lol! so pretty much any light you throw at it will do the job? perhaps my low end import experiment is not really an experiment after all, its just one guy growing lettuce with a light that has been tested already that will work. while the coolness factor is gone, the hey, i'm going to actually get lettuce factor is here.
The biggest question will be what color will it be?
im putting my eggs in the 6500k basket. I have heard that is the right color, but i have heard there are better options, like in the 4700k range. So no idea.
thats is really cool looking, is that a MH in the middle? that can be done for 600? that's a fair price
That's just the lighting requirements. That octagon could probably build out for 600 to 800. Guessing roi on the hole thing would be 4 crops if you add in your time. On lettuce that is.....
i didn't see much info on the lighting, so it looks like maybe 3 MH bulbs in a tub running vertical? any idea on what wattage they are?
Seen this first and and know a local shop owner as well. Basically they only want to stock what a customers is already lined up to pay for and everything else is "we can order it"
Fucken Hippies and their OrganicsSeen this first and and know a local shop owner as well. Basically they only want to stock what a customers is already lined up to pay for and everything else is "we can order it"
I am in cali where the Humbolt Hippie attitude is live and well. They all bash powdered and liquid chem ferts and praise "orgainic" everything.
Not long ago the trend was "Peruvian Gold" products. I asked the shop owner why he like those so well and recommended them so highly - he said "Application Rate" lol Gotta poor that shit on to get any benefit from it
Contact a commercial lighting manufacturer that sells to farms and they are pressed to be more legit and actually be able to provide meaningful information to their clients to keep a good reputation.Seen this first and and know a local shop owner as well.

They seem to be top shelf.My theory is that it is the lack of the dip around 500nm in the X5 that most led's suffer from that is the improving factor.
Though I would love to have seen some more traditional larger leaf varieties to get a better picture of the formation characteristics
Ask him to grow out a "buttercrunch" lettuce to full head size to give us some perspective of the power
How much were the bars h- hot many did he buy?
I picked up something similar, the wall watts are 22-23 per 4 foot light, i can give you a LM rating if you tell me how you would like to see it. (1 light, how many inched above the LM meter). They tell me they are about 2500 lm.
How much each are they?
Actually I don't know where. Care to share?
they come out to be about 6.10 or so a piece. that's with shipping, then to ship to you its about 25 bucks more.
