Quantums Overhead in Vertical Grow!

TTY: Is there somewhere those of us who are new to LED's can find a "Cliff's Notes" explanation of related terms? COB, CREE, CDM, quantum etc are all terms I need to learn about. I'm not a physicist so some of the tech manuals start to make me cross-eyed when I try to read them.
I'd love to get my hands on one of those Kandy Kush Klones!! In my next life I just want to come back as your apprentice! If I trim the buds you grow can I at least keep the scissor hash?

Lol you want to be the sorcerer's apprentice, do you? :fire:

First assignment; gotta learn your terminology!

COB -chip on board, cuz each chip has a bunch of diodes in it.

LED- Light emitting diode, the basic light engine all the rest of this stuff is based on.

Cree- a COB LED manufacturer, like Bridgelux

PCB- printed circuit board

Quantum- name given to the PCB @robincnn and @Stephenj37826 designed for us to grow with.

HID- high intensity discharge lamp, such as HPS, MH, Mercury Vapor and others.

CDM/CMH/LEC- all different names for a type of HID lamp that uses a ceramic pit. These require low frequency ballasts.

LFSW- Low frequency square wave, a special type of ballast that drives CDM/CMH lamps more efficiently than other designs.

That should do for a start! :bigjoint:

PAR- Photosynthetically Active Radiation:spectral range (wave band) of solar radiation from 400 to 700 nanometers that photosynthetic organisms are able to use in the process of photosynthesis. This spectral region corresponds more or less with the range of light visible to the human eye. Photons at shorter wavelengths tend to be so energetic that they can be damaging to cells and tissues, but are mostly filtered out by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. Photons at longer wavelengths do not carry enough energy to allow photosynthesis to take place.

Lux- SI (metric system) unit of illuminance and luminous emittance, measuring luminous flux per unit area.[1] It is equal to one lumen per square meter. In photometry, this is used as a measure of the intensity, as perceived by the human eye, of light that hits or passes through a surface

Day 25

Day 25 of Flower or Veg or ??? Confused.

Wild wild freaking pictures especially 1 and 2. Looks almost sci fi like if they were growing plants on the 2001 Space Odyessy movie shuttle ship. The bare wood must be painted white to maintain the effect.

Too clean and shiny for Ridley Scott's Alien. He wanted his spaceship in that to be dark and grungy. What is was supposed to be was like a haunted house.

What are those aluminum cases with plugs? They look really cool. The whole thing is way f***ing cool.

I am getting a script idea. Space ship goes into space and they have a deck where crew member finds a big closet to secretly grow some weed. Some alien spores or powdery mildew gets on his plants. The stoner crew member freaks out and decides to foolishly spray Eagle 20 on his bud to save his grow. Smokes his shit and Eagle 20/PM turns him into a zombie and he starts killing other crew members.

Sort of an anti drug zombie alien movie with a cool ass set.

I want some of what you're smoking!

HAL sends his regards.

Other than the odd zombie plotline, what I'm doing is exactly what you're suggesting; this is how people will live in space, because you can only eat moon rocks and intergalactic zombies for so long.

The aluminum blocks are the 225W COB LED modules I designed. They look like that because they are water cooled.
