LED Light - Veg & Bloom Settings

[Brettman]

@StareCase I have a cheap duct booster pulling air out of the top. Temps sit around 82.

... what is your exhaust setup? how is it flowing? ...

With the blurple set-up, it was really crowded up top and I had to put the carbon filter and fan outside the tent.



I know that this is not the most efficient setup but I had limited options. The filter and the blurple housing wouldn't play nice together.

But with the RSpec, I was able to bring it all back inside the tent and reverse that flow.

Thanks B. My temps were probably a little higher than that. I'm glad that I'm switching the lights for flower.

It’s in my basement that is quite cool to begin with.

I see said the blind man, ya gotta work with what you got. Glad to hear you got it all going proper again with RSpec, folks seem to dig that light. Probably major upgrade over that blurple? Happy growin!

light needs two settings, on and off

Huh?

Your light doesn’t even pull 250 watts. Leave everything on. The whole way. Keep it high. At least 22” to start.

Mine pulls 670-680 in a 5x5 you think thats enough

26w/sqf isn’t enough. What kind of light ?

The only thing to say is I was planning to do a 4x4 table hydro. However I’m more interested in staying with soil. The light seems bright. Sorry for spamming that but it has the specs I ordered off alibaba.

 

[Brettman]

Yeah that’s a really nice light! Im
no expert though but I still wouldn’t want to be flowering with 25 watts per foot. I think most of the guys on here say more like 35 with decent lights like that.

Yeah I wonder if I can put them closer in?

I'm going with 40 w/sq. ft.

I haven't put that rig into production yet cause I am still in the early stages of vegging the girls and preparing for the SCROG.

I recall that the efficacy of the blurples was around .7 umole/j. The efficacy of the RSpec is around 2.83 umole/j. 4 times as efficient, great PPFD, low heat, better light spectrum ... really chompin' at the bit to get them into flower.

I figure another 5 weeks to go.
