knna said:About the Edison leds used on those units, they are of the right wavelenghts, but their efficiency is low. The 660nm units have just a nominal 17% energy efficiency, wich on operating conditions maybe a 40% less, so just 10% of energy efficiency on operating conditions (energy emited as PAR light (optical watts)/input energy (watts)). Compared with 35% for large HPSs, no any spectrum advantage may compensate for less than half photons avalaible. Meaning that until they improve their led's efficiency, they cant save watts respect to cheaper HPSs.
I don't care who grew it or by what method, there isn't a strain of bud out there that can smoke well or taste good after a 24 hour dry process with no curing.
while we applaud your efforts to grow decent bud under l.e.d.'s, your results were well below average at best. with that being said, we do encourage you to continue your efforts in l.e.d. growing and hopefully you can get it dialed in for better results next time. while your thread was a good learning tool for this community, your short man syndrome attitude can use some major improvement.
