I got lucky when I started and had 15 hoods, ballasts, bulbs, and all the grow equipment given to me, like out of nowhere, so I started buying led a little at a time and checking out the different tech, there’s a bunch out there, went through blurples, ugh, blurples, cobs, which do excellent...

I have run both, HPS is just not feasible where I am, we’re over 110 in the summer, so even with a mini split in my room it would be impossible to keep the heat vented off, I also don’t like having to run a ridiculous amount of ducting to get it done,I run quantum boards and I’m killin it...

I have the same branching going on, not sure what’s going on in that last pic, almost looks like a cluster of nanners. As for the odd branching, I’ve seen it plenty, particularly with plants that are happy early in veg, I typically get about 75% males from them, and if I have plants with regular...

No doubt, they're awesome, just out of my range until I get a few more things sewed up

The tech is moving really fast, a year ago everybody was hot on Cobs, now we know how much better the options are, Electric Sky has been around a while, and they use warm white, look at some of the closet grows from Mr Canuck, half pound under an ES180

Good to hear, I was thinking on putting one of the little 15w bulbs in my grow so I can see Good stuff, I'll check it out

Warm whites have a bit of the green spectrum to them, I read that too much stunts growth as well, in a few places, I always wondered if it would cause stress enough to cause herms

Pardon, not so much speed as the amount of energy and frequency of photons, Photon speed does change when it collides with a charged particle, plant matter contains ions that are charged, so the absorption rate of light is affected

Yes and no, if you look at the alibaba versions of the hlg models they're putting off 480w at the wall, so they aren't that far behind the HPS, and can potentially do more, at a lower wattage, I pulled my MH a week ago and put them in, and I'm pleased, I've seen a jump, and my node spacing...

I've done both, and HPS hurts, I'm running 3500 from the wall in LED on 140, and I'm only seeing about $150 increase now that the electricity here dropped from the inflated summer costs, I run QB's, Cob's, Blurple's, and I have one 436 watt T5 setup, when I was running the MH before I got my...

I bought 3 of the V2 clones from Shenzen Yuanhui LED Limited on Alibaba, they're the samsung boards with lm301b diodes, the only differences are that the meanwell driver is a different model number with the dimmer on a cord, and the far red diodes are epistar instead of Cree, but I've run...
