Check with @Stephenj37826 and @robincnn they're doing a joint venture with these from what I understand. I will be trying out one of the retro fit kits after the holidays when I get settled at my new place. They look promising. I want to see what this kit does vs my 1K HPS............
They look super interesting! I really hope LED gets ultra cheap at some point
Never mind I understand - they look cooooool
If you have a dedicated lamp for seed starts you can roll 24/7 otherwise just use your veg 18/6 photoperiod
If those boards are good that's really cool. I like those a lot.
What I'm trying to tell you is you're reading the installation manual but you only used one bar. If you contact Phillips and get one of their advisers to help you design a system they'll tell you that one bar just not meant to be used by itself and they will help you design a system using multiple bars which gives you overlap and They even calculate your P PFD and give you charts of how much coverage and intensity you're going to get and they make sure to give you a system that matches the intensity you need for the plants are trying to grow. So when I'm trying to say is just following what's in the instruction manual isn't enough because Philips stresses everywhere that you need a consult with their specialists to make sure ou design your system correctly.Bro you are just wrong on this and we will not see eye to eye ever on this.
I even tried digging up the original installation info on the Gen1 Green Power Modules with regard to spacing and distance to shelf height and it seems the internet has been scrubbed of that document.
I am glad you are happy with them but what I am still saying is that if that module lacks the balls to grow a lettuce seedling without becoming a long neck goose the way I used it (which a T5 will) then it has no place in my grow room
Readers can take this to mean what they want but it is what it is
And also because you can't figure out how to use it you trash on other people that have success with them it seems pretty pathetic
Can you build the same light as his for that price, as in the housing and everything I don't know. Remember he has spent money as a business for certifying lights to standards and what not, so my answer to that question worded like that is no.
Everybody keep calm, this is not an argument but rather a discussion and I have not trashed on anyone or their success
I don't think there are rules, just that we are trying to use cobs. Also, if no one told you yet.
R and B work without white or green. I know there are different "shades" of red and blue, I'm not sure which nm mine are but they work good. They don't have white or green.
