He right though. Just not anodized green which you can find online too.

Ok thanks Dan. Only restating what you told me about only having calculated PPFD on fixture I purchased from you.

So what, the light’s ppfd is as calculated! He already told you he doesn’t test every variation.
Most light makers don’t even do what dan does.

You are doing an excellent job making yourself look like a complete asshole in this thread. Pretty much negates anything useful you have ever offered riu.

And not everyone wants to sell their competitors products. Cant you get that through yours?

Yes, freak.
It is me. You are your own worst enemy.
Great job proving your point though.....

Nah I smoked ribs today. Good try though. Soon to have more once I pick up my pigs tomorrow.

Wouldn't you consider that semi organic? Bottled nutrients aren't really organic it's a big difference between building a food web and feeding bottles. I don't really consider brands like general organics truly organic it's still not the same as having living organisms in the soil breaking down organic materials and forming a symbiotic relationship with the plants growing . I been gardening organically using no till methods and also doing hydro side by side for a while(tried many different types of nutrient brands) if you have some questions you can ask in the organic section there's lots of people there that can help you, bottles aren't organic no matter how hard they try to sell you on them being organic. I'd also suggest picking up teaming with microbes, great read for organic growing.

Yah buddy. I had some left from last years pigs and was like why not. Use pecan wood yum. Now time to restock my freezer.Slow and low

Have you ever heard of aquaponics? Probably not. It's a good place to start learning about microbial activity in suspension and symbiosis. Also about nutrient suspension in water.
Likewise, you've probably never made your own fish emulsion. Nor grown with organic teas made with liquified worm castings and guano. But even if you have never made your own - or don't know how - there are plenty of certified organic nutrients on the market that are exactly that: liquified organic nutrients and microbes in suspension.
Perhaps it's the "hydroponic" part you don't understand. You do realise that most forms of hydroponics use media and that, even where they don't (DWC and aeropinics for example) the oxygenated root zone has its own rhizosphere harbouring the same microbial colonies found in soil-grown plants.
So no, I don't consider it "semi-organic". Just as I don't consider you really understand what you're talking about when you refer to "living organisms in the soil breaking down organic materials". You don't need soil to do that. In fact, soil is largely made up of sand - an inert material that simply provides a stable structure to hold roots. And how do you think those same nutrients broken down by microbial activity are transported into the plant? Suspended in water, through epidermal root hairs with the help of mycorrhizal fungi, if present.

Seems like you’d need a lot of room for aeroponics? Roots just dangle in the air and get misted. Sounds interesting!

Yes and no. A friend of mine is a professor who lectures on the subject and has many systems he uses to demonstrate on all different scales. At the smaller end, a basic aquaponic system might be a small goldfish tank with plants sitting on top and a small pond pump recirculating the water. You feed the fish and pump the water to the plants, which remove the waste nutrient as they feed and return the purified water to the tank in a waterfall effect that also oxygenates the eco-system and keeps everything happy (both fish and plant roots need oxygen to survive, but fish require substantially more).
Medium-scale you could have two separate systems: a remote fish pond connected to a recirculating hydroponic system via a pond pump and irrigation lines that do the same thing. You feed the fish, the fish shit, the water is circulated through the plant root zone and the plants remove the waste while they feed on the nitrogen and other nutrient-rich water. The purified water keeps the fish happy and the physical act of recirculating the water oxygenates it.
On the largest scale, he has set up community-based aquaponic enterprises in Africa that involve large freshwater fish ponds that abut food-crops and use soil-irrigation techniques to divert water from the ponds to the crop fields, which drain back into the ponds. Some of the cereals from the food crops are used to feed the fish to complete the cycle. The Africans get a steady supply of fresh fish and cereals/vegetables, and the whole system is fuelled by photosynthesis and rain water. Even the pond pumps run on photovoltaic power (supplemented by battery power when there is no sun).

It really comes down to die size as well. For instance Nichia has 2 different 2 die 3030 V1 leds. The NF2 and NT2 series. Both use 2 dies in series the NF2 using larger dies than the NT2. The VF will be lower on the NF2 and power handling is also higher as well. NF2 can be slightly more efficient as power levels go up. Hopefully in the future the die size will be an available piece of data{very helpful).
