the last page.What page is it on
I have a lux meter and at canopy level u get at least 50000 lux anywhere in the 4x4. In the middle u get over 70000 and this is well over 2 ft. If u take a lux meter to a 400+ at 18 inches it reads about 120000 lux so they did not lie about there intensity. This light is so bright if u have it 18 inches from canopy u risk bleaching@Djloud
i believe you will be pleasantly suprised at the results comparitive to the SK...I do like the SK...but I am starting to realize that the owner isnt....how do I say this ....maybe as honest as he states.....point 1 ....the LED's that he has been running against...are literally bottom of the garbage pale.....In one of his videos he states that with the illumitex I believe he couldnt find any specs on how far to hang above canopy and he states that the company has no info....On there website it states specifically for cannabis 18-24" above canopy.....when he does light test he only test below center....never on the outer edges where there is significant dropoff on many lights but for some....not so much...he acts like he dosnt know much but at the same time super arrogant like he knows everything.....There are alot of people out there that know what they are doing....one of the reasons why that company hasnt been as big a hit as it should already be....
IMO....if they were really as badass as stated...the entire community would be on board
The only thing i dont like is the fact that its round. U do get a dim spot at the middle at the rear. But even the buds in that area are developing very wellI have a lux meter and at canopy level u get at least 50000 lux anywhere in the 4x4. In the middle u get over 70000 and this is well over 2 ft.

@Djloud
I believe he ment 4x8
12 cxb would be way more then needed for a 4x4
6 cob per 4x4
Sounds right to me im going to build one and put it aginst my sks should be fun
All good man. I was an apprentice to a professor greengenes(gg's garden was our collective), he called me little GG, but tags was what I was way before any grow forums and used for a while on them. Eventually he dubbed me the GG and the garden, so then I went with it and it was a better alias. But here was already taken, and the guy is very cool and been around long time, so I will always be tags420 here.@tags420
nice to meet you as well....sorry wasnt beating around the bush as I didnt know you were he.....in any case Congratulations and good prosperity on the light venture and I will be purchasing one in the near future....as soon as I can accumulate enough money....
oh and I was just looking up the 3590 and cree states that it runs at a solid state 13,200 lm ....I know you dont like to measure in lm but for anyone running HPS....one COB running 13,00 lm and you are gonna be running say 8 at close to 60% efficient....to me....is insane
@Djloud
I also see you are running hps
I never said they lie about there #'s he just tries to discredit other companys with fudgy measurements.....showing his hand under a light dosnt tell me how many photons are actually reaching the plant
Photons matter much more then lumens or lux...those measurements matter for hps maybe but not for led....
I am in no way trying to discredit SK....but I would like them to run a test similar to this
since he has all the equipment
sticking your hand under a light and saying "look at my hand it looks and feels like the sun" dosnt really mean shit honestly
you see there is this reverse square law deal blah blah blah
Without the hps on. That hps is not influenceing the sk pkants@Djloud

I have 2 sk side by side and one gavita going the other way in the room. It could possibly influence one light but what about the light not getting any hps light. Them are the buds closest in my pics. They are all sk. I promise. That gavita is way too far away to make a diff on the sk plants. Its hard to tell from the pic. Ill have to take more pics i guessthe only problem I have is that any time you run 2 differ lights in the same room it will always influence...if you were to run the SK in a isolation booth...things may be differ.....just food for thought...in no way doubting you.....just trying to enlighten to the possibility.....the only time I have seen anyone having successful runs on strictly led would be Realstyles Tags420 and growmou5..........with no undue influence to speak of i.e. anything else running in the same room....if I can see the hps bouncing off the back wall...i am sure your plants can more then pick up those photons
one reason I have a problem with John Berfelo's youtube grows...if you know who that is... he has a SK400 a cmh315 and a gavita in the same room...dosnt work...just below the light may be only one light but those photons are bouncing everywhere....this isn't pinpoint laser we are talking here you know what I mean...just food for thought...not trying to be a dick
In my opinion john berfello is not a good representation of what an sk can doI have 2 sk side by side and one gavita going the other way in the room. It could possibly influence one light but what about the light not getting any hps light. Them are the buds closest in my pics. They are all sk. I promise. That gavita is way too far away to make a diff on the sk plants. Its hard to tell from the pic. Ill have to take more pics i guess

After checking the spreadsheet the SK is at most 35% efficient and on a side note I've met Brandon from Spectrum King at a Max Yield indoor expo last year. I know where SK is I used to go to high school down the street from where they are at right now lolHps off
Yes from my panel and it's hard to say how many sq ft per cob because you can use 10w per sq ft to veg and 25w to bloom it's up to how you want your setup.@REALSTYLES
that is with your cob grow correct?
by they way....do you happen to know the individual footprint per cob??
There is no way an sk is only 35% efficient. I have a light meter and it puts out a ton of light.After checking the spreadsheet the SK is at most 35% efficient and on a side note I've met Brandon from Spectrum King at a Max Yield indoor expo last year.

this is one plant 8oz after drying

I already broke down the best case scenario for an SK in post 229.There is no way an sk is only 35% efficient. I have a light meter and it puts out a ton of light.
