because lumens are for humans, plants like PAR, and certain ranges are more absorbable than others, so not allPAR is even the same
lumen is a green-centic measurement and is not very useful when comapring different spectrums
Thanks!!!...but I need proof! A grow log would be great...i know lm/w is not the best way to compare light but it help a lot! What I am looking for is gpw (and quality of course but quality is not 100% related to lights) the best light for me is the one who grow the highest gpw!
So which led are growing the highest gpw these days! The highest I ever saw from a reliable source(I can make a grow log and lie about the final weight it is hard to verify but there is reliable people here) was almost 2gpw from cxb3590 3500k CD @700mA!
Same for qb's people want it because of the 220lm/w not par!!! If I was looking for par I would go with chilled boards!
I know lm/w are not everything but the more you have the more weed you harvest(at least in my case!)
Have a lifted one
