that red blue ship sailed a while ago for me, whites firmly have my attention now.

Already been making them. There are customers that are stuck on the peaks. And some that simple want major red spectrum, stand alone or supplemental.
No more side by sides for me. Just some growing with my current stockpile.
After seeing it in person...it's mind blowingly powerful. The whites are relatively easton the eyes...higher CRI+it's white. The R/B is so contrasting to what is normal/comfortable it just give a way better perspective on the photon power.that red blue ship sailed a while ago for me, whites firmly have my attention now.
I am a white led believer...but I know the plants do like the red...imagine an R4 or R3...instead of R1/2's. so put white into where the blues on the R/B are. Just a thought.

Maybe mix the reds, like a 2/1 630/660 ratio to fill it out a little more on that end and spread some of the love around, just my untrained minds thoughts on it.

I've noticed it's much easier on the eyes in the tent now with the newer panel having white lights on it.
I won't say I've searched everywhere for more info on white spectrum lights, I've only really looked on one page of Google results but being a lazy arse stoner any links would be apppreciated

The 2 x 3ft light bars I bought from the company that shall remain nameless (in my threads, though) to be used as supplemental during flower I selected 90% 3000/2700 + a few 450 & 660
I would not be surprised if they also work well for vegging

I wonder how all white at600 or at200 would perform l
we all know already what you selected. For the 200th time

Well this is what my well know and proven brand light is doing against the industry leader(1000w hps)...
I took the divider down to start the harvest...such a different look. So much more space Next run will be a truly magnificent spectacle.
And the size difference isn't very much when they are right next to each other(left is apache, right is hps)...

^^^^^^^are you going to use the 1000 for target practice now lol...
I'm not the first or even the 3rd to say that either. "we" speaks for the whole led community on riu.

Hyroot, you need to let this go. It is eating at you for no good reason
No one bitches when I promote A 51 or Apache. Probably as many times, or more, from December to date
Here's another grow thread (not mine) using a SPYDR 600
Does it look like it's doing a mediocre job, how about comparable?
Maybe you will come around- eventually that BML is a worthy option
I still don't have mine to provide my own proof

when people ask is one thing. but when you randomly post the same thing on multiple times on the same thread and on multiple threads it gets very annoying... keep it to your own thread unless asked otherwise....

Something like that. It's not coming back hopefully ever. Maybe an appearance in the winter for another side by side...but that is a longs ways off. And if this harvest comes out within reason yield wise...it won't eve come back.
The last line you wrote is the operative line.
Welcome to the testes club...prepare for everyone to tare every piece of info you type on here to shreds...I have been dealing with it since I came on here with my over price AT120's. I don't blame people, just the way it is. The way to get around that is simple...
I don't go around telling people to buy AT's...in fact you will see me saying no to at200 all the time. AT600 different question. But I for the most part I don't go out of MY OWN THREAD to tell people about it. I just grow and show...others can decide how good they light I SHOW is PERFORMING.
Recently I broke that credo and went pretty aggressive with the calworhtington guy...that is because you started in with this BML shit again. I'm sure it will be a great light...but it's 300w of un proven lights with cannnabis...and you retelling him to get them(and less wattage vs other brands) over 2 brands(a51, and Apache) that have proven them selves for at least 2 years(a51, since the cree craze) and Apache since the beginning. You didn't see me come on here and go "apache is so good just look at what Puff is doing..." Ganted, that would be a worthy showing(puff kills it), but you should get the point.
You have the light(s)...now grow with them and show what they can do...your already into flower...and truthfully most will make their decisions before it's ever finished. I saw that guys thread...nice....but then you see the whole plant at once in the pic and it's not that impressive. Just my opinion.
EDIT: hyroot you and I must have been venting at the same time.

glad to see ya finally got an ir thermometer....I knew you'd like it they're an indispensable tool for an indoor grower imo. So did you check the temp of the led panel for me then? If you did and I missed it i'm sorry, I just scrolled through like ten pages of posts in this thread trying to catch up lol
great final results btw, very impressive on both sides imo.
and whoever it was who said that co2 kills bugs was full of s&^it!
