You guys seem very knowledgeable can i ask an led question this light is 8x cree 3950's@550w/dimmable hung in a 4x4 mammoth tent they are roughly 6ft tall tent its on a lightrail mover.
How close would you hang it at various stages i dont think i can even use it full power in veg.
OK...you have mentioned it a few times and I'm too damn lazy today to look it up...What is the Emerson effect? Been growing for 30+ years but I don't get out much...kind of an old hippie living in the local ridges. What exactly is it?:cool:In my case it’s a combo of the shortened photoperiod and using far red leds to simulate the Emerson effect.
My best results is the overlap area between a MH and a HPS system. I'm adding some extra blue to the finish this year to see if I see any difference.That is a real interesting point. But hps has limited blues and no uv really compared to sunlight or cmh.
So maybe hps increases flowering time. Because i ran 3 rounds of 3 known cuttings to test.
By the way.
Best results for quality and yield were using both hps and cmh overlapped.
Still dialing it in. Last harvest 7.2oz in 8cuft or pure fire.View attachment 862866Green Crack a little fluffy but a great smoke.
Thank you. Cant wait till I iron out the wrinkles.View attachment 862869
I have a Sonoff 4ch for 110v ac and a Sonoff Pro 4ch for 12v dc and a Storm controller to ramp up and down. Cobs are 4 Cxm22 90cri 3000k and 4 Cxm22 90cri 3500k.View attachment 862937 View attachment 862938
Its a good conversation. You have the right attitute! Better than mine. Lol. I tend to argue. :)
I did both. Read for likely 1000’s of hours by now and have been growing for 5 years perpetually. Also have worked in the black market with commercial growers since the 80’s. Just never gardened before i got my medical card here in michigan.
When i joined the forums about 3 years ago i took some clones and tested all the main topics. Flushing to different light bulb types.
And all my results match the university agriculture info. For example. The university of michigan has been testing indoor grow lighting for years. They are now testing discreet colored diodes and specific growth.
Blue helps more with with compact leafy growth and continued plant health and red helps more with elongation and flowering.
The hortilux super hps is said to have 25% added blue and did better for resin production in my room than a cheap plantmax hps.
When i added a blue mh to the super hps resin went up even more. But so did leafier plants and buds. And yield went down.
Cmh further reduced yield. The mh was a 600w. But also helped keep plants shorter and greener.
I think 2 600 hortilux hps and one phillips 315 3100k for a 4x8 area would be about perfect for flowering.
Or of course a similar ratio with led. Which i bet 3000k setups are close to.
Wow, nice review. But do I understand it corectly? Adding more blue spectrum for flo, let's say 5000k will give me higher thc level but less weight? And do U recomend it?
What about adding far and deep reds to 3000k cobs? It will rise rasin producion also, but without less weight effect?
So all reds is for flower initiation only? So no sens to use it? I thought that better spectrum will give better weed? What do U meen with initiation? If I want flowers, I turn the lights into 12/12, no need for other initiation here...
So there is no sens to adding blue or red to spectrum and mix of 3000k and 3500k is just perfect for ower plants?
