I know 3000-4000K is the scientific proven standard, but just wanted to ask if anyone here has grown purely using higher Kelvin LED's (5000K+) and if so - what's your experience doing so? Did it turn out just fine? What differenced did you see between a higher Kelvin LED and a lower Kelvin one...

@RM3 Hello RM, I was reading through this thread and wasn't sure if it had been mentioned, but wanted to ask you - in your opinion, how much does the effect of the smoke increase with using higher K lights, like 6500K or 10,000K? I'm growing equatorial landrace sativas, and I've heard it said...

I messaged them, they said it's not an option in Alibaba, but they can send you 5000K and 6500K lights. Might even be able to do higher, I'll ask them.

I've heard that for growing equatorial landrace sativas indoors, people have recommended high Kelvin lights (10,000K, 6500K, etc) to bring out the most positive effects / high in the genetics. I'm chasing the most positive effect possible, I don't mind low potency and low yield. Anyone have...

Congrats @Ailalelo ! Looking good Btw, regarding positive effect of equatorial landrace sativas, do you guys have an opinion on best Kelvin light value for effect? (I know 3000K and such is best for yield in flower, but I don't mind low yields and low potency, going after pure effect, with the...

Still trying to wrap my head around all this - how come you can't grow landrace sativas without at least 550w of true power? I was going to get 2 of those 250W, and I already have a 100W Mars Hydro, that would be 600W total in a 3x5' space (it's a white tiled shower I converted into a grow space).

I've gotten some anecdotal evidence that using higher K numbers (5000K), closer mimics the light in high elevations in tropical areas... and for growing landrace sativas (which is what I grow), it leads to better effects. I believe 3000-3500K is recommended for flower because it leads to...

I thought it was oompa loompas?

I'm looking to grow purely landrace tropical sativas indoors, and in my search for a light I was highly recommended the Kingbrites. Is there any specific model you guys would recommend (or configuration in general... ie 3000K, 660nm, etc) if my goal is to grow purely landrace sativas? Here's...

Yes, what a fitting song. (If) it rains in the spring (luckily it has been the past few years) then the hills look beautiful and green and lush... but come June-July it all turns into a tinderbox and every shade of brown. Typically only significant rain here is between Feb and April or so. My...

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I'll be trying this on the next run. Edit: Btw, I noticed you mentioned you avoid a perpetual cover crop (dutch white clover) on indoor grows. What about outdoor grows? (Mine is a outdoor no-till grow in southern california). Would it be better to just...

So do you think it would be wise to put hay over the cover crop, let it die so the worms can eat it, and only plant a cover crop in between cannabis crops?

I was directed to the kingbrites, sourced directly from China, that does sound like the best deal for the best quality. I think it'll be like $400 (after shipping) to get 2 x 240W lights... sounds about right yea? I'll probably do that.

I was actually growing with the cover crops inside my 30 gallon no-tills. Hairy vetch and nasturtiums. Would that also work? Also, what kind of cover crop were you running to do that?

Thanks Joe for the detailed explanation, I'm understanding a bit more about all this light stuff. Do you think any of these variables would have a final effect on the effect of the flower smoked? Not potency or anything, but do you think one light might make the effect more "positive" over...

In your opinion, how much do the efficiencies really matter? Between let's say a Spider Farmer and something like the GooingTop light? I grow for effect, I don't mind smaller yields, still learning about all the technicalities of the lights.

Thanks Beehive. Would the Mars Hydro TSW 2000 light be up to par in your opinion?

I was recommended this light, The GooingTop QB2000, supposedly almost as good as the Spider Farmer SF-2000, Samsung diodes and Meanwell driver, but with 240W for only $150. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0895ZMNMH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 Sounds like an amazing deal...

Noice! I always viewed as soil cooking since it got hot when everything is reacting with each other at first, but I like the kitchen cooking analogy too, best to go light on the seasoning, simple is always best. On my new mix I'll try the 40/40/20 mix and compare it to my other one. Btw also...
