im not too sure but if you look at the base of the babies it appears that the beam itself is only just spredding out enough to cover the entire plant. its my opinion that the reason he has them so high is inorder to have his lights cast a beam wide enough to cover it all? and did u see the end result? the size of the buds was very small as was the total amount.

kids ive been watching this whole LED thing for a really long time and for whatever reason NO ONE is posting any math formulas (in relation to abount of useable light required - per ft squared) ) / nano meters (to determine which of hundreds of types of LEDS to use - even within the red and blue wavelengths / lens types (to determine the spred pattern so that lights may be hung at the proper height) what we need to do is CONTACT some of these LED vendors and invite them to either post their addys here and researching specs in thier literiture or post INFORMATION..... maybe even make it known to these vendors that those who comply with our requests will be the PRIMARY suppiliers to the DOZENS of comsumers that are willing to invest HUGE amounts updating our rooms from this very site???

this is somthing that has to be done because i dont know about everyone but i do know that electricity is killing me costing me an extra $250 - $300 a month not to mention how much is being wasted just to COOL a room because of the intense heat generated by HIDs. all i know is that if any of these manufactures were to put out info id read it and if some were conflicting then id read it all and average out the #s...this has gone long enough what we need are some hard facts
