I smoked some mexican sativa a friend of mine grew with barely any trichomes...barely a glitter here and there...was hallucinating cartoon like shit for 2 hours...some of the best I ever had...another friend with some...uggggh...kush something or other...sparkling like diamonds...made me hungry and tired...And i haven't ph'ed in so long...years...THAT MY METER TIP DRIED OUT AND BATTERY DIED
**thats my FAV
Exactly. The one "tested" as the most efficient by this hydro vendor is also the most expensive. duh.....
Im not talking about the shape of the reflector, im talking about the orientation of the bulb inside the reflector. By your logic every flashlight & headlight manufacturer IN THE WORLD could improve the intensity of their flashlight/headlight by changing the orientation of the bulb inside the flashlight/headlight so that more direct light could be emitted from the flashlight/headlight. but why haven't they? STUPID FLASHLIGHT & HEADLIGHT MANUFACTURERS!

This is human nature. It is also precisely what the scientific method tries to avoid. It does so by requiring that scientists not just test their hypotheses, but try to prove them false." - Gary Taubes "You can't convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it's based on a deep seated need to believe." - Carl Sagan "The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know." - Attributed to Socrates |
Works for me, see my gardens (gallery). Let's see yours.
Now wait a minute. You pumped up the virtues of having a dead arc pole pointing toward the canopy in your super duper parabolic/cone type reflector and even though this design is supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread, you're not buying it cause it's overpriced? Did a cord come with that Blockbuster horizontal hood?
WOW, yep those six pictures you have in your gallery that are years old really prove a whole lot UB. better listen to you about EMR physics!
There's 8 pages. Guess you got lost.
Here it is. The test was done by Greners. They only tested about 20 different hoods, and the PL Lighting Deep wasn't tested:
I never pumped up any virtues, i corrected an incorrect statement that you made. And yes i do not think the 100% increase in price is worth the 5-10% increase in irradiance. Id rather wait a few years for the price to come down.
Why wouldn't it?
I'm thinkng about buying one this week to replace my Daystar.SUN SYSTEM - BLOCK BUSTER 6" AIR COOLED REFLECTOR

Oh, BTW theres not a single luminaire in the world that has >45% direct light so you are comparing the luminaire to things that you just made up... how intuitive.
ooops...I am so sorry...seems you know it all...so I will not waste anymore time trying to educate god
thank you PJ
I already gave you the link to that in the post you responded to attempting to 'debunk'. did you really not even read the links i provided? wow this proves such a point, one that you'll prolly never get.
I don't pretend to know everything, but i can almost guarantee ive spent more time doing legitimate scientific research on the different sciences of horticulture than almost anyone who visits a cannabis forum. This doesnt make me better or smarter, just more informed on the subject. Id suggest checking your ego at the door so you could learn something too.
sorry you feel this way...I have spent more time GROWING MJ than you have probably been alive...think of your above statement...If at least 50% of the arctube in a horizontal fixture is visible then it equates to at least 50% direct light emission...and research or reading? EXPERIENCE not only reading...and with all your supposed research you only found less than 40 things to share in 2 years...whatever dude...last words I waste on you...have a great existence
keep em on and keep em green is the botanical law which prevails
