Totally rootin for you and your company LEDGirl. I have big hopes and expectations and these individual tests will be the thing that I need to see as a sort of testimonial. But if these can actually perform like you say they do, i hope that your company can keep up wit production demands that may arise.

After all, security is number one and for bigger shows, and electricity usage is one of the biggest oncerns for most peeps around here and if you're one of the ones that pay for the electricity usage, LED will help so much more with being able to get away with bigger shows and with less risk!!!

More dank for everyone!!! Woohoo!!!

Sry for the hijack LEDGirl, and the rant :hijacked:




Try her vendor forum, instead of her GROW JOURNAL/DIARY. i sincerely think your WRONG when you say that she not prepared to provide info, she has done nothing else since she signed in, just look at this thread? its a grow diary, not a FAQ thread yet it is FILLED with questions being answered, relating to her product, instead of the plants wich this thread really is about, go to her vendor forum where these questions belong. ;)
ill even make it easy for you :http://www.icmag.com/ic/forumdisplay.php?f=65640 <-- her vendor forum
Remember to read the sticky by payaso unless you want trouble in there too
i would have PM'd you about this, but your post count is too low :moon:

:rant:

LEDGirl, im truly sorry for all of these posts concerning this issue(post from my side, i just cant help but reminding these dudes how wrong they are asking in here), if i were you i would get a mod to clean ALL posts (including this one) except for those concerning your GROW and questions relating to that, then edit your first post to include in bold that all questions about the LED products you sell, should be directed at your vendor forum and provide a link to it!? From that point report all posts not relating to the grow but the LED's (except of course those Q's about how the LED's affect the plants) and not respond to any of them in here, just a friendly thought, bcuz about now, if i were in your shoes i would have been really stressed out :confused:.




The original reason i came in : Since i cant get my eyes offa your plants, i want to ask if you got any new pics of the progress of your babies :watchplant: perhaps even some dried fruit :D
ill be in the back lurking :lurk:
-Strains :smokeit:

oh and btw shoot me a PM if you want this post taken down, again sorry.
You didn't even read my post asking about the actual power draw of the LEDs and how the claim that they have 126 x 1W LEDs yet it draws only 126W from the power outlet is not correct, I stated the maths to prove it and asked a legitimate question about the actual power draw of the LEDs.

I clearly stated it was not being nasty or a troll post so climb down from your high horse and stop using childish smilies :)moon:) as it only makes you look like a child.

As for a mod deleting the post instead of LEDgirl, maybe the mod should have moved that post to the correct forum and placed a link in my post showing it and explaining the reason why, it would have been a more productive and respectful way of doing it (respect must go both ways so don't expect it if you won't show it) as it is usually done on other forums.
That would have avoided my rant above.

I apologise to LEDgirl for assuming it was her that deleted it, I will ask the question again in the correct forum and hope she will oblige with the accurate information.
I will eat some humble :pie: and delete the rant above and here is some for you :pie:

These lights work fantastic for veg. If you want to see a demonstration, go to our forum and look at the 126W vs 180W competition hosted by IrishBoy. Anyhow, depending on how your garden is arranged, I would use 3 x 126W units to replace a 1000W light, but if you need to fill a 4' x 4' area, using 4 panels would give you the most even spread of intensity.

When you give recommendations like this to fill an area, which angle lens do you use/recommend? the 30 or 60?

I know 60 is twice 30, but in reality, how much wider is the footprint of the unit going with a 60 vs 30? how much deeper does the 30 perform than the 60 (unit-wise)?

60 is our standard lens, so it is the one I always refer to. The footprint difference is a few inches around the edge, and the 30 can penetrate a few feet deeper than the 60 degree. As for a general recommendation, I suggest the 60 degree for 98% of the people out there.

Here are the dry and trimmed photos:

So that's 40grams, 42grams, and 46.6 grams, which equals 128.6g, or 4 ounces, 16.6g 100% dry. We also cut the buds up to get rid of the big stems. Anyhow, we have bigger plants on the way!

Yes, it was 1 plant that was chopped about 1-2 weeks early, as I saw a few small seeds forming because a different plant had begun to hermaphrodite. The rest of the plants right now are much healthier and bigger than she was ;) I expect a 6 ounce average off my next set, and hopefully higher if I get lucky.
 
Hi LEDGirl, i've been watching this thread since day #1 and have been rooting for you and LED technology in general for some time. I'm not trying to be inflammatory, but I remember you mentioning something about the "quality" of led buds vs. HID and from the pictures you just posted I must say -- the quality looks much lower than that of an HID grow. Is there any chance you can get some closer, more resolute photos posted in hopes that this is simply not the case. Good luck with your business ventures and hopefully I will be grabbing a few of these after the independent mod tests are finished!

So are you saying the photographs that I have posted of my garden, showing up-close images of trichomes and buds, are inferior to photographs you've seen under HID? Cause the images of the dry bud are simply dry bud, not up close shots of anything. Not to mention, the plant was chopped early (as mentioned) and it's Grape Ape (one of my lowest quality strains). Plants under LED are higher quality, and if you would have seen the last grape ape grown under HID, it would be easy to see the difference. Plants under LED also tend to grow more dense than they do under HID. Anyhow, you wanted an up close photo, so here it is (click it to view the larger image):

Remember, I was trying to approach you with a respectful attitude so try to return the favor (my apologies if you weren't trying to come off as such but your electronic attitude leaves a little to be desired). Also, i'm sure plenty of growers here at the mag (myself included) would have to disagree to Grape Ape being even remotely in the genre of "lower quality strains". The bud looks decent, but in my opinion and until I see more bud shots from those you have gifted lights to, HID grown grape ape seems to trump the LED bud in quality. (I run grape ape myself and can safely say the buds are a lot nicer, although I do have a nice cut floating around the cali medical scene)

P.S I'm still on your side and meant no disrespect, just an objective opinion.

Edit: For reference here is one of my GA ladies in full bloom:
Let me know if you would like me to remove the picture and I will do so immediately.

you should run some elite cuts for full flower cycle and trim them up nice with a proper dry and cure.. don't rush things. Remember presentation is everything in this game.

you gotta compete with this http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=106567&highlight=grape+ape

Pictures of the same old outdoor I used to buy when I actually had to purchase weed. I don't see any up-close quality images, but you can certainly tell those are soil. What you all need to remember is that I am a medical grower, doing this for my own benefit. I'm not out here to make something commercial, get it trimmed up to where there is zero leaf like that, to sell it on the street etc... My weed gets mashed up in a grinder and loaded into our volcano, that's it. I also can't verify that my Grape Ape strain is actually Grape Ape, as I got it as a clone from a nursery that has mislabeled MANY plants in the past. Anyhow, that's that. The grape ape plants are literally the lowest I have as far as quality is concerned... Below are pictures of two other strains I chopped down around the same time as the grape ape:

I don't think anyone can really judge the quality that led lights produce until someone runs a traditional elite cut under them, special gems are hard to find and a lot of the top commercial weed doesn't just pop up in every pack of seeds. A nice tight trim job goes a long way in presentation though.
