It's not 2000 watt, it's not 2000 watt equivalent, and those are not battery packs, they're drivers for the lights. Each driver controls one light panel in that fixture.
Its a good cheap light to use while you learn. They do have a staying on issue after a few months. Some of the leds stay on. Generally its fine for a 2x2 or 2 for 3x3. Expect to change lights after about 12 months. The uv in this light actually works. Used properly you can get dense buds from this light due to how good the spectrum is.
Good for a 2x2 max for flower anything bigger it wont have enough par to cover the hole canopy and the flowers wont get big and dense they will be airy not solid. You could vege a 3x3 area because during vege you need alot less par 300 to 500 par is plenty. This light will work good in a 2x2 for flower on max you could dial down the dimmer to 50 or 75% for vege. This is just a cheap Chinese led grow light im not sure the diodes they use but at 130 watts from the wall dont matter if they use newer samsung lm301h diodes or new osrams still only good for 2x2 for best results. Its a older style growlight due to tiny heatsinks that need a fan to cool. All the first generation grow lights that used the old epistar diodes looked like this. Hopefully it does not have old epistar diodes as all the old lights like this had low par/ ppfd avaraged about 1.6 umol/j judging by the color cri i doubt they have epistar diodes because they typically had a mix of reds and blue diodes 660s and 450nm which gave a purple pink tint. They probably use samsung lm218b diodes a good diode common today on budget led brands capable of growing good cannabis/ flowers just a step below the samsung lm301b and samsung lm301h. Hope that helps someone.
Have you watched this video you made? I apologize for saying but you contradict yourself, camera angles show nothing.... cut one that has 2 bud sites below it? Pinch the top you just took? Leave it in water for about a minute then show us the one that's been in water for a week? I stopped watching half way thru.
Thanks for the feedback, ill need rewatch it sometime, might need to take ot down if it sucks that bad :) Ive been meaning to make another single clone method video which I mostly use these days.
Yep, I flower 2 medium plants at a time in it. It does get crowded but I get to use all the light and the plants do really well in it, I do have 2 strong fans at the bottom of it....
Thnx for feedback, I updated the title to mention 300 watt. It is 2000 watt equivalent but your right, I just say 2000 watts in the video. I've had this light with 12 hr/day use for about 2 years now with no issue. It looks to me like some space astronaut hardware but Im usually just looking as the buds so looks good enough to me :)
Probably closer to between 400w and 600w equivalent in MH/HPS then if it draws 130w. 200watt range is where you start to be comparable to a 1000w mh/hps, no?
Yes, the lights are good for seed through harvest. You just need to set the lights to 50-75% strength when the plants are small. Checkout howgrowweed.com for step by step from seed to harvest.
Curious if this would be good for general vegetation growth, I mainly do indoor bonsai and im looking for a good grow light for the winter months for my tropicals. I find they are pretty similar to marijuana when it comes to light requirements. Great video btw, Happy growing
Hi, yes this is a full spectrum light and should have similar properties to sunlight. I have heard of friends growing peppers and strawberries under this light, haven't tried that myself yet. It has a brightness adjuster so you would need to find the right setting for bonsai plants and ofcourse consider the optimal light duration set on a timer. Good luck!
This is not how to setup an extraction fan in a tent. Also you have to dump the used air outside the room that the tent is in otherwise you are recirculating used air. This will mean significant CO2 loss in the Air and that will result in slower growth and yeild.
Hi, thanks for the comment. The purpose of the fan featured in this video is to add some airflow and to create negative pressure in my veg tent; this helps to discourage bugs and mold. I have a separate fan taking air out of my grow room that the veg tent is in and I have a fan feeding air from another room into my flowering tents; which use the most CO2.
This video series is intended for complete beginner growers. My next series will be geared toward people with more experience which aligns with myself continuing to grow and getting more experience :)
The light is very bright and I was able to flower successfully with one of these in a small tent.; I think its 1000w equivalent brightness but takes a lot less energy which is good. You'll def get better results flowering with a more expensive light or 2 of these running at the same time but I have found them more than adequate for vegging.
@@MakeWeedNotWar 1000 is just the name, the wattage should show on the product. all light companies do that. it's probably 100 watts or something that small.
@@WintJames Yeah Amazon says Incandescent equivalent 1000 Watts, so they are just trying to compare to the old school incandescent light brightness. It says 130W as @bliffnode mentioned. Thank goodness these lights don't take that much wattage since they would cost a lot more to run and blow out my fuse :). My bigger "2000w" ligts use about 200w...
I've been growing for a couple of years. First time growing blue dream shown in this video, not my favorite so far, requires a lot of pruning and not the prettiest grow. Might switch these videos to super sour d or gods gift at some point...
