8 out of 10 cannabis growers surveyed agree...

All the stuff they use for commercial drywall framing is zinc coated steel. It actually looks a lot like stainless. No real need to dumpster dive its pretty cheap, my local drywall supplier sells the heavy duty angles for about $5 for 12 feet. I've got a lot of bars to make so I'm going to...

lol, kinda funny seeing as its citizen I own

First of all welcome! The videos from growmau5 are very informative, however some things have moved on a bit and cxb3590 are a bit outdated now. They still work fine, but citizen, luminus and bridgelux all have cobs that are a bit more efficient and half the cost. Also qb's are pretty big now...

I would switch 5-6 around :)

Exactly! I would forget the light mover, it is a waste of money. You would be better off to put the light mover money into diy led bars. Save up and build a 200-250W bar as you get the money (if you penny pinch around $200) and gradually increase your space then start replacing your existing...

lol just sayin, If you do it cheaply (ie hps) there's lots of heat. The way you cut down on heat is efficiency, which costs. The light mover is a way to spread out intense light (think 1000w hps). But if your light is marginal, you can't get 2x coverage by using a light mover. You just wind...

um...magic :)

Anyways, the upshot of all this is that you need way more light than what you have to do a 5x10. The cmh and viperspectra are good for 9-10 square feet each, and you want to do 50

Listen to the Grand Master Level show where he interviews Stephen from HLG and talks about the HPS vs qb side-by-side they're doing (spoiler... the qb fixture has better "penetration") A high efficiency cob or qb build will do the same thing

Running high efficiency led you will want at least 30w per square foot. Running cmh you'll be need around 40, I would put the viperspectra even higher than that, so you can do the math. Edit- just to elaborate... Its NOT 900w :) its 418w inefficient watts (it will prob produce less than your 315.

Its really not important how many plants you're going to run as they could be any size. How large is your flower area? If you look at the viparspectra on Amazon, it is 418w (and if the drivers are approx 85% efficient then we're down to 355w), and since the leds are not that efficient.... if...

Gotta say that this is pretty much what I thought when I read the first post. He went from flowering under approx 2000K hps to flowering under 3750-4000K. I would expect them to take longer to finish than what he was used to.

In case anyone missed Steven live with GML talking about the HLG vs HPS side-by-side they're doing.

Yeah apples and oranges, really. The PLC-6 is $250 cheaper, is very water resistant (which obviously makes up part of that price) and is designed to be a value proposition for commercial growers (a balance of cost and efficiency) IMO a much closer comparison would be the $1,049.00 600 Watt...

Yeah, you're still thinking "if I do this, then this is what happens". Nope. Those charts simply record the different wavelengths that a particular temperature cob produces as soon as you turn it on. Each temperature cob on that chart has a different mix of blue, green, yellow, red light (and...

A lumen meter would be fine to compare blurple lights to each other but not to anything else. Blurple lights don't really produce much green light (which is mostly what a lumen meter measures) So a blurple light and a cob light could be emitting the exact same amount of photons, but the...

In other words... you were misunderstanding the intent of the graph. On the chart you posted, the percentage on the x-axis is not how hard these cobs are being driven, but it is giving the different parts of the color spectrum a percentile mark based upon how much of that color is present. The...

Pretty sure he hasn't been able to see anything you've posted in the past 3-4 days.

/ Oh... Well I'm not going to say anything bad about Realstyles, I like some of the stuff he's doing, but I think you and I are looking for totally different things when we watch this type of stuff. Realstyles channel is mostly 2-3 min update vids from his garden with the occasional "hey look as...
