Lighting testing a new COB led 432watt! Twilight groups

[mauricem00]

this is somthing ill ask the manufacturer , il email him now and ask what the heights recomended are for various stages of growth and and ask about the square foot coverage aswel is it in the last pic, but il ask about sweetspots liek with grow nothern they say to lower the light to 45cm for bloom,

my thaughts are before recieving it i have seen a few diarys and for the growers i was impressed,
the plants are all growing nicely and it looks good,
the grills are sick lol everyone loves em, ive never growing with a cob style led though so it wil be interesting, it looks like some alien space ship gona be fun. i wana see the size difference and weight between the gn and this

I see 40 watts per sq ft being used a lot one manufacturer claims that 100 watts (actual power) will cover 9 sq ft for low light plants or vegging but will only cover 4 sq ft for high light plants like tomatoes and flowering so it seems like 25-40 watts (actual power) is the common figure but these new cobs claim higher efficiency and output. this is still a new and rapidly evolving field and there is a lot of conflicting information out there.

well thats why were here to test xD gona get this vs my gnms006, so we know what they can do fair comparison i think but will see,
the lenses it has makes a difference tho there a bit different than the normal led with the domes over them it wil be distributing it differntly than the flat ones, we will find out wont we and Twilight Groups are certain its going to be amazing, they are working on a spider with more coverage, yet but a few ppl tested/ing it are having nice results, look
just over 10oz here

also the formation on this is TIGHT lol i like it

and for coverage look at this guys grow

i think there doing quite well, but im sure i can do better there is someone just started a waterfarm too which is 1week odd old and hes having ph problems but thats down to the users dialing in
good to see ppl posting questions,

 

[drgreen]

the spider is in the mail!!!! everythigns been sorted .waiting on tracking numbers now not long i cant wait, reading and reading and reading lol and i must say im quite happy everything seems to be good

 

[drgreen]

will get my photos up tomorow, the camera has died. and ive been busy farming plants are filling out already will update tomorow, full intro and pics

 

[SUPERWEED]

Cant wait go hard man ! i will love this side by side test ! "kudos"

It will be good to see how it compares to a proven light but as its a new design and the ms006 is a three year old design I would rather see it againsed the new GN light.

 

[SUPERWEED]

yes new GN seems to be a monster
and should be very quiet and pull very little wattage and hopefully give big harvest


but the GN would be coming out soon right?

hey yall ive been ill ive been working ive been everything,. now before i start this grow i thaught i would start in a different way,, im waiting on feed from us takes the piss

so i thaught hey why dont i finnish off my current grow with the spider?? my buy wants to see somthing,. so here i blasted a pic when i added it in and then the explosive growth the followed,
im not far from harvest now, ive been slack with the pics here ,

i am gona start my big test in 3 weeks, but until then here is some of what ive found with the pannel

i have the unboxing video on upload too showing the led in full , when it up ill post it through

so heres a teaser ... i cant wait to start the grow from scratch with the led , but damn its sure showing good here,

btw does any 1 know what customs will do with my feed? they take everythign i bloody order and charge me, i even was charged for the led i got lol had to pay another £16 scamming bastard customs lol



i had a slight burn feed nothing to worry about though im learning about the light stil, and it doesnt help when plants grow past the sweet spot and into the led bubbles lol

I'm at about 23.4 watts/sq.ft. with my LEDs and my plants are doing fine. Would more be better? maybe, but I seem to have some fine looking plants. I'd think that light would be best covering a 4'x4' max.

i have watched a few grows who are also testing this pannel and they have done pretty well, ive seen some awesome results, but i reckon knowing what i know and growing what i grow i can do alot better ,
so im gona test this led, i am using ms006 atm... so this is a little better wattage, so i should easily beat what i can on that led hopefully.... ive a few experiments im going to try,


right, well 1 big tent, a bright led , automazar as a strain, and im thinking airpots for simplicity, but i might bring out one of my hydro setups,

either way i wil be labelling and measuring arms/colas all the way thru so everyone can see what is going on,

The Brand of chip is Epister and Epileds. both of them are from Taiwan


i am waiting on the post as we speak soon as i get it il post pics up, just posting up now to get any info feedback and or interest people have

I googled this light and the web site does not give a price for it. how much do they cost?also found these online that sound very similar to the description of the cobs being used in this light http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...ding-growing-flowering/121917_1598449383.html. will be very interested in seeing your results. these bridgelux full spectrum diodes are available in 3,30,50,and 100 watt versions and look very interesting. considering the spectrum they produce these diodes seem pretty efficient and the factory answered questions very quickly.
