but hey like u said lex lets get back to helping each other out!
great input lex i will def. keep that in mind.
skunkmasterflex im tryin to keep the peace as much as you are, thanks for stopping by thou!
Optimization is the term we are missing here.
The most/best product for the least input (mostly light, but all those additives are additive costs as well).
I believe the humans are natural scientists.
But nature can be confusing and counter intuitive.
And some things we hold as true, may be false.
I have never been more lost than when I was wrong about were I was.
I like this line of reasoning that attempts to optimize light to the needs of the plant.
Pulsed LED input might provide a window into this.
What I would be looking for is improved productivity, in the manner of light movers, but by using the easy on/off capability of LED lamps.
we are all farmers and should be able to talk to each other with respect.
thats good enough for me. thanks squiggly. nice of you to do that.
lets all do some serious brainstorming and shed some light on this subject and maybe we can find some kind of break-thru unknown to the rest of the farming community.
just from the few that have shed some insight in this thread, in my opinion, covered a good amount of info for me or us to take a first step on what we are trying to accomplish here.
i ran into this thread sometime ago when this subject wasn't in my mind, but the concept caught my attention.
its about 12-1 lighting is as follows: 12 hours lights on, 5.5 lights off, 1-hour lights on, 5.5 lights off, and repeat schedule.
some have reported no loss of yield while saving a good amount of energy. check it out
This is the old 12/1 schedule for veg, and I'm using it with good results right now. It saves power and allows for more light intensity without spiking the power bill quite so much.
