Never grown in a tent all my rooms I built. I can run almost any light as long as height allows it. I like led but cmh is good too. The new single jacketed hortilux bulbs get down in the uv rangeProviding the right room temps for a tent for any light isnt hard, well i say that but ask an led grower...
All light is hot
1. Its been done, leds are not the first multipoint light fitting in our grow tents, penetration drops area increases. Leds follow this principle but you try to augment them back to a simgle point source or lower powered strips.
Again proof is in the pudding.1. Its been done, leds are not the first multipoint light fitting in our grow tents, penetration drops area increases. Leds follow this principle but you try to augment them back to a simgle point source or lower powered strips.
2. If you know of any spectrum in grow lights plants dont use writeca thesis and have it published as you will be the first. Leds fell down trying to guess this incompletecscience.
3. You have an led for a $1000, but zero actual science. Since the first ufo 90watters to six years later at present ive been listening to this absolute broscience.
Ya know leds and this tech was invented a long time begore these lights. People stayed away cause of the price but small advancements saw them closing in on sucker growers. The cheap leds at home and in cars etc work well as a beam of confined forward pointing light, they appear to emit more in that beam but hps will light up a lot morexof thecsurroundings and bingo you now know why hps has far superior penetration watt foelr watt.
The uk just up and ditched leds, no majors are selling them, evrn they couldnt find this extra yeild and groeth and science again won over.
Why are leds a toxic market? Simply because the users who forked out for em made it so, its what they do here too if ya havent noticed.
Oh they blame blurples and manufacturers and lies but nope.... it was all them, scroll back over this thread its all there
Can you admit what you paid for your leds?
1200 for a 4x5 setup.. I wasnt trying to hide it. There good for 10 years easy. That's like 20 hps bulbs and 20 percent more in air conditioning cost with hps
So you paid 4x what I did for a brand new gavita. At most I'll buy 4 bulbs in 10 years as they are 2 year bulbs and it comes with the first one. That leaves 500 for me to play with on other things. It's likely that portions of your fixture will fail before the 10 year mark, if you read up you'll see they dont actually last that long.
Sure man you win..good luck on all your future grows and I wish u the best
Classic hps look. Tall and crispy under the bulb and short and larfy on the outside. So glad my scrogs dont look like that anymorewell, after reading this entire thread, I feel a lot better about running my "antiquated" 1000w HPS . I'll just keep doing what I've been doing.
if it ain't broke, don't fix it I guess.
there's no scrogging going on there. I just let 'em grow. and they certainly aren't "crispy" lol
You're the only dude on earth that thinks Greenhouse Seeds are "real breeders".
Off the top of my head, I don't think they use any of the green. I'm no scientist though, so I really don't know.
You are asking me for pics?
Why do this? It’s called an opinion. Get over it. WTF?
This was directed at a specific guy. You shoulda seen that.
The fact that i dont use leds has given me a much more impartial opinion and a better writing of actual science here.
