Great Summary and outline of the test run Docbud! Question, the 2 plants that were under the HPS, were they also in 3 gallon pots, or were they transplanted to larger ones?
Amazing job on testing the lights and those plants looked mighty healthy and frosty! Matter of fact I think I can smell it from here! LOL
For years I've been awaiting this tipping point. Hell, it was basic engineering + optical physics so it was more or less inevitable. Looks like we're there. Next time (if there is a next time for you) I would love to see A:B labs as well as your g/W and subjective evaluation. I'd also be totally enamored with objective opinions against the Lush Dominator 2xXL, Advanced DS XML350 & Kind K3 (if we could get them on board as sponsors) against the G8 450.
As always, great work, solid scientific temperament.

Great Product Review! When I first started growing there was a grow shop I went to that sold LED light panels and wanted $1300 for a 200x 1 watt LED panel. I was not convinced the technology was producing anything except comparable to Florescent lighting at the time and did not purchase a LED panel, I have kept monitoring LED grow light advancements until we finally have efficient lighting that can grow plants comparable to High Pressure Sodium equivalency and above. If you were setting up a new grow area would you purchase the Dorm Grow G8 450 LED panel to use as your light source?
Again, great journal. Allegorically speaking, what a difference a day makes.
Speaking of which, the G8-90RR LED All Red UFO. In your small grow (by your definition) were the red attenuators tuned to 730nm to decrease the time needed in darkness or were they set to trigger the Emerson Enhancement Effect via alternating PS1 & PS2's red peak? I couldn't derive the answers from DormGrow's Internet presence.
There are some other considerations that need exploring:
1. How would the light do with a sulphur vape?
2. How well does it hold up to very light overspray from foliar feeding?
I don't mean to bump an older thread to the top but I just ordered these lamps (G8LED 240-watt plus the recommended UFO Red 90-watt) and came across this thread while reading user reviews of these lights.
I have a question about the flip-to-flower process that I hope Doc or another knowledgeable person can answer.
Since these LED lights are full spectrum, there are no switches to set or bulbs to swap out when transitioning from 18-6 to 12-12.
So is the switch to flowering mode nothing more than resetting the timer on your lights (and adding the optional UFO Red 90-watt lamp)?
Thanks in advance.
Doc - I have another question for you I hope you can answer. I've read of folks running into Cal-Mag issues when using LED grow lights due to light spectrum deficiencies and that a Cal-Mag supplement is absolutely essential. These G8LED lamps are supposedly 8-band, full-spectrum growing lights so I'm hoping that means that I shouldn't have the Cal-Mag problems that other early-adopters of LED technology have experienced.
Did you run into any Cal-Mag issues using the G8LED lamp?
