Upgrading LED Lights

[medidedicated]

Anyone notice my bridgelux clones have that spinly outward look like a foxtail except its not because it stops. Same clones under samsung have a more receeded but structure. Hard to explain, just a more normal bud structure. Same under the samsungs but different brand light. Why might that be? Two runs in a row and three runs with the viparspec samsung. More than three if to count the mars ts1000’s.

maybe its the osrams

Dude! I'm totally on board with this. I just had a spider farmer with those diodes and all my growth stopped, shot got weird. Sent it back for the Migro Veg light (all samsung) boom back in action! They say all of today's fixtures are the same? Nahhhh I don't think so! Glad you pointed this out.

Yea I saw that on your journal was like what a coincidence lol. Basically ran into the same issues as me almost. I like that the migro is a bar so I could put a box fan over a couple of those I think.

For me I just need the anolog dimmer style and aerodynamic so I can dim it. But yea some lights like the ts1000 never gave issues while the vipar needs to be used carefully even tho the ppfd isnt that high. Just well spread 900 ppfd at 12” which I had much higher up and it burned it quick.

I think the manufactures make their lights at different intensities at different percentages set. That would be obvious just thinking about how each light is a bit different. I think when @Rocket Soul said theyre all similar they said the spectrum is but maybe they didnt mean literally. That they each still can perform a little differently.

Box fans would totally work. Imma have the newest Array 4 soon, maybe not this next flower cycle but definitely for my next.

Thats alot of light at 12inches.

Id love to try someones diy light I just do the bars only but would like to see what a tweaked spectrum would do. Since I know my clones so well. Getting to know the bridgelux its the newest to me.

Can you tell which was the bridgelux? Its most of them. That spiked nug look is the bridgelux I never seen before.

The 9680 photo looks more rounded while the others loom spiked/foxtail. Am I right?

Custom spectrums is going to be the next big thing. I just watched a new light review by Shane Migro and it's tunable. Dimlux Mk, looks dope.

Which lights/diodes are we talking about? Sorry missed the background. But in general most of the modern grow spectrums are incredibly similar; something around 4000k whites (sometimes a mix of 3000 and 5000k giving the same 4000k white mix) plus a little 660 red. Its like a sort of recipe of getting best photon efficiency at fairly low cost since you dont have to use too much red which tends to be the more expensive diodes.

Imo its a decent way to get good apunts of fairly samey and boring weed - nice and dense packing a lot of weight, far down in the cannopy but generally somewhat nothing saying in the smell department and buds looking a bit smaller than hps.

Which lights/diodes

Osram (if I spelled it right lol)

I had picked up a spider farmer with those diodes white and red and my plants didn't respond well. Switched over to Migro Array 1 veg, all samsung and boom! Everything is on track. Strange.

ooo so the google AI is telling me removing carpet could reduce rh by several percent. Even if carpet doesnt get wet it can raise rh. Oo I want to remove it anyway but see if this actually would help. That sounds like an awesome upgrade and the bud will be cleaner too. My carpet is disfreakingusting.

hope ur floor isn’t wood, if yes to wood floors I would use mold primer than use panda film

The veg seedling kit comes with 95cri white spectrum; it comes with a bunch of extra reds baked into the white diodes; without such pronounced 660 peak as mono supplemented, instead peaking around 625-630nm.
