You said this
Might wanna try to not backtrack your own words like that when they are written right above your post. Current horticultural LEDs do not contain UV like a MH or CMH light does, they contain no UV. Make sure you get your shit straight you can't walk back that shit on me and play those games.
something you might want to try is the eye horti blue daylight MH bulb. i tried one on a mag ballast and the spectrum might actually be superior to CMH.
It's a fact that there are led's that produce UV. No shit, beel (sic)or otherwise.
Them bulbs are EXPENSIVE!!! But I know a guy that uses them in veg and they put out a very sun like spectrum.
and they don't last long either. but they claim they are the closest to sunlight and i believe them. i think my 400w was 70 bucks. so not muchmore than a cmh. not sure what the 1k runs though?
I got 4 old ass sun systems and hydrofarms left. Sold the rest over the years. I might xust one off and fire her up.
Dont feed the troll
Good choice. Jst be careful not to run too close to the canopy, especially running the 630 in a 4x4. The UVB in cmh can torch your trichs.
I've currently got it set about 26-28 inches above the canopys. I've noticed the leaves have definetly got a little scorched from the uv. So probably need to add a bit more height . But the top buds are looking sooooo good and purple. Here's a pic of the bulb spectrums. I did one 3100k phillips and one 4200k phillips
That's where that UV really shines. It also can increase growth rate.[/QUOTE]
That's basically the yield im getting with the 400w hps and 200wled combined. Getting about an oz for every sq ft.

I'm actually not suuuuuper impressed with this strain. Yield was actually pretty decent . Looks really good. Smells really good. But came out a little bit harsh. Might have used to much mollasses during the flush. The high is pretty good. Much more full body high than other strains I've ran. Just doesent taste as good as it could have imo
Yeah I've been reading up how people are saying there harvests are about a week or so ahead of schedule . It's definetly brighter . My grow room is getting better and better. Since I now have the 630cmh in my flowering tent. I was able to replace my t5 with my 400w MH in my veg closet . Now I use my viparspectra 450w ( 200w actual) for my seedling starts. I only run the veg switch which controls they white and blue spectrum. I've never grown from seed, always clones. I just sprouted 4 - La Affie seeds. And 2 Cinderella 99. They just showed there first leaves. How far should I keep the led from seedlings ? Running just the veg switch , the led only draws about 116w.[/QUOTE]
When talking UV light, you need to be aware of what spectrum you are talkkng about. UVA or UVB. Some UVB has its benefits but can easily be too much.[/quote]
Quite a ways. Im guessing at least 18”. As much as i love cmh and led, t5s are the way to go for seedlings imo. They dont need a ton of light, just enough to keep them from stretching.[/QUOTE]
See thats the issue I was having with my t5's. About 15 inches from my seedlings. They were stretching so much and starting to fall over I had to add soil to the cup to keep them from falling over . I put them under the led 2 days ago so I'll check on them when I get home tonight[/QUOTE]
