A melt down, an imbecile boner lasting more than 4 hours, or the simplest and most elegant explanation? it's time to change that diaper, child.
You might think that new grow warehouses would be planning to install LED light, but they are not. I design systems for all the newly legal state expansions, for serveral different consulting compaines. In the last month, I've done at least two dozen designs-- most all of them greenhouses, and none of them planning to use LED-- they are all running standard HPS. None of the dozens of commercial grows I visit regularly are using them either, with one exception of a client using LED in one room on a test basis. I keep hearing this buzz about LED moving into commercial spaces, but I haven't seen it once in hundreds of facilities. Doesn't mean someone's not doing it, but it's a sure sign to me that this matter is well settled in the current commercial environment.not pointing fingers at anyone, kinda more so at all RIU... but even if you are right, degrading into name calling and shit like that turns what woulda been/coulda been a fruitful discussion into mostly useless entertainment(that gets old quick).. i still manage to learn quite a bit through all the shit slinging still
, an entertaining education
..
so ive learned here that most light sources are good(HPS,CMH,COB)... a warehouse grow in alaska might elect all HPS to supplement heating, a warehouse grow in southern cali may go all COB so save of electric bill and cooling(possibly)... and small fry's like me in small cabs(spaces) not suited for 600 hps or more should probably just look into cob's? basically based on ones specific needs and circumstances, no one size fits all.... and when in doubt just start cursing?? LOL
I love RIUlol
"schooled" doesnt mean what you think. Your misunderstanding explains why you're been corrected and slapped down throughout this thread.
For every 1umol of light an HID bulb puts out, the latest generation LEDs can get out 1.7, using the same amount of power. That without putting out any IR which can account for 15% of the output of HID units. (basically heat waves). In large grows, when you factor in the reduced need for AC and the power that eats combined with lower power draw LEDs the meter to recovering your money starts moving to green fast. Lets also not forget that growing plants under lights at the scale seen today is an ecological disaster. So, we need to do our best to use as little as possible.
bro you're more legit when you get into children, cock, uncles balls and mommy porn. When it comes to growing MJ you're a shit breathing imbecile

This must be your area of expertise. Certainly isn't growing herb.
Yeah, I don't think anyone's saying LED doesn't have it's applications, but the big grow ops aren't using them, and they've shown ready willingness to adopt anything that will save them a buck. The fact that LEDs have had years to proliferate, yet are not in widespread commercial use for cannabis is telling-- though it certainly doesn't lock the legions of closet growers into a certain direction we must follow. There's more experimentation and innovation on this website alone than I see in a hundred commercial grows-- we don't have to risk our job with each crop (unless you grow in illegal states), so we can try different things.
what is your opinion on why most commercial setups dont go LED? is it just the initial up front cost?
Bro' talking out of your ass is really getting old.
It took years and a leap in tech for hobby growers to swap out HPS for LED. Expect the same for commercial. The initial cost is much higher and LED might not supply optimal radiant energy for grows that need help with temps. While commercial growers might "do anything to save a buck" they will be cautious about dropping a fortune on latest tech lighting and probably fearful to negotiate the learning curve and potential shortcomings of initial produce. So the conclusion " it's a sure sign to me that this matter is well settled in the current commercial environment" is suspect.
its good that they are trying, someone's gotta do it lol. maybe they will "fine tune" it enough one day to be the catalyst for change haha.. what you and @GrandfatherRat are saying makes alot of sense. why invest so much on something thats not a sure shot..
lmao/jks... i know for a fact COB's are the greatest thing ever invented in the history of mankind. i know because i spent money, that i earned, on them and they are currently hanging in my cab. so they must be the very best.
....
Well I might be overstating that case a bit, and I'm just poking about in a tiny slice of this multi-state billion dollar market, but it's easy to get that impression from my own first hand. What I'd really like to see are growers with commercial funding doing pure research on these subjects. The extraction community is doing mad experimentation at that level, and we see all kinds of new products coming out of it. There's tons of promise in this area of technology, and plenty of money-- we have the example of companies like Surna in innovation tech for cannabis HVAC already (like em or not...). Unfortunately there's not much direction or clarity when it comes to predicting where innovation will go, and some people of course want to take advantage of that.
sounding like a witless jackass broi know for a fact COB's are the greatest thing ever invented in the history of mankind. i know because i spent money, that i earned, on them and they are currently hanging in my cab. so they must be the very best.

If you're going to continue to troll this thread please post up more of your laughable grow. Tell us again how your shit setup and totally fucked plants are the "wave of the future". That pic was pretty funny.
