You sound like someone who would get a real kick out of DIY leds ;)

Leaves look very unusual. Do you use heavy uv already in veg? Maybe strain related aswell

Following along on this one, i like the berry vrs fruit terpprofile very much from a recent phenorun of some purple punch x black banana Kush crossed with a buddies private genetics.

Honestly id just look into uv leds. On this bulb theres only about what 30% output in the violet/uv region and pretty much nothing in sub 350nm region, the rest is normal par, and quite inefficient. UV leds have become cheap and efficient by now, especially if youre happy to solder up some...

Its a red led and not a blue based white led. Reds are inherently more photon efficient since each photon carries less energy. These diodes are somewhat old, article is from -23, the latest osram.reds are the Osconic line, with even a little more efficiency, main thru lower voltage and energy...

Most semiconductors trade at a higher prices after the pandemic.

What type of medium are you in? We balance ec in with whatever EC out we get. First water one plant and measure; and then adapt the feed and water it again if needs be. Take note on your ec out and figure out what works best for you. We saw good results from increasing EC during mid flower (coco...

I dont really think theres much of savings in diy led anymore unless you get some type of deal on your leds. Maybe buying enough leds for a couple of lights? But for a single light its harder nowadays with ali prices gone thru the floor.

Lumens are for humans. They are 2.9something ppf/w which is approximately equivalent to somewhere around 200lum/w. Its the red supp; it carries much more photons than lumens. And this is at around 50w operation, a little more efficiency if you go lower watts.

Thank you i stand corrected :) I guess i havent looked thru whats out there recently. Ill have a look thru these, very interesting.

Not in any strips from general distributors, only in grow strips. Alibaba places have some offerings if you look around

Lets face it Elon Musk lost more net wealth in the last couple of months than all the US aid (military and civil) that the US has given to Ukraine during 3 years. This says a lot of both him, Biden and Trump. Think whatever you like about his politics but he sure as hell is very efficient at...

Amazon advice: do shop there but dont start your search there, youll wade thru a sea of the last two decades of shitty lights in order to find the few good ones.

Autos may need less intensity, if you have increased daylight hours.

Read thru to see if you figured out what happened cause initial photos didnt look like too much light to me; sure some tacoing but missing all tell tale signs of led over lighting: bleached green and purple stems would normally show before tacoing. Glad you got it figured out:)
