I'm more interested in the lights and the end results. Plants look great but I want a smoke report (or an analysis if you get those for your crop!)Quote:

smoke report~my joints burn smooth grey ash..no running...medication lasts longer...and because of increased resin production it burns longer:jointsmile:Quote:

i am growing my best meds ever....i am the analyzer!
That's what I'm talking about - I got the same results on oily herbs (increased oils/terpene content, deep flavor) from my LEDs.Quote:

Oh, and since I can't see due to the blur - what's the emission angle on those LEDs? I can't tell if they've got a focusing cup reflector around each one or if it's just a solid SMD mounted to star then heatsink.
120 angle and they do have a focusing cup on each one of them...good eye!Quote:

total wattage is 900....i could prolly get same results with 4 lights but the power strip had 6 outlets....so i felt obligated to use them all! :smokin:
I'd like to share some info with you to help you optimize your light.Quote:

600nm I would remove entirely. My testing data showed that the best response for red was from 630-670nm, lower isn't worth wasting the energy on, plus you get closer to yellow emissions which act as growth inhibitors.
The rest is perfect. I'm surprised I could see focusing cups, guess I've been making this stuff for so long that even blurry pics give me enough detail!
I figured you'd need the 3W diodes simply because of the fixed distance. Keep your eye open for my grow located http://boards.cannabis.com/hydroponi...icro-grow.html I'm using 1W diodes in a much smaller environment, and I hope to push a fat yield from such a small area.
Keep growin!
I need to restate one of the things I said - if you're doing AQUARIUM lighting - some light between 550-610 is helpful. This is where "full spectrum" lighting would likely excel, as marine plants have some chlorophyll sub-structures that work with those wavelengths of light. My fault for misstating something like that.Quote:

they only have 5 600nm diodes per light
26 660nm diodes
6 630nm
5 600nm
5 3500k
6 460nm
per light:thumbsup:
