Tomorrow :) That'll be 61 days. I'm not trying to make any claims about different flower times under different lights but seriously, looking with a microscope today it appeared ~35% amber triches on the iGrow side and ~20% amber on the HPS. I'll try to take some super macro shots tmw with my camera of some triches to verify that.Excellent thread, it's really good to see side-by-side comparisons like these. How long until you pull the indicas?
seriously Sarlacc, no offense (yet..), but you're starting to sound like a fanboy/shiller/spammer for iGrow (we know what this looks like all too well here, especially on the subject of new lighting tech). these kind of posts should prob be in that other rotting induction thread started by the indagro shillers, and leave this one for the bunny to show us his grow?
Because this is just a SIMPLE test. I didn't partition it in separate areas because that would effect the flow of air. A/C is on one side of the room that would make the sides different temps, the side with the carbon filter exhaust would obviously be moving air through faster and I'm not willing to try and get that in the middle of the room, I only have one oscillating fan and don't want to have one for each side, etc... It's loud enough in my apartment running as is with air stones and everything else, I'm surprised none of my neighbors have complained about that constant hummmmmmmmm,uuuuuuuummmm of the ocillating. I can barely sleep with it in the next room.WB why not at least partition the plants so the light from one or the other does not effect the results? By it's very design in overall size area coverage and energy efficiency the iGROW is going to outproduce the 1000 watt HPS at least in terms of grams/watt. And it would also appear that the buds are of better quality. By simply partitioning off the lights you'll put the kabash on comments like I've seen posted here and on other threads that the results a 'B quality at best', or 'it won't compete with HID' etc etc etc while still, for whatever reason, liking the journal. That I don't get.
TTYSTICK- I looked at plasma as a possible option before going with iGROW and like you said the spectrum deficiencies required some other supplement to flower. And at a considerable price to what can be done with an iGROW two lamp option. I don't know how familiar you might be with the chameleon systems but it to is also a plasma which they add red LEDs to in order to enhance flower. And while I would agree it's energy efficient if you look at the price of this system you'll see it's twice the price of the iGROW and it won't cover as large of an area.

As far as quality, for me right now, it's not as great as the HPS and you would see that if you read through my observations and replies (not saying that somebody could get it dialed in better and get better quality from iGrow). There is the B pheno of the Scott's OG x Headband that does appear to like the iGrow more and produces a better bud structure, frost, and density, but unfortunately that was the last run of that pheno because it is getting narrowed down to the super fire C pheno only.
I don't think anybody is dismissing the technology completely, that's why they are watching threads like this. We just don't like it when somebody jumps on here and starts yelling at us saying that this is the ultimate and best technology ever and that we should all switch and save the world's energy and grow the best bud in the world! Even telling long time HPS fans to make the switch and spends thousands on redoing their system. Not practical scrapping all their knowledge and trying to get a whole new system dialed in.
Do you have a vehicle Sarlacc? Because I don't, I bike. But you don't want me to tell you over and over and over that you should make the switch to a bike because of all the money you are wasting on gas and repairs, not to mention the harm cars bring to our world. Sometimes making the switch with any technology, no matter how amazing the new stuff is, isn't practical or worth doing.
Thanks everybody, I enjoy the feedback for sure. Let's not get on the subject of our personal energy use outside of the grow rooms though, I was only bringing up the bike thing to prove a point about practicality.man you gotta get rid of those gnats, they're messing up some really nice buds. regular use of bti or Cap's foliar should end it..
WB have you ever grown with high-end blue mh? i had similar trich production on my mixed hps/edfl run, but def not to the level of a good hps/mh combo, or even some dual-arc meds i've seen. also i found the edfl effect to be rather limited to the tops, with bling quickly decreasing as i trimmed down the colas (not the answer i wanted, but alas..)
Word, I appreciate the comments :) I only post when there is a project at hand, otherwise I could post tasty nug shots all day long!Weedster bunny, you got skills, bro- thanks for bringin' the closeups!
please, that'll be interesting. is he running any of the same clones?I have a buddy who just sent some ladies into flower using only one iGrow in a closet. He has done it before and got decent production. I'll see if I can snag some pics when he's finishing up for the stand alone results.
There might be one or two the same, I'll see what he's got in a few days, maybe grab some pics.please, that'll be interesting. is he running any of the same clones?
