well I just come back from Prague after doing trade shows in Barcelona, Michigan, San Francisco, Las Vergas, Amsterdam and Zurich and I am preparing to go to France and Spain coming months :D Sorry guys, but as you know I manage 2 large forums already and people more or less expect that I shine...

oh, and about the price: I can easily calculate for you that the investment of one LEP pays back within 1,5 crop cycle only based on the extra yield you get when adding more light to your crop, not taken into account a better price you might get for a better, healthier crop with less plagues. I...

hey guys, don't want to bump a thread unnecessary but I have some answers to your questions. The STA75 will not be available in a fixture until Q2 2013, simply because because you need to do production trials and the product needs to be ready for market. It is more efficient than the STA 41.xx...

It's a shame really. I see people going to good shops with fair prices for good advice and then buy the stuff on-line or at a discounter. You can buy anything in china in any color or shape, even a quantum housing in lumatek colors ;). Buying something from China and distributing it doesn't...

True, plasma needs more red in flowering. A combination with HPS works well. Plasma adds light quality and don't forget the UVB (at least the GAVITA plasma has a glass filter that lets through UVB, I don't know if the chameleon does too). Here's Amnesia Hase, 1 plant in scrog in a trial.

If it sounds too good to be true it usually is ;) In Holland you do a good grow (a great grow for some strains) if you yield a gram per watt light applied. So a 600W lamp grow should ideally yield about 600 gram (about 21 oz). This is under HPS. I have seen growers get that sort of result under...

No you certainly won't. If not used with a filter directly looking into the light at close distance will cause cause serious eye problems due to the high dosage of uvc. But with the filter installed as it is (the wide spectrum glass plate) there is no danger of that anymore. I have been working...

The link was already there ;)

oh about the induction lighting: I just wanted to illustrate that it is not a new technology to be used in grows. It's like T5, some people get really good results with them. Years ago I even saw a combination of a induction light and a cfl in the middle in a round reflector. Optically it's...

well if you take a little time to investigate you will find two complete grow cycles published, all the other specifics are in the product literature provided on the site and are public available at Luxim. But yes, I think you miss a few things ;) I'm not saying at all that plasma will now...

Sorry for answering this one a bit late, but there is not a lot of similarity between an induction light and a plasma light. First of all try to make a good reflector for an induxction light, look at the size. It's a different technology and different lamp and it's not that new. I have seen...

induction lights have been around for a long time. I've seen several attempts to grow with them with moderate to good results, but the story that they are far more efficient than HPS I haven't seen proven in any grow yet. Here is a link (sorry, it's in Dutch but google translator does wonders)...

Chameleon, the next to enter the thread :D Plasmargon was talking about an air cooled system with glass in front of the emitter. I haven't seen the site yet, anyone? Current results btw: We stopped the red leds as they did not seem to bring much good to the grow, and concentrate now on...

well we keep on testing, still 1.2 gr/watt/month is pretty impressive. I would really like to see that (finally). Easiest way to show it is to send one or two to a good grower to publish a test. That's a proven workable formula ;).

I think plasma could be a great innovation and everyone should be able to learn about it. So actually I am doing your promotion work by showing how it works. We just disagree how the technology should be applied. If I'm not mistaken you visited Opengrow and joined sannies thread first...

It's not possible to have a good discussion without common data to discuss. I can only speak for what we see and learn. You make it very difficult to have a decent discussion plasmargon. You sound like "if you're not with us, you're against us". Don't underestimate the impact of what you say on...

Now you're asking: I indeed wonder why you would want it so close because there is no way you can light more than a very small patch from that distance. Furthermore it is more difficult to get uniform lighting at short distances, though I suppose while the plants are turning an even lighting is...

A bigger font doesn't make a question more important ;) First of all we think the stunned bud growth is the result of not enough red spectrum in the light (too little grow light) and the UVB levels. I attribute the leaf abnormalities at short distance to the higher UVB radiation of the light...

I promised to publish some spectrum graphs for HPS and Plasma. Well here they are. first the plasma light, then the HPS. Now one thing you need to take into consideration when looking at these graphs (Luxim versus Philips HPS Greenpower): The SCALE is DIFFERENT! To be able to compare the...

Now that's a great first post with some fine content blackthumbs :mrgreen: I don't see plasma for bigger grows at this moment in time. You need at least a 300 watt plasma light to get some real intensity. On the other hand.. if the output goes up another 30% it will compete with MH or HPS...
