The increase in yield is noticeable... The reduced canopy heat is likely a major contributor as the plants metabolic functions slow considerable above 79 F... Have a good one!

Glad I could help... Best of luck!

I think doing a watt by watt comparison that all agree with is extremely difficult... Your experiences match mine with COB so my COB light is currently on the shelf. My COB was very inexpensive. I switched to HPS when my LED light fried during my first flower cycle in 2012. Once you've seen...

When someone quotes me out of context to help shore up their argument, I will call them on it. If you quote the entire post, a different message will emerge. You are contradicting your own argument... Provide complete quotes when you reply or your attempts to distort context may be called...

Nice try... 2017

It's only relevant to provide background info on where the state of the art was last year. (I felt it was more accurate to include that detail for exactly the same reason you don't think it's relevant.) As many posters are under the impression LED has had a performance advantage over HPS for...

You prefer take 1?

Based on my informal tests of a Gen 1 COB vs HPS, it's still a no-brainer. I am estimating 20-40% higher electrical costs per gram THC. Yes, you read that right. The overall efficiency of my OTS 1st-gen COB was significantly lower than my HPS. (I was surprised how bad it compared.) The...

You personally can have the greatest results in the world but if it's not available to average growers, they will just get the sub-par results others are reporting. What makes matters worse is people being fed wrong information because of ideology rather than logic. I'm glad you agreed with my...

My bad... I was replying to another poster and forgot to click reply... I am in full agreement with you... I think the stuff is phenomenal but I thought it was expensive before it went up 30%! I'm disappointed there is no price break on a litre... I buy half-litres and I had hoped there...

I stopped replying because it's impossible to get through to some... The DIYers are definitely using different hardware than the production vendors... Many seem to take offense that LED is being compared so unfavorably to HPS because it doesn't match their experience. I don't have any doubt...

The way you replied it was very difficult to see what you were trying to say... Have a nice day!

I hear you! I think I'd take the quotes off problem for that one! All the best!

Just make sure you use an LED system that uses the same actual power. (real watts - I can't believe I had to type real.) Otherwise the LED folks might be very disappointed! BTW, a friend conducted a similar test comparing a 150 watt HPS against a 200 watt (actual watts - not the puffed up 400...

I'm not sure of your question but it sounds like you are asking how much the light mover can lower your light? When I installed my light mover, I wanted it higher so I looked at the opposite... There are multiple connection points between the light mover and the light providing multiple...

@skorpio777 you are not alone in being confused! Any time a manufacturer puts a word in front of "power" (like comparable power) it's marketing and only serves to muddy the water. (It's meant to muddy the water.) I have no problem reading through the BS and the hype and they still got me...

I usually try to get the clones in their growing medium as soon as they are ready... Sure, you can grow two foot long roots in your cloner but, it complicates moving the plant to the growing medium. An inch or two of strong roots give the clone an excellent start in the growing medium without...

Good to see someone else has the same "problem"... That's normally when I try to stake them but this crop kind of threw me for a loop... I did a lot of things different this time and may not have waited two weeks before putting some re-potted plants into flower... I'm hoping that's why I ran...

Thanks for your input! When I started using Mammoth P, the stems on all the strains I grow stiffened up nicely... Including the plant strain with the anomaly! By all indications the plants are healthy, but on the Pineapple Chunk, the junction between the main trunk and the branch seems overly...

Sorry I couldn't help you see what Mammoth P does to my flowers... Peace! ROTFLMFAO! Have a nice day!
