Ethos Banana Hammock comparative(exodus thread)

So... this lux meter is working good. Trying to find a conversion factor... not so good. HLG 100.

Anyhow, looking at the ppfd measurements and what they are at what distances, the lux x100 number seems close to what the ppfd is lol. There's a YouTube video of ppfd testing this light, my lux readings at those heights match the ppfd readings in the video pretty close. So... WTF lol.

Look at the lux to ppfd conversion link i posted several times...

The conver factor depends on the diode(s) not the board...

I assume that’s either a v1 or v2 diode...

Board at the top of the tent, almost 4 ft gets me 100 x100. Plugged in it gives me 143ppfd. I can't get it any higher. Just doesn't seem right to me.

Why not seem rigjt? Too dim, too bright?

These are supposed to be smaller/cheaper boards I thought?

The guy in the video had 100ppfd at 36". I get that on my meter. 18", he had almost 300, same as what I get.

Using the formula, boards 4ft above the meter and I'm getting 143ppfd? Why the hell doesn't everyone buy these boards then lol.

Too many people got burned on cheap blurples so everyone and their moms a LED skeptic. Or they’re stuck in their ways with HPS.
 
Well, where I would ordinarily put seedlings under the HPS is reading real close to 100... sonofabitch lol.

I don't know how much the conversion factor changes that. I do have 2 in there, so it just must be that bright.

Good, then sounds like your calcing correctly....

Cuz they’re frequently outta stock?

Unless they are dried out or beyond your trich color threshold, keep flushing, only improves tastability.

if you need it now, really doesn’t matter, you harvest...

I have a 2 week window I could stretch the flush out for I suppose.

My soil plants faded faster than this :/ it’s gotta be because of the submerged smart pots

Going home tonight to flip all the res’s over back to 60 ppm tap water

I don’t think I’m going to go buy 70 gallons of distilled water :/ gotta make due!

Thx for the advice guys
