Auto Topping LED Grow

It's a shitty diagram but you see the point I'm sure... I can't (as you know) discuss the brand or setup of the LED panels but the center was higher power like the 900 you ordered and the 2 on the edge angled slightly in

Atrain ha nice diagram mate good info . decisions decisions mmmmm ha ha i have a week to decide as wont be deliverd until then

Hiya mate...

Going for it on the LED's now aint ya ??... Sounds like your hooked already.


I think the total wattage is a bit off tho mate. Need to move the decimal point across a place

Have u waked n baked some of that ultimate dude ??..... Only joking fella....

Cant wait to see the new, new set up....

 

[Budworshipper]

I have been wondering if you can run leds at an angle, other than horizontal... Just wondered if the angle would cause extra wear on the fans, not being flat n all...

Just trying to work out things in my head prior to upgrading....

 

[Atrain]

Led can be hung anyway you want .... that's one of the many benifits to having 3 or 4 in a tent instead of one big ass hood with duct work

 

[thebeast27]

Budworshipper ha ha thanks mate and yea they seem good value for money.i want near as much power with led as a 600 hps.i want my girls to have monster buds

 

[thebeast27]

True i see many growers with there led,s with the lean on .leds dont seem to mind it .

 

[Blazingbuds]

Ive seen plenty of leaning LED's on here. However, I've read that It can be a fire hazard to hang on an angle. This could merely be a marketing ploy for upgrading to the next gen of LED's. Just my 2 cents.

Stopped in my local supplier, who didn't believe in LEDs six months ago. Fully stocked with Kind K5s for $1900, Advanced Platinum P1200, and even a Heliospectra LX601...for over 2K !

I figure 10 more years and I'll swap over.

 

[thebeast27]

Thanks kushtie and rifle just go with a more realistic affordable spec led for now dont think ul be disapointed

 

[Rifleman]

I'm in no hurry Beast. My 1K ballast and hid bulbs work fine for now.

 

[shaun6868]

Great update Beast, those babies are growing real quick...

 

[thebeast27]

Thanks shaun mate they seem very happy

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Nice how to pictures Beast! You did great with that topping.

Yes, they are growing leaps and bounds.
I am anxiously waiting to see how long it takes them to shoot out new tops.

I checked on the Lil' Purp today, I waited two days to look (watched plant never grows. LOL), she's going to be fine. Her second set of leaves are growing out now.
Yey! I'll post a pic this weekend sometime.
