Hi all,
Been looking at the LEDs closer recently. It looks like they are firmly keeping up with traditional lights and beating them now. That wasn't the case when they first came out and they have improved a lot. I really am liking the switch to full spectrum. The plants like it as well
The biggest advantage I see of LEDs is the power usage and heat production. They run cool compared to regular HPS/MH/CMH. It is for these main reasons I would like to make the switch.
I would like to test the SP3000 for breeding purposes and its ability to grow pure sativas like Malawi, Thai, Peruvian, Indians and more. I think the full spectrum would do them well. I am interested in how the LEDs may affect the expressions of such plants, their feeding and growth etc. Also the comparison of seed production under traditional bulbs vs LEDs.
If I win this light I will use it primarily in open pollination breeding projects. I have landrace seed stock I would like to reproduce and give back to the community. If chosen I would make a poll for the thread, if people are into it, and they could vote on which reproduction they would like to see first. I will document and photo well the projects and usage of the light. It would be used in a 4x4 tent with organic living soil, pot sizes of 3gals and up would be used to see full phenotype expressions.
Thanks for the opportunity Mars Hydro!
