Episode 3...Revenge of the LED

Hi stealth it really cool seein some success with tha LeD's. Looks like youve been at it and got some of it figured out. I am lookin to use Led's on my next grow and was wonderin what kinda recomendations as far as which led's to go with and mind this will be for single plant scrog and budget is off high importance, cant afford tha proxicons etc. Looking at the "glow panel" 45 watt, and one thats 50 watt high power they are all like 12x12 panels. Are these worth a shot. Not really have to get huge yields etc jus enough for some personal use. Any help would be great. Name says rick but it should be Mulletman!!:rastabanna:

the panels are garbage...wont work. If you want budget, building your own would be the best bet...check the perfect LED growlight thread for info on that....

I'll second that!
WT knows of whence he speaks.

And, I just don't trust that vendor.
Dug up their specs.
Did the math.:wtf:
Does not compute!


Just my :twocents:

Thanks for the reply, saw your thread on the perfect led but kinda had skimmed through it the first time looks like I need to take a second look. So yall know those types of panels I was talkin about. yeah theres like this huge price jump with the leds its like it goes from tops 100 dollars to bam 500 and 600. From the outside I was just lookin at watts and thought well 45 watt panels for 100 dollars or so or those 90 or 100 watters for like 600 bucks and thought the 45's are tha deal. Thanks might be back.:wtf:

That's reasonable. And 45W. is enough light for a couple girls.
But, these guys claim 45W. from 112 10mm. LEDs.
That's 400mw ea.
Let's see, um carry the remainder,,,<scritch>
About 200 ma. per LED.
Their 300Watt unit has the same math impairment.
288 LED at 1 Watt ea. even 97% efficiency are not 300Watts!
:wtf:
I know what ya mean about prices.
Still, if they were cheap, I wouldn't build my own.
look at all the fun I'd miss. :)

Aloha Weezard

Oops, sorry for the jack WT, forgot where I was.

Weeze

Congratulations again Stealth. And your plants look good and healthy these days too. :thumbsup:

Without fail you get what you pay for. And 45 watts of nothing but the proper wavelengths might grow a very small plant.

Dateline: August. 17, 2008

The last few days weve been under heavy bombardment from the enemy. Our recon team brought us some valuable info on their true identity and there activities. It seems the biting midge(southpark anyone?), as its called, likes 80° and wet soil. So we mounted our offensive by jacking the a/c down to 72°, and suspending any any watering or foliar feeding. Also we have deployed the Hot Shot Pest Strip 101st Division and it seems to be making advances along the front. Recon also found these glue strips online with 2 holes at either end placed on a stick and driven into the soil, as the midges (midgi?) are prone to walk up the stem to take flight only to be trapped by the strip. We had the parts needed so the engineer corps. made a reasonable copy that seems to be a major weapon in our arsenal. Yesterday we called in the Naval forces to attack them with fish oils and other nutes in a hope to carpet bomb the entire installation.

The fight has been hard but we are beginning to see some headway. None of their scouts (adults) have been captured outside the closet. They may have heard punishment will be swift and severe...lol. Recon has shown this morning that a lone soldier was seen scurrying across the wall, but this is a significant improvement.

Be assured the war is not over but the fight is being taken to the enemy with as much passion, skill and technolgy needed to send those sons-of-bitches back from whence they came - outside.

That is all. Any troop movements or other significant happenings will be reported as it is known.

...lololol

P.S. Here a picture of our enemy. Know your enemy more than it knows you.

...LOL!!! right on. KILL EM ALL!!! :beatdeadhorse::apachecopter::rambo::Tomcat::toile t_claw::S4::gunfighter2::asskick::gunfighter2::hip py::hippy:
