hey guys do you think i can do what this guy did to the 320 epistar?
DirtyDanny's 600 Watt LED Grow - Page 7
and run it over with a vent on closed system with cold air coming from the outside and going out? won't that make a smell problem?

I actually wanted to get something stronger that will fit my tents.. but apparently its an overkill for grow tents .. that's my conculsion on the 320.. just runs too hot .. even on 30% 40% still creates heat that is coming down stright on the plants.
I heard its because of the 5w leds they are warmer comparing to 3w which run cooler. but still havn't tested it myself.

I have my pro epi 160 in my 2x4 closet . I have a 440 cfm inline fan exhausting the heat into the attic . I use a speed controller and I have the fan at about 30% and my temps are 73f

I think I also have 440 cfm .. not sure if i have a lower cfm in the smaller tent... probably not..
do you think not having speed controller for the fan makes big difference?
my heat problem only occurs during lights on and its over 30 or 40 %.
im really clueless.. still havn't raised lights but today maybe i'll have time to do it and i'll report back.

I have my panel 39in off off my 3 smaller plants.. how high up is yours. ? It's just hard to understand how you could be having such heat issues especially running your panel at 30 -50% output

If you run your 320 at 50% then you are basically running my panel . Your panel is just like 2 of mine .

I have read that ambient temp with LED in grow room, should be kept around 85. This has to do with leaf surface temp being lower than ambient air temps.

I have also read the same thing, I seem to get my best growth around 82-83 f, I hope this helps.

Yes but I like to keep it around 81 82. 85 seems just a smidge to high

Everyone has different needs and you can get a at with the lights 10 inches away but you will cut down on your coverage. I keep mine at 12-18 inches with great results

I've ready enjoy the mars pro so far but can't speak about the duolux sorry. I believe that the pro should compete very well with a panel of the same wattage with less up front cost

What's up everyone ??!?! .
I have the mars pro epi 160 and was wondering if anyone knows
How umols it puts out and at what distances from the canopy ???
The more research I do into led panels the more questions I have ,I guess I should've asked this before making a purchase
I like my pro series so far but am curious about umols???
