Nice wrap up and summary. Thanks for coming back to do that, and posting those final pix documenting the lifespan. Great job all around, and I learned quite a bit from your journal, so thank you. Good luck on the new grow, and I look forward to that journal,
Take care,
Stimpy

Thanks for the journal and the nice write up . Definitely learned somethings.it is always awesome when someone shares their grow experience!

 

[thx 1138]

thanks for mentioning the problems, most people don't and thats where the best help comes from IMO

Would you say the 450W LED is a worthy replacement/upgrade for the 400 hid? Are you sticking with led?

 

[Buster Cherry]

Thanks for the update. Even with the issues you mentioned, it's nice to see that you were still able to pull a decent harvest.

 

[silverspy]

appreciate your time to document everything. look forward to your future journals!

I too have to mirror your summery, DGG. I didn't have any lens problems, but didn't use the carabiners that came with them. Service and shipping - Outstanding. While I will just be flipping this weekend, the lights have never been a problem. Low heat / constant heat is easy to dial in when setting up ventilation needs.
This has been a great trip, DGG, thanks for all the learning I did.

I just can't leave without saying it. If / when I replace the 300w and 150w, I would rather use 3 or 4 150s than a 450. I think the blending of the spectrums and the more even a footprint you can make will make for more even growth. In my case the plants are in a fixed position, so rotating pots isn't possible.
Just my 2 cents worth. Love the lights - consider your layout carefully before you buy any lights.
Humbly, Andy.

Depends on the area that has to be covered.
I agree that more little lights are always better than 1 big.
But the 150 is quite expensive I will order one with just veg specs in 2 weeks and a 2. 450 in 2 month.
I did not have any lose lenses as well and was delivered in 6 days to Europe.

I too purchased a 300w led a couple months ago.
Have not got a chance to use it yet. I was impressed with the light output, but was concerned about the loose lenses (they rattled like a can full of marbles when tipped side to side).

 

[TonySmile]

Truly a professional grow journal. It's an extra effort to document and post the info you attain by growing. So thank you and this next light up is a toast.

 

[DarkGreenGoo]

Once again, thanks everyone for all the nice words. I had lots of fun updating the journal, and can't wait to begin my new one.

Tonight or tomorrow I should be starting the post for my next Journal. It will be following my grow of Northern Light Blue (by Declicious Seeds), in Coco under the P450. I will be mainlinging the plants. If you don't know what that is just google it. It's an extreme LST/topping method of training that turns the bottom of the plant into a manifold. Producing shorter trees, with bush's of cola's, and no other branching. Due to the way it is topped and LST'd, all cola's end up the same size, same height.

I just did the first top and LST, so that is where the journal will begin. The plants have already been growing for about a month.

 

[NorCalNuggets]

Northern light blue I was just thinking about coping some of those seeds!

 

[silverspy]

excited to see your mainlining!

 

[McCdive]

Guess I can't sub up yet. lol. Tried. I wanna watch this grow!

 

[Kalimaki420]

Sounds interesting count me in.

Excellent Grow, I too am having excellent results from two 300w leds. I have found that if you start the plants or seeds under the LED from the beginning you dont get the leaf droop. If you veg a while under HID then move to LED you can get the droop, in which case raise the light way up for a few days then you can lower it back down.
I have also noticed with LED that the plants can sit there and not do much for a week or two then once the root system catches up you get an explosion of growth.
I would say your grow was mission complete.
