Apologies for such a late response. I've had to do some traveling and expo-speeches.

Yes, many over-complicate their hydro growing.

The 3w diodes, if not single-chip, tend to be less efficient than 1w didoes with a closer spacing. Added resistance pushing the power to three diodes instead of one causes a loss in efficiency and adds heat.

And I'm pretty spot-on with most of my weight guesses. Thank you for the compliment.
khyberkitsune Reviewed by khyberkitsune on . My LED grow > 1g/w? Juts harvested my third grow. One plant. No official weight yet, but with the main cola the length of a champagne bottle and about half as thick, the secondary cola about 2/3rds the size and 15 smaller colas about 1/8th the size, I am going to guess 5 ounces - dry. Used a 120w tri-band (no name E-Bay fixture) LED with 1w bulbs; red, orange, and blue - 6/1/1. How did I do it (if indeed I have)? 1. Genetics: Big Bud * Northern Lights 2. Scrog (first time) 3.
