Old Reviews Apollo Horticulture GL100LED Full Spectrum 300W LED review

[bartlancertp]

I got two of the Apollo Horticulture GL100LED Full Spectrum 300W LEDs ($119/each) to replace my 600W HPS. I ignored those that said to avoid the cheap LEDs, as the reviews on Amazon were mostly positive (4/5*). Growing 8 autos (Jack Herer, Northern Lights Blue, La Bella Afrodita...), on 18/6, I got less than half the growth as usual in veg, and almost no growth in flower. I've grown most of these varieties before. I added CalMag to my usual GH Floranova nutes. I had the lights on the closer side for an LED, 1-2' in veg, 8-12" in flower (Apollo said their LED is designed to be closer). I switched back to my HPS before the end of the grow. I got about 1/4 my usual yield! Rather disappointed. I would not recommend these LEDs.

No way to tell for sure, but the buds seem a bit more potent, possibly due to me using one of the LEDs along with my HPS in flower?

Hum Ive got one panel. Does just as good as my 12 cfl if jot better. It replaced With less blody cords n fire hazerds Ive got bud 3 weeks in. Its growing. Nothing like a hid. Tho. But. Im banned from using the. The words hid grow light. Sends ppl in bloddy panic
I prob got no clue what im talking about. So take this grain salt Thos panels are 170w each that the true wattage Not 300w X2 is 340w So maybe to replace a 600w hps it would take x4 gl 100 mm. Just an opinoin not gospel i dont think 2 panels rep a 600w hps
Personaly and i do this with hps i uder size marketed foot prints som2x2 is wat i decided the gl 100 foot print is. Thats my 2 cents. Lol.
I bought a second gl100 one to put in my 36x18x72 metal cab Im not looking for crazy yeild An ho to oz a plant and im happier than pig in &$;& Ya my buddy swears leds incress buzz flavor n smell Look up kcmp 900w grow
