Yes it is heavy stress.
Ok!i have already adjust all,thanks guys.
I replaced my Philips 11W (2700K) for 6x not so known german brand 15W 5000K @ 8€ until I receive the E27 multipliers to rise light intensity a bit (only 6 sockets right now, went from 66W to 90W).
Here in EU a good price for Philips corepro 60 11-13W line is around 4-5€ each, the colder, the more expensive usually.
vs a Philips:
Quality wise the philips win, no doubt about it. German bulb don't look bad, but LED and PCB quality differences are obvious IMO.
Don't know how this SILs will turn out, but for starters these as they have 2x the LED chip count of the philips, should have lower wattage chips and hence less light penetration even being a higher wattage bulb.
That's the point I tried to make some posts ago, it's not the overall watagge of the bulb what dictates how hard a SIL will hit the canopy, the LED chip number counts too.
They look like great SILs for a veg tent, let's see how they turn out.
What I have noticed today while watering is a noticeable difference in stem thickness vs the previous HPS run.
Before
After
I didn't compensate light temp in white balance to show real life color.
One thing is for sure, they feel twice as powerful in terms of light intensity!

Hi guys now the plant is growing with one bulb but the leaves still pointing up.Yesterday before follow your advice i was sure it was a normal plant light response in some cases,but now?i increased a bit the distance from light and now is 15cm.This morning the plant appeared normal(first pic),the second is now.
Thanks guys sorry for the inconvenience.

DON'T WORRY GUYS i solved the enigma.I've simply added a second bulb as you can see in the pic and the leaves rapidly came back into normal position.

Hey guys!
Happy to update thi perpetual cicle in the slevin Garden!
Here you can see the division in the 80x80 GB.
Behind you can see the three flowering plant, Somango XL - Royal Gorilla and Amnesia Haze, 40 day flowering the day of the pic (three days ago)
In the center 2x Somango XL (Yes i love it lol) and 1 Shining silver haze, exactly 50 day from seeds (three days ago)
In germination you can't see anything but i've 3 regular chocotonic , 3 PCK Tonic 2 MKTonic and 1 Skunk XL, are regular seeds hope to find almost 3-4 female.
Some Bud
Thank you,
from you're Italian friends it's everything ciaooooooooooooo
PS. Sorry for my bad english guys

9 weeks to the day and the more destroyerish looking Violeta x Napalm is near as makes no difference to finished. (I needed room for the 3 Lebanese females which just got tossed into flower.) The other plant is at 4 weeks and is developing a more OG-Violeta structure in flower.
Here's 6 weeks on Panama Goddess x Zamaldelica.
(Mauritius x Ethiopian) x Super Silver Haze from DRM Ranch. I have two distinct phenos, the densely flowering, SSH looking plant at 6 weeks and the leggy, very ethiopian looking plant at 5 weeks.

150w (Ten 15w bulbs half 3000k, half 5000k) over 8 sqft actually, its a 4'W x 2'D x 4'H cabinet. I'll probably end up stepping it up to 12 bulbs eventually, but its been pretty hard to argue with what 18w per sqft puts out.

I got 12 x 9w, spaced 6" on center
6, 3000k and 6, 5000k
108w/3.75sqft = 28.8w/sqft
I kind of had a hard time deciding on wattage but I came up with this at around 30w/sqft and I figured it would be a good starting point.
Nice buds and gardens everyone! I'm really happy with how my setup is working out and I've got to say thanks for the inspiration that came from this thread! Looking forward to seeing more
-Cheers
You can always replace bulbs with different wattage or temp color in a matter of seconds, and re-use older, or no longer needed bulbs at home.
You can always take out a SIL and place a E27 multiplier (3x, 4x, 5x, 7x...) on its socket...
SILs are sooooo flexible!!
I targeted for 30w per sq feet. Thinking on assembling a grid-like rig to place the sockets instead of the "octopus" way. Reasoning being to achieve the most uniform light overlapping:
A design I'm considering (The more stretchy plants will go on the right side):
2700K are 11W, the rest 13W, so total will be 10x11W + 10x13W = 240W, total about 34w per sq feet.
Open to suggestions!

Hola guys!!here's the evolution of my box.I added a second fan that will help me in the flowering and a mini humidifier.I think the plant has suffered a bit of light stress or low humidity (visible from first leaves) but after all it looks healthy.These leds are very powerful

What would someone recommend for a 90x90x160 cm tent? Just upgraded from a microgrow. Found Philips 33W 6500k 4000 Lumens led bulbs at a local store but can't seem to find any in 2700K. Don't mind if i have to put a heap of low wattage bulbs in, trying to find the highest though. Only ever grown with cfl so all new to me. Thanks in advanced!
