two 180 watt LED lights, ur lucky.
have you used an hps before? just wondering how you think they compare?
I am thinking about getting some LED lights to help out my hps.
they are crazy expensive.
you think its worth it?
let me get this straight.
your using two 180 watt LED's in a 6X6 area?
it would be too much light with the 90w led. you can have to much light spec and lockout ur plants. ive used 1000w hps befor. and the 1000w hps will win. but it was alot cheaper on the bill from engry, bulbs, and a/c to fight the heat from the hps. the tri-ban with the hps will work great, but the 180w 5ban i have will do more harm then good with hps. its like it not wise to use mh and hps on the same crop at the same time it dose more harm then more good. and if anyone thinks i am wrong ive done test with mh and hps and so has edd rosenthal, and it decresses yeild.
i only have a 180w right now for a 6x6 area right now but on my next grow i want to rock 2 180w's. today my plants seen the 180w for the first time. all of these pics on hear are from the 90w i am selling. i will post pics of the 180w grow after about a week from now.

"you can have to much light spec and lockout ur plants"
do you have a link with more info on the subject?
you also think mixing HPS with LED is bad?
( I have only used HPS for flowering and t5 for vegin so have not done any testing yet, i will soon; to have more fun :))
Yet I am thinking of throwing an LED into my flower room along with my 400 watt hps. I am using a few cfl's hung verticaly for supplementary lighting right now. The plants seem happy and at peace. my temps never get above 82. That sucks about your temp. You think an inline fan or two might help, or you already doin that.
photosinthesis gets pissed off when ur in the 90's :(
I notice different parts of the plant look and grow different depending on what kind of spectrum of light I have on them. (I kinda go by the kelvin on the bulb, might be a little lame.. but still interesting) I want to see what type of changes take place with an LED.
(I look at my plants with a natural light when examinin them) I am not just lookin at a blue light red light thing...
I wish I had a house and could send sunshine to my flower room using fiber optics. That sounds like more of a future to me...
how much you askin for the LED?

I am also lookin forward to new pics, Your plants look great right now :thumbsup:
I need to start a grow log on here so people can see my setup :(

it can lock out chlorophyll A if to peer of light is taken in. or something like that? i dont think mixing led with hps is bad.. but mixing hps with a 5ban led is bad.. the tri-ban will do fine. i have some friends that study leds and the tested the new 5 ban with a hps and it locked out the plants. and the led did better by its self and the hps did better by its self. ya my high temps suck, but they still look good for the heat stress they went threw, just wish i could see what they would have looked like right now with normal temps. if ur going to buy leds do ur homwork because their are alot of shitty leds being sold out their. like ebay ect. i did tons of resurch on my leds befor i bought them. just make a offer on my light the higest bidder takes it. or if i like the offer from the geco i might take it.
By providing the SunBurst Orange light, we not only promote creation of carotenoids, which are required for plant health, but also add to photosynthesis, since the carotenoids pass their absorbed energy to chlorophyll. Carotenoids are required for plant health due to their ability to absorb destructive free radicals, both from solar damage and from chlorophyll production, whose precursors will damage plant tissue in the absence of the carotenoids. During research we found that test plants turned a deeper green, i.e. produced more chlorophyll, with the addition of our SunBurst Orange light component. This ability to increase a plant's chlorophyll content with this specific light wavelength is an important aspect that will enable the plant to achieve optimal vegetative growth ( your internodes will be much tighter & prevent stretching due to the plants ability to absorb the light it requires and thus doesn't stretch while looking for light that it craves ) this added ability will also increase flowering production.

sounds cool.
I don't know much. but i think plants would do fine if you super charched them with massive light. As long as the temps are chill and they get all the nutes and plenty of co2 and water. In my opinion the added light will just speed photosynthesis and in that case you will have to supercharge all of those other factors. like that old fasion wheel barrel picture in all the plant books... this one would just be real tall. I think you would have a faster and larger yield.
think of one plant growin outside in the sun. that's alot of light. now go six feet up the plant and two feet up the plant. now do that under an LED, HPS or watever... is there a yield difference? i am off topic and rammblin sorry.

i ratter test out my 180w by its self and see the diff. then just add another 180w on my next grow and call it good.

i just ratter sale the 90w and get the money and save up for a while and by another 180w

I know that would be smart to add that light. I was just stating my opinion that too much light is not a bad thing, as long as your other factors are ok. I will post pics soon, and keep an eye on your grow. adding that light is going to be nice :)
your lucky. I wish i had that cash..

3!!!
have you thought of any of the other lights on that sight. I checked it out. It was cool.
that 700 watt one. thats crazy.
you can give me a price...
