660W LED 4x4 (DIY 6-CXA & A51 XGS-190, RW-150)

I stay around 20". Here is the 4x4 footprint readings for the RW 150s.

Oh and if you're referring to that club above it was just shy of 4oz. Around 3.8oz

 

Nope. And pretty sure if you asked any of the guys on here using them most would probably say 5 years ago they would probably laugh at the thought. Hell 1-2 years ago. I wouldn't. Think we'd be making our own lights as well. I've learned a lot through making the LED switch. Just getting better from here on out. Funny went to whataburger last night. It's a new location, and noticed all the exterior lighting on the building and parking lot are LED instead of HID. Kinda made me smile and laugh a little. Because it's like we went from one street lamp/high bay type to another.

 

+4 days And yes the fans are spinning.

 

Have you upped your cal mag supplementation however you may do that? Seems more micro nutrients help as well. You have to feed heavier but water less unless you're very aerated. Keep temps higher too. Honestly I feel like 80 is a good target. I run 80-84* in the tent to help aid in transpirtation. 70-75 is too cold. If my temps drop to 77 I decrease the exhaust fan to raise temps back up to 80. Also, leds vary greatly between manufacturer. A51and onyx pretty much on top. Though they still aren't the most efficient and a good reason why the diy stuff can and does perform better. It's like buying a 700HP supercar when you could build a 1000HP car for much less and still for the purpose in the end get more. There is another small time company called optic that making premade COB fixtures but again for the same price you could do better, they drive the lights too hard. That's the curse this far with manufactured panels. Cost. So they drive harder to get out put and ? Reduce overhead where as if you made your own you could gain efficiency if you choose by using more diodes and less driving current, could even get better cooling capacity, sure at a cost but you end up with greater photon flux per watt which is all that really matters.

 

Couple pics from last night. Thought I posted them here but apparently only on RIU.

 

Finally getting around to throwing these up. I had just cut down 3 plants on Thursday. I had chopped two Chunk diesels about 20 days ago. So Thursday took down 1 of each, Jamaican D, Sour D, and galaxy. Were transplanted from solo cups and put in the flower space on the 4rd of April, so that makes a 53-54 day cycle for them. First pic is one I had already posted on 4-15 when they were on day 11, ones up front. Bottles in pics are knob creek 750mL and a liter sized bottle.

 

Kept meaning to post up the pics of pixie dust. Cut it down 5-31. Weighted it and got some other yield pics from the 3 others. So the bowl weighs 100g so really I dont even mess with tareing the scale out. So we have 52g for galaxy, 49g Sour Diesel, 59g Jamaican D, and 40g pixie dust. So 200g total or 7.14oz or a 1.79oz/plant avg for those 4. I've got more about to come out and put 6 more in to start. Not too shabby for 16-20 plant rotations under less than 700W and no bloom boosters or CO2 supplementation. These were just cana coco A&B, hydrogen peroxide, and Cal mag.

 

Thanks. The pixie was a single bag seed. Supposedly some granddaddy purple or a cross if it. No clue. Got it from a buddy out here before I had this setup going. Kinda similar to how the old purple swamp monster came to be. So since can't confirm what it was just made up a name. Well my son's mother did. LOL This one isn't a big yielder. But smells like blueberries and skittles. More berry-ish after cure. Turns purple no matter what but during winter and colder nights it turns even more dark. It does throw a couple nanners but never had a seed. Think it's sterile. First cycle I didn't even notice until after harvest. Found no seeds so kept it going. Have grown the clones for around a year and same story.

 

So weighed out another 2oz of galaxy today. Have probably somewhere around 1-1/2oz or so of tangerine dream hanging. Couple of bud size comparison picks with some of the about to harvest plants. Sweet tooth is all nice and sparkly, though so is the chunky after the dry.

 

Has been awhile. So figured post a couple pics. Shatter clumped up and love the enail. These in the flower tent are ranging from 1-7 weeks. That's a 1QT H202 bottle for size comparison. Clones about 10-12 days from transplant.

 

Those are some nice chunky Bud skunky. :good job: :redbong:

 

Thank ya guys! I'm going to guess by terminology that was you Duc that gave the rep. :kidding::not-worthy: Just changed something on the camera not sure how that's going to work with internal posts. So let's see! Just cut down another 6. Finishing trimming up a chunky diesel also. Then the room as she stands. Need to take clones tonight or tomorrow too and get some clones transplanted to the fabric pots so i can file more in here in a few days.

 

Nice work!
