Never... I mean physics are the same, basically everywhere... it just is the sun is both so strong and distance that just a few meters up and down don'T mean a thing... but for an electric light, it doeswe just can't replicate yet
I hear what you're saying but I think it's something we can't measure yet. They just figured out far red. I think in the future the spectrum chart will expand alot.Never...

Me too I don't get to 100% I'm at 60% 3 weeks into flower now 16" away I can't give them any more without frying my leaves, The last grow I cooked them this time I'm going easy....leaves look healthier now at 3 weeks than last time....I'll adjust upwards but I can only raise the light 2-3 " without taking off the hangers.Indeed, there's nothing better than healthy plants. Perhaps if I ever become good at growing, I'll be able to run my lights at a higher power level. For now, though, turning the power down accommodates my poor growing ability.
It seems you have to be running CO2 to get the most out of LEDs. I'm at 6 weeks, 3 days in flower, and my lights are at 73%, which is the highest I've gotten them this grow. I doubt I'll get past 80%.Me too I don't get to 100% I'm at 60% 3 weeks into flower now 16" away I can't give them any more without frying my leaves, The last grow I cooked them this time I'm going easy....leaves look healthier now at 3 weeks than last time....I'll adjust upwards but I can only raise the light 2-3 " without taking off the hangers.
Maybe it wasn’t a lowercase L, but an uppercase i instead…Must've got his degree from the Al Bundy School of Agriculture hence the degree in "Algriculture"

I can start upping it now at 3 weeks as I feed more, I've done much better with both my GG and gelato this time...more food less light and they are still green, I had a lot of yellow and I ended up pulling them and scrapping them just after 4 weeks my last run with them.It seems you have to be running CO2 to get the most out of LEDs.

I've been adding a lot of nutrients this grow. I'm not getting the burn that I was getting in previous grows. Last grow I barely got past 60% at the end of the grow.
We have academics like Bugbee that fight hard to do away with some of the prevalent myths that's right. Well, they're gonna make LEDs even more efficient, maybe 30-40% higher output, and then the darkreds will have the highest photon flux of what plants crave ;)They just figured out far red.

I was hoping the idea was to hoist your light up there and leave it , adjusting the “distance “ by just changing the intensity to match distance equivalent at 100%this thread got me thinking about led manufacturers height specs.
when they say 12" or 18 or 24 or whatever they are talking at 100% power, so why have a dimmer?
does a led light not put out full light spectrum at say 50% or does it require 100% power to get every spectrum from the light?
newb here and that just popped into my beer soaked brain
I think it's about plant size and how much light it can't handlethis thread got me thinking about led manufacturers height specs.

Most of us pre dimmer growers did it that way but with dimmers you can get a nice balance of light fan and intensity.I was hoping the idea was to hoist your light up there and leave it , adjusting the “distance “ by just changing the intensity to match distance equivalent at 100%
Actually the opposite. The farther the light is from the canopy the more light gets to the edges but reduces light energy overall.Closer the light the more area coverage apparently
You need to shade that thermometer at centure if the room so direct light don't hit it or it will read fake high temps and fake low humidityI’m running 4 315w cmh lights. Strain is Stardawg a couple different phenos. I was using calmag + while In the height of the deficiency @4-5 ml. Now for maintenance I’ve been alternating between regular calmag and the plus @1.5-2 ml per gallon. My temps were at 76 but they weren’t happy with that. Now I run about 81-82 and they love it. But still I have some leaves here and there that look like mag def. my max feed has been 1.2ec but feed everyday at about 1.0 at least once sometimes twice a day. Runoff is in line. Should I bump the calmag dose?
I can imagine an xy graph with power on one axis and distance on the other. I wonder what the plot would look like. Would it be linear?I was hoping the idea was to hoist your light up there and leave it , adjusting the “distance “ by just changing the intensity to match distance equivalent at 100%
