Lighting My Platinum LED Experience With the P-300 & P-450's

[HemiSync]

Hi serenity a quick query how high up is your p450 i 've had bleaching on a couple off leafs my own fault way to close 12" ...& what size of room are you using with it ?

I run two P300s in a 3x3x6 tent and they are started at 30 inches away from my seedlings and are never lowered. The plants just start to grow up to them. I have bleached out an entire plant trying to get too close.

... SA, when both leaves and calyxes are totally devoid of any pigment, that is textbook bleaching, whatever somebody else calls it... the threshold can be very slim between good and bad tissues, largely because the older tissues have had a chance to form up the chlorophyll pigments and then protect them some with other auxillary pigments (reds/purp's), which can be masked and not show the usual way,... the curled edges, uneven pale color and distorted growth are also signs of light stress, too intense,.. naturally, it follows that the stronger LED's will cause this when tops are too close,...

At 30 inches to start I never see any seedling stretch, which suits me just fine. Eventually I end up moving the LEDs up but never down.

When I decided on going with LED lighting I did a lot of research because I wanted the best LED light which would put out what was promised. I had more questions then I did answers at the start and I was calling every company that caught my eye and looking for answers and facts, and was digging into what they claimed on the phone to see if it was true. When I dealt with Mark, at Platinum LED I was happy to get my questions answered clearly with facts and to have things explained to me; not a salesman trying to sell me something with fancy words. When I turned to YouTube to research companies and lights by customer reviews and tests again I found Platinum LED was really stacking up to their claims.

I did end up deciding on a P-300 which took me from small plants all the way through veg and as I got near flowering, I was looking to buy a 2nd P-300 and instead Mark helped me realize the potential of going to the P-450 instead of just using two P-300's. In the end I did run the P-300 & the P-450 together and the biggest issue I was was trying to untangle things later on because it just became a huge vine wrapped jungle of layer after layer deep from the tops to the bases. In the end I was so impressed I have upgraded to two P-450's and I've never been happier with the results.

There is a lot of LED companies out there, but I've never been happier or more taken care of as a customer than I have been with Platinum LED and I've seen the results of my P-450 compared to another top brand LED light of another person and even he admitted there was no difference in the results, but he seriously paid way more for his light. What impressed me the most is that he even said next time he will buy Platinum LED as he felt I had the better light. For me one of the best things is you call and you always deal with Mark, and nobody else, he takes care of everything, no excuses... that man is always on top of it and ready to take care of you the customer to ensure your happiness and success.

I say all of these things about Platinum LED because they are 100% true and that has honestly impressed me in today's world; where customers are just a number connected to any call center that is willing to do the job the cheapest possible and you get the Que card answers and the hollow apology if something isn't right with a product. Sadly I've gotten in trouble to saying these things in other places (NOT HERE) when someone asks about what people think of this brand of LED light... because I firmly believe people should get an idea of the truth behind a company in full detail. Their lights are powerful and amazing, no complaints at all in any, way, shape or form... they truly are great and amazing lights. Once you try them you will see it for yourself, but even talking to Mark, watching him in the YouTube video's and turning on the light for the first time you quickly realize these lights are powerful and amazing.

Signed,

A Very Satisfied Customer

@Serenity's Angel ... I'm just about to click the 'buy' button on a P450 ... one to start, test grow, new growroom ... get another if all works ok. Glad you posted this, very useful.
Like you, I've been going round in circles looking at LEDs.
I had my eyes on Kind LED, but I read a bad review claiming overpricing, unbranded diodes (read Chinese) and poor support. Put me off.
Mars Hydro aren't the most electrically-efficient, I don't have the time to build my own COBs (yet) and I live in the UK so my choices are limited.
I've heard Grow Northern (A UK brand, not to be confused with Northern Grow - Photon Labs) have something awesome coming out next year using COB tech, but I don't want to wait until then and goodness knows what the price tag will be.

You've just helped me make a decision. Thank you.
I'm not very good at making decisions ... can take weeks, months, even years sometimes to come to one..!
A captain of industry, I'm not.

Hi @Bud Wiser UK! Thanks for considering our P450 for you grow! Please let me know if there it anything I can do to help you! Keep on growing the dream my friend!

Please make no mistake just because this is my first post here does not mean I am a spammer... I just was told of this Forum and told it was a safe place to post the "truth" of Platinum LED, and just got kicked out of another Forum last week for responding to a question about my lights... So I made my first post here and had to wait to get back... but as for the photos... here you go:

Whether you can see it or not there is layer after layer after layer of plants... I would not even understand how deep and twisted the layers were until I was trying to get plants apart and had to literally cut the layers out to get the plants out. On the P-450 side I had the plants do this... a friend of mine called them "hash tips" all I know is this photo is from Week-7 of Bloom and these were under the P-450, the P-300 did not do this to the other plants in Bloom... again I have another more recent photo of the same thing, again under P-450's... not the P-300, hence why I made the upgrade to a 2nd P-450 and moved the P-300 to strictly Veg now to replace T-5's.

The P-300 is on the Left, the P-450 is on the right and here again is the difference in their power to see for yourself.

Love the set up and pics @Serenity's Angel! What was the forum that you got kicked off of? We do come across trolls from time to time on other forums.

hi hemi sorry but when i burnt mine my light was only 25 inches from the bottom of my tent and by the time i put the auto under the p450 it was about 12 inches tall from a cfl & i was using a wee mars 11 400 before hand an i thought it'll be fine the 70 watt difference isn't that much it's just a better spectrum right...But alass I have it set up a bit better now i'm just looking for the perfect distance + i have a journal started if you fancy dropping in anytime

I can't remember who told me but someone, who grew in the recent PlatinumLED grows, gave me the advice to put the seeds in the ground, set the lights at 30 inches above them, and turn the veg lights on. Since I started that I have had much better results. Of course I have two of the P300s in a 3x3 tent and believe me that is a lot of PAR shining down on them. I don't have a PAR meter, too expensive, but do use a LUX meter to determine where the sweet spot is at. At 30 inches there is over 20k LUX on both girls.

I will pop by your grow and check it out.
