Haight Solid State vs. H.G.LED

Re: Hosted Competition - Haight Solid State vs. Hydro Grow LED

Thank you SS - using cal-mag suppliment in the flush is a brilliant idea. Liquid seaweed, hmmm, we shall see!

And BTW, I didn't imagine the cabinet grow to be a side-by-side test with the LED tents - just an interesting sideshow. Any comparisons would be invalid even though I think most of us would be tempted to draw at least a few hypothetical conclusions I do hope you'll give us a peek in the cabinet from time to time.

Re: Hosted Competition - Haight Solid State vs. Hydro Grow LED

cool bro i will be checkin it
BUT there are a few variables that can drastically effect the whole test, 1 is seed starting i have never had seeds sprout exactly the same time ( i think the mother comment above would be more accurate finding twin cuttings i would think more exact , and an over all grow of the good and bad would paint a much clearer picture of the effectiveness of the fixtures used

I agree that ideally it would be better to have clones from the same mother, but that option just wasn't available to me. I'm glad that we will be able to compare 4 plants, which should provide a general sense of how each light performs.

thanks bro!

I know they are 2 gal square pots but could you provide dimensions. Thanks

They are 7.6 x 7.6 x 9.7 inches and 1.7 gallons to be exact.

thanks kevin!

Great start SS, best of luck. 10 out of 10 that just wonderful bro. I also like ur cab that's pretty sweet as well. I cant wait to watch this grow and see the results for myself. Dude I love 420. So much good information out there. I got to give ya 5 stars

thanks for the kind words brother!

I love this community too .

I'd use that for a couple of moms??

The thought has crossed my mind

Very interesting grow SS. Great looking setup, well equipped grows. I like it. sitting in.

reps and ratings earned, you give good detailed info.
guess I've got to spread the love first.

thank you Mmmmick, I've learned a lot from reading your posts. Glad you're gonna follow and looking forward to your observations and comments!

yeah, the liquid seaweed, it's just that when I see something on the nute list of enough nice grows, it makes me curious .

not sure what's gonna be disclosed as far as the cab grow as it's not just my call, but I would hope there would be some options.

things seem to be going OK, but I have developed an irresistable urge to burn patchouli incense and hang Hendrix posters

maybe a curtain of beads

I do like working around these lights except when it comes to taking pics.

Re: Hosted Competition - Haight Solid State vs. Hydro Grow LED

I contacted Haight Solid State in regards to their recommendation for distance from young seedlings and they recommend 12".

In accordance, I have dropped the HSS light down from 16" to 12". The HGL light continues at 12".

The seedlings do not appear to be stretching or getting burned at these distances.

An observation on the HydroGrowLED light:

the cooling fans provide a significant amount of circulation in my tent. Nothing that would strenghthen your plant's stems because they blow upwards, but they do add significant general circulation.

After having lived with these lights for a couple weeks or so, I can say that neither of them are a problem for me as far as noise is concerned, and I'm a picky mofo about noise.

The HSS tent is running about 3 degrees hotter than the HGL tent, which I think is probably due to the 180w versus 126w.

Cammie (HGL Rep) asked that we set their light to 6"

Can do, but I think that may reduce the focus down to where the outside pots might not get enough light.

I think that planting the seeds a bit off-center in the pots would have helped keep the seedlings closer together, but I didn't want to introduce that variable in this grow.

I'll lower it to 6" tonight and post a pic.

thanks for relaying the request Soniq!

Re: Hosted Competition - Haight Solid State vs. Hydro Grow LED

OK, per HGL's request, I just lowered their light to 6".

The coverage is still fine at that height, with all of the seedlings getting plenty of light.

I might be able to take some more pics tonight after Mrs. Sun has retired for the evening .

I'm surprised 6" doesn't fry them... or at least stunt them. Can't wait to see how the veg progresses!

Re: Hosted Competition - Haight Solid State vs. Hydro Grow LED

SS - you vegging 4 weeks or at a certain height?

I know.

It goes against all my instincts to place a light that is claimed to be powerful enough to produce nice buds, so close to little baby seedlings.

But, this isn't about my instincts or how I use to do things.

On the other hand, ima go check the babies .

The weakest plant in each tent will be culled at 3 weeks veg. Maybe see how big they are at 3 weeks and take it from there?


Don't want to flip them if they're too small, but it would be better for the LED's if they stay short and bushy.

thanks Scooby!
