I think you would do well to understand 'exactly' what ppfd is and isn't.
If you would like to learn, spend some time in the LED subforum in the indoor growing forum, I believe you will find it very informative. There are very bright people discussing all aspects of LED technology and research and science. Definitely worth a visit.I think you would do well to understand 'exactly' what ppfd is and isn't.
It is inaccurate but leds have mis-sold you as it being accurate.
I get very little back if i start a convo with led hypsters, defo zero actual science
Not trying to argue, at all, personally i think HID and LED both work great. But do you mean science will prevail and prove that current HID tech is better than current LED tech? Maybe? Disregarding everything else subjective in the argument, idk how you could possibly think that science will never develop more efficient grow lights than, what i presume you're referring to, HID. Do you really believe HID to be the be-all-end-all of indoor grow lighting and trying to push technology forward is futile?
The future of grow lights is the hazardous highly efficient super heated/charged elements presently making way in science today. Once nasa and other companies make them safer and cheaper were all there.
I have learnt, grown, contributed here and so much more.
Interesting. In my opinion they are all viable. I guess I'm not sure which is the "best". I have grown outdoor, with cfls, with hps, and with leds. these days i choose to grow with LEDs because i enjoy designing and building fixtures that are tailored to my specific space, and they seem easier to keep cool as its very hot where i live. not to mention its fun for me. and it works for me. which is what i believe is most important when growing this stuff.
Leds work just fine were all good there.
Fair enough, thank you for your contributions, I appreciate forums like this and folk like you providing frequently useful information to others seeking learning and understanding.I have learnt, grown, contributed here and so much more.
I made a statement just deal with it and go troll on another forum (preferably one youve spent 7 years on).
Sorry my bad, just get this led stuff far too much.
I dont like wind from negative pressure and now run very little extraction.
Yeah people have a tendency to get pretty aggressive on RIU. And there are plenty of LED companies helped give LED a bad name. But i've had success growing with DIY LEDs and its a fun hobby. I enjoy the customization aspect of it. It is pricey but they last a long time. And sometimes your friends see them and the success you're havin and wanna buy one from ya.Sorry my bad, just get this led stuff far too much.
Leds have plenty to discuss and i do read a lot but my input there would be negative to their fun most likely and this is a more general forum.
My main problem with leds is merely their price, had they been the same as cmh it might have been interesting especially for us small plant growers
Name? Link?
We are not an industry at the forefront of lighting, the car industry, nasa, philips and others are and have experimented/produced better sources of ligght than all grow lights to present.
Leds are just fine, good lights.
Just to point out to the previous new poster that hype is everywhere with leds, this guy is saying 400/450w led is as good as a 600w hps.
You don't win an argument against someone spouting pure bullshit by spouting pure bullshit.
That's where other arguments come in though, and where things can REALLY get interesting.Sorry my bad, just get this led stuff far too much.
