I would suggest the following grows for testing certain efficiencies:Quote:

oh yeah, people who are looking for suppliers or whatever, here is a link to cra ton of suppliers, some will sell singular units.
induction light - induction light products manufacturers on alibaba.com
I would be interested in purchasing a induction light to do a grow journal.
Hello all, this is my first post.
I have been farming for many years, with differnt light sorces.
I have tried LED's,hps, mh.
I am going to be testing soon the bloom induction light vs HPS.
We here in the states need a great way to grow, but keep the power down.
This is the latest promising option.
I always get excited with new tech, and like to try things for myself.
We can post, read, listen to what people say or not.
When it all comes down to it, it's always a chance.
If your not willing to take risks, than you loose half the fun in life.
Maybe it's just me, the joy of the exprientment.
Just the kind of guy that needs to see things with his own eyes.
We all know the joys each day of looking after our babies(plants)
Enjoy the journey people, take chances, embrace risks and live alittle.
Then you'll know, you, not word of mouth.
Led's are great for growth stage, hands down.
This is all I use for now, but always get excited about new things.
Stay green friends, and may we all walk the world with out fear one day.
"As for testing LED's they do not measure like other sources in other words you can't use a quantum light meter to measure LED's for some reason. "
Actually, you do use a quantum light meter. The only real scientific measurement of light that EVER matters (lumens is for humans, not for plants) is the amount of photons that hit a given surface area per defined unit of time. We express this as umols per square meter per second (umol/m^2/s-1) and a quantum meter measures EXACTLY this.
There is no other way to quantify actual performance potential.
Get a real quantum meter made by Apogee or Li-Cor, since they have models specifically designed for testing photosynthetic photon flux density. Most other quantum meters are very poor-quality and cheaply designed for hobbyist aquarium builders, not gardeners. I've run through a bunch of them so I could get effective specifications on my panels listed.
did you ever finish your grow? what were the final results as in terms of yeild. Also what are the overall deminsions of the whole unit including weight. What is the price for the 200w and 300w units. thanks for the info....
interesting lighting by stats but untill someone with alot of rep on this forum gives me a grow log ending in forearm sized colas i will remain a skeptic. but i so want to use a different light source. 600w on 18/6 and 1000w on 12/12 is a lot of energy to use because i have to hide from my neighbors.

You want to get this thing off the ground. I'm sure the lawyers can agree to sweet basil, thyme, parsley, cilantro, tomatoes, strawberries or peppers... we'd all love this to be a success.
I agree. First thing that came to my mind when I read the thread and got to the lawyer part.Quote:
