How light spectrum affects nutrient use in plant tissue...

Shit guys,,,,I was just looking at a thread where a guy is running the DNA 860 vert bulb and ballast.....wow...that's a game changer combo !!! 1880 par from the side and 1600 from below at 12 inches....WOW......now that's something worth spending money on, the par graph is off the charts in all mm ranges.....

DNA 860 vert bulb and ballast.....this is from another site....

This is how I took all the pics. I held the sensor like this for every pic.

The 1st bulb was the 860 and I held it at the bottom of the bulb touching the glass on every reading. looks like this.

This is the reading from touching the side of the bulb. Not the bottom.

The 330's they make push more par energy then a 600 hps in all nm ranges....

Still tho at 190 a bulb is steep.....I just won't pay that for a bulb but its not that bad, if I was growing for a real medical place or some lab type environment then yea I would get them....but I'm not and I'm already pulling down great GPW numbers from 20 dollar 600hps bulbs and my bud is just as dank as any other high grade bud and just a powerful.....so my view is still the same....fuck that....

Yea, I was just talkin about that in another thread....I pull 16-28 per 600 with ease depending on strain 16 on low yielders 28 most of the time (4) 7oz plants and when I run my heavy yield strain I fill a 4*8 tent with (2)600s and pull 4 lbs (8) 8oz plants...and yea use the mh 600s, both hps & mh made by "planet earth" are great....if I run heavy yield strains those bulbs make football buds every run....I credit that more to everything being dialed in tho...I've been running that setup for years and now just toss plants in there with my soil mix and water, very little work....I also run (6) 600s over my flood n drain room.....same bulbs....

My hoods hit wall 2 wall in a 4*4 (half tent) and in the first 4 weeks of flower I keep them around 16in and then 12in for weeks 5,6,7 and I back them off back to 16ish for week 8 to cut back on heat and allow for buds to finish without drying up the oils.....I get solid 15in colas and some lowers, but I try to fill the space with just strong mains......

You should try those bulbs out if your sick of paying 90 , you will slide it from the box and say "no way this is 20 bucks" and the best part is I can buy a case even cheaper and not even put a dent in the pocket....

 

[clockworx]

But anywho, what kinda setup you run in cap ? Soil hydro, nutes ? You got a journal going rite now?
