Who Else Runs Spydrx-plus By Fluence?

[Leew421]

Just curious on who else runs these lights or the other variations they offer. So far my experience has been excellent. It out performs any other light I have run. These run 6 inches above canopy and very cool. It's a true 4x4 light and the adjustable blades are amazing. You can tilt the individual lights on axis. I also added in a 4 foot uv setup onto them. I got 4 lights tucked in. I run two of these currently and will be getting a 3rd next month for veg room. Right now I'm using my old leds in veg. I use a platinum p600 and a t5 setup for my seedlings and clones.

This was when I got the fixtures installed. The uv bulbs came in the next day

I have a one off from BML (pe-Fluence) I chose the spectrums which the X mimics. Mine is a 6 bar SPDR600 (360w)

Here it is in action. Pic of top and bottom. Cube is 19" on centers

I made the switch to spydrx plus from gavitas. I love them as far as heat and everything but still trying to dial in a few things as I have never grown under LED before. But all I can say is wow, these lights are amazing. 2 harvests under my belt with them and my plants has never been so frosty!! and that electric bill was looking mighty fine as well!!

For a first post you sure cover all the marketing triggers.

40 Watts???
That there is some big time inflation.

Looks good but you have the lights far away

yeah I have gavitas on the left side of the room that are not seen here so I have them raised a little higher. lights in the back could be lowered slightly tho now that you mention that

I rock about 6-10 inches off tops

its a learning curve for me using these LEDS, I think I need smaller plants with a more even canopy? I'm so used to gaviatas and 5-6 foot tall plants

 

[Leew421]

For sure. They have a lot of penetration. I have hit almost 3 bows on one light

 

[Leew421]

You can have big plants too. My grow style lends to less veg time but I'm about to swap it up. I got my last run in the staging area now and have 4 more weeks left or more till they go in so they will be huge by then. I'm changing to a single cola plant grow next. I'll be doing 36 on a 4x4 table under one light. I have 2 plus lights for flower and alrenate the tables to get a harvest every month. In veg I use the non us Spydrx and also use 2 4x8 t5 fixtures on the other side. My goal is to hit 3 a light. I was close when I ran some skywalker kush. I ran 16 in 3 gallon

Pretty hard to adjust/lower them in that jungle

When you run multiple lights like that its better to keep them higher,The crosslighting has more benefit than having them closer.

 

[Leew421]

These lights are designed to be run that close

This raises a great question that I have been troubled with for some time.
The inverse-square law relates to a point source of light.
The geometry of garden lighting never even approximates this condition, and thus is of little use in positioning lights.
