Re: Suggestions for a LED setup

Well I got my lights today Posted some pic's for you to have a look see.
Just a heads up, I have had them on for about 6 hours non stop and there is no heat, I have not even had my exhaust fan on for the majority of that time since I didn't have the plants in there until just a short time ago. My temps have not moved. It is not even warm to the touch, the unit itself not under the lights I mean.
The gs600 Pro-bloom is quite heavy I was taken back by it. I know I do not feel comfortable with attaching them to those skinny poles on the secret jardin tents. Sure it is a 5 X 10 but they sure do not hold upto 150 LBS a side like they claim. Oh well will just take a few extra hours of work to make things solid and bloom room will be up and running.
The gs300's had no issue in the 4 X 8 secret jardin tent.
Really a very solid unit, looks sleek and cool. I am really excited to see how it works out now
You will have a better understanding once I have some bloom results since I am in a 5 X 10 bloom (50 sft) and only running around 1650 watts, that would make me roughly 33 watts/sft.
I double checked the information again today, I found out that I was incorrect It was only 1 light and apparently it was a total of 3/4 LBS. Was Mag not the +. I am not saying that I believe it either, however the source it is comming from is well respected and reliable where I am from. So hey it could be possible.
Depending on how things go once this batch is done I might change things up and see for myself. However it will do nothing to increase the amount of cycles I can get in a year, so really it depends on the yield.
