Hey Vic, how does your kit stand up to the Base standard 400W(HPS) standard and which of your models is the best suited to match/beat it? 

autos. run the led 16/8 to supplement the 6+ hrs of direct sun to keep em growing fast.
3 gal smart pots, try to train below 24", footprint of 2 plants 48"x18" approx
Sorry but I gotta get going... If you're still going later I'll jump back in the mix. Thank you @AMARE-TECH-Vic for your time and doing this interviewhave a little parting gift

Far-red light is the last thing a plant "sees" at sunset, so when there are high far-red levels followed by a period of darkness the plant "knows" that it's nighttime.
When a plant starts getting higher levels of red light combined with blue from the morning sun, it "knows" that the day has started again. If a plant is exposed to red or blue light during the dark period, it will "wake it up" because it thinks day is happening.
These processes helps the plant set itself on an internal clock. Keeping track of the length of nights is the main way a cannabis plant knows when to start flowering (making buds). When nights get long, it initiates the flowering response because it "thinks" winter is coming! So growers are able to force the plant to start flowering at any time just by changing the plant's light schedules!
Note: Even if the plant doesn't get far-red light before dark, it will eventually "realize" it's night time, but it starts the clock 1-2 hours later because it didn't get that far-red "sunset" signal. Because of this, there's some evidence that if you provide a plant with a burst of far-red light right before it goes to sleep in the flowering stage, you could cut 1-2 hours off your night period and it wouldn't interrupt the flowering cycle. That being said, it's always a good idea to give your flowering cannabis plant at least 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness every night to make sure budding goes smoothly! When time schedules get weird, you sometimes end up getting hermies or have your plant revert back to the vegetative stage, which most growers don't want!
theres my guy!!!I'm looking to switch to Leds completely to lower KWH consumption and heat. I have to do a lot of shit to get my temps to 75 or else its 100 degrees lol. I have a 15X15 Grow Space with 90 Plants in 3 Gallon Pots. I have 9 Lights to cover the plants but those lights are 600 watt HPS that use 5.5 Amps each
I grow autoflowers and would need a light that has a mixed spectrum or maybe even a setting for veg/flower. I'm most likely going to buy lights in the next week or two, I'm shopping around right now to see who has the best Leds and best price.
I've been up for hours, mornings are when i take care of the plants and read the news, lately its all trump and clinton bs. Idk why people don't get it. The new boss is the same as the old boss haha, 1/3rd of congress can veto any bill president puts up so we should be electing Congressman that do what we want!theres my guy!!!
was wondering if you slept in
