    questions about different color leds

    Precisely. The picture links are borken, but you can easily Google what he's talking about; everything 100% all of the time. I mean, are you telling me if there was an LED with that spectral distribution WITH​ high efficiency you wouldn't use it? You'd be crazy.

    questions about different color leds

    LEP, despite drops in spectral output at 425 and 475, is almost identical to natural daylight. If it wasn't a grand for a couple hundred Watts I'd probably be growing under one of those.

    What led is best value for small grow

    Yea, I believe he was talking about the conversion process of the floodlights. Hey, the grow looks great so far, glad to hear it's working out. And a 30W fixture? Very cool. Did he say how much he'd charge you? Is he willing to negotiate spectrums and stuff? People might be interested in this...

    7 plants under 400W ASTIR LEDs in Hydro-Aero System

    The only thing I'm worried about is the heatsink core is rather bendable. You could easily mount the heatsink core onto a quarter sheet baking pan with JB Weld for about another $5, though. Slightly better thermal management, perhaps, but more over a much more durable panel. Pretty cool. Wish I...

    7 plants under 400W ASTIR LEDs in Hydro-Aero System

    Ha! How many LED's are on that PCB w/o a heat sink? Cheap Chinese stuff? Doesn't run hot at all? That's pretty funny, well played.

    Woot! Awww yea, here we go.

    2nd attempt. 40W Homebrew / Coco / AF

    100% strength nutes would most likely do more harm than good at this point. Maybe 10%. Not right now, though, ease up some and let them do their thing for a week. Fasting is better than feasting. Lookin' good, though. Come on, big yields, big yields. :weed:

    Multichip LED, Remote Phosphor - Guess who it is.

    Yea, pretty much. I've been cutting away "rolled" leaves/?petioles? and coincidentally this has increased the light on those new branches considerably. Also, I've bent the top 4-6" almost completely horizontal which I would guess hasn't done much except force those leaves to resituate themselves...

    Nope, you're understanding me. You think LST will prohibit me from tying the branches up once I move it outdoors and fruit gets big? I didn't think it'd be a big deal. :/ Anyway, here's a shot of the Lil' Cheese, I forgot to post one of her.

    Multichip LED, Remote Phosphor - Guess who it is.

    Wow. I feel dumb. I was thinking it seemed like quite the paradox, but figured maybe you had it growing for a bit under a different light, or something? I didn't know... Looks like a cool little plant, though, hope it turns around. As for Kid, did some more reading. I think what I have is...

    Multichip LED, Remote Phosphor - Guess who it is.

    Fuggin' sick. Your plant's gonna out grow mine pretty soon, it looks huge for how young it is. Looks awesome heckler, and thanks for the info. When you get time you should post a natural color photo of her. So far Kid has three itty bitty tomatoes that he's working on, with a couple more...

    Multichip LED, Remote Phosphor - Guess who it is.

    Hrm, you might be onto something, boogie. You can either use a burette for the drip system, or you can just have a sponge soaking up water from one of those self watering dog bowls like I mentioned. How would this be implemented in a tent? Am I that out of it right now? Good news, though, I...

    Is it possible to take apart a UFO grow light and rebuild in a custom shape?

    The LED's themselves, not much, the cabinet shouldn't get out of control just from the LED's assuming your air exchange rate is where it needs to be to draw fresh air to your plants, especially since I see you've got CFL's in there now. The drivers will produce as much if not more heat than the...

    Multichip LED, Remote Phosphor - Guess who it is.

    I thought about sponges actually! I can't believe you get RH up to 45% with a tray of sponges, though, that's insane. I saw a little instructable where a guy used like a self watering dog bowl, sponges, some disposable tupperware, and a little case fan to make his own swamp cooler on the cheap...

    Multichip LED, Remote Phosphor - Guess who it is.

    Yea, not exactly sure how to deal with that. Highest it gets is 26%. I'm hoping once the Chiesel gets bigger (and I get a clone of it running) humidity will rise. I've thought about building a swamp cooler, I can open the vents to raise ambient temperature a bit so it wouldn't get too cold if...

    Multichip LED, Remote Phosphor - Guess who it is.

    Wow, just saw your edit. Sorry, I'm way late on this one. No, they have "small" one's that only cool 70W (I think that's the smallest form that they are available in). I just mean that some have the fan mounted vertically like my SuperMicro. I had to think a little on how I was going to hang it...

    That burnt up Acid (pic 2) has some pretty cool growth, imo. I'll keep my eye on that one. And the Purple Haze ain't no slouch either. Btw, what did you toss? The Pineapple express, or one of the Acids? (What is pic 3 of?)

    Awesome tips, thanks man. Will be heeding the advice, 'cause I sure don't know what I'm doing.

    How loud is it? 10W for the fans seems like a bit much, right? I know what you mean. "Hey, add this option on to your Caravan for just $169.99. You wave your foot under the ass of this car and it magically opens the hatch." Dude, that motion sensor probably cost you 20 cents. Wait, you're not...

    Multichip LED, Remote Phosphor - Guess who it is.

    Yo yo yo, that's .08A, right? And you know I'm using CPU coolers for all three my spotlights? And get this, they even started jacking the price up on CPU coolers, it's crazy. Search eBay for like "120W LED heat sink," or maybe it was 200W, I can't remember. Looks like something that's worth...
