Nothing fancy. Nice thing is it doesn't need to be on long and you don't need to push the leds hard so they can be passive cooled. Just a small driver...aluminum strip...square...or like captain Morgan used a nice floodlight case.I missed this "flower trigger" please point me to information. I can build one.
I think it would be a good idea. I'm still feeling all this out but so far I think a small amount is the right amount. Does seem to add extra vigor to plants.Also pos....
recommendations for adding 4 650 nm pieces? thinking two each 3cob bar.
Don't leave it on at night.
Unless you like stretch. Not sure why anyone would try that anyway....
I tried to clear that up for you...lol. I said something along the lines of this sh@t is potent and will grow hemp trees
I think you would be happy with the results... Especially the flower trigger. It would be nice to see someone running white only do a run with a little extra photoredcool. I got it. So maybe a 10w 730 covering the 4x4 for a minute after lights out. Then I could add two of the 660nm to each existing 3cob led bars.
This is the only photored I know of for sale on a mcpcb..cool. I got it. So maybe a 10w 730 covering the 4x4 for a minute after lights out. Then I could add two of the 660nm to each existing 3cob led bars.
Hey guys how do you all feel about the 5000k cobs? I was thinking two 5000k suplemented with 10- 3w 660nm reds(5 on either side with cobs in middle). Or would i be better off using something in the 4000k range along with the reds? Or maybe 2700-3000k supplemented with 3w 450nm blues? Got a pretty good idea for the design im just a little hung up on spectrum now. Just looking for a full-term seed to harvest friendly spectrum. Thanks!
Hey Mo,it depends if your running with lenses or reflectors. I'm running with open COBs and use neither and can get with in 6 to 8 inches. I think POS is running his with reflectors and has to keep more distance. For plants around 4' I like the bare COB but if your doing taller plants the reflectors make more sense for penetration.Hi Positivity,
You know I totally respect your grow knowledge and LED experience. I am not questioning your talent at all!
I just want to say respectfully that I think LEDs work much better from a greater distance. They are intense like lasers. Maybe try a comparison with one plant far away another midway distance and one close to see.
I have yet to determine the optimal LED distance. I know for vegging I was getting very tight growth during veg from a fairly high distance (3 feet). I have yet to try flowering.
Indicas grow up high in the mountains where there is less atmosphere and the UV and sunlight is more intense. There is so much yet to discover. I am loopy and need sleep...
I just added your Far red info to my grow encyclopedia.
Cheers,
Mo
