You can also dim with distance from the plant to the light, if this is an option.

@@VAisForGrowers I saw a review by Shane on his Migro channel on the Growealth G series.(recommended) I have 2 with the IR, AND the UV Independent on/off switches. Want more, really are reasonably priced, but sales happen also.

I’ve got three years on spiderfarmer sf-4000. They work great. And they still produce close to as much as they did new. They have run continuous these last three years. As for the hvac switch I was already running hid lights so the change was great on my hvac from lower cooling temps from leds. Plus I was able to eliminate the ducting for hids

@@DeBaccoUniversity when I upgraded I knew how many amps each light I was replacing used. Instead of buying a 1000 watt equivalent led I bought enough lights to run the same amps as hid lights. So if 10 amps for hid I run same amount led. I get the same density as with hid without all the heat. I don’t need a chiller anymore for my dwc setup. The a/c does a good job in regulating temp. So a lot less heat and I get better colors in the plants than with hid. Same amount of power is being used for lights as before but now I use about a third in electric cooling the tent.

Good way to start, but to maximize production adjustments need to be made.

LED lights do run cooler, but I still cool them the same way I did my HPS lights. Most growers use the common cool dry air coming in at the bottom of the tent and warm moist air out at the top. I push cool dry air in at the top past my lights and the warm moist air out on the other side. It goes in to an external tent that cools, takes the excess moisture out, and adds fresh air from the intake and then pushes that air back in to the tent with the plants. The CO2 from the fresh air falls down over the canopy as it goes past the lights. I figured this out by accident, I was trying to get the climate just right. I had budgeted to replace my lights every year and have not had to replace a single light and all of them have had a range of 10-15% reduction in par ratings. Everyone of my growmies say their lights are dead or putting out half par at the one year mark. This is just my experience, I could be super lucky but I believe it is because my lights run cooler.

This can offer a good starting point, but if a grower wants to push something extra from the plant this is where different spectrums can play a role.

how about ePAR? is it beneficial to these crops? Bruce done an interesting take on it but I would like to see more on it for yields

The spectrum @ 1min. shows a 300 TO 800 range of influence. My lights have controls to turn on/off below 400 and/or above 700, but the spectrum you have there is way broader - is that much spectrum available so far with the same flexibility?

the spectrum shown displays 300nm-800nm but the range of photosynthetically active radiation was defined as 400nm-700nm. Of course , that range has been updated to a new standard of ePAR 400nm-750nm thanks to the amazing Dr Bruce Bugbee. Without going into the reasons why, there is no need to have a 300-800 range fixture.

Short version: Is it important to calibrate a pH meter at 25c or not? Long version: I apologize for posting a question unrelated to the subject of this video. I have become a bit desperate as I can find no info on the subject of how to calibrate a pH meter in which they talk about temperature during calibration, and I thought a recent video, from a channel I trust, might be the way to get an answer. I must be misunderstanding something, because I do know that pH depends on temperature and my calibration fluids have an actual chart of the changes in pH at different tempuratures, so, to me, this seems like you must calibrate at the recommended temp of 25c, and yet, in dozens of "how to calibrate" videos, this is never mentioned. Can someone point me to a video that explains this? I guess if the answer is "yes, you must calibrate at 25c" it would make sense with my current understanding, but if the answer is "no, you can calibrate at any temperature", I would be confused as to how this is possible.

@DeBaccoUniversity

Жыл бұрын

Room temperature or normal applied water temperature is what you should be calibrating at. While it is possible for temperature to change the pH of water it is typically with-in the tolerances of most people/equipment so this is why it is not mentioned.
