DatilI can eat ridiculously hot peppers but they taste lousy.
Hot peppers that have good flavor are hard to come by.
Great for SAD, though!you're fuck'n killing me
Thanks, I'll look for them!Datil

Many of the yellow ones are fruitier
Yes it does work fine and is a bit stretchy and I wonder if the blue in the 4k would help that or would you need less red and the same blue like the 5k.I've run a veg under HPS and it worked fine. Stretchy but that was desirable because I'm growing tall pants.
My autos were stacked in veg. Light height and wattage play a role. If you look at the fan leaves in any of the grow pics under these boards you can tell the lights are putting out what the plant wants. I get to see that every time I open my tentYes it does work fine and is a bit stretchy and I wonder if the blue in the 4k would help that or would you need less red and the same blue like the 5k.
I like Thai as well.Thanks, I'll look for them!
My fav is still the red Thai chili pepper.
Stephen thinks a 4 board rig is close to 1000 W HPS. Most of those Gavitas have 10 to 12 foot ceilings. I know someone in CO running 6 HPS SE 1000 watts in a 11 x 16 room and it is below zero outside. The not well insulated garage it still in the 80s'+ overnight because the lghts are so hot.That is a very nice build! I love the custom dimmer housing! And thanks for the PAR map! Guessing you have the boards at ~125W?
Am I crazy but wouldn't a similar 550W quad-board fixture not compete with a DE1000 on a 4x4? One q-board on center per 2x2 grid....
I mean, the giant wharehouse ops have the gavitas stuck to the ceiling, with the whole room is getting an ambient 400-500 par. It seems like the same ballpark with the q-boards at 24" over the canopy.
Our friends with the creepy golden death mask avatar said his QB board in a Mars Hydro case runs about 74 Deg F.I moved my driver outside the tent for this reason, not that it was overly hot anyway. I used to use the 1k watt HIDs and it was a nightmare trying to keep the grow space cool. Now it feels like I'm using a 500w HID in a 2x2 without active cooling running at ambient temps. Way more easy to dial in atmospheric conditions.
They may be using the active cooling fans that are in the Mars case. I'm just 2x boards, heat sinks and L channel lol. The couple of 6" clip fans I have running plus the 4" filter extraction keeps things cool. I have a small heater on a thermostat to keep the temps optomal.Our friends with the creepy golden death mask avatar said his QB board in a Mars Hydro case runs about 74 Deg F.
It's a spectrum, pardon the pun; the more blue, the more compact the plant will grow.Yes it does work fine and is a bit stretchy and I wonder if the blue in the 4k would help that or would you need less red and the same blue like the 5k.
Might be partly why my Psycho Killers were so damn short and compressed. I have never seen a plant with 20 branches be 10" tall beforeIt's a spectrum, pardon the pun; the more blue, the more compact the plant will grow.
Yes the case fans play a good part in panel cooling. Twin fans ( i believe were 40cfm ) are on an independent driver to provide the 12v. The case interior is void of any obstructions so the fans blow across the full surface area of QB board. The case vents also helps and can feel good airflow from them.They may be using the active cooling fans that are in the Mars case. I'm just 2x boards, heat sinks and L channel lol.

5500K led street lightsThat makes me wonder if the 4k might be better than the 5k. It appears they both have the same amount of blue but the 4k just has a lot more red spectrum than the 5k. I don't want lanky plants but I sure don't want them compressed either.
I would rather them stretch and top them if needed.
@bassman999. What were you Vegging under?
I'm pretty sure the ones they've been installing around here are closer to 3500-4000K. I like them; they don't produce eyestrain, they don't screw with your night vision like bluer lights do and yet they're plenty dammed bright- which, you know, would be kind of the point of having them in the first place!5500K led street lights
