Did a lowball bid on one yesterday and the offer was accepted.
This is the 2011 model, 6 band w/ 2 watt diodes. Advertised as flowering model.
Willbe used in a 2' X 2 1/2' closet where the plants don't get over 3 ft from dirt to canopy. (usually more towards 2')
Grow style varies widely and from 1 to 9 plants depending on grow style at the time.
After procrastinating for about a year on these, I thought it good to give a try with one. I know this may not be the top of the line for many of you, but for me I'm not needing(?) much. Being comfortable with the 250 MH/HPS I'm hoping this is a good alternative and somewhat compatable.
I find that most info on total grows with these to be sketchy at best (and confusing).
Questions are -
Should I be expecting to need side / low CFLs to compliment the grow of these in veg or flower?
Will my light meter still be usable when comparing light at the plant when checking intensity / penetration?
What distance for total coverage and best penetration / intensity?
And if I expand room size, how much area are these really good for covering? Think they say 3' X3',, but that's advertising and we all know how to believe that.![Wink ;-) ;-)](/styles/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Honestly, still not convinced on LEDs,,, but I've gotta find out. The "pluses" are definately inticing to me. Now if it only will work.
