whats the color temp of the red induction that you'll be using? just curious, cause the lowest i've seen is 3500k, just wondering if you gotta hold of something lower down on the spectrum. this should be fun/educational for all the Indoor fans out there, curious as to "the next big thing" on the market for artificial lighting. Is there a reason why LED panel(s) are not being compared in addition to the HPS? has that already been tested or?....
anyhow, my chair is pulled up front & center for this one.
Hi Squarepusher!
We share something in common. I was browsing the threads and I saw that you picked up Alien Dog from PNC and I did the exact same thing last Saturday. G was really talking this strain up. I am trying to get my skills up to donate to the clubs and G said this was an awesome top shelf strain that would look really crystal-y. If I don't kill them, lol! (I have only been growing for about 3-4 months and taken a couple plants to harvest, so I am still at the newbie stage).
BTW, anyone reading this, PNC is awesome and G & Skylar are super knowledgeable so if you live anywhere close to Long Beach, I highly recommend paying a visit.
Anyways keep me posted on how they are doing and I will to the same with you! right now my stems are looking a little purply here and there but I think they're just adjusting to the new environment.
Feel free to PM me.
btw, I had never heard of those induction lamps. What are the pros over CFLs?
oh sweet, I didn't realize that the induction lights could replace hps in bloom. I am anxious to see how that works. I am having a terrible time keeping the heat down in my bloom room, not to mention nearly maxing out the electrical capacity of my tiny apartment. So I have been thinking about alternatives. LED is way too pricey and from what I've read can only be used for small SOG plants. I am so curious to see how induction does. Pulling my chair up :)
Square... Thought of something else.
I see you are running some sort of LP aero.
How Often is the sprayer on?
Are you getting the entire Net Cup wet with the Spray? If so you could be Soaking the rockwool to much, which will Cause very slow grow. I know from experience.
I have a 30 x 30 tent that I veg with a single 100 watt induction lamp and turn on a second one for flower/bud. The light penetration to the lower leaves is far better then the LED or CFL's that I've tried so my -kush- yield falls in the 300 grams p/m range.
I've been very happy with these lights. They produce very little heat, are less then 1/2 the watts of the HID combination's I was using, I'm not changing lamps every 6 months, and the spectrum peaks in the 300 and 700 nanometer ranges.
There's a good video on you tube; indagro that goes into the technology a bit but if you want to compare lumen output and PAR ck out their website on the bottom tabs. Go Big!
