They'er small because you're uploading thumbnails.

Ok. The numbers are now in. I produced 12oz of very nice bud which tastes sweet and is very potent. When I was growing with HID I averaged around 16oz per crop so I guess you could say I'm 4oz below average. All and all I'm happy with the results and will continue to tweek things in hopes of getting my numbers up. I'm signing off for now. good luck everyone!

Start a new journal and we'll try to help you get your numbers up next time!
So, 1400w LED? Is that LED watts or actual draw? Please refresh my memory, how many of which lights are you using?

For this crop I used one (400w) solarstorm along with one (600w) G8 LED from dormagrow and one (200w) Apollo 6 from cosmicgrowth which adds up to 1200 LED watts. I'm not sure where I cam up with the 1400 watts! I really need to work on my math! Anyway, I'm not sure what the true total draw would be in actual watts. I have added a new 200cfm fresh air intake fan and replaced my solarstorm with an Apollo 12 from cosmic growth. In my opinion the solarstorm worked well but simply ran too hot.
They need to come up with a system to capture and remove the heat that the light generates. I hope this info helps. Cheers!

SS400w = 310w actual draw in flower mode (not including the 30w UVB)
G8 600w = 420W actual draw
Apollo 6 = 200w actual draw
Total 930w actual draw
12oz = 360 grams or .38g/w
Unfortunately we can't know which light produced how much because they're all mixed so this wasn't a very good GFP journal. CLW GFP is supposed to document the results of that light not a combo of 3 lights. If you do start a new journal, please put it in the Grow Journal section (not the CLW section) and we'll still try to help you get your numbers up.
FYI:
Last I heard, CLW is working on an aircooling add-on option for the SS series.
