Re: gen3 2700g strips with hlg-320-42a

Thanks. and just to mention something you said.... why wouldn't you recommend using two different colour temps on the same fixture? Like a 2700k & 4000K for example? Would that not make a better overall spectrum?

Re: One 480w driver or two 240s?

Thanks as always Tek. Could you expand on that please. What do you mean by "suits my setup" about the XLG? And again, what do you mean by "depends on configuration" ? I a splitting the fixture if that's what you mean re' the second question, so it will essentially be two 240s hung together. Thanks a...

One 480w driver or two 240s?

Does either or these options have a distinct advantage over the other in terms of efficiency and power?

Would I be better buying a 480w driver vs 2 x 240s?

Thanks

Re: Effect of Spectrum on plant health; How to balance out 3000k EB Gen 3 for better overall growth and vigour

Thanks Tek. Appreciated. To be clear though, the plants are healthy now and I'd be generally happy with them to carry on this way unti they get flipped.. but... they're similar to when you veg under HPS light, which is understandable given the red dominant spectrum. I'm just wondering what I could a...

Effect of Spectrum on plant health; How to balance out 3000k EB Gen 3 for better overall growth and vigour

Hi people. I've been growing under LED now for a good few weeks and the first thing I noticed when I switched over from Halide/CMH was the sudden drop in health and general vigour. I attributed this to a couple of things and was helped by some people more experienced with LEDs than me. Long story sh...

Re: Plant health issues when grown under LED

Plant health issues when grown under LED

Long story short, I built some lights using Bridgelux Bxeb 3000k strips mounted onto 3mm alu channel. Moved the plants over and within days the leaves have drooped, stems have purpled, general heath of the plant has gone down. This is from lush green vigorous growth previously under Halide and CMH. ...
