Yes, on the 5W emitters. No on the 15W., so far.
I am playin' with some lenses but they contain too much heat for the big guys. Looking for some tiny parabolic reflectors to use instead of lenses for the next flowering.
Might end up making my own out of 4mil Mylar cones.

That's probably why you get such great results. I'm trying to figure out how much power I really need.

Aren't we all?

If using a DR100 40"x40"x72" to grow in and a DWC setup. What do you think of three five gallon buckets, one plant per bucket in that size space?

IMO ya can't beat 5g. DWC one plant per bucket. (You've been reading:thumbsup

The main light for veg would be the 90W UFO type, and the main light for flowering would be a 120W model.

I'm going to try the 90W version with just the blue like I mentioned before as it seems to be working for others. If it doesn't work I'll have the 120W light I could use.

I just hope the 120W with the party bulbs for the far red will be enough for that size area.

Your opinion?
'bout perfect for the space if ya wan't big plants.
Though you might as well chop the bottom branches off.

Even with lensing they won't yield much.

Old Mac pointed out the advantage of "lollipopping" multiple clones over harvesting top buds from trees. So, this next run will be a clone SOG.
Did a scrog on da last one. Too much work.
If 8 to 10 short girls outproduce 3 tall ones, I'm thinking about layering my tiny 8' high room into 2. 4' high rooms and going all coco. But, that's just da lazy in me. I don't really need MORE meds. But I can't stop,:weedpoke:. It is my nature.

I'm stoked about your 90W. "dual blue" vegger!
It looks promising.

Unka Sam "stimulated" me with $250, den told me I had ta spend it right away or pay taxes on it.:wtf:
