60 degree or 90 degree. 60 will give more intensity and penetration but less coverage area. Try this link to check out coverage areas. I previously misquoted the numbers but basically 60 degree lenses give double the intensity but half the coverage area. They are my angle of choice to get...

I veg with an ISIS 170 but similar set up for veg/flower mode. I alternated between full spectrum and veg spectrum every two days to keep them a bit bushier. Odor control I run a carbon scrubber on constant circulation inside the room. I run a sealed room with co2 and no cooling. Each...

I have two procyons and they work great for veg but cover such a small area that to get sufficient intensity for flowering you have to have lots on them and the cost is just ridiculous for a 100 watt led panel. I got okay results using two procyons over a 2x3 area which for $1200 is just plain...

Day 18 of Flower

I took my ISIS-1 apart. I unplug one power supply half the reds go down. I unplug another one, the other half of the reds go down. I unplug the third power supply, the blues go down. I'll take some pics

So much for keeping it simple :-) I do get that ac to dc conversion, espeically to very low voltages isn't very efficient so the series thing doesn't make that much sense but I'm gonna guess that this isn't a new problem and has been addressed in electronics applications many years ago. Will...

Most of the panels I've seen have multiple power supplies dedicated to red or blue to avoid mixing.

That is gonna be the interesting part. See who's still running in six months.

Well I'm no electrical engineer but electricity takes the path of least resistance so if you parallel wire an LED and Resistor the current goes through the path of least resistance (LED) unless it's burnt out in which case that circuit is then high resistance so it will go through the resistor...

Day 17 of Flower

Sounds like a plan amigo :-)

Anyone a Matrix (the movie) fan? Do you remember Agent Smith talking about the human condition... "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program." Kinda sums...

Hey KG thanks for stopping in on my thread.....your ladies are looking lovely. I think it's gonna get real crowded in there but better to have too much than too little :-) For sure well have to stay in touch and do the apples oranges thing...lol.

If your new growth started to curl I'd check your PH first

Yeah isn't that the kicker. If I hadn't been "lied" to out of the gate and thought I was buying 180 watt LED's I probably would haven't bothered either. Now I understand a bit more about it I make different decisions but given the lifespan of these units the marketing is probably best geared...

Yeah but their website still has the old advertising up. Spuzzum wasn't making that up. I got an email today from GrowPerfect that they are launching their new website and visa/mc are back up and running so hopefully they post actual ratings and realistic claims but with marketing being what...

Any idea what the lens angle is? Either way 9 inches really shouldn't isn't an issue with 1w LED's. If they are 120 or 135 degree lenses you could put them even closer

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. I ran an actual ammeter on both and the magum ACTUALLY draws 1.43 amps @ 124 volts so pretty much 180 watts and the ISIS 1 draws 1 amp so pretty much 120 watts. I don't have the FX-1 so can't comment on that. Whoever designed the panels nailed it. I'm happy...

About 14-16 inches.

Just you dude! Lol. Looking forward to some results. Those do seem like the cadillac.
