i'm running just the lec for veg right now in an aircooled hood with co2. i've got my fan set at 86F and it hasnt even got close to that setpoint yet.
Keep us posted, have yet to see anyone who has tried the Blue MH and NOT liked it
i guess it's on the HOrti website but the 400 blue is used in universities and plant research facilities. supposed to be the closest representation of natural sunlight.Keep us posted, have yet to see anyone who has tried the Blue MH and NOT liked it
Yup that's why I'm running it in my 600W setup and if I didn't have to move and had my old larger grow area the (2) 1K's would be running the same bulbs lol.
pre- subbed! lol. that should be a good one. do you know what the K value of the QBs are? in the 3 to 4K range?
Not yet I will be doing a dedicated journal for this run and will put a link in my sig. Very excited for it based oin what I saw in @captainmorgan grow journal with it.
That should be real nice. The 400 Blue has a better spectrum than the 600 and it is a real metal halide rather than an hps conversion so it has measurable uv. That bulb tints my gradient glasses. The 600 and 315 3100k does not. The glasses are uv sensitive.
Right. I have both 600 air cooled and the LEC I will bet the blue 400 is pretty close in heat output to the LEC. I find them manageable. But both may need to be air cooled in a tent or box.
kinda sucks it needs to be enclosed. glass will block some/most of that uv. i've got a T5 UVB for that.
I think a lot of people are going crazy over QBs and from what i seen they aren't that great. I'd use them for growing lettuce and leafy greens because they would work great in my tiered lettuce system but for penetration they gonna suck, they don't grow big plants. Check out all the grow logs on the LED section, havent seen a single big plant from them, captn has the biggest and it's still really small and he didnt say final weights and whatnot. I like to grow big plants because the taller the more weight, i don't think these can grow a plant taller than 3 feet from the soil without going crazy on the build (huge budget) To me they look like they would be a great investment for a lettuce or spinach grower that has a vertical height limit. If i were to build myself a weed growing light with LED's i'd go with COB's , sacrifice a little bit of efficiency for intensity. For myself i don't like to have to keep lights within inches of plants.
Yup. I rotate and move plants as they are ready for water/nutes/training. They all get equal share.
You don't have to run them enclosed.
the 400 MH Blue by Horti does. i'm doing a combo of LEC and the 400 MH for the moment.
or understands that sogs can beat tree growing in gpsf
Been waiting like a kid for this to be released since announced ...........yeah horti blues aren't open fixture rated.........yet to see a glass grenade in my life , never risk it though
Quantum boards have the highest sphere tested ppf/w, umol/j ever and the usual suspect bashes it
anyone buy the new horti ceramic hps bulbs yet??????
edit.........nevermind, not released
Soooooo you're getting one huh?????? .................lol, new light tech is always exciting and it usually pays you backBeen waiting like a kid for this to be released since announced ...........
unlike my other crap I buy
Will have a QB soon now that I'm running again and have been waiting for the ceramic HPS since last year lol. I am a big fan of the Eye Hortilux company their CS and the things they're doing with lighting.Soooooo you're getting one huh?????? .................lol, new light tech is always exciting and it usually pays you back
The 600 is open rated too but I don't think it has the same amount of uv because my uv sensitive tinting glasses tiny with the 400 even through tempered glass and not the 600 or cmh 3100k.yeah horti blues aren't open fixture rated.........yet to see a glass grenade in my life , never risk it though
