Howdy fellow Farmers, I'd like to share with you all the results of a lighting experiment I'm conducting in a sealed room with full environmental controls. The strain to be used is Power Plant, the competing fixtures are A)500W Plasma+LED from Chameleon B)BD760 LED from Black Dog C)500W Plasma only from Chameleon D) 600W HPS in Large Adjust-A-Wing hood and E)1000W HPS in Large A-Wing hood.
The hydroponic system is comprised of 3x3 flood tables holding 3 8x36" Grodan Expert slabs, irrigated from a 25 gal reservoir below running Advanced Nutrients Sensi base and other products. Green Air Products Digital and CAP 4 burner have co2 in check, Quest Dual 155 for the humidification, a 36k btu ac for the temp and off we grow!
The experimental trays are divided with hanging partitions in order to ensure that sidelight from other trays doesnt interfere with the results, as well as to give the reflective sidewalls. The first and third lights (going left to right in the pic) are 300W Plasmas from Chameleon that are being used to veg, the 500W and 500W+LED will be hung when its bloom time.
^The 300W Plasma (Will be 500W Plasma+LED)^
^The Black Dog BD-760 LED^
^300W Chameleon Plasma (Will be 500W Plasma)^
^600W HPS in Large Adjust-A-Wing reflector^
^1000W HPS in Large Adjust-A-Wing reflector^
I'm excited to see how all of these fixtures perform! I will be uploading more specs and close up pics of each of the fixtures and other information soon. The Black Dog LED lends a piercing purplish glare to the room, I cant wait to see how it performs! Also, as far as I know almost nobody has had the opportunity to use these brand new 500w plasmas (or 500w+LED) with cannabis, and measuring their performance against the 600s and 1000s we are familiar with will be revealing. Hell Ive been meaning to answer the 1000 vs 600 question for sure myself for a while anyway. Check it out! Peace
