I have been considering the hlg 260 quantum board kit (in stock on hlg website) for 305 shipped or the version 2 for 330 or a sun system 315 lec all in one for 370 shipped from growers house (in stock) for a 3’x3’ area.

There use to be good debate over light and more the science of it and nay so much which light was the best. Hps bulbs were qll the rage with the extra blue.

Then from nowhere in steps leds with some freaking outrageous claims, a whole membership later and they still struggle, are overpriced and cause some to want to argue everyone else down until they are the best by default.

Case in point is that to a real biologist PPFD is only a loose representation of plant growth yet led users cite it as the be all and end all.

So we go full circle, years ago we talked how in ppfd that the sum of red blue and green is greater than the sum of just red and blue and here years later were back to trying to tell them the same thing.

Kinda sucks :-)

I used your favorite lighting source 14 years ago & have no problem if the song Living In The Past by Jethro Tull is constantly going around in your head.

To correct the science you preach so much for.

Hps has red peaks. Not blue. That’s metal halide.


And the new led streetlamps/ high bay lights are even brighter and more efficient so that it is natural to produce them as grow lights.

The same way hps got into horticulture.


And the legitimate companies quote umols. Like a Greenhouse manager would need to figure coverage.

You forgot to tell everyone you've been here sooo much longer than everyone else so you are right by default. One day you may realize a smart phone is better than texting on your flip phone.

To correct your trolling hps had added blue a while back, try reading before trolling :-)

Ya but ive been less aggressive than you that come here with a cross to burn over leds and yours is the superiority problem not mine.

What would you have me do " talk bro science shit like you or simply speak the truth "?

Again that question to those that push ppfd into every thread.... :-)
