The Perfect Led Grow Light / Lite

[MIMedGrower]

Yes but the fluence will have a much bigger footprint.

That is true. I believe that the test had par numbers in a second unseen to me vid. They were accounting for that.

It was focusing on eficiency and they were equating it to gpw i believe.

I saw it a while ago.

So your saying it's about 50% as good as a fluence. Lol.. I'd rather have 50% more bud per harvest.

It will grow but you get what you pay for. In intensity and footprint. It's still a single point of light causing too many shadows. Would have to be used in a small area with reflective walls or in conjunction with other lights to truly be effective.

AND THAT'S WHAT I AM DOING WITH IT IT REALLY MADE LEAVES

Im saying the companies test showed it half as efficient. Mars and another chinese lamp were in that range too.

Correct, he was saying the same thing ...:)

I know. My first lights were blurples till I striped them and changed out the cobs and relocated the drivers.

So your experience matches the test results?

To an extent yes. Plus it's much easier to work under white light.

Blurples including 4 year old Vipar 300w live under my house, even a blue Lumigrow. They live next to my old HID lights. White COBs and Boards rule the indoor sunshine world.

Any thoughts on recycling swapping out purple cobs for whites?

Theres the growmau5 cobs that produce a almost pink hue.i dont know what diode spectrums hes using but I do believe they're all 301b's (dont quote me.)

But going cheap Chinese blurples... well try it and give us the results but i doubt they'll be worth it

Edit: do you have a brand name for the cobs you're considering?

I had blurples I swapped out the cobs for cxm22's and relocated new Meanwell drivers out of the tent.

Nice! I went from CMH to bridgelux strips in 3500k. Did you see a dramatic improvement in either cannabis yields and quality or cheaper Bill's?

Great improvement 3500k@90cri and 3000k@90cri. The bills are about the same.

Just make sure driver has the right forward voltage and you'll be fine

Or just buy new drivers.

Before defoliating


After

And on the left is only 3 plants under a 500w CXB3590 fixture and the right has 6 plants under a 500w CXB3590 fixture which I put in to fill the tent up lol. I didn't like seeing a half full tent.

Do you prefer with or without the reflectors?
