Hey. So I am relatively new to the game. I'm om my last week of flower of my first grow. My mentor
@Genesis, who is quite reliable, is telling me my four bigger of the seven remaining plants I have are each around 1.5 lbs. if not more. The other three were runts, not as quality clones to start flower with, so if you veg your plants the proper amount of time, I can attest it makes a big difference. Anyway, you probably know that already. What I was getting at is they are still expected to yield about a pound a piece.
I'll have a thread of my grow up soon. I took detailed notes of the whole grow. I ran what I think is a pretty good comparison between CMH and LED. My current setup is an 8 site DWC by CCH2O using CCH2O nutes and CO2 @1500. Day temps at 86, night at 76F. I have four girls under LEDs and four under CMH in an every other one pattern with HPS side Lighting in the center of the two groups of four girls (so each girl gets 250 Watts of HPS from one of their corners). The LED and CMH draw about the same wattage. Neither plants were much larger than the others and it looks like yield will be very similar for both, but I will have final results for you soon. The LED definitely LOOKS more dense. Stems aren't as long between nodes, but the plant heights are the same. Again, I'll have actual results soon.
These LEDs that I ran are made by
@tags420 by him at his company Pacific Lighting Concepts. He has a
YouTube channel. Check out that video where he does a comparison of Apache Tech LEDs vs. 1000 watt HPS. The results may surprise you. Check out his other videos too. I recommend his products. Top quality stuff.
The pic of my avatar is of a plant under one of his CX300s. I'll upload more pics as part of the thread I post of my grow and will link it here for you when I do in a couple weeks.
Uploaded a couple pics. First is of LED and the second is of CMH. Both beautiful girls IMHO.
