Pot is not sold by units of volume its by weight. If it was based on volume everyone wud be growing the biggest, fluffiest buds possible.
4x5Ok. 700w for what size space? 4x4?
It would be fun to see a side by side in three separate rooms. Since you're already using less power and less nutes on the led/cmh side, it would also be interesting to see if there are any differences in power consumption of AC. Like annual costs for each system. Add the bulbs to be exchanged regularly with cmh/hps compared to initial costs with led setup. Draw a line after a 5 year run.
The weight on the 630watt cmh compared to the 600 HPS was about 8 ounces over.you think I dont know this stuff?i know when one light outperforms another.be like you saying there is no comparison between a 400 w HPS and 1000 when clearly you will be able to see the difference.Pot is not sold by units of volume its by weight.

Ok. 4x5. 4ft x 5ft =20sqft. 700w ÷ 20sqft=35w per sqft.
put 700 watts of cob over a 4x5 and compare that to any 1000w hps bulb you have.Another thing is....u cant tell simply by the looks of the plants/buds. Theres no definitive evidence until it hits the scales.
Come on man really,your telling me the outside footprint is actually giving you the same as the center footprint and 6x6 on a de with no overlap is fantasy landOk. 4x5. 4ft x 5ft =20sqft. 700w ÷ 20sqft=35w per sqft.
W my de1000w i am covering 36sqft (6ft x 6ft). 1000w ÷ 36sqft = 27.7 w per sqft.
So, i am actually able to cover more sqft w less watts (from the wall)
Exactly my point.those big footprints are made for overlap.a single de 1000 is good to about a 5x5 with a concentrated reflector.its on nanolux website and gravita.they set those up on 5ft centers not 6 footView attachment 809520 View attachment 809521 View attachment 809522
Each row in the pix is 6ft x 12ft.
Pix to prove it. Notice the perfectly uniform growth side to side and end to end.Come on man really,your telling me the outside footprint is actually giving you the same as the center footprint and 6x6 on a de with no overlap is fantasy land
I know that what they say but the proof is in the pudding. Im runnin 1k de on 6ft centers w resultsExactly my point.those big footprints are made for overlap.a single de 1000 is good to about a 5x5 with a concentrated reflector.its on nanolux website and gravita.they set those up on 5ft centers not 6 foot
Bot when the last 2 feet of your footprint is in the shadows.get one 4x5 cob setup and you will single handedly fall in love with that technology.Ive looked into switching over to led extensively for the purposes of saving on electric and have come to the conclusion that i wud actually have to use more watts from the wall to cover the same amount of sqft
Any pics of 6 week flower?I really find it hard to believe that a de pulling 1200 watts from the wall not 1000 can grow buds on the outside as far as the inside.im using 1000 watt HPS in Raptors without glass (bare bulbs) and still get that hill effectI know that what they say but the proof is in the pudding. Im runnin 1k de on 6ft centers w results
I'd have to agree , 750 Watts of DE HPS over a 4x8 area with no overlapping lighting.I know that what they say but the proof is in the pudding. Im runnin 1k de on 6ft centers w results
Those 1000w DE are actually around 1200.thats what nanolux and gravita says.Any pics of 6 week flower?I really find it hard to believe that a de pulling 1200 watts from the wall not 1000 can grow buds on the outside as far as the inside.im using 1000 watt HPS in Raptors without glass (bare bulbs) and still get that hill effect
Yeah man that doesnt look like 4x8.lets see the short sideI'd have to agree , 750 Watts of DE HPS over a 4x8 area with no overlapping lighting.View attachment 809525 View attachment 809526
Im not entirely sure what ur asking/saying...? If ur asking if i think my light intensity is the same directly under the light as it is on the outskirts of the light then my answer is no i do not think so at all.Come on man really,your telling me the outside footprint is actually giving you the same as the center footprint and 6x6 on a de with no overlap is fantasy land
You cant just make up a footprint cause you say so.i can make my footprint a 6x6 under cobs by spreading out the heat sinks so your math didnt prove anything.there is no denying that led flat out produces more uol per watt.that is just a flat out fact.a significant increase.Im not entirely sure what ur asking/saying...? If ur asking if i think my light intensity is the same directly under the light as it is on the outskirts of the light then my answer is no i do not think so at all.
Ive already proven (mathematically) that i can cover a larger spread w less watts w a 1k de. So, now the argument/discussion wud naturally evolve into a question of gpw. So let me ask u, what r u averaging gpw?
