Opinions on light for small space (32×32)

Cheap. Only 125 lumens per watt minus initial efficiency loss vs 200 for the led. More than 62.5 percent more efficent

Yea yea I see the numbers all the time but I could still pull way better/bigger buds off a 400 than the majority running led. Keeps me in business though so you guys do you

Tell me how much can you get of a 400?

That's even better then. Aren't those v1's 100V boards? or no, they're 48V. There were some 100V boards out there though I just can't remember who sold them.

HLG 288's are 54v.

HLG 288's are 54v.

They are 52ish at max iirc, but if you run them on low you can use a 48A driver and increase the voltage a bit. But it would be pushing the driver a bit.

God I hope they send out a decent product.

Me too. If it lasts me a year it will have at least paid for itself in electric savings. If not. well my 4 bulb T5's have been getting the job done for 6 years.

Technically that's true, but not what HLG suggests.

This is correct but you need to look up voltage related to current: its between 48-49v for 60ish watts im suggesting. They state add 1 volt just in case. The hlg240-48A will go up to 52ish V which give you some head room. Normally (iirc) the qb kits are sold with b drivers which dont have this function so for that type of driver of course you need 54B. My solution gives you a few more watts and also lets you set the voltage on the driver to keep you boards safe in case one failed and push the current to the rest.

Neither solution is wrong, but one will give you more watts for no real disadvantage

Didn't you say they are definitely LM301B?

 

[OneHitDone]

What kind of cal/mag woes are you referring to? I'm growing dwc if that helps. I'll check out the light!

Sorry I overlooked your question brother. As you can see the ones accusing me of being a troll are the ones who instigated an argument to begin with.
As to your question, just look at most any led grow on this site and pay close attention. You can also look through one of brother @hybridway2 's threads and he demonstrates led nutrient issues quite well..

And yes, you can ignore OHD, while he is right that leds can manifest calmag issues which can be a pain to chase down if your not used to it, as you can see he is more interested in arguing with people from his troll history than actually answering your questions and helping. Also a lettuce grower mainly afaik.

pm you? dont flatter yourself, i wouldn't wish anyone waste their time like that.



pahaha! dont act like you dont peep my diary. you know my last run is where you set your goals.

i'm still waiting to stumble across someone that values your opinion...you know anyone? like seriously? i'll wait.

ive seen people on other forums talk about how much of a twat you are. youre bordering on sCammie status.

now run along, lil guy.

I value OneHitDone's opinions & so should others.
You guys are rough & wrong.
Calling someone a Scammie is worse then saying Faggxt or Cxnt.
Like, it takes a foul, super kind of hate to say shit like that! What makes you & Psurgo so mad? I don't get it? Dude only shares his experiences or opinions. They are not false or bad info. By any means. And you know as well as i, allot of people cry Cal-Mag when switching to led.
Its a learning curve for even the biggest or experienced growers.
Can't we all just get along?

 

[lukio]

im not dragging this out, hybrid. ive got him on ignore for being a massive prick and trolling the led section for years.

- he talks loadsa shit and insults RIU family members.
- he follows me, literally, one of my "followers" and tags me in bullshit when he knows i dont like him.
- he sucks off Stephen for a light then continues to talk shit about led deficiencies cause he clearly cant grow under led and takes it out on anyone that'll listen to his crap cause he's sour.
- he promoted a RAT and sCammer to THIS community.

i could go on but he's a waste of time and id prefer to just look at weed pics, man.

Just to set shit strait right quick.
-Joked on one guy who had a family member in a public pic. UhDuh!
-Anyone not following you is obviously missing out.
-Pretty sure he introduced Stephen to GML if my memory serves me right.
Blame me for LedDefficiency not him. Tell that to all those who posted about their led switching issues.
-None of us Promoted Scammie dude. We were interested in the science (or lack of) behind her burple/rgb spectrum. Big claims should be called out on. We ended up taking the risks & hits for this community. Saves others from making the same mistake later.
Use of an object is not promoting. Is Shane promoting every light he tests?
Spreading lies & rumors is not nice.
God does not like Ugly.

 

[lukio]

you're so easily led.

im not doing it, man. this place has heard enough of my bloody opinion.

1-31-2020 OneHitDone Prediction - @lukio purchases and promotes Spider Farmer SF1000
Within 6 months more horror stories come out about burned out diodes and poor warranty service - Lukio keeps his smug little snowflake nose in the air and side steps his support and recommendation of said product. Meanwhile continues to accuse others of promoting a product which there is not 1 single instance of on this very website where he makes his claims. Learn to comprehend, follow, and spread truth my friend!

They sell their kits with A type drivers, not B.

Are people still thinking led deficiency is a thing in 2020? It took me all of a month or so to figure out that 3 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit of extra ambient temp and all the 'deficiencies' went away... wow. So complicated.
