GIRL's GOT SKILLS

[Aspenou812]

If you notice I do a major upgrade every time I harvest... Ill have a twin room on the other side of the work area and Double what I have now.... With all the above mentioned upgrades... I am actively on a mission to build out the DanPlan... And ill have 4 just like this one... That's 4 veg in rooms... Going the fuck off... The last two rooms will have 3 additional plants slightly larger to hold 3 4x4 Drain Trays... Those will also have 4 hlg550v2 in them.... Lol how's that for overkill.... DIRFT.... Means Do it right the first time....

When I stepped away from this thread... Dan took me to the other spot and made sure I was hooked up with the right people to further my knowledge and skills... They are amazing.. My Z labs Family.... They will bring you up... Amazing to learn so much from so many Exelent growers... With Zero Bulshit... When I stepped away and placed my main thread there... Well I've come a very long way...and I'm just starting... This is gonna be fun... If you want to up your knowledge and skills with zero b's and debate or Haters... And be in an awesome group of highly skilled growes... That are all willing to help and advise me.... That's the place... And that's a no Bulshit statement... Its a much smaller than Icmag but a much tighter group on a mission to make its members better growers...

I have two 8 cree 3500K 3590 cob lights. This is a Sour Dubb leaf under one of the cree 8 cob lights. The plants love them. The leaf is on a 8x11 piece of paper.

I run a few hlg550 v2s and I would agree that 4x4 is a stretch but they certainly grow great flowers with 480 Watts. Super simple and they run pretty cool and are easy to get with real customer service. The fact that the cxb3590s are still respected says a lot though. They have been around for a bit. I would like to see a passively cooled 12 cxb3590 light for less than the hlg550. It’s really about making your canopy fit right under the lights you choose.

Rapid led has a 4x4 600 watt cob kit with 12 cxb3590 running at 50w, its $10 less than the hlg550v2 list price and 200w more light lol.

If you can build a frame for the lights yourself its a considerable saving.

I was just looking at far red led over at rapidled.

Well I forgot to mention.... I won't be paying full price... So ill be running 3 per room.... Each will be responsible for a 3.5 foot width... Remember I don't run 3 4x4 trays I run 2 and a 2x4... 3 will cover and fill my space... With all the upgrades on the lights... I simply can't get another fixture anywhere as powerfully for the price.... I'm getting a hook up That's extremely hard to beat....

Itchy... I'm gonna be wanting you to make me 4 of yours for veg... And moms....

I got my far red led ordered. Hopefully it cuts some time off my flower cycle. I have a rental inspection around harvest time, this round.

You can also run 11 on 13 off instead of 12/12 to help finish faster.

Yeah yields will go down but there are other considerations that the math misses, like summer in Florida. It’s all dependent on what the limiting factor is, power usage, available space, ac, time, market... The hlgs will be good, purchasing a bunch myself, but those 1k hps double ended are hard to beat in a good reflector especially if you can run several rows. Next to each other they will cover 6 feet wide each so it really depends on the canopy size and shape. Best of luck.

My shop runs 3phase

The summer heat will increase your numbers by about 4 miles...monthly July power bill was about 900... I also have lights on 24/7....

We all might be weird but certainly you understand there are lots and lots of variables that don’t fit in simple equations: humidity, construction type, Florida, room size, r-values, dehumidifier, sun exposure, ceiling height, humidity, power bills that make you nervous, Florida, available space, ability to cool year round, it’s not all about numbers etc.

Honestly, I don’t know anyone on this site but from what I can tell aspen has pretty much decided based on advice she trusts in what could be an opportunity to expand the number of plants she can flower and still keep things “cool”.

That being said I would like to hear what lights you run.
