We got 2 bud master led fittings I think they were around 850 each for spain to try in a tent for temps in summer but they never got to the end to see if they was guna be worth it bur I think my next trial is guna be with 315 x 3 over 2.4 x 1.2 area so basically 945w instead of 1200 and a larger yield potential sounds like a winner tbh :)
that's exactly my bloom tent footprint,8x4..was gonna get 2 ,315s and use them two long led panels for side lighting until I get another 315.theres no better lighting out there now,especially for quality in my opinion anyway bro.he swears on the 3100k bulbs,but I've spoken to people who use the 4200k right through with outstanding results too.
Neva been happier with a light!
Everything I've been looking at about em says there guna be awesome and if I can get the same weight or better it's a no brainer :)
From that comment bro I take it your using them and are happy have u got the de or just standard. I don't know if to use 3 standard or 2 de
standards.mate..
I am in London mate, then heading back to Kent. We are here for the next month mate, so i hope it warms up LOL.
I run 315's mate, would never ever use anything else. Square wave ballast, 94% CRI, high umol too. Paps are decent lamps, had one for about 2 years now, the d-pap 315. I am currently running a test lamp from Nova 600W MH but its hotter than the sun. my plants look great tho, really stocky.
What size tents are u using bro ? I was thinking 3 x single lamps 315s for a 2.4 x 1.2 what u reckon ?
yeah i run 4 in a 2.4 mate, but regularly run only the single lamp, so technically being 2x 315 instead of 4x 315, but i run the dual lamp hoods, if you went with 3x singles this would work really well buddy. i pulled 562g m2 from a single 315w lamp and i didnt pay any extra attention mate. great in the summer for lowering heat etc
Dafuq over half a box off 315W ???? :shockedninja:
each hood has x2 315w bulbs mate, so i just switch one off when it gets warmer.
last run of madberry did 172 per plant, 3 in a 1m2 so whole tent did top rate sale near 10K
So u have got 2 x 630 hoods but switch it down to 315 with taking a bulb out of each
We currently get 1kg per double tent all year round sometimes a little better when conditions stay perfect if I can get this or better from 3 x single units I will be real happy especially on jobs in foreign countries where there supply are dog shit and hotter than hell in summer there a no brainer next run I'm defo trying them :) and if they don't work it's all your fault yea! Pmsl :)
yup in the summer, I found running the 315s got me the magic 25c canopy temps, while i managed to keep my root temps to under 23c even on the hottest days. I find if i can keep the environmental close to right, my plants will just grow, to potential. Thats madberry I just pulled was a jack pheno, ran 11 weeks but dam she is top class mate, and super weights of her. I was flipping the lights based on the weather outside, so some days got full 630 but more often 315. I have a tally somewhere to show the split of time on each setting.
yo they work boss mate. You will pick them up easy peasy brother. I swear down bro, I cut serious wages off my running costs with these lamps. I had a blue dream that did 562 under HPS 600W and 720 under CDM same plant bro, a reliable cut people like.
