Yes, but you need to read this post to understand how it was done.

Haha! At least we are getting back on track now. I don't think we are going to solve the world's problems in this thread but at least we can talk about light. :D

I kind of wanted to stay out of this argument which is why I made a simple statement. I don't know how we got to Glypho and Monsanto but I would agree that many of the problems are caused by population pressures. But I don't want to start another argument about eugenics or somesuch, lol! I think...

Yes, we have done testing comparing typical Samsung strips and boards to "true" full PAR spectrum + lights and we've found that added far red speeds up the flowering process and creates bigger leaves whilst UVA definitely increases cannabinoids. We've also found that too much blue light can hurt...

Hey Frank, don't listen to Prawn – they look great! Are you noticing any difference between the original High Lights and the newer 420s?

It's all good. A little bit of debate is healthy even if it is off-topic :D I think I agree with you that exercise, relaxation and healthy eating can solve a lot of health issues in modern societies but a lot of people are just looking for a quick and easy fix so that they can keep doing what...

I'm not familiar with all the electrical mains voltages and frequencies (Hz) in NA, so I can't really comment. I didn't know you had higher voltages for high-bay lighting. But I've also looked at both types of Inventronics driver and I honestly can't see any difference except for the safety...

You are in Europe, yes? Unlike Mean Well which makes drivers for all AC inputs that can be used almost anywhere in the world, I believe Inventronics divides their's into low-voltage and high-voltage models to improve the efficiency of their low-voltage models. But I think there are some mistakes...

We really like the Mean Well HLG-320 drivers as they not only punch above their weight in terms of output, we have so far seen no failures (touch wood!). The HLG-240 drivers are also very good. Nearly all the failures we've seen have been HLG-480 drivers. In terms of range, the XLGs seem to be...

Outdoor plants can still get mold. Instead of trying to rely on UV you would be better off trying to reduce humidity and increasing airflow around your plants to prevent mold starting in the first place.

I think what @Prawn Connery and @PSUAGRO. said. UV light thickens the outer surfaces of the leaf that can improve its defences. Also UVC and deep UVB can kill pests, fungal spores and bacteria but that sort of radiation is harmful to plants. And we've seen mold in grows under UVB reptile bulbs...

I believe we have a few grows lined up with the new lights soon. Perhaps I can direct you to our Insta page in the mean time? https://www.instagram.com/growlightsaustralia/

Yes, the old "blue for veg myth" was born from old-skool growers who pioneered indoor growing and sadly the myth just won't go away! Because many of the early strains contained a lot of sativa genetics they would stretch indoors. Growers discovered that by vegging under Metal Halide lights...

We don't think blue/UV boosts vegetative growth at all. It has the opposite effect and actually slows growth compared to having a heavy red spectrum with lots of far red. And that happens through all stages of growth. Red is still the most efficient photosynthetic spectrum, especially combined...

Some interesting THC results comparing the original High Light 420 boards with the Gen2s here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/latest-uva-vs-uvb-cannabinoid-test-results.1052083/page-2#post-16762776

The original High Light 420 spectrum is on the top, the Gen2 spectrum is below. Note the difference in UVA around 405nm.

We have some new results for our High Light 420 Gen2 panels. These panels have twice as much UVA in them as the original High Light 420 boards used in the first test of this thread. The results are very interesting. The old panels had a slight higher level of THCA compared to the double-UV...

It depends on how hard you want to drive them. Any 48V driver will suit and those F-Series strips are usually driven around 1.12A at 46V for just over 50W each. So for 6x strips you have a couple of choices. A Mean Well HLG-240H-48A will drive those strips at around 45W each. The 240 drivers...

I'm not familiar with these boards but looking at the LED layout it appears the UpLux has 18x 3030 LEDs in series for around 50-52V (max) whilst the other board has 16x in series for around 46-48V (max). That's based on roughly 3V per 3030 and UV diode, and around 2V per 660nm diode. So yes, @PJ...
