Im in Euorpe my man. But still you could look over my list if you dont mind, maybe you give me a total....I was going to order the Luminus and the 60-1050 Drivers from Digikey in Germany....
Far red should be on for really only the last 15-30 Mins of AFTER Lights Out. There's some merit to turning on before they go out, but it's really only to be used on its own, while the lights are out, to trigger the sleeping quicker.
Another thing....with 7x3 lights in my 8x4 tent and 3x3 lights in the 100x100cm tent .... do i even need reflectors?!
Nope! I don't like reflectors because they increase minimum heights and can cause hotspots. Without them you can go closer to the tops. Reflectors and lenses are only needed if you need to brigde a long distance. In tents I would rather do it without.
I heard 730 and 660, boosts photosynthesis, So i use the 730 and it mixes with my others COBS to get the better spectrum for photosynthesis, which i also heard, having those spectrums combined, you can lower your par as the sweet spot is 400PAR with this combination,
in conjunction. google "Emerson Effect"
Cannabis is a C3 plant. It does not "do" anything during the night cycle. C4 plants use the night cycle to process CO2 using stored energy (in the form of ATP).
Emerson Effect occurs at 680 nm and 700 nm. Emerson found that both wavelengths together increased photosynthesis by about ten percent more than if only one or the other frequency was used. It is probably the most misunderstood concept in plant biology. All it really showed is that there are two different chloroplasts at work, one with an absorption peak at 680 nm and the other is at 700 nm. Nothing more. When compared to the total photosynthesis occurring when a plant is bathed in strong white light, the Emerson Effect is completely buried and is quite insignificant.
Using 730nm during the day can still be useful. Under LED's photosynthesis system one(PS-I) seems over-excited compared to PS-II and some far-red(up to 90μMol/s/m²) can compensate for this making photosynthesis more efficient. It also helps to increase the leaf temps. For a 3x 3' area one puck may be a bit too little and you should consider to add a second one.
Yeah but im not in the US......they can write up a lower bill for customs. I am not sure if i can rely on their heatsink for the bjb holders....can you see if they will fit by the way they drilled the holes......and keep in mind im totally new to this so i have no idea.....just dont wann spent $800+ and end up with a set that doesnt work with the Luminus CXM22....you feel me?!!! here is a picture of their 133mm heatsink:
Take No.2!
