Citizen COBs with suplementation ssl80

I wouldn't put any UVC in there. Never shown to do anything for Cannabis potency. No plant can use UVC because none ever hit it in the history of the world. Just leave the UV supplementation to the users. Do you WANT to be sued for blinding people and killing every living thing that the light touches? Can't see how that would be a good thing. I also wouldn't bother with the far reds. Again, if people want far red they can get it themselves. With your lights, they don't have a choice. Far red makes plants stretch and not branch. Not everybody wants that. Why not just sell separate small far red units? That's what Rottweiler does. Anyway, obviously you can design the light however you want. Just pointing out that not everybody wants UV or FR. I won't buy lights with those in them.
Even uv-b producing more THC or thcV really, I don't entirely agree with. More data is needed from lab testing imho. We are short on that end of the stick.

Sides by sides as well, I think are poor predictors of the type of results we are looking as well. I know they are poor predictors. Especially if you believe in something like 20% genetics/80% environment. Clones of the same "pheno" will be different right next to each other in chemical profiles. That is the one of the only thing thing "known" at this point.
Side by sides are useless without a control and the "control" mechanism itself isn't even in place either. See what's happening?......

All I know is I don't like it and this is what the forum is all about - members putting their heads together and discussing things without a big blow out :hump:
well lose the aggressive tone and that will happen. I gave you the info to explain what was happening and you responded rudely. There is way too much of this shit happening here recently. People who ask for help and are then subsequently rude to those who offer help are really bringing this place down. Don't be an "askhole".

Seriously...use google and see what a camera obscura is before jumping down someone's throat that gave you a real and valid possible answer.

Is it happening with the doors wide open? Or just through cracks in the tent?

HERE ...then use the first link
"With too small a pinhole, however, the sharpness worsens, due to diffraction. "

LINK...
the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the waveforms produced.
There was nothing rude in presenting a question without "using google"
It is this arrogant bullshit attitude in this forum that is the problem. Maybe I don't want to google everything and would rather strike up the discussion with the hopes that others would open up a bit and share what they know.
Anyone can google, how boring is that

Well if you don't understand the words I'm using then it would seem pertinent to try and work out what they mean before dismissing my response. Jesus :wall:

fine but you don't give any details of the light that is producing the disco effect. without that we can't tell you what would be better. I know of several factors that make a huge difference.

- proximity of the diodes, closely spaced is better, like less than a couple of mm apart.
- diffusing lenses
- wide spreading lenses and reflectors
- full overlap of point sources

try the following to eliminate the disco effect
- pack single diodes together as close as possible.
- use a tight focusing reflector.
- use a 120 degree spreading lens with a diffusion surface.

or even simpler
use warm white cobs which packs the diodes close together, has a built in diffusion surface and magically produces a smooth gradient of different wavelengths

Ok bro...let's get real about what just happened and how google was never brought into this till AFTER twist gave you the answer in conversation form with no google reference. You said that's wrong because you didn't understand it. You were told you to google it to understand it....not that google is the first place to get the answer. Yet he did give a full explanation(quoted further down) so you never had to go to google...but being that you never understood it...you still need to use google.

So here we go...
Your question, and un verified statement of "what the plants are seeing"(but we will forget that part of YOUR arrogance)...
I am curious, does the single lens solve this issue?
View attachment 3738307
That is what the plants see with a discrete diode panel with individual secondary lenses.
That is hitting the floor through a hole in my Janky tent.
Well, that was with lenses removed - here it is with lenses on

His correct answer with no reference to google or finding it yourself...he freely gave it...
You basically have a camera obscura right there.
I'm sure they are blending to some degree, but maybe they would be better under a single lens... I am not sure.

The phenomenon you are seeing is due to the fact that light travels in a straight line. The light is passing through a really small hole in your tent that kinda focusses the light, and projects an inverted image. This is not the same as what the plants will "see".

And your dismissing response...that YOU choose to not acknowledge when it was infact exactly what you were asking for...
How is it camera when it can be seen with the naked eye? lol
Now enter google suggestions...
Google is your friend. If you don't know what a camera obscura is that's not my problem. peace
It is clear as day that when twist said camera obscura...you thought it meant the camera is obscuring the image. Which he explained yet you still proceeded to dismiss the correct answer.
So I took it further with google to a point that if you do not understand it now...there is no hope for you and you deserve to believe that they are not blending by the time they hit your plants.

So chill out and read dude

The only thing I am going to add to this discussion is to remember that many of the people coming here are truly "Medical" users and it is going to be common for someone to overlook something, skip all over the fucking place, or just take multiple passes to finally have a theory, concept, or information fully understood. Everyone needs to understand that and many of the blow ups in this section would be avoided to begin with.
We are all chill, no hard feelings here... Carry on ;)

Lack of comprehension is one thing... acting like a dick is another thing entirely.

I see this as where shit got dirty myself. As one hit said if you can see it with your own eyes who is to say the plants aren't seeing it to a certain extent. Then the attitude.
I don't know either of you two but I see it's gotten a little out of control.

Anyone else put 2 and 2 together yet and realized that @tags420 and @Greengenes707 are one and the same?
Look bud, just cause your 15 minutes of youtube fame are drying up doesn't mean you need to come in here and poopoo all over this nice fella's thread who frankly has a light way more innovative than anything you have put out.
Drop the shitty attitude. We all see you having confrontations with people all over this forum :roll:

And for anyone who thinks my assumptions of identity are incorrect, just take a look for yourself:

This is my last post in the OP's thread.
He has a solid product and is clearly light years ahead of half of the assclown pretendgineers on these forums :peace:
yes thank you shut up and go to he corner of the room and put your dunce cap on

interesting that your now resorting to "pretendgineers" just like only one other asshole I know that posts in these forums.
