This was just a random that I've saved for awhile. These came off the same mother but the first pic is 16 to 20 in away from lights in a net. There's 3 with purty pistils all within to 6 to 10 in from lights. Hoping i got a clone from one of these. Different pheno's possibly?
I just got back la confidential, barneys lsd, and a desconocida kush. Planning on a 2 lec with those

I've been a believer off the 600 off the rip but the 315 looks to be pretty darn close in every aspect. My hood is vertical, almost exactly a sun system. Been very happy so far with less watt and less heat. Really excited to run 2 lecs alone and see the results.
The overlap of the 600 and lec does look pretty healthy. In the future I think a 600 centered and 2 lec on the outside would do wonders.. I won't lie to ya though. I really like your setup Michiganmed. Hell I maybe even jealous . It Definitely looks like it works. Lol

Uh, you've got it exactly backwards; LED conducts and convects heat to the air around itself, whereas light bulbs emit lots of radiant heat, aka infrared, which heats plants directly.

Hold your hand near an HID lamp, you'll feel your hand get warm very quickly. LED doesn't feel like this. Instead there's much more brightness but not so much heat forced at the plants.

To put it another way; the element in an HID lamp shares many similarities to that ceramic bar in your toaster oven. They both make a lot of infrared light, aka radiant heat.

You can't make toast with an LED.

Word. Hence the high red spectrum in hid. Thanks for the info ttystikk.
I suppose the only way to find out the heat differences is run a flip sched with cobs on one side.

Thanks for the compliment. I just go one little step at a time and I am really thinking of doing 2 and 2 with the glass removed from those blockbuster 600's. I have to panda film in an area of my back basement. Just work huh? Like I got time. Lol

I am surprised you have healthy buds so close to the cmh. I am down to about 16" with the Phillips in the remote sun system reflector and now some lower buds are giving me results more like the 600's.

2 each mounted diagonally from each other in a 7' x 7' footprint on an 8' x 8' platform for a margin of error (big plants) and to keep off the cold floor and I could walk around the whole thing. Hmmmm......

Now it's just work and money :-)

I'm less than 12" in veg and about 1.5' max in flower. No issues in almost 8 weeks. 3x315 in veg, 4x315 in flower.

With so many saying 18" + I was cautious. Plus I am used to air cooled. It's my first open lamp.

I read a commercial review that said they measured the advertised max par with my type of lamp at 16" over a 2.5' x 2.5' area max.

Yeah, some of the 3.7 pots on the sides are leaving today. More room for my main girls to stretch out for another week before I flip. Gonna try a new flowering tek this time. Instead of how i normally lollipop, I'm only gonna allow the main tops to grow. Nothing else. All else will be removed.

Well that's the opposite of my style but results speak for themselves. I have low height so I cut nothing. Most of the seed plants have their baby leaves still even. And if there are any loose buds down low we add them to the trim for coconut oil.

It was confirmed by Mrs. MedGrowers Doctor her cysts have reduced with no other treatment by 40% in 6 months. Just regular eating of a little oil.

I think it is healing my colon and joints too. We have both suffered all our lives with no relief from health care system. Just delay and damage.

Here are 2 terrible pics I can't seem to delete I took a few days ago of my flower room. I still veg in tents under 6500k t-5 HO's.

And here is the Classic Headband finishing under the 315 and overlap.

I've been prepping veg plants and flowering the same.way for 4+ yrs. This is a "test" run of chopping any and all larffy garbage and 8 big tops. My theory is if a big plant can use its energy to grow just 8 big ass colas vs 8 colas and a bunch of Larffy garbage, the plant with just 8 big colas should yield the same as there's no extra energy needed to grow Larffy crap.

I hear you but have to say that plants don't grow like that. We are not saving or re directing plant "energy". Just molding and training it to our needs.

Good jersey tomatoes are grown to be consistently large by removing the lower branches and suckers. But the yield is higher with the plant left to grow more uneven tomatoes. And of course will take up more space with foliage and fruit. It is all a trade off. The price is higher for the nicer tomatoes.

I have found this with my plants as well.

And I get 1 jar of larf and trim to about 6 or 7 of dense buds on average. But I keep my plants under 30" tall.

In my opinion and research anyway.

Hey guys does anyone want to suggest the best CMH for me? Im not too sure what I should be looking out for spec-wise. I have a choice of, a uk made sun system replica, a maxibright kit, a maxibright kit with a sun systems reflector, or a straight sunsystems but is almost double the cheaper option. There's also a omega kit which has a dimmable driver? Links below.. :)
