Oh and before I get trolled 8) I'll be the first to admit the light/color thing can be an optical illusion of sorts, you know that whole reflection, refraction, absorption thing

Today we're gonna talk about why I want to mix LED with T5, but it is also about so many folks that think the 1, 3, or 5 watt leds are crap?
And to demonstrate this very cool phenomenon we're gonna visit my cloning tray

The first pic shows it in action, the clones are rooted and growing and are 3 to 5 inches tall. The lights are a 15 watt T8 2700K and a 23 rated watts led with 15, 1 watt diodes. The T8 is 10 to 12 inches off the canopy depending on point of reference. The led is a tad over 2 feet off the canopy and is a blurple led with 10 red, 4 blue and 1 UV diodes. (2nd pic)

I still stand with my stance. 20% efficient is still not worth it. Might as well use a $12 citi 1212 and use that for the same thing. And it can be used for a bunch more

Yall do realize there's more then 1 way too grow right, I will say this rm told me about sulfur after a post I read of his I switched feed and he was correct I'm not saying he's 100 percent correct all the time but I am saying try it if it doesn't work move on instead of trying to tell him he's wrong

Wow had to ignore 2 idiots. Okay now Rid is and always be a straight up cool man. I dont do everything Rm3 does as I am my own grower. I must say allot of things I do is because of his research. I am gonna bet that light will be awesome. I currently have 5 diff CTF's going and will see what phenos make the top list. I also have the #4 cut that is going around as you seen in that pick. Not everyone does what rid teaches as @ttystikk is on his own journey and loving it. But you seen how he fights back for rm3 as its about respect which RM3 has my full respect.

It may not be immediately evident, but there's a lot I do that comes from his work.

It's sad that there are so many who have nothing better to do with their time than constantly harass others on this forum.

Let's assume, for arguments sake, that it is not an "optical illusion" generated by "reflection, refraction, absorption" (which "it is"). How is this at all beneficial to cannabis and distinguishes your light from others?

Not trolling, genuinely curious.

The 2 big standouts would be the programming and dual lens configuration. The design to penetrate 3 feet of water, with a recommended placement of 2 feet above the tank, that's 5 feet of penetration from 3 watt diodes. The first thing I learned when I switched to T5's was that aquarium bulbs out performed all others for this very reason. Match that with spectrum ratio's I have spent years figuring out for a much higher quality product.

The one thing in the optical illusion pics that is real is the tric and resin development from the 1 watt UV diode at 2+ feet 8)

I put my plants under a UV enhanced aquarium led for their last week or so and I've had good results from that. They end up Frostier then ever.
