I'm generally pretty good with judging speed, but when going through radar my buttcheaks would clench pretty tight.

I've been using.photone too and my readings are perplexing because I know my light is doing the job but the bar style is not giving readings similar to board style.lights I have.

I'm not sure of your financial situation but a phantom is only about 150$ ish..? I think..? I bought mine as soon as I seen one online.

Everything is chopped and drying from my previous run and Im cleaning the tent and getting the ks3000 in there. I'll run a par test in the comming days. Just busy busy trying to get everything harvested, and making some live bho. Yum.

Called in sick so I could clean the tent and get this bad boy in here.
It's super bright.
(It's only on 25% in the pics)
Don't mind the cord mess. I'm just getting things in here, and I'll deal with that shortly. I ended up just sitting the driver on top of the fixture, because I couldn't find a better way to mount it. Surprisingly, this thing has some heat! Thank god because I seem to always be struggling with keeping temps up.

Here's a really basic quick par test. Front door open so it'll be a bit higher with the door closed.
Fixture is about 40" above sensor. Light is set to 100%

Center @ 40"





For open/close door reference here's front center with the doors open

And here's closed

I'll get into it a bit better in the comming days when I have some more time and do a more in depth par test. So far it seems to be pretty even across the board. Way better coverage then my cmh

Well hopefully today I'll be able to get the clones potted and into the tent. We will see if I have the time to do so. Update later

Thank you!

KS3000 adopts Samsung LM301H Diodes and powerful and efficient Osram 660nm diodes. Larger frame and concentrating the diodes toward the ends of each bar help spread more light out to the edges and corners. Even intensity across plants results in healthier, more balanced growth.

A warm little reminder: If you put the driver between the bars, please pay attention that doesn't let it fall, otherwise it will crush the plant. @Jjgrow420

Happy growing!
