500 Watt LED Grow

[jscruggs420]

Starting this log today about my 500 watt led grow using (1) 300 watt led ,(2) 120 watt led, I put it at around 500 watt led total. Sorry video is not from the start but I didnt think about it. These are God Bud clones that are about 3 weeks into veg. it takes these a little longer to get going. These have minimal growth after putting into flowering so I'm letting them go for a while. I'm growing in a 4x2 ebb and flow tray with 25 gallon res. using GH nutes. I have been super cropping these since they were tiny . I will be starting up a 2400 watt hps grow and using (4) 300 watt Induction lights on the sides to see whats happens. I dont know if all this will work or not, I've vegged under leds and induction with great results but I have never flowered under them. I bought these myself and I have no connections to any companies. I'll post every week and update with video and pics. Please ask any questions. Thank you

Subscribed. That's one rocking setup you have going there. Any chance we can get you to post the specs for each light? Make/model, watts, spectrum output (if known), anything else that is relevant?

I love how this place is becoming a haven for LED growers. Mods - here is yet another one. Can we have our own subgroup now? Perhaps under Indoor Growing > Lighting > LED??

the specs as follows, the 300 watt was custom made in china, it has 288 1 watt leds in red 660nm and blue 460nm in a 7:1 ratio , I had 3 of these made, the 120 watts are 112 1 watt leds , red 630nm, blue 460nm and orange 615nm.
This setup is using the 2 120 watts and 1 300 watt, a friend is using the other 2 300 watt leds. I should have completed pics of his soon. I just got tired of hearing all the talk about them and not knowing so i took the plunge and spent a hell of a lot of money. I also bought 4 300 watt magnetic induction lights to try out, they have only been used to veg with. I'll know soon if they help or work for flowering.I'm trying to buy a 450 watt led grow light that uses 3 watt chips instead of 1 watt, putting in my wavelengths makes them pricey . Hope this helps explain the setup. I'll take pics of the new build coming up and progress along the way on both.

why buy a 450w unit when 3 150w units is better for spreading the light...have you checked out my lights? 3w LED's :jointsmile:

if the 450w light costs more than $1350 holler at me :smokin:

[jscruggs420]

I can get those light for $600 shipped, cant beat that I suppose.

$600 for 450w of 3w diodes?

[jscruggs420]

yep, not a bad deal, I've been working with a couple China corps. that make them to my specs.get a better deal if I order more than 5, but oh well

[stra8outtaWeed]

no..not a bad deal if they perform....i'll be watching your flower :thumbsup:

[jscruggs420]

Thanks, I'll keep this up to date. Nice grow you have also, I look forward to talking with you:jointsmile:
