205w LED vs 400w HID Let the battle begin!

[JWP]

hahaha i dont think many people match it with blaze when it comes to setting up the enviroment. i guess the light leak comment must have been because of the tarp zip ups?

i think he enjoys setting up these grow rooms more than the actual growing... well maybe just as much at least lol

I think you know blaze a little

I always take pride in setting up my rooms, I put a little piece of my heart into every room and grow I build, To have some asshat come into my thread and try to belittle my work, Is a kick in the face and I may be a nice guy, But you kick me in the face and I will not hesitate to defend myself.

At the end of the day, Arguing with a hater/troll is like kicking a drunk guys ass, even though you whip their ass, it makes no difference they won't remember it and will eventually get drunk and start more shit. Better to ignore their ramble and enjoy knowing their full of shit!

Thanks blynx, We will consider your quote, my update day 7 comparison pics.

Exactly

Without blaze i wouldnt be running a 18 pot rdwc right now that works better than any dutchpot can do !!!
so big up blaze once again.

im hoping time will pass faster than my perceiption i want to see the end result, i cant wait.

im about to toke on a heavy ghs cheese spliff so

 

[YosemiteSam]

don't know that is worth a freakin thing blaze....but i appreciate the effort and will be watching mostly with my mouth shut.

thanks for the effort and for putting up with a bunch of retarded shit

dude, how are they doing, wheres some pics??

^^^^^ Ditto ^^^^^
Can you get some pics posted please ???

I did and the post was removed, Im not wasting a second reposting a post I already posted. Next update coming monday. The pics are in my Led Test Grow album.

The insert picture function is not working and I have to manually attach the pics using img and url tags which sucks. The day 7 updates are in my album as mentioned above, I'll update again on day 14 which is this coming monday.

I have a kill-a-watt meter from Home Depot (off brand), and according to it the power draw of the 205W unit is between 185-190W. The actual light being produced in wattage is about 10W less than the overall power consumption, so this light creates about 180W of light vs the 400W HPS which draws about 430-450W of power to run it's 400W bulb.

- Sorry, that "creates about 180W of light" is completely untrue. The max efficiency for those LEDs is roughly 70 lumens/watt. A 400W HPS gets 100 lumens/watt minimum. You cannot compare watts (power) because you have to take into account efficiency considerations. In future I expect most growers to adopt CMH or sulphur plasma lamps because of their ability to produce broad spectrum white light with high efficiency.

I can't tell you how anxious I am for sulphur plasma's to become available. By available I mean in appropriate wattages and affordable enough to get a hold of.

Edit: Got downrated for this so apparently I should expand on it. Sulphur Plasma lamps are a new technology with a much higher lumen-par-fc/watt rating than any other lamps available.

What's up icmag, I was gonna wait until monday to update, However I went over last night to water and check on the babies and to my suprise the LED side has taken off. The Mh side is a little behind right now.

Here are the pics!


This is a shot of the largest plant from the LED side and largest from the HID side, LED on the left HID on the right!


Here is a rewind, This shows day 1 till now.

Day 1


Day 7


Day 11


The led side is currently winning, Currently the led is around 8" from the tops of the babies and the HID was around 14" but I dropped it down to around 10" when I took the pictures.

That's my update for now!

Looking good!

How long are you gonna veg for?

Until I get a nice even solid green canopy, Then I'll flip...

 

[staff11]

This is a very cool thread, looking awesome there blaze and blynx.

Probably a real stupid question but what kind of heat do those LED's throw off?

Are you going to do any training? topping? crushing? etc or just let em grow naturally?

I think I am gonna go all natural I am not gonna try and increase the end results by manipulation. simply cause I want to see what they do in a straight up grow.

lookin good do the temps stay equal in both tents?

There is about a 3 degree difference between the 2. The LED side is around 82f and the mh side is around 85f. So its close but not exact!

They put off a little heat, But that heats pushed out the top of the hood by the fans pretty quickly and the actual glass lense of the hood is just slightly warm to the touch no real heat, The glass does not come close to hot just slightly warm and mainly right under each array.

looking good!i only use for veg.never tried for flowering and am happy with my 2 ufos for vegging

 

[apollonio]

very nice blaze! thanks for the update!
