I read a thread with some not so happy people. Made me dissapointed that I got it. I am a sucker for hypw still I guess.
Here's the thing though: they are rooting a couple days faster under the light which is interesting.
But the stem is reddening (possible spectrum blue issue)
They are discoloring strangely chlorosis slightly definitely more than the normal one lowest leaf sometimes.
And it is leading me to believe that they may demand a higher available nutrient either by substrate or foliar to really make them work right?
They do measure twice the PAR than my t5's which I have been very pleased with Cloning with.
I measured the LUXX at the reccommended height of 10-12 inches vs my T5 right on top of my dome (about 6-8 inches)
Ooops I did have some Powdery Mildew growing on those two clopnes in the picture. Maybe that sucked some of the Chlorophyl out of the leaves? Usualy it just washes off but maybe during lconing PM sucks some green out of the leaves?
I used to just clone under my 400 induction light at a couple of feet -- which also has a spectrum I like.
I am switching over to LEDs for heat and long term energy consumption...
Particularly the BLUE led's in VEG seem to simulate Calcium deficiency when too close.
I think I am going to set up my 2 2 ft T5's right between the LUXX 4 ft pair and combine them and see how that goes?
Once the plants get going they don't seem to mind the LUXX! But otherwise something just doesn't seem quite right with them on bare cuts in a dome. Maybe it is just TOO much light?
