I am already set on Nanolux for my new room.
Gavita has the most hype but Nanolux has the best fixture it seems.

Agreed.and some use soft whites full spectrum but at the end of the day its what ever got you there the fastest produced good quality an most importantly yield
Its fact that a higher red in flower is better and a higher blue in veg is better.The PAR rating matters but not completely. Kelvin output..... In bud some growers use a higher RED spectrum and a higher BLUE spectrum in veg. Some even use red and blue in both stages. Lumens are a part of the PAR calculation... Kelvin or heat rating of light can be confusing. There are so many factors when choosing a bulb, reflector, ballast... If you're a grower who looks at PAR and thats it and it works then don't fix it.... Some growers research and ask questions about other styles and techniques. Makes growing fun and rewarding...... Good luck.
So DE>HPS & CDM>DE. How do you feel about a combination of both DE & CDM? Also I'm curious if LED and LEP will ever catch up to HPS, DE or CDM. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this and real world examples in play.Gavita lighting is beating normal HPS........CDM is beating Gavita.....(Ceramic Discharge Metal Halide)..
Here - this has a LOT of good info on DE - CDM - HPS and new COB LED's you build. Your going to have to read into it deeply....Great thread.

LED is a great technology.So DE>HPS & CDM>DE. How do you feel about a combination of both DE & CDM? Also I'm curious if LED and LEP will ever catch up to HPS, DE or CDM. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this and real world examples in play.
I'm preparing to start a new setup soon (30x20x10 flower) and wondering how combining lighting plays out. I was thinking perhaps gavitas DE fixed into the ceiling with CDM on pulleys and staggered.
Very interesting read BTW on your perspectives on far red lighting supplement and lowering "on" times. I read a while ago about starting 12/12 in flower, and tapering down as weeks go by (13/11, 16/8, 18/6).
u/mols (the real way to measure plant light), Spectrum. The CDM's deliver the low end blue's (more spectrum across the board) and even UV lighting lacking in HID spectral performance. All the while giving up no PAR availability. CDM's are 315w = Save money but, only have a 3x3 footprint...The Blue end helps ripening and the UV increases potency.interesting will have to have a read you mention beating Gavita ??? as in how ?? efficiency surely not yield i am seeing 3 pounds per 1 k with my eyes closed i am hearing from my close friends pulling 3.5 to 4 pounds off nanolux DE units here is a actual outside test done comparing nano to oshio gavita etc mind you with them numbers buddies are getting its a no brainer to have ordered some
Mind you 415 dollars for one Nano DE unit i am very curious what the costs would be to get 3.5 - 4 pounds from CDM initial cost the same ??? 415 bucks
That's all not so ,,,,, boy, how do I say this?.......Not really in a way......PAR lighting spectrum will case more rapid growth and longer node space. Depending on when used.Its fact that a higher red in flower is better and a higher blue in veg is better.
Nothing new their mate.
I belong to a little grower "co-op" a cpl of us started some years back.....We get together and compare notes and new things we try and tests we do on products and new idea's......With that said. We have a cpl of guys who do mix lighting and have wonderful results....Your idea of fixed Gav's and moving CDM is interesting......You might look at Light movers (The higher speed one's) as that would have them in play for all the plants during "on time".So DE>HPS & CDM>DE.

Was my first INDOOR HYDRO GROW.@Dr. Who I like you, you post quality info and I respect that. I just feel the need to stop you in this thread. The other day @chuck estevez was pwning a newbie about flushing and then he found out that this loud mouth arrogant bastard had never even cloned before. Yet he(the mood) was talking like it was the word of God(flushing that is) after our boy Chuck found out it was over.
Same things going on here, this dude is a newb talking about "advanced level shit" but just February of this year he himself started a newb thread.
https://www.rollitup.org/t/newbie-grower-help.860392/
This dude is more worried about numbers on paper and "crunching numbers" as opposed to real world results. All companies that produce a product are going to attempt to sell the fuck out of it. So their numbers are going to be inflated for sells. Or they will pay a person to give them a good review. All this research Trippyshits is talking about is most likely hype. Does anyone remember his last thread when he was talking about LEDs and how much he will yield from them? He was saying things like "I know for a fact" and "my friends are doing this right now" blah blah bullshit.
So to sum this up Doc, don't cast your pearls before swine.
Was my first INDOOR HYDRO GROW.
Since then I have been running 4 rooms mate,
This is irelivant.
I have a full LED room mate.
Please watch your mouth.
No never grown myself. I have been around grows but this is my first grow.
What would you guess an avg yield would be? thanks
WHich LEC systemsu/mols (the real way to measure plant light), Spectrum.

This testing was done just a few months ago and got a feature article in High Times......They went Goo - Goo for the CDM
The 315w cdm is not cheap at 500 per but includes a special square wave ballast to make the 315 as effective as 1K HID

Still CDM needs red spectrum for flowers or else its just supplemental lighting.u/mols (the real way to measure plant light), Spectrum.
