Boy it sure seems like all that flicker would transfer into less growth cause it being dimmed so much?
lol i think im a bit more knowledgeable than your average joe,im a ham operator :confused:What do you actually know about electronics, switching power supplies and duty cycles?
now this one bothers me to lol.so plants see like we see?so if i see a bright green t5ho(which i have in my flower pad) does that mean my plants see it just as bright?C'MON MAN (espn style) plants dont have eyeballs ,totally dif responses and triggers involved .you had me at 200khz :)Plants don't see that flickering just like you don't. If the ballast is squeezing out nominal power than thats what the plants get no matter if the bulb runs at 20 or 200 kHz
I'll chime in here...I use grobal units as well as summit units, grobals on welthinks and summits on Phillips ballasts.
There is ZERO difference. Apples and apples, I've seen a facility running all grobals and the company running it is straight killing the game in Colorado...I doubt there are any who could compete once that operation is scaled up. I designed a facility last year using summit units in veg and honestly I'm noticing better growth out of the grobals with their hood, which is definitely different than most other hoods I've used.
@We Solidarity
No, the Phillips ballast is not electronic at least not the one that is housed inside the sun system 315 LEC
And how can one be sure that these claims are true, just cause a company claims sq wave length/ low freq doesnt make it so and with these ballast being made in china and grobal having no real relationship with them it again makes me wonder.
Grobal is not the only Boulder based company who is selling a CHM with a Welthink ballast
Do you like these units over the Sunsytem LEC?
I haven't personally used the sunsystem but seeing them in demo they are definitely just as bright at the other 315s out there...I went with grobals because they were local and the guys already had solid rep backing up their units, plus I got to see them in action which is always awesome. Whichever unit you choose I think you'll be happy.
I would offer my opinion, that being the elite Agro has a superior spectrum on the eyes... but there's dudes in here running CMH on commercial grows - hopefully they'll pipe in with real world numbers :-)Anyone using 315s to supplement HPS, care to comment on choosing the 942 vs Agro lamps?
Hi,Thanks for the info!
I've got 12 SS LEC's and I love them I also have some dpaps but I like the LEC better, I'm looking to expand the veg room and just wanted to make the right purchase. I've been paying 375 out the door for the LEC 315s.
Cheers
Hi,
Any chance you can tell us who sells them at that price? I have been paying $620 in AK! ACK! I couldn't even get GrowMI to ship them here.
