Hey there, I've been talking to a new shop, and they offer top quality panels, and offered to build me custom spectrum panels for only 20$ more.
Their site is www.theotherpowercompany.ca
Now my question is, what's the best ratio for full spectrum? 7:1:1? Do you think I should get a custom panel built or is 7:1:1 good enough? I would probably be using CFl to help it veg
He's got panels available from less than 100W to 600W (Actual power draw, not LED rating)
As I am growing in a small (tiny) closet, but might want to expand to something slightly larger, I want something that's going to do me good for a second plant. My current area is 19.5"sq and 5' high.
These are the panels I am looking at (pre built, 7:1:1 panel)
120W - 335$
150W - 461$
He tells me these will replace a 500 and 650W HID respectively. Although those conversion charts are rarely accurate, the brightness of these panels seem to match it's HID counterpart.
I am still in email communication with him, so when I get more info I will update this thread. I still don't have complete details on the panel yet, what wavelengths are in use, LED count, light angle.
Edit:
The default specs are 7:1:1 660nm, 630nm and 460nm.
The panels have a 2 year warranty
The LEDs are Taiwan Epistar with a 120 degree viewing angle
