I've been waiting for the technology to improve or the prices to decrease...but, it doesn't seem the cost is going to come down much in the near future. So, I decided to take the plunge into the LED scene, and test out the SpydrRx Plus from Fluence. Very costly initially, but if all goes right, I think it'll be worth it with the energy savings, and possibly a better quality end product.
I considered other lights, some with really nice features. I checked out the Kind LED, while at the GorillaGrowTents warehouse a few weeks back. It seems like a nice all-in-one, with programmable timer functions to control intensity and spectrums of light for the different stages of growth. It has a couple fans also within the unit for the heat. I don't particularly like that part of the design for heat dissipation, as I like less moving parts. But overall, it was a good light with nice functions.
I decided to go with Fluence because they seem to have gone the extra mile when it comes to LEDs. They do a lot of testing with a scientific approach, to gather evidence, and improve on their technology. I like the fact that they also consider cannabis in these testing procedures. I've seen some phenomenal grows with their lights.
I'll be testing out the SpydrRx Plus in a tent grow, attempting to mimic the optimal conditions they suggest to maximize the potential of the plants with their light. I know there'll be quite a learning curve as I'm more used to growing in larger, open environments.
I'll post, in this thread, updates in the process.
Thanks.
