Club 315w lec

[SensiPuff]

i run a couple of these View attachment 3912043 View attachment 3912044one of each max par bulbs.
$720 complete @ growers house
hydrobuilder said he would do a set for 700, but i got mine @ growers house.

Looks like you have the photon 180 side by side with cmh. Cob vs lec. Which light is putting out the danker buds?

hmmm...
i just got those lights & several more
so i cant say yet.
you should ask groerr he has lots of experience with cob & lec.
i run plc, timber, northern, nanolux, agromax uv, my hps & love em all,
but if i was gonna buy another light
i would get ahold of a quantum board.

3 or 4 lights for a 4x8?

You run the Agromax pure UV bulbs or the uv-A bulbs?

2000 watts is the maximum I would do in a 4 x 8. I currently run 1708 watts in my 4 x 8 area.

The think he means 315 LEC lamps. And 3 would work. 4 would likely yield heavy.

Oh my bad. No experience with LEC but hear great things.

I really like working with mine. I say it is 3/4 of a 600 hps for flowering footprint but is lighter and needs no air cooling in my room of air cooled 600's. And it feels and looks like sunlight. Even on the back of my neck. The plants take to it immediately from the fluorescent veg tent. They shy away from the hps for a day or too usually.

They all love the 600 Hortilux blue right away too but you have to watch the distance.

Interesting. So they emit far less heat than a 600 hps? Is there an LEC equivalent to 1000w hps?

They make air cooled and open 630's with 2 315's in 1 reflector.

It is always 1 degree cooler with just clip fans between the 315 and the canopy than my air cooled 600's but they also vent the room. They are not on their own loop.

I added another exhaust out but it only ever needs to be on low.

It is basically as cool as 315 watts of light bulb I guess. I could run an open 400 w hps or mh the same way I think.

Depends, do you want a kilo or 50 oz?

 

[thccbdhealth]

There's no real UV with the double jacket lamps, but they do produce tip top bud, especially the 4200k

Have you used the 3100k in flower?
Are you stating your findings are the 4200k flowers plants better then the 3100k?

There is a pair of vids on youtube by A grower that showed a cmh beat cobs and hps by 4% THC in his lab test.

It's the fuller spectrum and additional uv likely.

That's horrible news, I was thinking of getting COBs now that I don't have space for 315s, might have to reconsider since I loved the product I was getting with the 2x315w. I guess LEDs still have a long way to go.

Don't blame me

 

[rkymtnman]

Don't blame me

been running the blue daylight for a few days now. love it! plants seem to love it too. a bit bluer than the 4K LEC i have next to it. should be a good combo. gonna add a uvb T5 after stretch.

Ok. I will take the blame for that.

good blame for sure!

LEDs are massively over rated, all those efficiency numbers don't mean shit because their spectrum isn't proper, even white LEDs aren't full spectrum, they are a colored LED that has a coating over them(usually phosphor) to make them appear white. It is massively different than super heating a gas (like the sun or HID lights).

i have both, some cree3590s and a ss philips 315. both are great lights. I would recommend either. i dont see a difference in thc levels, but havent had a test done.

I've run CDM/CMH type lights for years and they do make the frost. I had heat problems, which COB LED solved. I'm growing the best quality ever with them.
