At least they didnt try to advertise it as a 300w light using 100 3w LED's... not how they work but thats how most of the garbage led's on ebay are advertized.

wont affect em, they'll be fine. worry if you're in your dark 12hrs of 12/12 and your lights come ON. that could affect flowering, delay it because the light will interrupt the production of flowering hormones that only occurs when the plant is getting a solid 12 of darkness.

lol oh yeah, didnt recognize ya from there... its late, rather early, rather late for me cuz its 7am and no sleep yet all night... up all night tending garden while lights on... now I sleep while they do :) seems so natural huh?

https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/358190-led-without-leds-my-first.html LOTS of good info there. All having to do with providing the ideal light spectrum, HPS/MH and most light sources are very poor at providing the light most used by chlorophyll.

$100 each on ebay, you could put two WavePoint bulbs (reefwave and redwave) for 10ea x2 fixtures =$40 for specialty bulbs, then you can have them come w 50/50 generic bloom and veg 3000k and 6500k bulbs, two blooms plus specialty aquarium bulbs and 2 fixtures, 432w for under $300... if you get...

If you have a window in the grow area that could be opened, you can crack it open 2-3 inches, board it over and install a very short section of intake ducting to that board (equiv to your exhaust fan dia. 8") maybe a 6" length then install a closeable/adjustable flange that you could use to...

PAR specific T5's for side lighting w a 400wHPS/cool tube, 2 four bulb t5's would be good for up to 8 plants (small crop now cuz of fucking males)

lol, thought ya'll were talking about me for a min. I made it thru 2 pages of BT's BS and started wondering how many pages of his ramblings will forever clutter the internet... didnt read thru to the end to see if the convo had become more civilized

what a waste of a few mb of storage space... I want my 5 minutes back

But youre a professional so how can you advise someone who said they wanted only 400w and under $300, that sounds pretty average joe grower to me. Check my sig, the red script... I'm out, I like to help people not argue.

Ok not first grow, getting going again now after a lengthy hiatus, so my log is documenting my start from scratch. I didnt even look for pics cuz your profile looked pretty barren. Your sig has no link either. So youre a professional and can run your ideal setup, remember the average grower is...

Try harder.

Have no idea what was meant by that. T5 users are incompetent? Because Im tired of battling the cons associated with an HID, Ive researched and found a method that re-creates the exact light necessary by plants throughout their developing life much better than even horticultural HPS/MH bulbs...

damn lol, not the best, but it definately works and could be the best option for small grows and an easy way to start hydro or to compare next to soil. I cant stand battling fungus gnats and other critters that are in soil... since starting soilless years ago, then recently starting up my new...

lol, uh not many people. for obvious reasons. does it happen occasionally, yes. If you're trying to maintain the perfect balance of being close enough to get the most photonic energy, but far enough not to burn, you've only got X amout of space to play with. If you have one plant that gets away...

If you go the PAR specific aquarium bulb, 10-25$ea for 48". WavePoint bulbs are pretty good for around 10ea, petmountain.com has em cheap w free shipping over $50. And of course t8's will work, and have for years, T12's also. Its just a matter of the most efficient setup possible. For the same...

I have leaves grow onto my tubes pretty often, and they dont even burn they just light bleach the leaf surface that was touching but the leaf will usually live on. They can put a white stripe across an entire fan leaf but the tips will stay green and still thrive. equivalent wattage of HID...

oh wow, I was gonna jump on this one if Hyroot wasnt around to catch it. ^^^^ obviously didnt check Hyroots grow logs or profile before posting...

Can I be the first to wish everyone here a happy new year. Thanks to everyone for the intelligent conversation, and next year let us all remember, its just a plant! let it help reduce our stress, not cause it! :) deuces!

Dear god hyroot, thank you for finding that post from kz, id bet that they won't release the spectrum because they just buy the right to label it a KZ, when its prob made by Hagen and KZ doesn't have the right to disclose Hagens proprietary data. I wish I could +rep you x1000 for that post...
