Bonjour
I was just asking news about maximizer grow...I am interested in the results you can have with cxb 3590 driven @2100mA...75w each...correct?
It is like a 1000w hps but better...
So could you please give us news of Maximiser grow sometimes to have an idea of the beast aptitudes!
Thanks!

Today temp are at 77 and everything is sealed up. May just be cold day out.. But humidity 51% now that there's a dehum in there.

Turned the fan down 2 notches since heat needs to come up. Only noticed that today tho, all other days 80-82.

Still same nutes. Watered Flora Nova flower full strength, next day watered again w/ Flora Nova veg, medium strength cause was seeing a slight yellowing appearing in the middle which means needed to add base--little nitrogen and back..

I think this coming week (wk 3) will flip to full flower only nutes.

Cal Mag
Terpinator
Rhizo Blast
Flora Nova/Veg
de chlorinator
pH down (when watering flora nova flower, no pH down needed)

Also trellis went in. I've noticed inches in growth to the guys above the trellis. Not sure if I should weave them or wait. Wanted to wait to see how much they would continue up. Current the tallest is 6" away from top of the lense (nearest the plant) of the light and the majority of the canopy is approx 12"-14" away from the light.

Thaz the scoop!

You fucking better be if you're hosting a radio show. Having knowledge and being able to disseminate it in a digestible form, and still hold on to some sort of entertainment value is a difficult tight rope to walk, and these guys do not make the cut, imo. I can't find the part 2 where they actually talk to you!

I had a really informative and most entertaining conversation with @Stephenj37826 yesterday! Thanks again for everything, brother!

I know I'm in the right place when people are happy to reach out and help, without concern for what's in it for them or if they might help the competition. This industry is growing so fast there's not only room for everyone, but we need each other to be able to keep up with everything that's happening.

Anyway, the open mind and spirit of camaraderie is refreshing and always appreciated. Let me know when I can return the favor, for sure!

LMAO haters are everywhere...... I just got the JohnsonGrowLights.com Cx-9 light I ordered in the mail today! Came a lot faster than I had expected and $@%# this thing is BRIGHT!!!

No hate here. For the same price, many of us are building CXB3590 setups that run ~600w @ 56% efficiency. I believe those CX9 are right about ~44% efficient (maybe Stephen could chime in, would be great to see efficiency ratings on the site). Not only that, you are pounding roughly 460w from a 16x16 square. Not very efficient as far as light output is concerned.

Damn, you just jelly or what? It's Christmas, don't shit on his new toy!

Besides- with CXB3590 chips in it, it's going to be a great light even if it doesn't quite hit the magic efficiency number that meets with your approval.

@BigZcolorado You're gonna grow some great dank with that unit, bro!
