Completely agree. Cost analysis-wise, it's kinda silly to get the latest, greatest.
There's plenty to work with in old gen stuff with a little tweaking of technique.
Such as NOT growing giant bushes in an aero system...
Viparspectra is still running 40% off all pieces. If you are on the fence, this is ending soon.
For sure.Led gardener is pretty great resource you said? They have the diy diagrams and reviews?

Thought you might be interested in this...Most of the new budget lamps use 3000 or 3500k diodes and 5000k. They say its for a “sunlight” spectrum but i think the 5k diodes are just cheaper

This is the SPD for the new Bridgelux EB Series Gen 3 Thrive
I was. Enough to go and buy some of those 4000K ones at 1AM. And flub my order. And then pepper in some of that 5000K to complete my order.
The measures on the red wavelengths for those high-mid CCTs are unlike what I've seen before. Admittedly, haven't looked too much.
Figure I'll just pepper in some far red if they happen to not suffice... but I have a hunch...
"Cost analys.. .blah. blah.b l.ah. Blah!" - some stupid smiling whale.
Anyway. I'll be testing them soon enough... I'm sure you'll see what I have to report.
Makes sense, for sure.I have been watching grows and builds since the beginning. I even stuck with the hlg and timber thread on riu from when they worked together on new tech.
What i see with led’s in general was way too leafy flowers even with 3k cobs and boards. But a good 2700-3k spectrum with the red and ir seems to improve the flowers bud/calyx ratio.
Same problem with my 315 cmh when run alone. Run with hps alongside much better results imo
other that that and the lower heat for my cold room and higher temps needed for growing they sure grow a lot more flowers per watt than my se hps.
Makes sense, for sure.
I'm just figuring and hoping with the even spectral range on these, I might see something a little more akin to what 2700/3000Ks produce while also achieving that squat structure from the blue end. And maybe the added penetration from the green... which is also nice and high on these.
IR's certainly a monkey on my back... would have done that first, but I want to fill out my footprint a little more first... only using 1/4 of my space right now.
Anyway, just an offbeat 5000K from what I've seen. Thought it was a neat little addendum here.
Any fixture with that design is going to perform in a similar manner. That is why you will see strip style lights. They have a better spread.This is some pretty shitty testing but according to this, at 12 inches with the 135w hlg it is 1400 ppfd in the center and only around 350 in the corners which really isn't too good.
F'sho.Any fixture with that design is going to perform in a similar manner. That is why you will see strip style lights. They have a better spread.

Smh, too much to consider.F'sho.
