Anybody know
something more about the red leds like 660 nm for trichrome production
I don't know why I'm averse to such things like that. It's actually very good knowledge to have when evaluating lights, but for some reason I have avoided educating myself in those areas.
My interests lie more with the actual growing of the plants, the leaves, roots, stems, and especially the soil. These Advanced lights grew some pretty nice plants, in my opinion. I have no friggin' idea what the spectrums of these lights are, wattage, diodes or anything else!
I'm beginning to understand how these plants grow and was only interested to know if these lights could grow plants in such a way that their full potential could be expressed as much as possible under the circumstances: Climate controlled, C02 enhanced room, 7 gallon containers, etc.
The Advanced DS XTE 400 ( I hope I have that right) kicked some serious ass! You should smell this produce. You should see it. I honestly don't care what wavelength of red the lights used, because quite simply they pass the "grow test" regardless of the theory. They work in practice.
Again, I'm not saying the specs aren't super important! Afterall, that's why the lights worked so well. I just don't pay attention to the specs so much as the results.
Like shopping for a new surf board. You know pretty much what kind of board you're looking for, maybe you even have one shaped. But you need to ride it! The numbers mean something, but the performance of the board is the only thing that matters.
I'm super high on Colombian finger hash folks. I'm sure I just rambled on a whole bunch. I'm writing this about ten minutes later and I forgot what I was saying.
NIght all,
Doc
