 450 and 635... i added a 90 watt all 660nm. i may add another in the coming weeks. but these will become permanent supplementary lights once i get one more high wattage panel

 

[BOSSMAN88188]

Very very impressive.
Good job of showing all the haters what can be done.
I used to be a hater till these new panels.
Now I am a believer.
I hope I can pull as quality a harvest as you.
