Pacific light concepts has a 23” heat sink that holds just one of their photoboost strips, since you are concerned about coverage might as well make it a perfect 23” x 23” square.
They're spending the time making a better light and you're spending the time getting a better grow but imagine mixing the knowledge.lol. I have been reading and discussing this for over 5 years now.
Many of the led “enthusiasts” online are on their 3rd and 4th versions. Spending thousands. And the weed looks exactly the same.
That would be too big because there's negative pressure in the tent.Pacific light concepts has a 23” heat sink that holds just one of their photoboost strips, since you are concerned about coverage might as well make it a perfect 23” x 23” square.
Just bit on my second. Probably won't touch anything new until UV becomes viable in led.. not a necessity to upgrade but a want. May aswell get the IR in there and better coverage for me. But your absolutely right. I could be wrong but I think we are nearing the end of rapid advancement phase of LED. But I may just eat those words in a yr or 2.lol.

It's cause they keep falling for Samsung..lol. I have been reading and discussing this for over 5 years now.

What more is there after this? Controllable spectrum, coverage and intensity.Just bit on my second.

I really don't know, but I do know the dollars would make one think so. I've only really looked a little into osram, cree, luxeon, bridgelux, Samsung, etc... I think the gains any of them have over each other is negligible.I guess. But isnt the best lamp full of osram?
I'll take a look later.The strip itself is actually 22”. Same as your width with the two hlgs you mentioned, but square. Just trying accomplish the coverage you wanted without buying 2 drivers.
With quality and yields under high end LED I could be wrong but I dont think the plant has much more to give for improvement. Bit yep those are areas that will still improve.The agricultural university testing as well as nasa are only testing discreet colored diodes. So blurple is still being studied. I think the best lights will be crop and environment tuned with white and colored diodes.

But really, and I think it was maybe mentioned in this thread, it's entirely worth just about whatever cost you want to drop on lights, or any equipment for that matter. A lot of y'all consuming ounces upon ounces a month... compared to retail, you're making out like a bandit any way about it.
For sure. It's definitely an 'ain't broke, don't fix it' situation.Im still happy to do it with hps. Only need about a pound a month. Even 3/4 pound would do it.
Sloppily.How do you guys handle trimming?
My 2x2 plants take 5+ hours for me to trim, I can't even imagine anything more than 6x6.

After how many years of experience. I only got 2-3oz and as I said it tkes me 5+ hours.i run a staggered perpetual garden. Plants are planted in veg tent and harvested from flower room one or two at a time every week or two at full production. So i only ever trim at most a half pound at once. I can dry trim about 2-3 oz per hour.
