Update week 4 day 23. The girls are looking healthy, started them on cannaboost and massive bloom pk 50-33 on saturday, looks like there might be a couple of keepers ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿผ Some nice phenotypes. I took some individual photos of some of the plants under the LED's. Complicated to take individual photos of every plant as there is 20 of them to get out the grow room.. Will be able to take some more when i do a clean out next week. So, what differences are there between the 205w Cob led ramps and the 600w viparspectra ? This is obviously a unfair test and would have to be done using clones only to make it fair ( mabey next time ) The 410w cob ramps are covering 1 square meter just like the 600w viparspectra ( more like 300w.. ) First is light penetration into the canopy, a lot more effecient in favor of the cobs, flower sites being more advanced on the bottom half of the plants. Second would be harvest weight, the plants seem to be putting on a lot more weight under the cobs. Third would be trichome production, now don't get me wrong, the viparspectra 600w is also very good at this test and is usually better then the HPS. From experience Leds have better trichome production and denser flower results then HPS. But the cobs are definetly on another level... Things are really getting sticky under there... ๐Ÿ˜Ž So... Now i have kind of "beaten up" the viparspectra, why buy one ? The cobs are close to 400euros per ramp, thats 800euros... The viparspectra 600w is 169euros... I think the viparspectra is good for someone getting into leds and is good for growing 2 plants maximum in a 80x80 grow room using a Hst, Lst or Scrog technique to help with the penetration issus. In this case it's a great bang for your buck ! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ I will obviously be doing some end results at harvest time. Thanks for following ! Hope you enjoy ๐Ÿ˜Ž

@TheUk420Show, Same here, most of the time i use clones from my mothers collected over the years. Well, i have no light leakage or stress problems that i can think of, so i am going to put it down to a unstable phenotype.. only had a few bananas late in flower. But was not prepared to take any risk. Happens from time to time with fem seeds unfortunately. But oh well its all part of the fun haha ๐Ÿ˜Š

Man that gorrila looks like its about ready for the judo chop ? one or two more weeks ? Dang sensei show me the way :D :D. A question for you ? Do you start counting the weeks after you change the light cycle or do you start to count the weeks from when you see buds on the plant ? both lights have formed nice looking buds :)

@TheUk420Show, Yeah not long now ! Going to give here about 10 more days, think i will take her down around 50% amber trichs. Going for the KO ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hahahaha. I have always started counting 7 days after switch ๐Ÿ˜Š Thanks man ! I have been using HPS for about 15 years and was septic about going to LEDs, its quite new too me, but im glad i did ! Will be changing all the lights for next grow !

Good stuff...Love seeing diaries that put things to the test. I started off on a cheap LED. I never actually harvested a grow from it so I'm keen to see how it performs.

@Mospeada, Thanks bro ! To make it simple, the cob leds have much better penetration into the canopy, greater quality end product and better harvest weight. IMO The viparspectra 600w LED is great for getting into leds and is just fine for 1 or 2 plants maximum in a 80x80 growtent using hst, lst or scrog technique. It's good for the money ! Will be showing some comparaison photos on saturday ๐Ÿ˜Š Not very fair due to being seeds and not clones but its makes the point. Happy growing ๐Ÿ˜Ž
