    Just my 2c:

    Notice that the 220W light only has 416 LM301B diodes, and that the XLG-240 driver is only 91% efficient, and that aluminium plate is not a particularly good heatsink. According to the specs, it's only 200W at 230VAC, though I presume that's a misprint. XLG-240 should handle 220W.

     

    The Xlg is actually 93% and u can push it to 280w in a flash. The driver cuts off at 300w,  Well that’s the XLG 240 driver we use anyway that’s from meanwell. I dunno why some specs are now underrated on some of the lights.

    I have 2 Modugrow and they are great lights and the after service is great (I had one of my lights partially fail and they sent me a replacement within a day no questions asked) but I do agree they are expensive for the wattage and what else is available. 

    Have a look at PhoenixSky from @Master_G they have some affordable good quality lights as well. 

    Yip - I can definitely assist :)

  4. Ok. I wave read the thread, the flood light 150w will veg your area okish. It’s not the same as a real grown llight. 2-3k is about as little as u will need for something decent to get some bud. Remember after 3 months of growing, u want to have at least a bit of bud to carry you through.

     

    have a chat to me. Let’s see how we can help u get there

    Morning, thanks so much. I'll check both of them out

    Please don’t buy that Chinese cob thing. You would have thrown money in the water. I can supply you with something better for very little more.

    I think you all should go light up and give yourself a pat on the back.
    I have learnt FCUK tons on lighting over the last few days.
    On my drive back into the wilderness today I decided I'm going diy with growopz seeing that I have already started chatting with him. If my budget stock is not available, well then save and wait and upgrade that way.
    Give me time to figure out how to start a thread and I'll let you in on my crazy but determined journey to here.
    Thanks everyone, I'll figure out how to @ a person.

    No. It's some dude that orders from overseas somewhere and mail's to you. Don't think I need a middleman to do that thanks.
    I'd rather buy 2nd hand of the forum than part with cash and possibly not get what's advertised.

    @Bakstein420 Thanks man, got worried that two seeds failed but guess third time lucky.

    to this very day i absolutely stress about seeds and seedlings. they will sprout on a rock outside but inside they will die for the slightest anything. does my head in. thats why i have clones clones clones

    How did you find the smoke this way, and would you do it again or dont prefer it?

    I grow Coco/hydro only. I dont understand soil and all the natural stuff . i am however a bit of a Judas and when i saw the Just-cannabis claim to "no nutes needed just water" i was like Fuck no way. gada check it out. 

    So R170 for a.bag of soil and a Lsp clone later boom. I'm impressed. will I do it again. more than likely not but not because it disnt come out nice cause it did. just not me

  11. so i removed the 320 and had to pull all my plants together. Its a bit of a shit show atm. i found the problem i guess. a faulty multi plug with a power surge effort that went haywire intermittendly and has basiclly fcked my entire grow. ok not entire. but many of my plants have seeded here and there

    2 x LSP Hermiea.Those ladies are outside now. (its not that bad but its still seeded and a massive loss to a gorgeous plant)

    1 x slurrijug still inside the tent as its almost finished. guess i will have to pick out some seeds this time.before smoking lol.

    I have moved all plants next to each other under 480w if 300ok leds. i split my one light up for coverage over the entire 1.2 x 1.2m area the plants now occupy. Various plants are at different stages of flowering. they all mobile so I can shift them without too much hassle. 

    i think ill just finish this grow off before i start anything new. those seeds need to.hang on and wait. the bud bud bling tingz and tropicanna rose is massive so im unsure what i should do with it...

    anyway. so below we have the current all squashed up together but i have a lot.of fans on them

  12. Thanks all. 

    i ran into major issues last night which turned out to be my 320w. it seems to be overloading my power somehow and then yeah all hell breaks loose and my lighting schedule has been interrupted for 3 days now. i didnt know because the tripping of the light happens irregularly. and disables my wifi timer whcih doesnt automatically switch on.

    this now means that i need to remove some lights. (i suspect im pulling more amps than my line is allowing me to)

    So whats the future of my pretty buds looking like? probably goung to get hermies. so ill be picking seeds out of something i guess.

    install a power regulator so that when shit kicks in it doesnt overload the powerline.

    remove some light. i mean who needs to grow under 1040w.  im sure i can have a nice grow under 720w aswell.

    i will be rebuilding my grow room soon

    some pics of what i think im.about to loose to hermies20200608_201718.thumb.jpg.b7d9d68eb3d2fa69ecd5af1fa2022a23.jpg20200608_201626.thumb.jpg.f486f75d2b6ab993cc26757173340247.jpg

  13. the Just Cannabis Soil stated that you can grow in this soil with only Water no nutes needed.

    i am of the Judas type that doesnt believe shit people say even if its "proven" so i bought a bag and stuck a lumpy space princess clone into it. stuck it outside in less than favourable conditions. watered it with Tap water only.

     

    below is the result of Just Cannabis soil woth 0 molasses added. microbes and no ph of 7.8 tap water. (of course it got some rain water too. i also if i saw a bucket of water that filled due to rain would chuck that over it too)20200526_111954.thumb.jpg.e720872b9c97c97ad0dafa9e400b49f0.jpg

  14. So seeing that i deleted all my posts as it had added 0 value to the site, i decided to do a new diary woth more useless information that will be of no use to any of you.

    Strain Names :

    Bud Bud Bling Tingz - Dr Krippling

    Tropicanna Rose - Worlds strongest strains

    Slurrijug - (no clue if it is oni maybe)

    Citradellic Sunset - Ethos Genetics

    Lumpy Space Princess - Solfire Gardens

    Mc Slurry - Worlds strongest strains

    Triple scoop - DNA Genetics

    I have popped the Tropicanna rose and the bud bud bling tings. and i am running a test. (non scientific and totally dumb move but i have enough tents and lights to mesa around with)

    so the Vegging Cycle is

    12 on 5.5 off 1 on. 5.5 off.

    the flowering schedule will start at 11on 13 off and will drop weekly by 30mins till i get to 8on 16 off.

    i am vegging under a 240w unidentified light manufactured on the moon. (dont ask) @ 3000k because i wanna veg under 3000k. no reds as its not really needed under the light. 

    for flowering i will be scrogging all the plants however im wating for my current flowering tent to finish. 

    i will be replacing my Samsung 320w and 240w with more unidentified Led grow lights. i have been testing the lights over the last grow and i am very happy with the results i get from this.

     

    below is a Bud that has 4 weeks left till completion under this alien light.20200616_195637.thumb.jpg.20668e6bd6dc8abf362be6c8da5fd9f1.jpg

    So lets see how my little project go. i got 1.3 grams per watt on my previous scrog grow under 240w. so the idea is to see if i can get more than 1.3g using this unidentified light and my the 12:1 growing style.

     

    ok let the Slaughter begin.

  15. Sometimes after you have been given the goods you still need to decide what you're going to do. Nobody can make you decide. if you're deciding to grow bud with a pic of a dank frosty nug in your head and then you look at a 1400 bucks blurple from takealot. At that moment you need to buy that light, Grow weed, see what you get and pay your school fees.

    You have been getting feedback and suggestions from master growers and breeders. 

    I can offer you a light that will give you the result you have in your head, but not at the price your displaying interest in. 

    The next step is up to you @adre.

  16. Hey man.

     

    So there will be a lot of sold out issues due to the fact that the boards are all imports and this isn’t happening at the moment. Don’t fear because all is not lost. I have heard a little bird singing and apparently there’s a company making quantum boards locally.

    Also remember the pricing you see now and the pricing with the Rand dollar exchange rate change will be different. So expect  things to grow In price.

    if you’re keen to check find out more about this, feel free to drop me a line. The company will launch soon but I’m sure we can waggle a pre launch del out there somewhere.

    I am sure we are also able to work with your price-point as we have gone a custom route where each client will be dealt with on personal need.

    Feel free to contact me if you want to know more. 
     

    fyi. All warranties are local so there’s no shipping back to China if something goes wrong or any delay as we literally place the leds ourselves etc.

    From Prom's light link

     

    "TS 3000 QB Design Led Plant Grow Light for 4'x4', Sunlike Spectrum with IR, Replace 800~1000w HPS - Mars Hydro" 

     

    The reasonable yield standard has always been around 1g/W for Hid. Mars claim of equivalence to 1000W seems credible and if so, so does Prom's ~1kg yield. 

    I've got a 250W Hid grow on the go, I'd be really happy with 250g, ecstatic with 300g.

    Ok. 

    I dont buy into the marketing crap.

    To me 200w is 200w. I dont care what you attach to the end of your cord. That's your business. This equivalent shit makes the HID crowd pissed off anyway. I grow bud. Get a messily 1.3g per wat under led. Obviously I'm just a noob cause others get over 2 grams per watt. But that's that. If I got another light and it gave me less for the same usage. I would just go back to the one giving more. 

     

  18. 4 hours ago, zairek said:

    Wow, means that your light is roughly equivalent to 1000W Hid at 1g/Watt Well done mate. 

    That is the strangest equation I have ever heard. I am learning so much today

  19. Wow... I need to learn here.

     

    You grew. 976grams of dry bud in 1 square meter under 450w of led light? That is better than anything I have ever seen in my life! Well done mate. 

    After this I give up. No point in growing no more. After years of growing I'm a noob
