I,m sure you did, but science tells the story of lettuce being a heavy red light user. Some university studies have shown certain varietals grow best with a 95/5 ratio of red to blue. Some think bolting happens from heat but it's actually spectrum shift to blue as the main culprit.
Do you happen to have any links for said studies? I'd love to see any research on spectral development for lettuce.
Awesome! Thank you. I'll read up on it tomorrow. Might need to make a specialized light just for lettuce for the next round.
Ok, so we start with temps - as you can see ambient in the tent is 75The 2 issues basic I have with the light are the immediate losses incurred by the lenses and I want to better understand the thermodynamic characteristics.
I dont think the lenses help to blend the light as they are focusing it, just a fact. I think there are lenses that would provide for better blending and id like to see the secondary opitc with a focal length of infinity.
How far is the MH from lettuce.
Afreed on heat tolerant varieties, these are blackseeded simpson and buttercrunch, IIRC only mildly heat tolerant.
Your real world testing conditions are invaluble. If you can do anything with manual white balance, pics of what the distribution look like up close (like a sheet of paper 6 in infront of the light), and what heatsink temps are in relation to envirnmental temps, I would find the information worth evaluating.
It would be painfully obvious. There is only one position the lenses can be placed in where they are aligned with the LEDs. If the lens is misaligned it would be angled about 60 degrees offset from where it should be. The way the lights are engineered and assembled, you don’t need to worry about alignment.
Not sure I'm understanding - you can see the paper is acting as a divider between the two modules.
There are 2 "boards" right? Do you know which one the mono colors on the vertical piece of paper? Looks like a difraction/reflection or possibly an interference from the 2 lenses. I suspect the spots are coming from the board that is pictured.
I am tearing the light apart, not tearing it down, I want to make that distinction.
Didnt realize the paper was between the moduels. Thanks.
And thus far what are your conclusions?

Careful now...did Cammie approve of this? You are still on her good list I believe...Decided to throw in a cannabis clone just to get a feel for how they grow under these lights until the lettuce is ready to be spread out

time for him to be sued
Don't be cluttering up my grow with this BS.... there's plenty of other places to talk out your asses
Unlike some of you I don't give a fuck who thinks their going to turn on me or for what - get a sack and get off my thread!
Touche my man, I agree 100%. Not sure where the sack came into play here but I wish you the best of luck on your grow.Unlike some of you I don't give a fuck who thinks their going to turn on me or for what - get a sack and get off my thread!
The concerns I have pointed out are verrified, the culmination of their impact is to be shown by @OneHitDone
