Thank you for your answer.
Yeah the idea to remove the defuser was passed on to me from an article I read. It actually increases par. I would have been very sceptical of using this bulbs , but after reading the article ,I thought I would give it a try . I was just looking for some gentle light to put over a diy bubble cloner. After building my light rig it worked so well, I was very impressed . Then I needed some extra light for the clones until the hps was available and started vegging under them and wow they are unbelievable . Now I have the room under the 600w but I dicided to run one clone as a test comparison . The damn 19w LEDs are out preforming the 600w , I still think the 600 is going to produce more weight , because of par , but it's been interesting .
What do you mean by PAR?
No to lazy to keep up a journal. I only use them for veg. I think Cree 3070's or 3050's become more cost effective to get the light intensity you need for good dense buds. I do feel you could grow some decent bud under led light bulbs after watching the plants more than happy to grow under just 4 of them in 2x5 space. well pictures show it..
Par is what plants see , Lumen's is what people see. I forget what it means ,I am high right now.
That is legitimately crazy shit, broI had 129 actual watts worth of 2700k bulbs (mix of 15 & 13w bulbs from different stores, 9 bulbs in total) in a 2.9 sq foot cabinet. Went from seed to harvest with them so having another 3 bulbs in a space 1/3rd bigger would work out roughly the same. I got 3.5 oz and I am still a newbie grower so would expect more experienced people to do better.
I had to put some globes back on to try and spread the light as the plants were nearly touching and I had no more room to take the lights upwards, as it is only a 30" high cupboard.
I give the globes a good smack with a hammer against a concrete floor all the way round then jam a screwdriver in the joint and twist it. Try various places with the screwdriver, there is always a weak spot. Once you get the silicon sealant to move slightly they just pop off.
Yah I like to keep mine at 75 during lights on an 70 lights off. Helps to keeps buds dense, the ones I just finished is like trying to crush a marble in my grinder
ROFL. Sorry , dont know why but this floored me. lmao. XD
