Any chance you can show me where? That's completely new to me. I know for blurples but full spectrum it should absolutely be fine.Here’s what I got. Looking up about using it with LEDs says doesn’t really work as well. I’m just trying to adjust my potentiometer so I don’t fry my girls in the shorty tent I got. Not much room at the moment so I’ll have to wait to add the extension but in the mean time I’m gonna scrog the hell out of these girls!
random question @LEDhead are those kessils in your posts from 2011????Here’s what I got. Looking up about using it with LEDs says doesn’t really work as well.

Some reviews and other forums and this from LumiGrow site....Any chance you can show me where? That's completely new to me. I know for blurples but full spectrum it should absolutely be fine.
I have the same light you do and I use a lux app all the time surprisingly it pretty dam close.
Probably older but they weren’t any good thank god I won them in a contest and didn’t pay the $300+ for each one and that carrier LOL!!random question @LEDhead are those kessils in your posts from 2011????
Yes but we don't need to know all that, the manufacturer provides it. All we need to know is the intensity and while it may not be accurate enough for a lab setting it's more than accurate enough for the home growerSome reviews and other forums and this from LumiGrow site....
Similarly, light meters that measure in “lux” tell us very little about a lamp’s plant-growing power. The light sensors in lux meters have their own spectral response curves which may over- or under-measure light at various colors. This is why lux meters usually have different settings for “sunlight,” “fluorescent” and “incandescent” lamps. Again, because lux meters are meant for measuring the amount of light usable by humans, they don’t tell us anything about how plants will respond. Plant biologists define light in the 400nm to 700nm spectral region as “photosynthetically available radiation,” or PAR. The unit for measuring PAR, micro-mols per second (μmol/s), indicates how many photons in this spectral range fall on the plant each second
If its the model I am thinking of, (which that color is pretty unique) you would need alot more spectrum than that. I use that light to grow one particular strand of algae in saltwater... whoever told you it was good for cannabis was not very smart, but they make different stuff that is SICK and I am thinking of doing some experiments.Probably older but they weren’t any good thank god I won them in a contest and didn’t pay the $300+ for each one and that carrier LOL!!
was not smart enough to do hydro so I messed them up bad but yeah I won these and 4 H350 magenta and the holder but it wasn’t good either.

I build an in the tank algae scrubber.. a HOB algae scrubber and a waterfall algae scrubber over the years my nitrates were never higher than 5ppm on this tanks. Not good for planted tanks lol only my discus breeding tanks since they are so sensitiveYea thats a refugium light. We use them underneath our tanks to grow microalgae... you might see people use them in algae scrubbers.... Kessil makes some really nice stuff, and they developed an app to change spectrums with your phone. They are not cheap, but one day I will put together a dope little kessil box
I built one for a seahorse tank once because they are super picky too... crazy how well they work. I dont run ANY chemical filtration in any of my tanks. Just chaetomorpha in a sump with one kessil over it, some carbon, and some other tweaks that noone cares about. I have crystal clear water at all times.I build an in the tank algae scrubber.. a HOB algae scrubber and a waterfall algae scrubber over the years my nitrates were never higher than 5ppm on this tanks.

Same... No carbon ever. Filter floss, filter foam, ceramic and purigen for polishing the tannins since my discus tank used driftwood and peat to buffer phI built one for a seahorse tank once because they are super picky too... crazy how well they work.
