Hi all,
Sorry for my english wich is not as good as i wish it to be... ;)
i've read some "growth diaries" based on LED, and was really impressed by some work.
I'm really beginner in indoor growth, i did some outdoor few years ago, so i expect to not be a nOob at all. ;)
I'm actually making an installation like this :
Box:
Hortibox : 1.20m X 1.20m X 2.00m (1.2m = +/- 48" = +/- 4ft) ;
(2m = +/- 79"= +/- 6.5 ft),
hope it's clear for you
Light:
2 X SpectrapanelX144 from Floraled wich is quite new product released 1 month ago...
( )
(Sorry the link is in french but i think you can easily understand the technical specifications, floraled and bloomled are famous brand here in france and in europe, they are closely working with Phillips wich seem to be a serious manufacturer in LED technology)
The power consumption is about 144W each for 48 X 3W Led, each led has a reflector and lense system to reduce the yield of light to 90°/60° to increase penetration of the light.
One thing i don't undernstand when comparing to other led system like 357 Magnum is about the power consumption, but maybe i've got bad infos on that, my panel with 48 LEDs has a 144w consumption and the 357 Magnum with 119 LEDs has a 180W but both use 3W leds (Oo),maybe someone can shed some light on this? ;)
At term, i'd like to use a second hortibox with the same size.
I will begin in anycase in earth, and maybe later try others methods if everything goes fine.
My questions are :
-do you think my installation with one hortibox is viable ? Quite sure, it will but i'prefer that someone confirm that...
-do you think i can use only one unique floraled SpectrapanelX144 system in my hortibox ? so i can have two identical box with the same LED system.
-The led system come with a dimmer fonction, so that i can put more or less blue or red light, i understand that each color are specific to the plant period ( veg or flowering ), but do you need to mix the both light a little during those periods ? i've seen posts that's say that...
Maybe this question has already an answer somewhere on the forums, so don't take notice of it.
-I'm thinking about buying Air Pots, what do you think of them ?
i will surely start with 10 plants, in one or two of my already bought hortibox, i'm thinking about using 10 X 3L Air Pots first and 10 X 10L Air Pots after.
Do you think, if i only use one of my hortibox, i will be able to put all those 10L Air Pots in it ?
I really thank you for the time you will spend on my message, and sorry if those questions seems stupid, finaly i'am really a nOob ;)
p.s if you see really horrible sentence in my message, don't hesitate to correct me i will edit my message... lol
