They dont show any signs of being over-litt to me, and they are all same-ish looking. Maybe a somewhat slow started strain? One way forward would be bumping the light up a slight bit for a few hours and see what they look like after. But only for as long as you can monitor, no full light cycle...

Grow with whatever you like man. If youre growing bunk weed under leds try better leds. I have no qualms with HID bud, its also nice and i will happily admitt that the standard growleds of today dont give good enough results for my taste. But that only means build something better to me. Youve...

If this is mainly a problem on max dim just keep a switch or wago on the dim circuit: cut the circuit and it will default to max output. Good luck

If youre getting purpling then try a bit higher temps.

Fave of the whole album :)

Rainwater can usually substitute RO if you have a way to collect it. Ec/ph pen is a good tool. Well water can be even worse than tap.

I call bullshit on their ppf/w spec until they show independent testing. Diode count, price and 3.2 per watt does not line up, and the practice of up-marking specs is very common between the cheaper led makers.

The new hortilux nxtled looks more like a greenhouse supplementation light; for high hanging in tall greenhouses more so than in a tent.

Black dogs latest is not looking bad with big efficiency bump to 2.2 ppf per watt. However, it still seems low to me for a premium light: main part of its spectrum is cold whites (around 3.1 or so) and the reds should have +4 ppf/w if using reasonably up to date osram reds; they should be able...

Also US based/tarrif affected? HLG has good solid us made lights with good after sales but at fairly premium price.

This sounds like a pro op. You should give a bit more info for good advice. How much weight can you hang from the ceiling, how stable is it? How do you control climate? Venting? From lung room or outside? If outside is it predominantly cold or somewhat hot? How high can you grow? Do you have any...

Saving on CO2: that just means less photosyntesis. The stomatal regulation of of green light quoted by mammoth just means that green reverses the blue response, stomatas have less tendency to keep open, in my book not really a good thing.

Depending on the the driver you may be able to just switch the dimer. The driver itself shouldnt have a problem with 5%.

Very nice thermal specs on hose boards.

Its interesting to see that they still use 630-640nm diodes for their reds. T, youre an oldtimer do you have any opinion on 640 vrs 660 for red supplement?
