what's your opinion on the max production per given area? I ask because I wonder what is the highest density of plant growth a limited area can contain?

I'm thinking that air quality maybe become the most difficult to control, before plant mass does. I'm looking at 4x4 or 4x8 spaces not commercial areas.

I think it's open ended. If conditions can be kept under control, density can get very high indeed. Of course that's the key limitation, isn't it?

What kind of air quality are you concerned about? Heat? Moisture? Air flow?

I was thinking that airflow is the control factor for heat and moisture. drawing air in, vs airflow thru the canopy. I ask because I can envision multiple vertical screens and would need to figure minimum spacing to get good air movement thru the canopy. I'm thinking I can run 3 vertical screens in a 4'x4'x6'6 tent. 4 might be possible but spacing and airflow would need to be addressed. I can see however, the density you could achieve on a commercial scale!

No reason you can't run plants on all four sides of your tent, you just need some way to gain access inside. The airflow is the same. Draw cool air in the bottom and exhaust warm moist air out the top.

Hey Tty next thursday lets go check out the warehouse.. I would be down for tomorrow/today but unfortunately I'm not in right mindset to drive..

But I know you want to go.. And I do too.. Hell I haven't seen Texas Kid in about 10 years..

Say goodbye to those fucking Allstart lamps. They're in the process of being replaced by COB LED. Every goddamned power sucking, misleadingly labeled one of them. Ask me how I REALLY feel, LOL

Fuckers pissed me off so much I'm starting my own line of COB LED lighting. So for that, perhaps I should thank them...

How long have you been flowering under the cobs?

In my experience, my led grow was more frosty then the HID's.. We just needed more penetration.

So my brother is saying the #'s for those 315cmh are the best.. Meh I think they do great for veg.. But I don't know about flower..

And fuck it, let him buy yours so I can have my lights back lol

Ten whole days now, lol

I'm expecting similar frost to my 860W results. MOAR YIELD, though!

What numbers for the 315W? They aren't the most efficient lighting system, and they aren't the best UV sources, either.

I'm getting mine wired up to go into my veg room tomorrow, anyway.

Yeah I remember you saying that they kinda suck. I've had great results vegging peppers and other random plants with them, but never tried them with MJ..

So your doing your veg room in all 315w?

Yes, two will replace each Allstart and one will replace each 600W HPS. This will give just about the equivalent amount of PAR. If that isn't enough, I can run up to ten kits in that room and still be pulling fewer watts than I am now!
