if you really want to kick those up a notch, switch their cobs out with another 36v model of your choice. anything will be better than the stock chinese epiled's.

hey!
i dont know about yield, i dont have any scale sorry :( you can see the pictures of the lowryders 2 on my first post, i know its not very representative, but ive grown this strain with hps vbefore and i had the same resul with a 250w hpx, only differnece is flowering time is 1 week longer with led, and overall quality of weed seems to be a bit better since the temperatures were easily controlled.

as far as height is concerned i always ketp the lamp 20cm above, if i put it higher the plants didnt seem to respond as well, right now my small closet is very cramped and some of them are touching the led cover, they donc seem to mind too muche, but its far from ideal.

i will be launching a new session soon, with roadrunner 1's but this time in hydro, probably nft.

in soil im using biobizz, in hydro plagron, im not very good with soil :(
hi i have 2 400W roleadro, i had one lamp then i bought a nother one and put them both at the same hight maybe 50cm, n the plant started to get sunbleach so now im super cusious but u dont want to miss out on that light u want so much light as pissible i put my lamps on 1,5 meter now just to see what happens n them lpwering them down when i see that the plants looks healthy but if u where to guess what should be the distance be i mean i read u only had 20 cm to ur plants and had no broblem at all, right?

Hi! i use a 1x1x2 growtent and i have 2x400w cob roleadro and if i put in both lamps its simply to much with just one lamp i would say that im about 60000 lux from 2 feet away and with the 2 lamp was simply to much light, so i opened it and u can switch of half of the two lamps so it only runs on 200w, im no an electrician but its really simple just try one is either for fan or half of the light, back to the tent so i now have 600w roleadro distance to the plants are 47 inches and its a solid 70000lux and it just feels like its gets more solid light i can get 70000 lux almost if i take away on lamp and just use one lamp but be carefull of light bleach and get a lux meter theyre cheap and a great way to get to know how mux light u actually have. so im i a moron for keeping the two light runing at the same time when i get almost what i can get with one lamp only if i move it closer? is it just imagination or is their such a thing called light thickness, i guess thats what the lux meters for :):) any way that a way if u of some reason only will use half of the effekt or u can make it in to a 300 w aswell if u only switch of half of the light on one side.

hey wich distance do u use the 400w on? it looks preatty close i got light bleach if i move my plants that close, it depends some strains r more sensetive but im just interested in how close it is to ur buds? do u have a lux meter?
