Your posts are so filled with misunderstanding and just plain wrong, that it would be way too much work to do... You should do the work yourself if you are interested in knowing what is true.Thats why your replies are full with words and documents that prove im wrong lol
You are free to continue being clueless. I'd suggest you don't, but it's your choice. If you do wish educate yourself, you could start by figuring out why 100k lux hps is quite a bit less light than 100k lux of white led. That's easy.I took the time and put forward YOUR numbers and maths, not mine, its the LED panels numbers.
Everyone can add or subtract whatever he wants, some people will use common sense some just like to think they know it all no matter how skewed their theory is, and thats ok bro dont take it too personal
These are their numbers, YOU chose to add, i chose to subtract, to each his own.
Furthermore, you would think that by now the LED manufactures (as to support their claims) would have put lower and lower wattage diodes on their panels and add more qty of them cuz they scaled the tech down (like CPUs which only gets smaller not bigger) cuz hey, PAR and spectrum is everything right ? who cares about intensity NOPE lol they just keep making them bigger and bigger cuz they know without intensity their diodes are pointless unless set up in array of panels which also dosent help because all your doing is making 300 suns with 250 Lm each oppose to a 150K sun in the same height, that is LUDACRIS to even compare, but hey im not a scientist.
I NEVER CLAIMED TO KNOW ANYTHING !
Yeah, cobs are smaller -> narrower light beam -> must be run higher up. If you make the light emitting surface smaller you have to move it further from the plants. Otherwise you just light a part of the canopy. If you make the emitting surface larger you have to move it closer (unless you have a way to avoid spilling the light).I personally can't put any of my leds closer than 12-16" from the canopy without getting some form of light stress, burn or bleaching. I usually as a rule stay 18" away from the canopy but I also use Cobs. This is my first year running a QB and they are the Samsung LM301H diodes. I've noticed I can move it a tad closer than my Cobs, but not by much.
There's a whole thread of Malay growers on here.Haha i never claimed i have the biggest, most resinous weeds lol
You really think i dont want to put pics of my grow so i can show u and make you proud of me ? i see people here putting pics and getting feedback and precious info that i cant get because of that, its not i like this situation, i love this site but never register, just read every little thing from 2008+ as im 35 by now, i went through a lot of reading and grow so much that i felt like not signing in is a waste of good ideas and words, either way i love people here and all the knowledge and ideas i get from here
Be sure i want to post my pics as bad as i want to smoke whats in them haha just i dont feel it justify the risk im exposing myself into
Today all we have is smart phones and taking pics is risky with GPS locations time stamps and all that shit, where are the days of the digital cam haha i miss those days badly, but i will put pics eventually when i will get over my paranoia shit
