Indoor 1000 watt led 3 strain grow first timer

[tripaholic88]

I don't know how this company can state this is a 1000w LED, The true Draw is 220w.

Wouldn't that make this a 300w LED... My 550 are 550 watt. But 400Watt True draw. what am I missing here???

what they do is add up the amount of diodes and since they are "10W" chips/diodes they multiply the 100 diodes by 10 to get 1000 but yes they dont actually draw that much

Well that's all I have and can't afford a change right now pretty sure I have the capsules laying around somewhere I'll look and test the dirt but I'm scared now just couldn't afford ff so I got the most organic I could without fertz

You don't really want Fox Farm any way it could be just about as hard to deal with as if your pH is off with this mix. You will know either way within a week whether those seedlings like that mix.

I think they may actually be doing some fuzzy logic with their math. If you look close there using 2 5 watt chips under one lens and calling at 10 watts. But, they only have 50 pair of those chips. So it's more like a 500 watt draw with an efficiency of less than 50%. Which really is in line with Chinese 5 watt lights.

Is it good enough to grow 4 plants Is all I need to know lol

 

[jingo]

It probably has an effective footprint of about 3 ish sq feet. So no it won't grow four plants to potential. It would probably do a decent job on one mid sized auto.

However, what you grow yourself under led is usually superior to street level stuff. So smoke all your loose and larfy bud first and save the solid nugs for last or special occasions and you'll be happy.

Looks good man. I agree with jingo about the light. I'm using a 900w mars and I have to keep turning my plants to get good coverage.

I have a 400 watt hps and the led is defiantly brighter but we'll see

That's good by the time you get the flower you're going to want all the lights you can get that's what really fatten up your buds.

Is the one LED that's "blown" an infrared diode by any chance? I thought there was 2 blown on my mars lately until i bought a second light and realised they never lit up in the first place
