Lighting GROWNORTHERN The Manual.

Cheers bud ill have a look a little later :thumbs: iv seen that tnc cal mag,they do some nice myco as well mate.is that cal mag ok to run with organics? :group:
 
No I don't think so I got it just in case. On may last grow I used Epsom salts and garden lime and didn't have any probs, unlike my photo that had a calcium defense late into flower. It was only about £10 so it's for just incase. I cannot find an organic calMag, I know General Organics do one but you can get it over her. BioBizz or Canna etc should really make an organic one
 
Epsom salt and molasses is an organic source of cal/mag mate. :smokebuds:
 
Floranova bloom Contains cal/mag and perfect n-p-k ratios for canna in the flowering and bud stage.

Strong stuff,super concentrated and you don't need a lot.I swear by it and don't supplement it with anything else apart from great white in the bloom and bud stage.

You can pick it up online in the uk via hydro shops now.

Is it organic bro?

Edit, just found it in the net, looks like good stuff.
 
Thanks for the input Red, I was hoping that by upgrading from the 60x60 (with 2 plants) to the 90x90, I could squeeze in a third..this gives me hope :) This is probably just me being a worrier, but the 160cm height should be sufficient in combination with the 10L pots right? I don't want to have to move the plants if they start to outgrow the tent..mainly because I have nowhere to move them to :p

U can def go with 4 x 6l, I'm with 3 x 7l right now and will add one more later in a DRT90 (90x90x160)

EDIT: I'm not an autos tho

In the ms0006 there are epistar leds, which is a great led manufacturer, but i cant find anywhere the datasheet of the Epistar 660nm 3w chip. The best 660nm led is the Osram 660nm http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/311/H_W5AM_Pb_free-19333.pdf , i know, couse i read the datasheet. Do you know anything about the Epistar 660nm? All of the led drived at 700mA, but its good couse they use pulse techonogy, where they turn the led on and off like 10.000times in a seconds. For example if u drive the Osram 660nm led constantly u can do it at 400mA max, but if u use pulse technology u can go up to 1A. So this is a big plus to Grownorthern!
Also They told me that their white led can produce 110lm/w. The 3W White led produce 220lm at 700mA.
So 220lm/110lm/W=2W 2W/0.7A= <3V. At this moment the olny led what can do this is a Cree led, couse Phillips(Luxeon, Rebel), Osram have never went under 3,3-3.4.
So they use Cree LED, or The Bridgelux know sg what we(customers) dont.

For the Record: I love this Led Panel, and i think this is one of the best LED panel on the market, but I need some answers for this question, to know what I buy, but at this moment they doesnt really want to answer me... It means this is a secret what makes me say: OOOOO C'mon! How could I buy a LED panel where The 660nm LED chip is a secret! This is the most important part of the LED panel! Or That chip... not the best... Honestly, I dont think so. The epistar is a good manufacturer, and pobably this is a new product. I saw some Epistar 660nm 3chip on the internet, but the shop can write anything about it, couse there is no law what can punish them if they lie. The only way to get correct information is the datasheet. So where is that datasheet?

As far as I know all the chips are Epistar and there not pulsed.... This is a USERS GUIDE not a technical manual we just use the lights we don't make them. You should look at the results not the tech sheet lol.

"GrowNorthern- Unique
Our new Pulse Frequency research & software allows us to maintain the same constant rate of photosynthesis produced by our by constant current drivers but with the benefits of limiting by duty cycle rather than by current. The LED's are Pulsed at a very high resolution and then the pulse width is adjusted to find a sweet spot between the rate of carbon fluxing, power consumption & the LEDs performance. Lifespan & lumen maintenance of each chip is lengthened as they reach an equilibrium temperature at 10-15 °C lower than the classic series and they are not being constantly over driven."

I just thought becouse of this, but just to be clear, the pulse technology is a much more expensive way to drive the led, and ofc it's better. I think these details are important, maybe not for you but it is for me and This is a manual... i thought it would be the correct place:)

Hey bud,if its data on the epistar 660nm your wanting then id sugget epistar are the best people to contact for the info you want .

Yeah, I sent a mail to them, I havent got any info yet.
