Not hurting much either.

I have explained my cheap, light proof wally world painters plastic before... maybe what I did not emphasize is that although I plan to eventually have white walls for the extra tiny bit it might give I have had my veg room walls black for a long time and I notice no reduction of size or vigor in my babies... do you see a problem with those seedlings?

probably why its a temp space

You are correct sir

 

[jon705]

not to mention with led's the beams are focused down and at either 120,90 or 80 degree angles so unless your room is really tight most of the light isnt hitting the walls so mylar or white walls doesnt really do much.

no problem, don't get me wrong I eventually will most likely have white walls for whatever tiny bit it will add but yes it is not much

For me I started with white walls so don't know 'bout nothin' else. Ya know what's goona be really cool is to see how different LED lights with different powered LEDs perform. I don't know of other companies going to the lengths that Top Led has to showcase their product. That's awesome Sara Reps+ to you

 

[jon705]

white walls make a huge difference with hps lights so its just been common practice for so long that everybody has been doing it but it really doesnt do much with led's

the Durple preams are in there now it was just a last min reporting after I had taken pics, the blue dream stretched so much I had to supercrop the top 2 branches,

 

[Harley001]

Hey Folks

I got the replacement fan today. I am tired and they don't go off till late, I might not get to it today... soon!!

edit -- I got two!!!

Thank you Sara!!!!

 

[Mars Hydro]

Hi Buck, I am very happy that you got it soon. hope everything is fine now.

Sounds like Top LED is on their game good to know , OG.

Fan replacement. Not too bad, really a two person job, I did most of it myself as my helper has the attention span of a gnat

panel open ... each connector was zip tied together

This looks intimidating but I was able to leave the cables zipped and just remove the fan by cutting the wire on the old fan

The chassis has posts to fit the fan on this made alignment easy

took about 15 minutes

PS

The same fans were sent

So, looks like these are the real deal. Ladies are looking happy and healthy guys (looking forward to Jon's input once his arrive too, be sure). Based on your collective experiences so far, please try to answer these questions for me.

I've got a cabinet with inside floor size of 2.5' x 3.5' and wanted to use LED's, so what would you guys suggest (wattage, quantity, etc)? Obviously, being able to use the same light for veg and flower would be most economical, but economy is not the overriding determining factor...results are. Would 2 lights with different lamp mix (1 for veg, 1 for flower) be better?

I was also looking at the Area-51 led because of excellent reviews and it's listed coverage area is almost exactly the area I have available. What are the recommended coverage areas for these TOP led's?

I've read myriad threads on myriad sites and have had some difficulty gleaning tangible data from some. Any help offered is appreciated.

Thanks guys. Keep up the good work. It's fun to stop by every few days and check the progress. I get the notifications regularly, but try to wait and get caught up every few days.


EDIT * - Not able to send pm's due to post count, but ...

Thanks Jon. I really like the looks of them and your results are no joke (though i realize lighting is only one aspect of a good grow). I bookmarked the A51 site and have been checking daily as it says they are out of stock and will be restocking between 8/2 and 8/9 but nothing yet ( Just checked again and they are in stock!!). Also looking at the California lightworks solar storm 400w as an option. It's between these three - TOPled (80x5w?), A51 - SGS160, Cali LW SS 400w.

Hi Chz,

please check BID's grow journal. it is 80x5w grow. I believe it can help you make decision. we also have lights stock in USA. and yes, 80x5w is ok for your grow area. Any questions you have on our light, please feel free to ask me, I will answer you ASAP.
