This thread is not to argue about who is a better manufacturer it is SHEERLY about FACT and FACT ONLY.
This thread is for those of us in the AMC section that are growin with LED's whatever the manufacturer that are trying to increase our yield and performance. Now you may come to realize that the led you bought is not as good as s1 elses. Thats ok were not here to claim one is better than the other. We're here to discuss facts and if that ends up actually shedding some light on what LED is actually the top LED on the market so be it. That will just be an added bonus to this thread. Lets not make it the focus of the thread though.
Lets keep the focus of this thread to methods on growing with LED's for improving quality and quantity.
Remember were here to learn and share what we have learned not talk shit because you only spent 200 bucks on a LED panel. If its producing its producing and thats what im interested in and im sure most people using them.
Personally i am using a kessil and a blackstar right now. So far i've come to find the kessil does not have the trichome production of the blackstar, however 3 kessils will blow the holy living hell out of the blackstar for yeild and they use 20 less watts total. I believe the trichome issue is due to UV. I've also learned from using these lights that more lights of a lower wattage over a larger area actually increases your saturation point for light. Meaning if you got a 300w panel and covered a 3x3 area with it versus me getting 3 slightly smaller footprint lights and convering a 3x3 area i would have actually have more wattage crammed into a smaller space. Lets take the kessils for instance.
I could choose to have 1 h350 magenta covering a 3x3 area or i could take 3 kessils and cover the 3x3 area. Slightly more pricey in the kessils case to do it this way, however not all companys are the same. With blackstar for instance i could run 2 240 panels and have better results than s1 using one of their 500 or 600w panels. Reason y is same amount of light spread more effectively over a larger area.
The formula for LED's is more lights, less wattage, more area covered, so more quantity pulled. This is what i've learned so far from doing 4 runs with these.
Alright wizard heres your thread now what you got to say man on the subject?
PS. something i need to add and its very important there will be NO comparing of LED's to ANY other light tech in this thread if i can help it, if i do it myself please feel free to call me on it its important we keep this thread that way so no HPSvLED or LEDvT5 or Plasma or whatever the fuck lighting you want to argue about does not come into play here. Its about GROWING with LED's
Keep it to LED's and lets have fun guys.
