I can't believe it takes 10 of those lights to equal 1 400w HPS.I can it's been going on for almost a year and a half ago

Hell I moved way out to the woods just to avoid the old soft ones. Lol.I hate it.....it seems like someone is in front of my house at all times
It's not what your write sometimes it's what you quoteI know you deleted my post but I wasn't trying to start anything. I say r.i. kidd was being a jerk to the OP for no reason and if you saw what I posted you wouldn't have deleted it. I gave the Op some good options. I'm not here to fight I have moved on from 4 years ago. I can't help how I come off. you don't know the real me. Sorry if it came off wrong but I did nothing wrong.
Well I make 12 cob that is better than a 600w HPS 24 cob that will outperform GavitaI can't believe it takes 10 of those lights to equal 1 400w HPS.
gotcha I see now it's all good.It's not what your write sometimes it's what you quote
It's easier to delete than edit
although it was no big deal just didn't like now he acted lolgotcha I see now it's all good.
I heard about that. but I was just being sarcastic. a similar thing happened back in the 70's when cities tried LPS lamps. too uellow for most people.HPS street lights give a softer light over a larger area.I am not a big fan of LED parking lot lights. to harse and not as good of coverageThere are towns with new cob streetlights that are petitioning to get their nice mellow HPS lamps back. The bright white light is stressing whole towns out.
I knew that was coming.Well I make 12 cob that is better than a 600w HPS 24 cob that will outperform Gavita
I mix 1:1:1:1 ratio by volume (5 gal pail is a good measuring tool and assume 20 gal total soil for ammendment qty) of the following; vermicastings, native sandy loam, peat/coco/or biochar, aerated compost. dress with 1-2T Lime per gallon of soil, also bone meal same amount, 1/2-2 gallon of bokashi per 20 gal soil, small handful of epsom salt. mix completely three times over with a shovel on pavement or bare soil.I can't get my hands on foxfarm soil. So I'm going to have to go with something else. I heard roots organics from someone. What's your suggestions?

Googled LED street lights and this popped up, but it seems people are more upset at their cities choice to use 4,000-5,000 kelvin rather than a lower kelvin. That article says that 3,000 kelvin should be the highest color temperature used.
I have a 600 watt unit using 12x 50 watt cobs and it's the 3000k spectrum. It does have a nice slightly yellow color to it, but much more white than hps. The problem is that the higher kelvin temps have much more blue which has a short wavelength, and it strains the eyes.Good fast research. I'm sure the k was too high on the ones that were complained about this summer.
But aren't they all bright white so to speak?
Driving around most big cities in the US you could have your headlights off and not know it for awhile, it's way too bright we need to see the stars, maaaaan.pfft...then I know a lot of head lights they need to change out first..because I know they are way too bright.
I agree I'm currently using coco with great results indoor. My point was there's a lot of better stuff than miracle grow but it will work if ur in a tite spot.I have never used soil in any of my container plants (indoors and out). My only experience with soil is with my in ground plants.
Soil-less blends are much lighter (wet or dry)...and as I am constantly moving my containers, much easier on my back.
