125 watt LED grow

[Sportster]

Aaaaaaahahahahahaaaaaa..... I found the Gopher!!!


Right on, now I can see how this project finished up......DAMN, I searched all over, put out the word in a big way lookin' to get the out come of this test run.....~AN~ sure blew chunks shuttin' down the site right at the climax of your LED project test run....really pissed me off, so I set out looking for yaz, as I knew you'd pop up somewhere....LOLROF!!! I didn't think about IC, until someone alerted me about this thread!!!!......

Anyways....good to see you found a cyber slot to post up the finishing up of this test run!!!

No worries bro, I will let folks know when they are available. I don't know if the guys are planning on going public with their company or not. If they do I will be mortgaging my soul to get some shares.

Yes they are mounted on a panel and housed in something that looks very similar to a box style reflector. I am hoping they will be building some demo units soon so I can post some pictures of them. Cool find on the LEDs, I have been using CFLs in my house for a few years now and my biggest complaint with them is the smell they make when they burn out, it seems to linger for weeks.

Yeppers, it is really an LED grow. My HPS grows look considerably different from this. I will post a pic of the HPS table I had going at the same time.

newRandude

Yeah, I firmly believe they are the future of growing. These things are far easier on the plants than HID lighting which seem to use more of a brute force approach to things.

Sportster, I'm glad you tracked me down bro, I figured you would be particularly interested in how things finished up. I should have the final weights in a few more days.

 

[pumpkin2006]

So when do we hear a final weight? Looks like at least 1oz plants each.

 

[LordOvertoke]

really glad i got to see this one finish up....i was lurking and watching the progress at AN before they went down.

my hat's off to you Gopher, you're the first one i've seen to complete an LED grow thread online....seems the results are impressive.

i know at AN you were posting the side by side pics with the HPS vs. the LED's....any chance you can post the final weight on both grows?

i'd really like to be able to make that grams per watt comparison and you're the only one i know that can give a good estimate at this point.

thanks and kudos on the LED grow.

I am glad I got to see the finish of this. Awesome gopher and like everyone else will be watching closely for more details to come out. Good show.

 

[Shove_it]

wow....that growroom look`s very nice...anda a great harvesting whit only 125 w clap clap clap i`m really shure that you gona enjoy that
gretting from shout america and i hope you show us more from that indoor...
C ya

 

[ParadimeBag]

wow. i will seriously buy at least one of those LED units. This is some great results for that low of wattage. great job and keep me posted on the availability of those lights.

 

[Gopher]

The final number are in.

The final number are in.

I wish it was an oz. per plant but it turned out to be more like half of that. The yield from the LED was 163 grams (5.75 oz.) and for the HPS side I got 648 grams (24 oz. and a tiny bit). I will save you the time of doing the math and tell you I got .68 grams per watt with the 1K HPS and 1.3 grams per watt with the LED.

I don't think I did bad on either side given the problems I had with my soil and I am particularly pleased with the LED side as it gave me double the gpw of the HPS and those plants had no light over them for the first 3 weeks of flower.

It looks like it will be a few weeks before we get started on the next round. Now that we have the reliability issues behind us the plan is to run the 355W 1K replacement on one table and the 125W unit I ran this time on the other table. Of course I do have a whack of clones on the go right now so I am ready when the time comes. . .

I will let everyone know when the lights become available. Hopefully it won't be in the too distant future.

 

[blackone]

This sure is an interesting thread - please keep us updated

 

[marijuanamat]

How come you can't show us a pic or spec's of this 125w LED array?

 

[lotatokin]

yes,,,,let us know for sure,,,,,,,how can we get one? and when? and stock,,,,is a great idea pumpkin

 

[hydrorascal]

Like many I got in late on your thread at AN... glad to see ya able to post the finals on both grows.

Ive got my seedling / clone unit done. The veg unit is well under way for the first proto with the bloom unit not too far behind. Working with them can sure be fun as you have learned. Great to see the g/w listings you posted too.

Hokey smokes..........!

Hokey smokes..........!

This LED business must be evolving daily. Look at what I just found as a replacement for 400w HPS. Burns 38 watts of led.........Found on ebay stores at LEDBulb.Bizz

G90-38W 2,100 LUMENS PURE White CREE XLAMP XR-E Equivalent LED Light Bulb

85-265V E39/E40 Mogul Base Brightest Globe/Ball Replaces 400W



You are ordering on one(1) or multiple of high brightness PURE White LED light bulb with 2,100 lumens. This high-tech Street ball lamp is the brightest Globe type LED light bulb. It is a standard Edison E39/E40 screw base light bulb for flood light with CREE Equivalent LED that can fit your existing light fixture. Built it with the Multiple High brightness LEDs COB(Chip on Board)white lamp makes is close to a 400-watt incandescent bulb. The 160 degrees beam angle make this bulb suitable for replacements of American Home Street Lamp with Mogul based incandescent light bulbs.



This bulb can be used for indoor and outdoor enviroments. If you do not specify in bid we will automatically ship One Pure White Bulb.



The bulb socket in the center(G90) is a mogul-base, meaning it has a larger diameter than a regular light socket (medium Edison-base), and is typically made of cast porcelain for the higher temperatures. Mogul-base lamps are available for industrial use in larger wattages (250-1000) and in halogen, high-pressure sodium and metal halide and now in LED light bulb configurations.

i will change over when i see product grown with led...untill then hps for me

 

[redslayer187]

marijuanamat: he can't show the light because the company he is testing it for doesn't want any of the details to get out about their design until they are ready to release it to the public.

 

[pumpkin2006]

i will change over when i see product grown with led...untill then hps for me

Huh I thought this was a thread that was "product" grown with an LED array...

 

[Guest]

it has not showed me any produce yet...well i guess a little but they are not showing the lights and a lot more has to be sorted out...im not jumping on board yet was my only intention of the post you responded to...relax

 

[hydrorascal]

White leds are NOT what is needed for plants. They respond to very specific wavelengths and white isnt one of them.

Might be good for veg...but certainly not for much else with plants.

 

[Chiefsmokingbud]

Blue or red bubba lol. White LED's are the high spectrum of blue which to my knowledge plants don't use.

 

[Gopher]

Sorry for not getting back sooner, I have been busy sampling all of the strains from both lights and it tends to make me a little lazy. It looks like you guys did okay without me anyway.

I guess I will start with some news for Pumpkin and lotatokin, the lights should start showing up in hydro stores in about 6 - 8 weeks for those who want them.

Hey hydrorascal, yeah working with these things can be real fun, I think now I can laugh at some of our early attempts, we really tortured some plants along the way.

gladysvjubb, I hope you don't take what you read on e-bay as being gospel, or even anywhere near true. I have seen lots of claims being made by a lot of folks selling LED grow lights and the one thing they all have in common is there aren't any pictures of ANYTHING growing under their lights, let alone our favourite plant which is a light hog in comparison to say a dwarf African Violet.

brainthor, I aint jumping on ya! I expect there will be a lot of people that will keep burning 3 times the power they need to be until they are comfortable with the technology. . .

Uhm, damn, I forgot who it was that asked about why there won't be any pictures or technical descriptions, it is as Redslayer (forgot the numbers on the end) says. Giving any of that information or showing pics (the units I use are raw components) would just be counter-productive and could help their competitors figure out what they are doing that makes them work so well.
