Hey @skoomd , maybe you can help the entire growing community out with that big brain of yours and participate in my other thread and see if you can solve the lettuce equation with some test grows of your own?

Heh, funny you mention that because I plan on setting up an indoor DWC pepper garden in a tent and do a small vertical (stacked) grow on a shelf with some microgreens both using some LED strips. I could dedicate a shelf or some space in a tent to some lettuce cultivars. I'll probably use 3500k for the peppers and 4000k for the vertical shelf.

I do still believe more blues and uvs can increase trichome production (read below) though (whether or not that always translates to THC is debatable), hence why growers get better quality with CMH and have finished their crops using MH bulbs for years.
There is a difference between UV and blue. CMH produces UV, leds do not.


I will put this up just because I found it interesting in regards to absorption peaks for the different photoreceptors. Not to disregard the mcree curve or anything, just thought it might be helpful.
..chart..
That chart isn't any different from McCree really.

What's an HLG 550 have to do w/ anything?
Any led I said. W/o exhaust or water cooked that is.
Pics are on my thread if you're interested.
It has everything to do with it :lol:

1. Did you miss the title of this thread?
2. Unless I misread stuff I thought you were making some claims with regards to HLG's?
3. Sure post the link to your thread here, if you do not mind, so I can take a look ;)

i asked for proof of the trolls lies, you know, the guys saying led yields in here are bullshit and it get ignored like everytime a troll ignores a question they cant answer...can you work out why?

goodbye you dumb little bastard x

logging off.
They are just trying to pull your chain:lol:

They know they haven't got a credible argument against HLG. Steve and Robin's products are well documented in RIU; by numerous people who have tested their products... and now these products are well-known as products that work, supported by guys you can trust, despite the naysayers trying to say otherwise lol, And hence why they cannot answer questions or post evidence to the contrary.

They are simply taking their frustration out on people who have "Bought" HLG products/Know that they work/and now support the company. they are stuck in their worldview, which is sadly based on opinions rather than facts and evidence.

My advice is, do not waste time getting caught up in arguments with such folk, because no matter how much evidence you present, once they have formed an opinion logic tends to fly out of the window:peace:

Dude thats epic!!!! Good luck!!!! How hot are you running if at all? Do the LED's run any hotter then you thought?
That rig is the cheapy build, all built out of 1/16" angle and u-channel every piece is pop riveted together including the strips. Total cost for the build was $236 for 260 some watts at the wall.
Next builds are all going to be on 1" heatsinks with a modular design so I can add some of these in between the strips.
