    How does efficiency effect a grow?

    I’d like a deepish canopy yes, the fixture is 1m x 1m in a 1.2 x 1.2 and as I’m running 8 that will be topped once with at least 4 week veg from seed I will need the penetration. Only thing I can crank up are the cobs. I’m limited to 220and 180 on the boards and have the cobs at 225 now drawing...

    How does efficiency effect a grow?

    Sweet thank you, just what I needed to be told. So would I be ok leaving them at 36inchs and letting the plants grow up to it do you think?

    How does efficiency effect a grow?

    This is what I want to do but need to know roughly what wattage to run each, thinking could lower the power to the cobs. But if running the boards at 50w each where would I need the cobs at roughly? Thanks

    How does efficiency effect a grow?

    hiw does running leds effect the way you grow? As in, do you need to run the lights closer for the same given wattage? I have 9 cxb3590s, for the purpose of this (they are copies) I have 4 fusion board copies and 4 qb304 copies and was running Roond 600w on the whole fixture which was 360w...

    Should I get yellowing at 600w?

    Getting 30000 lux at the top, but you are right after looking properly only 3 are going pale, so must be hungry and they are 12-20 inch’s away

    Should I get yellowing at 600w?

    just thought I’d described this as yellowing but it’s more like where they fade light green like their getting too much light

    Should I get yellowing at 600w?

    Thanks. Took a little while to get together just contemplating a far red initiator to cover the fixture for after lights out

    Should I get yellowing at 600w?

    And the cobs are only 300w between the 9 so reflectors help the intensity, 200 through the mixed boards then 130w though the 3500k boards all drivers are 1400ma dimmed or full on with the mixed boards

    Should I get yellowing at 600w?

    as above, should I get yellowing with 600w in a 4x4 tent? Running super efficient and quite high aswell, can’t bring myself to lower the wattage lol

    So iv spread everything out now so it’s not so cramped into a frame that is 1mx1m so the cobs are roughly 16 inch’s on centre with the boards in the centre, I think I’m going to source another driver so I can run the boards at 300w and then 100w or more to each set of 3 cobs. Seems much more...

    Could be that if I measure at 12inchs the lights don’t blend enough, maybe il try 18 inch’s and see how it goes

    I have a lux meter but with the 3k cobs and 3500k boards if they match I either need to run the boards at 20w or the cobs at 160 per 3, the 3k is nowhere near as bright as more red. I would use that if they were all the same spectrum Thanks
