I got buds like that last year under 2K real watts in mars2 with LSD & Phantom cookies e
this next big change up 30+ 3590's

and @REALSTYLES,
Cutter is $42/cob abd still allows discount code. He's significantly cheaper than jerry for cobs.

Heineken Buds lol
I called mine beer can buds That's what i labeled them as

best deal there is the kit , it's expensive to source all those seperatly & that reflector is expensive in the US
plus the AU dollar is weak toward the US $

neither of these fluoros put out a significant amount of UVB.

The first is a 450nm blue fluoro, spectrum wise its better than a royal blue because its a wider richer spectrum. however efficiency is very low compared to cobs.

The second is actinic blue. This can be usefull to enrich the 400-440 nm range (actinic blue), and
this is NOT UVA (<400nm). These are a nice supplement to cob lighting to widen the spectrum, but the actinic blue leds are more efficient.

if you want to cover the whole UVA+actinic range inexpensively then get some reptile T5s. UVA and UVB leds are kinda pricey

Have YOU tested or run these lamps?

I was directing the poster to someone in the process of testing these very lamps, right now.

Straight from the horse's mouth, if you like...

FWIW, it seems that @RM3 is getting good results from them, too.

So I run these spectrum LEDs over my corals in my fish tank. I ran them over a couple plants vegging to test how they would grow bud and the plants got crazy weird deficiencies. I think you would have to change your entire nutrient regimen when adding actinic blues and 10-20k whites. You can actually do pretty cheap.

I bought a couple of $60 165 watt Chinese LED panels, gutted them and replaced the epi leds with cree xml diodes cost less than $120 for 135 watt panel that should be very efficient to run.

Still running over corals though.

Fascinating stuff - I'd like to hear more.

But what Jerry is doing is giving you a combo with the holders and reflectors or lenses so Jerry is still cheaper. Cutter will still be good but wait you'll see KB prices drop after the Chinese New Year

About which Part lol. I turned one of the panels I bought into a 3 X Cree 3070 panel and the one in the picture just upgraded the diodes.

All of it! I really like to see how people adapt LED tech to their own needs.

 

[Fastslappy]

I liked the one step process put into yer cart & get'em
but I wanted that reflector so 4 me it all around the best deal
4 someone else Jerry , every DIYer is different on need & issues
i run jerry's #'s as well

leds have been in reef tech for a while. I think cobs as well. Pretty much same lighting as me just different spectrum/ lighting schedule. Corals generally need a lot of blue and some high k whites. The mh bobs for reef tanks are 10k and 20k color temp bulbs. But basically actinic and whites anywhere from 8k-20k work well. Generally 2:1 blue:white. Corals are funny because some need very intense lighting and high current and other are on the opposite side of the spectrum and need low light/low flow. Keeping a tank with mixed coral species is fun/a lot of work, figuring out compatibility and placement

Oh yeah, they fight each other if they're not compatible which is fun lol.

I used to be big in salt water reef tanks. lots of fun. clams, tangs and angelfish were my favs. and there is always another crazy coral.
but then I realized if I grew cannabis instead the "lights" would pay for themselves
