Lets see her full that ass up.

Howdy bro. Yup this is the 150w from acdc. At the moment it is 1 plant. So not a major issue. And im working from home too. So i dont mind.
-
Honestly i rather u leave each thing individually wired. With short cables about 1 - 1.5m long outside the growbox. And get an extension . Plug everything to an extension near the grow box. And have 1 plug run to the plug point. Gives u total control of each and everything. Just in case some things not working aswell or u dont like it. Or want to upgrade. Whatever the reason.

I get what you saying bro. And the light at the back does put out abit of heat. But i mounted my light on the outside of my box. So the only heat that goes in the box is from the front of the light. As mentioned earlier. At 400mm away from the light i sit at about 25-27 degrees with no cooling. I normally run an extraction fan. So it drops my temp to about 23-25 degrees. I think thats pretty decent temps. And im basically maximizing on the lumens. Giving the plant as much as she can take without burning her. (The sun is alot tougher trust me) when i leave my plant in direct sunlight for a while. My hygro goes above 38 degrees. So im pretty happy with what the light is giving me currently. My plant is 10 days old here. She has only been getting the 150w led or direct sun. 24 hours of light

U want to bridge the led and the t8 tubes?

Depends on the size bro. Of the plant Mine girl is in week 2. Usually water every 2nd or 3rd day with 50-100ml

Ok so the floodlight im running is 150w cool white. I have a 500x700x1000 grow box. Light mounted to the outside. I raise the plants to the light. At 350mm away temp is 26-28 degrees. At 400mm away temps are at 25-27 degrees. These temps are with no circulation fans or extraction running. Subtract a degree or 2 for every fan i put on.(i have small fans) at this seedling stage im just using 1 small fan. I am planning to run a max of 2 plants in the veg box. Right now i just have 1 plant in there. But another member was vegging 4 plants under 1 x 50w led floodlight. And they seem to do ok. U can run them 24 hours on. The first week of sprouting i did that. And i use the sun as much as i can. And anytime i cant use good direct sunlight. I put them under the light. This is a easy process when u have a few plants. But if u got an army. It becomes a challenge.

Led market is vast bro. Have to do your research on what your needs are first. Also i suggest u spec a light 1 size up. As these lights get really expensive and its always better to give yourself a good buffer for the future instead of having to upgrade later at another large amount. However this only gets expensive if u want a complete grow light to run from seed to harvest. Led lights for vegging are extremely affordable right now fow what u getting. I know about 6 guys on here including me thats using the acdc floodlights. And so far not 1 negative remark. Light costs under R400. But if u go this route. U woukd have to use the sun for flower only later on. As the light wouldnt be appropriate for flowering. Nice cheap simple solution for veg though.

Might be. But in terms of heat In terms of coverage In terms of life span In terms of power usage In terms of size LED is boss.

afternoon blazer replied to Prom's topic in Grow Diaries
Sorry brother. I hope u feel better. -
T @Ill_Evan thanks for the update bro. Those branches look soooo solid. Cant wait to see it fill out.
-
Im very impressed brother. 4 plants under that 1 light. And they seem to be doing well. Feeling very excited about my 150w. Very promising. Keep it up bro.
-
@Naughty.Psychonaut hold up brother. Are you telling me that u still have the 1x 50w led vegging those 4 plants currently?
-
Thanks bro. So using the same stratergy as u. As much direct sun as possible. Then supplement with the light. But i have been keeping the plant about 350mm away from the light ( im only doing 1 plant at the moment. So i dont need a big footprint. If i had more plants. I would have to keep the light higher for coverage.
-
Well. Good job bro. Fron the pics i have seen. It seems like u got some solid growth from the light. Nice height aswell. So from following the grow. It seems like you vegged the plants for almost 2 months?
-
well mo light mo grow. I am chatting to a few people at the moment about the light bro. Trying to get as much info as possible from people who are further in their grow. So far. Im only getting good feedback. Just watch your light bill bro. Dont let it run too far.
