Id say she looks a bit light shy. Leds, right? Old growth looks nice and green, new growth a bit pale. If your soil nutes were finishing id expect some missing N which would be the opposite, paleness starting on the bottom. Is she transpiring properly? What temps/rh? With leds its better to be...

Dawgie, your grows are allways nice, following along on this one. Whats the deal on your cobs, 3500k 80cri?

I thought this was the les forum?!?

Have you tried those ccts out yourself? Personally i feel 2700k 90cri is actually a little light on blue, its nice for transpiration.

Look into bridgelux vesta strips, its almost what your after: 5000k / 2700k 90cri on separate channels.

OP: i concurr with previous members re multiple panels: it becomes a bitch when switching on and off by timer. Each driver has a considerable inrush current so you cant switch all (or even half) on at the same time/on same timer. This is much easier managing with fewer but more powerfull...

Im not very familiar with the datasheet other than H-evos having a different photon pump at 435nm rather than 450nm. This might make them look less efficient in lums/w but afaik they are more efficient in ppf/w than anything around.

To me this fixture is maybe a bit over powered for its size, it fits perfect for a 4x4 and 800w is more of a 5x5 powerlevel. Is there anyway you could check at what wattage you would get a solid 800 par at 10-12" height? Should be somewhere near 500w i guess.

Purpling is due to anthocyanin accumulating in the plant and its production is inhibited by higher temps. Try raising temps without raising lightlevels. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5655971/

For purple stems and stalks try googling High Irradiation Response. Generally its too much light with too little heat

I believe @p I believe @PSUAGRO (who i cant seem to tag anymore, did he get cancelled or something?)ade a few runs with those meatcobs. I cant even search by his handle but i still got him somewhere in my pms. Managed to find the thread...

I cant say that i agree. Or maybe it depends on how you define "close to the same". Even your own answer seems to disagree, between 2#s and 3#s theres 50% difference, thats not what i would call close. Weve seen a fair few different elite cuts and there are definite differences in yield, some...

You need to factor in light throw and hanging height, his only got 6.5 feet height. OP: with autos on 20 hour light on you can no use 15-20w per square foot but you defo need several bartype fixtures for light spread. Growing with less watts for longer hours spectrum seems to play in more...

Luma versus spectrabox: its easier if you drop some links to the actual lights youre looking at, rather than just brands. Looking around on whats online about these two brands: cant actually find a spectrabox web page, it seems like the next best thing is a dutch site distributing them. Also...

Tbh im not sure now, sombody said the boards are 58V, i dont know the datasheet which wouldnt fit on this driver. 58+58 is over 114v which is upper limit of this driver.
