Thank you! After I read this, I'll be able to decode these past 25 pages..... Maybe.. :joint:

@stardustsailor Where did you learn all this stuff? Could you recommend any reading material on this form of botany?

wow just smoked a fattie and stumbled across this thread. I'm still picking pieces of my brain off the ground. Blew my mind. Great read. I have seen the white light, and it's beautiful. rep for all the big words

found this new company thought i might as well throw it out there. http://www.californialightworks.com the 200w unit uses 5 watt diodes and its under $500

so is this dead or what???? *poke* *poke*

NEW YORK – Two leading makers of lighting products are showcasing LED bulbs that are bright enough to replace energy-guzzling 100-watt light bulbs set to disappear from stores in January. The new bulbs will also be expensive — about $50 each — so the development may not prevent...

Hello I am. I have heard of cutting the main water leaves before but was to afraid to do it. I would like to see what would happen. Greatly intrested Edit: Have not read all of post just jumped to the front. Trying to read it all

Nice. I had messed up a grow like 4 years back and didn't flush properly. I should of tried it then. Thanks for the easy walk thru, sound simple enough. +Rep

I have heard of this before but didn't know if it was true. Any guidelines as to how one does this?? I would love to know.

Thanks for the reply. Think I'm all set. Thanks for everything. You tha man!

So I should leave both spectrums on (the switches on the 357 VEG./FLW.) and supplement with the 2 5000K and a 6500K to help with the veg stage. Then once done with veg should I replace the 3 cfls and get like a 100w cfl 2700K or a bit lower (in kelven) if i can find one i think I've seen one...

Yeah i'm thinking the same thing. What kind of lights are you using??

Overkill is my middle name. I decided to build a LxWxH 2.5 x 2.5 x 6.5 ft. I was thinking of using a mix of cfls because i have a few laying around. If the bulbs are 23w what mix should i use. Like 1 5000K 1 6500k 1 2700k?? or 2 5K and 1 65K I've used cfls but not with good results...

Do you have any input of the vegatative capabilities of the 357??

Depending on their rating i would have to say yes. But it's the fans that will more than likely be the problem(fail). I would like to think i might never have to buy anything that would have to do with lighting for 7.5 to 10 years. Thats just happy thinking. By then plasma lighting will be the...

The life span of an LED is vastly longer than that of incandescent, fluorescent or HID light sources. LED are generally rated to last 50,000 hours or 100,000 hours. Although an LED never completely burns out the brightness of the light output by an LED diminishes over time. This diminution is...

I shot an elephant in my pajamas. (Open for interpretation) Everything is open to interpretation or ones own perception. That is why we have the scientific method. Because the scientific method is real whether you believe or not. I could have the best LED light and not be able to grow a thing...

Did you construct the light??

@meharmon I might be wrong but i think there is some loss from fans and umm the little back boxes that convert? the power. And a bit lost in the form of heat so it draws 240w from the wall but only 180w of light is produced. If I'm wrong forget this ever happend.

Nice. Hope thats what mine look like
