perfect led grow light?

[khyberkitsune]

thanks my friend!:jointsmile:

glad you like my grows :hippy:

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!)

And holy mother what kind of LEDs are those? Those look like minimum 2-3W a piece

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

3 watt LED's ~150w per bar :smokin:

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.

Got any UVB additive lighting in there or just going with what looks like a dual spectrum? What's your total wattage in that setup?

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!

got 5 bands of light going~660nm, 630nm, 600nm, 460nm, 3500k warm white

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.

I'll start off by saying it appears to me as if the 3500K warm white is there mainly for illumination/visual purposes, yes? That's fine - most of those are a bright blue LED with phosphor, no biggie, they still emit quite a bit of well-usable light.

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.

the warm white 3500k eleminates any need for supplemental floro lighting in bloom as suggested by the mfr that makes the procyon 100

they only have 5 600nm diodes per light

26 660nm diodes
6 630nm
5 600nm
5 3500k
6 460nm

per light:thumbsup:
