And the reason I have the light further up then most people run them is because. Mike from GLH the makers of the spectra leds. did a test grow with lights at 11" and lights at 24" and the lights at 24" out produced the lights that where closer to the canopy. I believe the theory behind it is the different light spectrum need distance/time to blend before hitting the canopy. plus you get better footprint. There is a whole thread dedicated to this theory over at bubbleponics.
interesting ..
i have a the 240 veg unit..
wonder if the specs for distance are the same..
yes of course higher =more coverage
good thread..
Hi we are in week 7 of flowering with 2 BlackStar 500 W LEDS and 10 plants. They are looking healthy, and we are happy with them but this is our first grow with any lights (other than outdoors), so we don't have experience with HID's to compare it with. We are now looking at trying 90 watt Pro Source World Wide UFO's so we have some comparison. We don't know if we want to exclusively invest in more BlackStars before we try the UFO's. The 90 watt UFO's appeal to us because we can perhaps have better coverage over all. Anyways I am sure you won't be dissapointed, but if you are like us you will try to figure out what you can do to maximize your investment.
are you useing 2 BlackStar 500 W LEDS or 2 600 W BlackStars
What was the final yeald thanks
I am using 4 600 watt blackstars along with 1 1000 watt hps.
Damn that a lot of light in that room! Well if you are going that big maybe you should look into some Co2, that should give you a nice jolt in the yield department.
