2 hrs in the morning and night that way I hit the switch 1 time a day...... I really wish they could have that on a timer but I allready asked for a QB made with red and Blue..... in it for me........How long and when are you using the UV?
+1I too have been shopping "around", at local hydro shops, online etc.
Spec wise, I got from Kingbrite, delivered, a fully comparable product for third the cost.
If the name brand lasts 5 years and these last 3 I'm still ahead in the game in my view!
@Mr.jiujitsu would be better at this one!Ok guys, I'll be setting my lights up in my grow thread here shortly.
But first,, I need opinions from you qb board guys.
I'm setting up for a 80"×36" canopy.
I have 4 - 25"×7.75" panels. Or a single panel footprint of 50"×15.5".
My length isn't critical but what do youuns recommend as a space between the 7.75" width of panels for full coverage/penetration?
I hope that made since.
TIA
So after looking at the HLG 550 v2 R spec panel, which basically is what 2 of these panels create and which is said to lite a 5'×5' area are approximately 4 1/2" apart.
I'm thinking these are specs aimed at tent type reflective environment which I don't have.
But I think this should give best performance.
So now to drill the Robo Sticks to mou t my custom carbon fiber mounts.
Yep..I use them for my bath tub grow.If you are able to utilize them in your grow area, mylar emergency blankets would give you the reflective environment. You could use them as either wall cover or reflective curtains. They are cheap and reflective.
The only stupid question is the one that is not asked!Ok, red LED question.
I just fired my panels up, V2, with reds switched off. I'll be vegging for a few weeks before turning back.
When are Youuns adding the reds?
Do ya start hitting them with P prior to turning them on or when ya turn them on?
Or is this a stupid question and run em?
The only stupid question is the one that is not asked!
Mine are always on, (older model) but they are in my flower tent. If I had the ability, they would be off in a veg tent, but that's me.
If you haven't already.....Google The Emerson Effect.
Red also makes them stretch.Yes, even with the HPS / MH difference the red spectrums are what make our buds swell.
I agree with leaving them off till flower.
I'll be going from T5's to these so that's redder already.
