Don't get me wrong... I am still impressed and envious.

I am sure almost all of the prolific posters here could do that given legality, money and a few months time.

These are the 3rd and 4th generation versions that have come as a result of my DIY COB project. Gen #3 is the smaller 3 light module. Gen #4 is he larger 6 light module - The two 3 LED light bars on this unit are tilted in at a 15% angle towards the center, it is a bit hard to see in the...

Most of the people I have encountered that are running into nutrient issues are using semi hydroponic systems. They use something like coco/perlite, and expect completely provide liquid nutrients with semi flood systems. Where as I run 10 gal pots with 1/2 ffof, 1/4 perlite, 1/4 sphagnum moss...

I have noticed moving to bigger pots has significantly improved the over all health of my plants. Greatly increased rate of over all plant growth, fewer nutrient issues on large plants. I have been incorporating more cal/mag that has helped. I have had several people attempt to use COBs, not...

Based on all the experience people have gained on there forums using various DIY builds. What are the biggest challenges in switching from traditional grow lights to white COBS. Most importantly what are the biggest changes in nutrient requirements.

That is what I am going to be working on tomorrow. However, I am not in the position to offer people any free lights at this point in time. It just so happens that our price point completely blows anyone else out of the water, and I would be willing to work with people at a whole sale price...

No need to apologize. This is exactly why I made a post to get clarification about the best way to proceed.

If you mean the blue in the middle of the light? That would likely just be a reflection from the light bouncing off the ceiling. Or coming in from a window.

I am only looking for testers in the capacity that, the product with the Pi 3 is not a fully realized product that is glitch free, so people would need to expect that there may be glitches still. For further clarification, I can make posts/threads talking about my product and price, as long as...

What can I post on here in reference to my business without being deleted? Given that my post was deleted I would like to know what I can post and avoid upsetting anyone.

I agree its like in the book: Thank and Grow Rich - You will never change anyone's mind by arguing with them, take the time to listen, understand and ask questions. If you ask smart informed questions and the other person is in the wrong, they will come to see the error in their ways through...

All of this stuff is really hard to know for sure because I am not familiar with what chips output at what efficiency. What I do know that it is not as simple as more light is always better, particularly if you are a new grower. I would forward that a new grower would likely get a better yield...

Yes, like I said simple math. The next to factors would be the goal of the grow. Are you maxed out with your one light or could you grow more with more lights. Then consider the amount of power you use and how much power costs. Within these constraints it should be simple to figure out what is...

I have lights designed and built that run Vero 29s at 100W each. They work great no problems. However, all costs being equal, assuming similar canopy intensity, by adjusting distance from light, I think a 3 Vero 29 light at like 2ft would lose to a 6 vero 29 light at 1ft in terms of yield. Also...

Even if this is true, according to the new sheet on the Vero 29s the peak red output on the 3000k is shifted 10-15nm up, when compared to the 4000k. This puts the peak red on the 3000k closer to 620nm vs 600nm on the 4000k. With only a 2-3% output difference I think this shifts things far more...

The performance difference between the 3000k-4000k has largely been eliminated for the new version of the Vero 29 that they just released the specs for. The 3000k is 155lm/w the 4000k is only 161lm/, this means the 3000k is likely the better way to go, augmented with more 660 red.

Spec sheet for the new Vero: http://www.bridgelux.com/sites/default/files/resource_media/DS93%20Vero%2029%20Array%20Data%20Sheet%20Rev%20A%2020160622.pdf I only just noticed that the new specs are out. Big performance increase across the board, not as much loss between 3000k and 4000k any more.

I have a strain that showing "Sativa" traits, the amount it stretches at the beginning of flower seems to have very little to do with the color temperature or the light intensity. Light temperature and intensity seems to mostly have an effect on internodal spacing and leaf development during...

Thanks this looks like great information. I am planning to hack together a Pi controlled system for my next step, in theory I should be able to control many functions to test light cycles and automatically collect data. I am never really satisfied until I have verified that the theory tracks...
