1180w in that small area? No wonder the tops are bleached. Had two 315w CMHs in a 3x4 and that was overkill, no bleaching though.

Bleaching is not caused by the footprint of the grow space, it’s cause by temp and high intensity at the plant surface. My temps were in mid-70 during lights on, for whole flowering.

As i said, the gap between plant and light was too close.

If you would have said tent was too short, or plant too tall, then you would have been correct.

As for overkill, i guess that’s in the eye of the beholder.

Still barely over 0.5g/W

So what. Watts don’t grow plants, ppfd does. And i could give a fuck about electrical efficiency.

412g is 412g

I’m not here to tell anyone kinds are the best light. But if you can’t consistenly grow about a lb under a 750 or 1000, it’s not the light!

ok tunable spectrum makes sense. intensity without the heat really doesnt because both that light and an hps are 1.3 umol/J, so theres no advantage there

Look i’m not here to argue with you or buy your product.

But, If you want to sell someone on your product(s), i’d suggest you not offend potential customers by participating in skewering your competitors.

Like i said, kind lights do the job. There are better and worse lights.

im not skewering anything, as youve shown they grow great product. just wanted to relay the fundamental concept of efficiency to you

Splain it however...

This thread except for a couple individual posts and ssmmy’s crap has been a troll of kind. The fact that you are participating in such a thread is what i’m talking about.

I don’t want or need you to explain anything to me.

As for efficiency, which was not a buying point for me, go back and read my first post, i’ve got the current best.

I had a kind 750 but sold it after 3 grows for $600, it was pretty cool with the programming but took a while to get it figured out. Had it on a light mover in my room. Now the ceiling is covered with quantums. I like the white light I'm using now but my friend likes the kind. If something else looks better I may switch to that in the future, but efficiency is something to think about when you are paying $.35 per kwh. The other factor is I like to build things, I still have 8x cmx 22 that I'm working on fixtures for, prob is I have nowhere to put them, my room is already 40w per sq ft.

Cheap shot. CobKits never tries to sell people in the threads, or push his product. He's a fully participating member of this forum; his opinion on Kind is as legitimate and appropriate as anyone else's. If you don't agree with him, that's fine, but there's no need to get hostile.

I didn’t get hostile. And i don’t appreciate you mischaracterizing what happened.

This whole thread is a cheap shot.

I have no connection whatsoever to kind, cept i own 3, and as i explained, they did the job, and there are better and worse lights.

Cobkits presumed i needed help, and i politely said i didn’t. I also suggested that someone trying to sell something on a competitor trashing thread might want to consider the effect it might have on a prospect, and he re-rengaged on a topic that i had already said i was uninterested in.

But thank for letting me know where you stand.
