Hey, nice man. I'm sure you will be happy with it, and yea 200w will be more than enough for 1 plant.

Hey bro, if you check out the LED review section there's a couple reviews of the Apollo's with links to grow journals, and yea I'll make sure to do one when my grow is completed.

Hey Hansbricks. Hows that LED working out for you bro? Im going to be ordering mine as soon as my tax money comes in. Ive been talking to a lady and she said the setup and wavelength of your exact spectrum will not be a problem to get. Just wondering how yours is working out.

 

[Hansbricks]

Hey bro, that's good to hear you can get the same spectrum, should give you good results. At the moment I'm still using my 300w (180w actual) eBay LED to veg my 3 plants cause the coverage area is larger with the 120deg lenses. I'll probably start running the Apollo next weekend, feel free to follow my new grow journal here: https://www.autoflower.org/f138/second-grow-red-poison-purple-kush-white-widow-28817.html

it's basically the same as the new GN units.

This is an awesome concept. When I read your post a few weeks ago I thought it was more detail than I wanted to get into. But, now I'm preparing to order one myself.

I have some questions:

1. Do they[1] charge extra for custom color? Curious what to expect before contacting them.

2. You said you aimed toward Grow Northern's color. I noticed some slight variations between yours and GN's. I'll throw in Vick/Tang/Red-eye's custom config[2] just for comparison too:

I'm curious if there was a reason you didn't do GN's exact colors. Seems like yours is a bit less "deep red," therefore more full spectrum and suitable for veg? Even a cooler "white."

(For comparison, V/T/R's config seems more deep red (in the IR), but goes cooler with the "white.")

I know so little I'd be inclined to follow GN's configuration just because they're an authority on the topic. So... I'm curious why you deviated.

Thanks!
