Beautiful plants. Your gonna be a busy bee in the future. You gonna take an all auto journey and let us watch?
Wed love to be along with ya on the ride

@A-Train I will indeed take an auto journey. I have a 4x4 tent in mind for the autos. Maybe Ill cram nine 3 gallon pots in there. Was thinking of a way I could use up my photo beans.
Run some 8 week photos 12/12 in my 3x2 drip table in small pots using coco. About 14 can fit in a 4x2 in my sog drip setup.
Kind of a photo /auto run.

What strain autos you got? I think a 4x4 will make a nice auto sog using 3 gals

Oh man I always forget to check the intros. Stage with that monster bubblegum casting a shadow on his Christmas tree. :drool:

Excited to see the lights. That budmaster with osram chips, very close to Cree for efficiency, should be pumping out the same light as ~450w of HPS. That Vero fixture should be putting out ~350w of HPS(veros less efficient, and they're ran a bit hard). Both very high quality lights with top of the line LEDs in them.

High @Atulip
Thx for the input of the leds lights.
Although I own a 180w led, its old tech and these new Osrams and COB lighting has got me quite excited to see what I can do with em.
The budmaster osrams I'm receiving have enhancements.
BM says, "The new ones also now have the osram infra red on board so even better taste and better early stage growth, and this years batch of osram have 2% more output than last years batch so instead of dropping 1% by putting the infrared in we have gone up by 3%." I guess in plain english, they're constantly enhancing the product.
The Advanced XML 350 looks like a heck of a light also. Will it out rock my hid 600w? We shall see.
The Vero29 looks like a nice kit also, was looking to add the cree CXB200 and run as a pair. I saw Jimmy Indy rock the pair in a 4x2.
What Christmas tree?

@A-Train....I got these in mind, but I am really feeling the DP autocoloradocookies / autobrooklyn sunrise. If I get me hands on those, I will not run the sweet seeds DD.

welcome aboard stage.

Whassup @elsamurai ? Appreciate the welcome. How goes it bruddah?

 

[Atulip]

Advanced led, sadly no. It only has 10, 10w Cree chips. I'd guess 130-150lm/w for those. Then 144 "high output leds", probably 100lm/w. I'd say you've got 450w HPS equivelant there also. Careful with spread of that one, I'd use it in a 3x3 max.

That Vero fixture is hitting the 120-130lm/w area, and my osram knowledge is lacking, but ~150lm/w? The Cxb200 should be around 140-150lm/w.

 

[Atulip]

Your budmaster alone in the 4'x2' should be at that 700ppfd area(at 150lm/w). A very efficient use of light.

Cxb200 and Vero240 together in the 4x2 would be hitting the high end for the space. 1000+ ppfd.

@Atulip
Yea, bro..... I got a 3 tent circus in mind. two 4x2x7 tents, and a 4x4. I was thinking XML 350 in 4x4 over 9 autos. BM GOD-6 in 4x2 over 6 or 8 autos in 3 gal.
Then the DLP vero29 in the 4x2 over a 3x2 drip tray with 14 photo plants in 1 gal SOG.
I didn't really think the XML 350 would fully cover 4x4 by itself, however I do have supplemental led lighting to increase intensity and par.
Granted, the supplemental lighting (ie: mars II 1200 and 700) is not nearly as efficient, but I shouldn't need to add the supplemental until flower.
The energy savings is something I am looking forward to.
Last run my light bill was $280 to $300 per month with my fans and 600w hps etc..I would like to chop it in half.
DLP told me that running the pair vero29 + cree cxb200 :"If you were looking to add a Cree CXB200 (200W unit) that would give you 440W (roughly 187 PAR watts) output from both units."
Again...not entirely sure what that means (PAR watts vs electrical watts) but it definitely sounds like a good thing. You agree? Suggestions? I see you run multi tents too.
