Calling out to Weezard for LED advice

[Weezard]

Happy 'zard!
Got some pre-chop pictures that no one will believe.

Set me up a parallel grow.
Just a month or so ago;
[attachment=o223630]
One, under my home brewed light.
Da led lit lady is da one on da RIGHT!

One grew in da HI. sun.
Dat would be da udder one!
(onna lef')
Buds be smaller on da sunlit one.
WTF? Grown in SUN!?

WTF?! Ah dunno!
Same media. Both Coco.
Led girl has a smaller pot.
Should be smaller, but she's not!

Same water n nutes, ('cept for rain).
An' maybe little sunburn pain.
LED girls got no UVb.
No get wind an' insect-free.

Hmmm, Outdoor, skinny. Indoor, fat.
What can we deduce from dat?
Indoor girls have got it nice.
Homeless gals mus' pay a price?

Da t'ing dat has me chortlin'?
I t'ink I got da lights dialed in.:thumbsup:

Befo' SS gets all abusive.

I wouldn't go that far.
Leds no gonna grow trees.
On short shrubbery though...
They are sure to please.:jointsmile:

Gonna be a few weeks before da bio assay.
Need to see how exposure to the elephants
is going to affect potency.:stoned:

It's not just about size, or taste.


Lookin' good so far though!

Aloha,
Wee Zard

Maybe it's the UVb rays outdoors that are hurting them?:thumbsup:

Among udder t'ings.:thumbsup:

Now it's a bake-off tween the pampered and da free.
See what kine potency with, and without, UVb.
Da waiting jus' 'bout killin' me.

Wee.

Though I'd drop by again -- and this time I've brought a some market research. Had a little down time at home and at work lately, so I've compiled a spreadsheet covering a few of the more popular LED manufacturers' specs and prices.

I'm in the market for a substantially large LED purchase, so I've been trying to use this data to help me choose one model over the next. Still, there are some major flaws, not the least of which is my total dependence upon the manufacturer's specs, rather than the standardized testing of an unbiased, third party. My spreadsheet is also limited in its scope with regards to both manufacturers and vendors. The price/output analysis is also geared towards value for lumens/milliwatts, rather than efficiency or any of the many other important factors.

Still, I've found it useful to line all these products up next to each other. Let me know if this data is useful to anybody else on the forum. If so, feel free to suggest new manufacturers and vendors you might like added to the spreadsheet, or new forms of analysis that might be interesting. All of this was created in Excel and exported as a PDF for use on this forum.

Thanks again for all the work that's been put into this thread and others.

Had a thought!
(Betta write him down 'fore he float away.)

Another difference tween the cloistered an' da free?
I completely forgot about the extra CO2 in my bloomery!

I pipe the waste CO2 from mead fermentation, into the bloomery.

Even so.
Low cost indoor lighting with leds has arrived!
If I can slap it together on the lanai, you should be able to purchase it today at a reasonable price.
I used of-the-shelf parts and very little skill.
Parts, etc. ran about $400.


Add some free CO2 and outgrow natural sunlight?
Looks like it, and I'm about to do it again.:jointsmile:
Film, soon.

Aloha, Y'all

Nice rhyme, but the answer is nothing; outdoor it takes at least twice as long.
But not in this case, because it looks like the one on the left has too little phosphor and tbh the one on the right doesn't look very happy either.

Of course leds have a great future, but this is not good enough.
Please don't shoot the messenger.:rambohead:

I can imagine the results would be great if you add intracanopylight and more blue (or UV ) would keep them smaller and bushier.
