    It should link to grams in the spliff if the right spectrum is used and all other factos are on check right?
    Samsung press release May 2018. 3.15 to be exact. LM301b isnt new

    It's always a good idea to use high efficiency lighting to reduce the number of watts

    I had checked the press release but I guess I've missed it.

    I'm curious to see how the new diode will be implemented on the strips when they come out.

    LH351B Red
    light efficacy: 3.13μmol/J
    Luminous Efficacy:172 lm/W

    LM301B
    light efficacy: 2.92 μmol/J
    Luminous Efficacy: 223 lm/W

    Which one would you chose?

    Why would we be more concerned at the G/w than the potency?

    I dont know enough about the subject but for a noob like me, who is only ever going to grow 1 or 2 plants, i started off using hps but found it a big drain on my electric bill so switched to LED and noticed a big difference. As long as ive got a bit to vape every couple of months, im happy....

    GPW is one of the most important factors for me since I'm looking for efficiency.
    theres no way of knowing,growing isnt just about lights,a million other factors are also present in any grow.

    plus we all use equipment that blends in well with our enviroments,which are all different.

    i used led to finish off my summer grow purely as the cmh was still running hot due to the high outside/air-in temps.

    now its cooled a bit outside im back to the cmh for the foreseeable future as it simply works for me.

    thing for me is i started growing with just led,the early 1w lamps and i learned growing all the while using these leds,it worked ok but restricted me to 1 plant one panel,hence i went to hps,far too much heat for me to cope with,so finally the cmh which i found to be a sort of midway between the two running cost wise/harvest result ,and now ive learned its strengths and weaknesses im getting some veery nice tasty erb.

    and thats what its all about for me .

    and why i havent been posting much,this "la diva" auto is gorgeous,the taste and buzz is sublime,almost perfect i reckon.
