High compared to what; HID? Like an LED array they're going to be more expensive then HID setups but you don't have to relamp either and they cover a larger area for 1/2 the wattage.Those indagrow videos really make me wanna buy one.......but goddam those prices are high
Quantum meters are calibrated for sunlight and show energy levels in photosynthetic density or PPFD that fall within the 400-700nm wavelengths. Perfect for measuring plant light levels.
Glad to see someone with a wider understanding of plant electrobiology take this up. I've not seen much on this topic and I'm curious as to why not. Much is known about the lights on - lights off relation between plants and light source but I've not found a lot of research on narrow band far reds influence on accelerating the emerson effect. If it works it would not only save energy by using the low wattage LED arrays but allow for greater weights at finish. I'm giddy with the potential here.
bro - I think you need to lay off the sativa's and stick to indica - not sure if you even knew what you were doing or saying at this point, lmao!!! And, by the way, lets see your documentation on your plants growing 3 times faster with your 3000 watt led - I'd love to have a way to grow my 24 week pure haze in 8!! Somebody needs to check ages before they allow people in here, damn!!! 18 and older folks, please.
nice!! hadn't seen this one yet. i've got an SG602, so kinda cool to see the actual PAR units and energy used. the apachetech looks REALLY interesting ... 1/2 the power draw and nearly the same PAR units. to me, this one seems a good bet for cabinet/stealth grows and avoiding potential thermal issues better.
Yeah im very close to ordering an apachetech model, just not sure which model to get, either r/b or r/w but they also have different ratio configs you can choose too...seems to be a great PAR output for such low wattage. The super narrow lenses are interesting too, but probably not a great footprint but an acceptable tradeoff if the lenses penetrate like they should. Just read a report that one of their medical marijuana customers gets over 1g per watt in a 4x12 area with 8 lights and harvests 4 pounds so do the math that's a half pound per 160w! I'm sure that isn't typical results and dude is probably a master grower, but sounds like the potential is there. They also came out with some new led tubes to replace t5s but didn't see them on their website yet.
Do they even have lenses? Or should I say secondary lenses? To me just looks like each led is housed in a little groove if you will. At first I thought they were associated with LG the TV and phone maker but couldn't find any evidence of an actual partnership between the two.havent heard of em , those are some interesting lenses they got on them , good ol shipping will get ya every time
