From DEs to LEDs

The Fert i use are Jacks 321 at Part 1 400, Part 2 100(the Epson salt) Part 3 350(CalNit). I like some Mammoth P aswell.. My city water is at 150ppm, so once nutes are added i am around 1000 sometimes 1100.. Its not a big deal as long as i stay between 800 to 1200..

As far as the yield goes i was stoked on it.. For this strain it was a good pull.. I dont like just looking at numbers and thinking thats what i should get too if i use the same lighting as others..

So many other factors are involved.. Strain type, growing space, environment, and peeps want to feel cool i guess and bump the numbers..

I am sure you can hit those numbers with an upper mid strain when dialed..


Merry Christmas Y'all
hey what does this formula come out to in grams ? would you run this same veg - bloom ? thanx

Lumens is not the same as photon count (uMols or PPF). Lumens value is heavily biased toward green light. A light can have a higher lumen value but lower photon count if it has a lot of green in it. Plants use photons not lumens. You simply cannot really compare the lumen values of different CCT spectrums.
Green light helps alot yo. That's a fact

Is that a gold heat sink? How's it performing g? Any different from the slate 2s?
Its the new new from HLG.. Its the gold series.. Alittle prices but an awesome thermal interface.. lol.. No it just the normal slate 2.. But from the continuous use and running them hot its changing colors..

BTW i love how you have no walkways and no wasted space. i can just imagine how you'd get to the back plants for maintenance lol.

Lookin good man. Ive been quietly watching this thread as I'm about to be setting up a similar room. 10x10 also using quantum boards (qb288s). I like how you rigged up the lights, some ingenuity right there haha Ive been having a hard time determining exactly how I'm gonna go about building the framing for the lighting so its cool to see some other peoples ideas.

Right on.. I definitely like the DIY portion to designing lights for your specific space. Good luck with the project.
