Hello

it is me again and i got something

so i got some new LED lights and i can tweak them i just do not know what tweaking i want to do so i am here since i grow auto flowers
led wave and placement.PNG
this is what i am working here
4 groups i can control each group power by percents .....with 8 time points on this where i can set changes

so what do u guys think i should set my system too.......here is what is pre programmed

currently i have 2 lights set in my 5x5 flowering tent ......on their flowering mode until i program my own for trail and error

i've looked at these lights.. really looked like you could do some interesting things w/them.. i would probably be hitting them w/everything too but mess w/having the light intensity increase/decrease slowly when the lights went on and off.. i think they would be more beneficial w/photos.. you might be able to stretch them longer then 12hr w/a sun rise and sun set... what ever you do w/them you'll keep yourself busy for a while

well the reason i got them was to increase the skills and understanding i have with them ..........i been messing around with super soils last batch i learned a important less just little feed not even 1/8 power messed up 2 plant 3rd is iffy

photo turn around time is to long i am always altering strains feeds and soils for the last 2 years ...............photo are something for just cash when u have a shop or not into experiments to kill time

currently set too
L1 100%
L2 100%
L3 65%
L4 100%

i could see an advantage using the blues during veg and the red's during flower ,
but at the same time the auto junkie in me say's if you already have the led's above the plant why not use it :p

and you might need UV glasses or to turn your panel off when you are around it since its using the UV diodes i soldiered a zener around mine since just after a few exposures too it gave me a slight case of arch burn like i was around a TIG welder for too long with no shades

well i got 2 of them in a 5x5 .....2 600w
http://www.ledzeal.com/p44.html
the par info is down page some ,,,,,,,,,,,,,but if the thinking is right i have more power then the 1000w i had in there

they do it in meters so they are anywhere from 1 meter to 0.3 meter from the light ( 6 foot tent is 1.8 meters with 1 foot taken away for the planter height leaving me 1.5 meters at soil top lvl .....one plant is less then 8 inches from touching the light)

as for the UV i have those eagle eye glasses with uv protection of 400

I would like to see some pics???

pics of what man
lights ..........see what i can do but not sure if they will be clear or that line thing u see with camera phones and leds (if u want pics of the different modes i will try that too but again not sure if it will have those lines in it )
plants .........the lights have only been in there for 4 days and the plants are messed up i got lock out and toxic from super soil and playing with feeding ( wanted to see if i could push it more i could not ) so those 6 plants most likely will be blown or turned into cannabutter for holiday gifts

i am setting up my control plants now to test the lights ...........super soil and use water (maybe little rooting at start) if does as well as it should i just need to test ffof and feeding on it make the choice on what method of soil i want and winter is here so i can start hydro experiments again

but the heat variable has been removed from my system that HPS light did well .....but the amount of heat it made even with a over kill on the fan if the intake temps got above 75 i would have heat stress on the plants ( the outdoor temp is like 95 or higher the ac can only do so much) .......now i am running about a 7 degree temp change from intake to highest point in my tent ( this is at low power on the fan full power it like 2 degrees).......this lowers the power use too and allows me to think about doing hydro with out the need of a water chiller (or just use of a redneck one frozen bottles in the mixing cell to cool the whole system RDWC system or undercurrent)

Well not trying to insult you or start trouble but there is alot of people who are visual like me and have this curiosity to see the lights set up and plants
