LED FLOWERING & VEGATATIVE GROWTH light hights?

[Ironmike61]

I was told by Sunlight Sheds, where I bought my LED's, to keep my 90 watt LED's 2" from the plant. Someone else told me 3-5".

well that's about right for those lights man. They use single watt diodes and are pushed through a 120 degree viewing angle, meaning the light intensity is spread way out. Most of the single watt diode 90 watters being sold today use a 60 degree angle which makes for a smaller, but far more effective footprint. I hate to sound like a tool for the company I chose to use in my garden but check it ...

Also your only running 3 bands on those sunlight sheds. If you're going for max efficacy, having played around with some older dual and tri band single watt diodes I can tell you from first hand experience, you need more bands than that - and UV and IR def add some firepower to the mix.

a company that is using 5watt diodes http://www.grownorthern.com/ just remember the cut off point of efficiency. Just sayin'

how well do ya think a 90w tri band UFO and two daytime CFL's will work in a small tent with prop nutrients? Thanks
