Nevergood's high power garden

I just realized that I never post a pic of the GC dry.

Last part of the test is now in the hands of @Alex Lau . Maybe we will get his opinion on it, as long as he leaves enough for the lab=.

 

[nevergoodenuf]

Things are looking good. Will be adjusting the lights one more time.

Did You stop using Starlite led heatsinks?

 

[nevergoodenuf]

No, these are the Coolbay Tera's, but they are much heavier than the Starlite heat sinks. Also the Starlite do not have a heatpipe design. Right now I am really happy with the Starlites except the boat ride takes a while.

I Have some CLU 550s and some CLU056s and some cobholders Im trying to sell VER 4

Thanks to @Alex Lau for coming threw so quickly. This is a one against one comparison, but my thinking is spectrum as much less to do with the end product. If you need stretch, go warmer. Less stretch, run cooler.

 

[JorgeGonzales]

Practically identical. Thanks for this @nevergoodenuf. This side by side might have gotten a little buried in this thead, but this is great stuff. Weight and analysis too close to call, is that fair to say? Less larf, more weight on the high CRI, but maybe a 5% difference on a single grow, tough to say whether it means much.

Anything you saw in person that hasn't been mentioned yet?

Seriously, thank you and congrats on seeing this through to the end.

 

[nevergoodenuf]

@JorgeGonzales I know it got somewhat buried, I have done multiple threads before and it is exhausting. I just got in the CLU058 3618 3500k 80cri and I am going to stick with that or when they get the 3500k 90cri I might switch.

Also got my layout even on the wall.

Oooooo look! Wind chimes!

Lol looks cool, actually-

Awesome experimentation & documentation as usual! Thanks for all your work!

I found it interesting that the terpene "Limonene" which is usually described as "bright and sunny" & associated with feelings of happiness, was in higher concentration on the 95 CRI COB which is closer to the spectrum of the sun...

 

[bassman999]

So the consensus is that the higher CRI can produce as good or better weed than the lower CRI even with the lower lm/w on paper?

 

[nevergoodenuf]

Yes.

 

[bassman999]

Yes.

im wodering how far back from the plants you have those cobs on the vert experiment ? looked like more terps from high cri but idk if those numbers are all that dif

 

[nevergoodenuf]

@around 125- 170watts each the vertical COBs were about 15" away, now I have them at about 18+". The other spot is running at 250 per COB and they are, now, at 24+".

I guess they were to close, unless this damage looks like something else to anyone. View attachment 3757755

That looks like they ran out of something while trying to utilize all that light.

Looks like K deficiency, likely because they ran out of that first.

That damage is NOT light bleaching, I've seen that and yours isn't it.

 

[nevergoodenuf]

I guess I need to up the ppm's higher than 800. New strain, new problems.
