Re: SteveHman's Advanced LED, 1,000 watt/BP Nutrients, going for max yield grow-Grow subbed for sure! make the LED croud proud....again :P

looking good rat, I understand you were in a rush, just wondering if you believe the "core coverage" is really 4x2.5 or more like 4x2? my space is 5 x 4 so the difference is big to me :p

Thanks to both of you. Bassman although those lights are appealing, I'm tring to see what I can do with under 1000 watts. I'm all for advances in technology and would love to see how 800 watts of LED, compares to the 1500 watts of bulb, ballast and ventilation of an HID setup. I'm sure I will...

Althought the 4 DS200's would have "too much" core coverage I would save power with 2 DS400's and have perfect Core coverage Ratattooey, please let me know how those 400's work out for you Bassman, you seem to lean way from 4 DS200's in your first post and towards them in your second, and in...

Hey guys just another thought, how do you think 2 DS400's would cover a 4x5 as compared to 4 DS200's? Can you rely on their coverage claims when they say the DS400's will sufficiently light 4 feet in length?

Great info, but I was sold as soon as you said its for sure possible, but you have always had limiting factors such as veg time, I understand you cannot grow more than what will fit in any given groW space, thanks for the info, 420 mag seems to have the most members knowledgable with info on LED...

Ok I'm loving the idea of the third off effect, but steveHman you said you are still chasing the 1g/watt. With 4 ds200 thats approx. 800 watts. If I'm getting about 1g/watt with my current HID setup, would that mean my yield may go down if I make the switch to LED? Or is you ratio based on the...

yes that was my mistake, i was looking at the specs for the 100 not the 200, so now that were on the same page, would 4 ds100's be adequate for a 4x4 or a 5x4? now that seems a little skimpy, but is still within their "core coverage" claims

thanks for the quick reply, and i agree multiple 200's would be best for me. lets say got 4 ds200's(92W actual draw each), and used them to cover a 4x5 area(20 sq ft) thats a pathetic 18.4 w/f but the ds 800(710 actual draw) has a core coverage of 3.5 x 4.5 (15.75) = a much more impressive 45...

Hey 420 mag, long time lurker, new member, first post. been reading this forum for years, and steveHman, other members, and the internet in general has gotten me interested in LED's Of course before i make an expensive purchase, i want to know my shit lol. I want to say SteveHman ive been...
