    Advanced Lighting Shootout- New 500W Plasma, Plasma+LED, Blackdog LED..

    Yeah I would definitely suggest better fixtures than the Blackdog led and Chameleon 500 watt plasma. The BML horticulture Spydr fixture that was suggested by someone else is a good choice but. Only if you get them to make a custom spectrum that is predominantly white leds with some 630 and 660...

    Alternatives to HPS that live up to their hype?

    If the price is a concern. You should definitely check out the new Ceramic Metal Halide setups that are around $500. They are putting out an excellent spectrum and more efficient than a typical HID system as well. I have seen a few grow threads with people getting great results. Scroll down to...

    Alternatives to HPS that live up to their hype?

    I definitely can't take credit for doing the testing or being involved at all. All I did was repost the info after discovering it on another grow forum (can't mention it bc of thcfarmer.com rules) because I thought it was interesting and valuable info but. Just last night I realized that the...

    The current state of lighting.

    In my opinion, one of the main reasons there is such a disparity in quality of cannabis through out most of the led fixtures made in the past is because of the spectrum and all the different variables that come into play when you have so many different diode and color choices. A lot of led...

    The current state of lighting.

    Why are you so defensive when it comes to your precious HID? I am not saying to throw away your HID, because LED is to expensive especially for a commercial grower at the moment. Yes, the price for a quality LED fixture is high (just like any new technology), but to say that LED can't compete...

    He used the AT600 shown here http://www.apachetechinc.com/10-white-red which uses a 3:2 color ratio of white/red if I remember correctly. You could use one of their smaller AT120 or AT200's to get similar results if you needed a light with a smaller footprint.

    The current state of lighting.

    Since we discussed the HPS vs. LED video here I thought you guys might be interested in this. The grower that did the HPS vs. LED test on youtube has a grow thread on another forum. He recently sent off an HPS & LED bud to be tested at a lab. Here are his results: "HEAD TO HEAD...LED then HPS...

    The grower finally got the test results back from his LED vs. HPS grow. Here are his results: "HEAD TO HEAD...LED then HPS CANNABINOIDS: Total: LED=27% HPS=25% THCA: L=25%, H=22% THCAC4: L=0.74%, H=0.74% D9THC: L=1.7%, H=2.0% D8THC: L=0.11%, H=0.095% CBNA: L=0.091%, H=0.081% CBDA: L=0.08%...

    SONIC STIMULATION

    I came across this article "Vibrations Enhance Efficiency of Photosynthesis in Plant Leaves" http://www.scienceworldreport.com/articles/16009/20140714/vibrations-enhance-efficiency-photosynthesis-plant-leaves.htm citing a new study that was published recently called "Vibronic coherence in...

    Alternatives to HPS that live up to their hype?

    I asked the same question on the rocket plasma grow thread that I have been keeping up with and he said "I've had mine 6 inches away no worries but your spread is greatly diminished then.". If you contact them and get some info on price or anything else I would love to hear it.

    Alternatives to HPS that live up to their hype?

    That would be more than a gram a watt if I am not mistaken. Great pull for 585 watts! From what I understand the LEC 315 puts out heat similar to a 400 watt hps considering what they said on growershouse.com but. I am trying to figure out how close our plants can get to the plasma or LEC without...

    The current state of lighting.

    I can definitely agree with the price needing to come down but. Someone asked for proof of an led competing with hids and I think that video is a good example showing that they can compete. All new technology starts out with a higher price than the older tech. It will come down in time.

    Alternatives to HPS that live up to their hype?

    I agree with you on the 2.5' x 2.5' 235 watt footprint from what I have been seeing in photos. The LEC 315 seems to have a footprint around the same size as well from what I have heard and seen from others ( maybe 3' x 3'?). In my opinion, when we are talking about new technology and a better...

    Alternatives to HPS that live up to their hype?

    I am no expert on the spectrum subject by any means but. Just look at the color temperature for the bulbs if you are trying to figure out whether they are good for vegetative or flowering stages. Spectrum Per Wikipedia, "The color temperature of a light source is the temperature of an ideal...

    Topanga doesn't sell the rocket plasma fixture they are the manufacturer of the plasma technology. www.MonsterGardens.com and www.growershouse.com both sell the 235 watt version but. They don't have the 470 watt version listed because it just came out. The guy with the grow thread on the other...

    Alternatives to HPS that live up to their hype?

    I don't know a price or anything on the new model. They literally just announced it earlier today with just the photo I posted earlier and 470 watt description on instagram. I checked the Topanga products again when they announced it and just assumed it was the one that didn't say "coming soon"...

    Ahhh, I'am glad to speak to another person that has a Rocket Plasma fixture. There are a couple other grow threads on another grow forum but only one with good photos and those plants are about half way through flowering now. How did you like the finished buds? Were they a good quality? Airy...

    Alternatives to HPS that live up to their hype?

    I was just talking about Rocket Plasma possibly using Topanga's 470 watt emitter in this thread yesterday and look what they announced today at the Maximum Yield Expo and on instagram. If you want a spectrum similar to what the combination of a gavita plasma and hps hid bulb will get you. Then...

    Do a google search with the terms "at600", "greengenes707", and "hps" in the search query and you will find the grow thread. I will post in here if I remember by the time the results come out.
