So they have more recipes that you can download per specific light the app also let's you share your recipes too which depends on the person just like anything ...I’m leaning on raging kush 2.0 out of the lights you mentioned.
Spectrum tuning seems like the future but I rather wait on research to catch up and educate. This light needs field tests. Just like tuning an engine involves running it for the right sound, idle, power.
Are Scynce’s programmed 5 phase flower recipes ideal, good enough? Wouldn’t tweaking the recipes for different strains make sense.
But tuning light spectrum seems complicated. Unless you want to experiment and risk bad results your left with playing up or down a few percent from the suggested recipe.
So you start researching online for spectrum recipes during 2021. Why would growers offer you their light recipes (Research and Development)? They will keep them as trade secrets or offer to sell it. After all the light industry has proprietary led spectrums so wouldn’t researchers/growers also protect their tunable spectrum recipe?
Whats the point really? To run the lights more efficiently by excluding some colors? Why not just let the plant take what it wants from a full light spectrum? Ok maybe you want to control plant shape and size, increase terps and resin, increase yield. To what extent will this occur? Marginal or significant?
Also u don't get more like w the roi 720 it just does more power and costs you more money.. ppf for a measurement is worthless as that's the measurement pretty much touching the diodes which u don't grow like that now ppfd is a much much better and accurate but still not perfect...
The 2.0 does 2.51umoles 1634ppf or 1050 ppfd which is a avg # which they have thee most even ppfd canopy on the market in the corners to the middle plus deeper penetration and for the 200 diff between the lights no questions asked 650w too
So it's more efficient , has 150w less power and amps and it has a better ppfd spread thruout the canopy plus the dopetastic optics they have....Not to mention full spectrum tuning and having full power for all tuning for that color...Not to mention better diodes and quality is 2nd to none period less larf which is more smokeable buds u get ...Plus their customer service and everyone who works their is amazing and more than happy to help not there to take your money and run ....And waterproof which if your not ipm and keeping up on sterilizing and cleaning your room after every grow it's only gna bite u in the ass later..And maybe even a entire crop ruined....
And if u run a mini split that better be getting foamed cleaned and steamed washed frequently too even after every grow too which most ppl don't know that either
Hi all
New to the forums, but long time lurker.
Looking for some feedback that falls more under objective then subjective, even though I know people get passionate about lighting and there's no black and white when it comes to lighting.
Budget isn't a concern, higher quality lighting/options is. I get that some of you swear by Alibaba QBs, HLG, Spider Farmer, etc, but I'm not interested to go that route. I've picked out my three finalist.
Setup:
Choices:
- 4x4 tent, hydro w/drip irrigation, well ventilated, yada yada. 6 plants. No co2 at this time, would consider for future grows.
From all my reading on these forums, I know this thread is bound to go outside of my above question, but let's try to keep it focused on these three models if possible. I know we have a great community of growers who are super passionate and helpful, hoping to tap into that for a well educated discussion and ultimate decision.
- (Two) Electric Sky ES300 V2 from Green Sunshine co. I'm super intrigued by the wideband spectrum, as I believe in the Emerson Effect. I've read some good success stories of early flowering and nice fat buds. The FR spectrum has value in my opinion. I also like the fact that they don't spike up the blue, causing plants to be too compact. Appears they dialed in the blue just right for a healthy stretch. Built-in dimming is a plus as well in case I need it. Nice helpful folks and customer service has been a pleasure so far.
- With that said, I'd love to hear from folks who have grown under these lights - specifically the V2 version of the ES300.
- I was originally looking at the Spydr 2x, but after talking with Fluence and asking a ton of questions, the 2x would be a bit under-powered for my needs and it appears that the 2p will still give me a healthy full spectrum without the need for co2. Of course co2 would be an added benefit one day. I like that they are made in the US, have great customer support, and PPFD gives respectable numbers. Seems like it'll give me great coverage in the 4x4.
- Late to my game is the Raging Kush from ScynceLED. Dug into a rabbit hole of research, and I'm intrigued by their spectrum tuning and reciepe building capabilities. Although one has to think, it that more so marketing hype than reality? I mean how many of us are true experts and know that this plant needs a 20% more blue or 10% less green? The idea is interesting though, as with all the other lights you are stuck with whatever the manufacturer deems the right spectrum. I like mid-level blues and greens, and heavier red with a touch of far red. That's why the ES300 is appealing to me, but if I can replicate the same spectrum here, this looks like a solid offering. Good looking par map too.
Any feedback/experience on the above would be greatly appreciated!
