led grows

Post by jesus »

Anyone checked them out lately? I have seen some growers using half the usual watts and getting HPS equivalent grows and using HPS equivalent wattage and getting 2+ g/w. No shit.

I have in my possession 12 five watt LEDs in 2 different shades of red and one shade of blue. I might end up with 5 blues to 8 reds just because I can get one more on that power supply. I am still waiting on a few parts but stay tuned bitches.

Notice the single die emitter?

These are all 1000 mA LEDs also. And if anyone cares the chosen wavelengths are 660nm (deep red), 625nm (red), and 460nm (blue).

I will prolly grow out some joey weed c99 and ak-47 under this since I was right about swiss bliss just being a copy of c99 and Prawn never sent the seeds. I went ahead and ordered a better copy of c99 from joeys weed and ak-47 from him too. I also have Jack Herer from original breeder.

This is still only 60w but prepare to be amazed. It should look more like a 120w HPS.

Stay tuned bitches.

Sweet, I’ll tune in.
What’s on the die besides the led, ballest? Do the link/wire together easily, is that why the star shape? I’m shy to ask the cost of those lamps. Closeout discount?

Nice fingerprints yours?

Nothing on the die but the LED. I have one DC power supply for the reds and one for the blues. Thats just how it worked out. I will have to solder wire onto the pads connect it to the LM317 driver and a resistor to regulate the current coming from the psu's. The LEDs were something like $9 each @ Mouser.com.

Ya those are my fingerprints. Do you have the technology?

I've never seen people using 5 watt lights....I have two cheap pannels that use a bunch of 1/2 watt lights and they suck ass even for veg......I have a spot light that has a 3 watt light that works about as good as the ones cops use to light you up.

Getting out of the shower to take a shit is like getting out of your car to order at the drive-thru.

I havent seen a panel that works use anything less than lots of 1w diodes. I have seen five 15w LEDs, 4 red and 1 blue. grow some decent plants. An array of those would be nice but they run about $25 each. Arrays of 100 or so 1w or 3w LEDs have to be moved up a lot to keep from bleaching the leaves. LEDs have grown up a lot. First a small array. Then a bigger, more sophisticated one.

I hope I can still solder. Going to have to practice first I guess.

HID lighting has a decay rate; useful lumens are halfed as distance from the bulb doubles...
i was wonder if LED light had a lower decay rate
