    Have any of you DIY COB Growers finished a crop under 1000W DE HPS? - POLL

    Jesus... People going to bust out battle axes and kill each other over .5 gpw :P Yes I said .5 gpw lol... It is simply one form of measurement and for smaller indoor growers efficiency is key especially when growing less than a freaken warehouse... Regardless of LED's, DE's, El Chapo still...

    Need to know the efficacy lumens per a watt... need a spec sheet... However, that was the question I was going to ask Stephen are we going to see higher wattage at similar efficiency or higher efficiency at existing wattage?

    So, from what I have learned the Ballasts are not always perfect in the amps they push out, so you may have one ballast pushing slightly more amps than advertised... which is probably where he is coming up little bit higher than the expected 23 watts... I dunno what kind of spacing he used...

    Grow mouse on his last DIY cob video he got 1.7 gpw on a 4x8 running around 800 or so watts of led and am sure he could attain the 2gpw, and the numbers on COB's are killers as an old HPS grower... HPS is something we used at the time because it was the best option, however today there is a...

    You don't need "true lab cleanliness" for gas chromatography.. Just samples, machine and injection... You would be surprised how dirty an area can be and still get straight results from GC you are just identifying to standards programmed in, and contaminants will show up...... If anyone wants to...

    Thanks for the reply and I wasn't attempting to vex you, simply been looking at upgrading from HPS, been using HPS+MH+CMH+T5 for a long long time(HPS+MH then HPS+CMH somewhere along the T5 came in). So, I been preparing to copy off of Grow Mouses design for the 5.886 heatsinks w/ 3590's... So...

    So, what is the deal with all the research papers showing UVB increases in total THC 2-5% range, and the whole biology of cannabis.? I have been reading research paper after research paper showing these increases. However, onto your point UVB is just another spectrum. I don't disagree that...

    BUD WASHING- the truth

    All I can say is wow... I can totally understand bud washing and from a "purist" view w/ medical and the monetization by main stream that bud washing will more than likely be accepted especially among the purist, medical, and health conscious crowd.. The Trichs are not going to fall off fresh...

    So, let me ask this do you think LED+UVB can help to increase overall THC production ( however not capacity of production )... Because on another thread someone mentioned that you tested higher THC% on led than HPS... They are kinda implying UVB isn't required to meet optimal thc production...
