Better get saving your pennies then ;-)

Thank you for your understanding, that is the exact reason why I am being cagey about my choices of spectrums and ratios. When the plants go under the light the journal and all the details of the grow will be on here with plenty of pics. If you guys would like me to put the link to the grow...

First of all, I did not say that HPS is only 15% efficient if you read my words correctly, I said the 15% was BS ????? Secondly ,you say you have read the entire thread and if this is so you would realise that I have posted the link to the Oxford journal on here many times. I will not bite at...

From Cree's own information and news letter. Back in May 2011 " For its part, Cree broke the 200-lm/W barrier (Figure 3) for a white power LED with a CCT of 4579 K and then in May 2011, the company announced it had produced a device with a remarkable efficacy of 231 lm/W (at a drive current of...

Not available to the public yet, but if you take the time to do some reading you'll find that Cree has just hit 231lm/W. The theoretical limit for LED's was previously thought to be 200. Know your facts !

No the panel still had the same amount of red ,supposedly 630/660nm. I think I know why it happened but I won't be able to prove it until mine is built. Anyway thanks for your input and yes, I hope I nail it to. I know that replacing 600 watts with 260 - 270 is a tall order but not as tall as...

I'm not asking you to believe me but I have no reason to lie whatsoever, I just put this out there to get other peoples thoughts as to WHY this would happen !

I agree but I don't really want to name the other company's as I have no desire to bad mouth any others. I'd much rather place my faith in my own ?

Hey guys, I've got a question to ask ! About some results with LED Vs HPS. I'm just throwing this out there and I'd like your thoughts :-). I've been testing some other LED fixtures against each other but also against HPS , all identical nutes, Ph, temps blah blah blah. So a popular LED...

Hi there puffenuff, yep I think that is probably the best route, finalised the ratios today with some info on trials I was waiting for, it's all looking very promising and the prototype is getting built in 3 weeks time. The case and fans are the same look as Advanced but everything else is...

Hi there first of all thank you for the kind comments and no I have never had a previous led company :-) . In answer to your question, the FULL process is not as yet fully understood with regards to all of the processes going on in plants which is one of the reasons that make me laugh about all...

Little bit more plant info for you all out there. The rate of stomata respiration MUST match the rate of photosynthesis for maximum growth rates. If this does not happen which it so often does in indoor growing, the plant will be seriously under developed and will not give the maximum yields...

If the transformer was really loud then the coil plates were loose, if too loose then that would have been a big problem transforming the voltages and you may have been running the bulb at a greatly reduced current. But normally in a 4ft x 4ft area with 400watts hps you should pull at the very...

Many thanks, you seem like a good person. Like I said before, the fixture has to perform as I expect or I will simply not release it, I only want people to realise that I am not going to be like all the other companies out there, it has to be perfect as I hate style over content. ;-)

Hi PSUAGRO. Just a copy and paste from a small fraction of my research, it debunks all the led lights so called research and make you think, here it is While one can manipulate pigment concentration in vitro, living systems present special challenges with respect to optical transparency. Often...

Many many thanks for your positivity. The light will speak for itself in the first grow and then I will be able to move forward, rest assured though, if it does not, I will not put it on the market because I am an honest person and I would not do bad to another person because I wouldn't like it...

Thank you, most of the board is Cree and Bridgelux. To pass you towards my way of thinking outside of the box with LED. Look to evolution. Now look at Nasa findings (Lettuce) ? Now look at blues and reds and look at the way all the led companies have designed around those findings (alga = 2 cell...

Did you read any of the links I placed in this thread ? 6000-6500K ????? Current Reg ?????? Why the negativity ?? I only want to do something good! You sound as if you have been ripped off by an led company and are unhappy about this. I will do my part and invoke real competition to bring down...

Lots of speculations, but as I said earlier on in the thread, I do not wish to push too much on RIU. Let's just see what happens with the first grow which WILL happen soon. Then comes the proof. I can't say much more ?

Donkey dick cola's, haha lmao, yes for big flowering you need hps,,,,,,,,,,,,,,for the moment ?
