Wow man those LEP's are kicking ass so far!! Been watching the show, but I gotta get my sub in now, and make my mark. Last I checked you had just flipped, and for 17 days in I'd say those plants look amazing, and promising. Do you know if Gavita has lamps that work in America? I'm confused but have not looked into it lately, but is there a unit compatible to run on 120v? Or 240v?
I dont mean to "stir" things up. Just looking forward to a LEP that will be productive. Im glad that there are no "final" specs because this means that there might be a chance of the spectrum being fine tuned for growing needs, the current lack of red and the need for HPS to be used is not ideal. Lets hope they up the wattage from 450w to 600w to really see something special. Although the current specs do look good, 45,000 lumens is double that of current model, thats in the ball park of a 400w hps.I know cba likes to stir things up but in reality there will not be (any) new model available on the market before August next year. There are not even final specs for a new emitter yeat and Luxim already changed the specs a few times. They show prototypes but they are not even near to pre production models. All our fixtures go through UL/CSA/CE/FCC etc. which is a long process too.
That really sums it up. Though to be precise you would need closer to SEVEN than six yeah if my math is correct? (7x 300 = 2100 / 6x 300 = 1800) Still early days though for LEP. Can only get better and come August, hopefully they will have something better on offer.- 1000W Philips 400V Double ended: 2000 micromoles
- 300W LEP: 300 micromoles
So you would more look at SIX leps to compete with 1000W HPS.
fantastic plants my friend. thx for sharing knownledge with us. knownledge is the only thing that doubles when it is shared
Absolutely no disputing that it appears to be a fantastic vegetation light. Imagine what could be achieved with a better tuned spectrum for flowering and a fair increase in power. Thanks for your reply and look forward to your end results.Thanks for all the kind words.
321' these plasmas are amazing. I would not be replacing all my veg systems with them if I did not like them. I had decided to do this only ten days into using them. As documented in this thread a few times.
Benefits are that I was able to soley veg under this 300w plasma. Nothing else. Filled the whole 1.5m x 1.5 m tent with full spectrum spread. All plants grew evenly even to the outer extremities. I would struggle to achieve this in the same size tent with a 600w mhal. I would normally be using a coupe of 600w for that space towards the end of veg.
I would normally also veg for 6 weeks for 9 plants. Here i have vegged for 30 days only and they seam over vegged. Lol.
The quality of the plant shines thru. And whilst led companies do indeed claim that led bud is betteer, from my extensive tests I would disagree. Most couldnt tell the difference between my hps v led bud, but I could.
The one thing you wont find gavita claiming is a load of bs hype like other manufactures of lights generate. Mainly because their background is real science which can indeed be followed up on and checked at their production facilities. At the end of the day, I know whom I would rather invest my money with. The r&d company of Philips and osram or the Plethora of Chinese companies that sell all these other new types of lights thru alibaba. Com.
Whilst gavita do not claim their plasma to be the best thing for flower. Mainly because nothing beats the par output per wattage input than a hps, what they do claim the LEP will do is 100% accurate and noticeable on the plants within a few days of getting the lights running.
I have already noticed my veg room electricity bill dropping, by half. Nice.
Reducing my carbon footprint. Caring for nature.
