Actually just red an interesting and fairly technical article on IR for flowering and it's not a stress thing. More that its the balance of red and IR that affects the two types of phytochrome which triggers growth or flowering. The idea being that any parts of the plant in direct light get...

Hey Serapis in reference to you IR comment could you comment on the below information that I'm quoting from an article by Ed Rosenthal in Canabis Culture. I have always been under the impression that IR was involved in flowering but not in photosynthesis so didn't quite understand why. Your...

Yeah I really like how they overlayed the human eye over the PAR. Basically shows how the light that is best for plants we can barely see. I think that's probably a hell of a marketing struggle for LED's because basically the best lights for plants will look dim to us. I also think that's how...

Not sure if this has been posted before but one of the better charts I've seen. Great for not only helping visually represent the light absorbtion of plants (PAR) but I thought it was really cool for helping understand where the color temp, or Kelvin chart was as relating to PAR so people...

Well the plants need red and blue spectrum together just in different proportions depending on what growth cycle your are trying to maximize. Lights that concentrate their output in the blue spectrum are better for vegetative growth. Lights that concentrate their output in the red spectrum are...

Super nice guy too if you have questions he's great about answering them all even though his threads are crazy busy. It was watching his grows that gave me the confidence to buy some of the latest generation of LED's. Although I must say props to LedBudGuy for producing killer results in...

I want to be an informed consumer and I think everyone does. If someone says their product is best I ask why, is that so unreasonable? I never recommended the light I was running and I never said it was the best. I'm running a grow journal so people can make up their own mind. This...

I love technology and I love growing and I hate getting fleeced by corporations. That's why I don't like HID. The whole replace my bulb twice a year is just crap. Been really pinning my hopes on LED's for a while. I think I bought my Procyons three years ago. I wanna beat my best pull with...

I'm on my laptop. My desktop computer shut down after posting a security warning when I tried replying five minutes ago. It has never done that before.

Kessil aren't LED?

Ouch! I never claimed to have the best light...... I never recommended my light..... I just keep asking what makes Blackstar so great, where are the numbers to back it up and all I get told is that NOTHING compares to Blackstar. Someone else questions Gotham Hydro and they get grilled...

It's not hate! Definately a healthy amount of frustration.......but not hate :-) I'm gonna go put my money where my mouth is and post some pics on my journal....lol Peace:peace:

Day 19 of flower......bud production is well established. Plants are looking very healthy and a couple pics with the flash on to show that.

So I haven't once recommended anyone buy a 357 and I'm a salesman but KK constantly recommends Blackstar and he isn't. Damn its a hard knock life :wall:

I found it interesting that you were asked to prove your anti-blackstar claims......it's a tough go on this forum if you're not running Blackstar. BTW Nice grow. How long is that strain supposed to run? How much power is that ProSource?

lol.....no not at all! I have been battling with the Blackstar gang. I keep asking if we can keep the shilling of Blackstar down until someone posts results or at least not say that they are better than other proven lights. That was directed at Kap Kron after he said that NOTHING is as good as...

So this is the first post of this whole thread quoted above. Note the part that mentions "BIAS FEEDBACK WITHOUT ANY RESULTS. STAY AWAY!"

Here is the link to a grow run in a confined space in dirt by a guy who started out with beat up clones. He got 756 grams off 850W of ISIS panels. .9grams per watt https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/378470-confined-space-850w-led-master.html Blackstar isn't new.....so where...

CFL produce about 64 lumens per watt. LED around 100 for the higher quality ones and HID around 130. So based on that YES LED are better than CFL. Tube floros are actually a little more efficient than CFL's but it's very marginal.

Pentium D baby......you can deep fry a turkey on that sucker! Like I said it's roasted two motherboards but keeps on trucking. My wife just started doing a lot of media editing and I think it's just running too hot for too long now and starting to die. After 5 years it's probably time to buy...
