It's been a bit but with the modern LEDs I think actually running them a bit harder increases the efficiency. It's a very small number so your pretty right about it being the same amount of heat. The heat is hardly just the light heating things up though. . Heat is a byproduct of inefficiency in electronics. There is no friction or moving parts etc so the heat you feel is the resistance converting into heat. Why vapers use resistance coil to heat the wire rapidly. The more efficient something is the more output it has with less heat generated. Locating your drivers outside the tent helps immensely. Use quality speaker wire to run into the tent. Wago that to solid wire and put the solid into your molex. Placing a fan on them or your exhaust will expand the drivers life too. Full blown mine are cool to the touch.Watts is watts and the same wattage will actually produce the same amount of heat no matter what. While the lights WILL run more efficiently, and will last longer, the heat generated in the tent will always be the same unless you remotely locate your ballast outside of the tent. I used to believe the same as you until someone sent me a link to an explanation of the science behind it. To make it short, the reason for this is the light generated from those watts carries the heat and that light bounces around and the heat from it is eventually completely absorbed by the tissue in the plants and the other materials in the tent. This is why the only way to truly reduce heat is to remotely locate your ballast so the heat being produced from that is not being absorbed by the tent/growing area.
YupQuick ?.....is your spots in a basement?
Its freeing. I do the same myself. I'd go full nude but I dont want e coli in my lettuce.Same , sometimes in a pinch I will just strip down before going into grow. Undies only
Would you say its the STARDWAG CH cut or the ADUB cut thats bring out the Stink?Dubstep looking good . Never had a plant stink like this during veg. Noticed when I was taking cuts . Looking forward to flipView attachment 67483
It needs some CalMag for sure.Bridezilla and GG4 first time indoor grow in organic soil . I think I’m seeing a couple things living on the edge. Yellow edging of leaves on new growth and it looks like that gloss look of excess nitrogen. Maybe I’m reading into things and getting picky. Any advice welcome View attachment 67484View attachment 67485
I gave it a feed of CalMag last night so hopefully it goes to work in good time . Thanks for the inputIt needs some CalMag for sure.
You’ll be fine then, you caught it in time. I use 5ml per gallon.I gave it a feed of CalMag last night so hopefully it goes to work in good time . Thanks for the input
Force the issue and go 10/14 or even 9/15. Nature does itTopanga Wedding at 90 days from flip. Never seen anything so slow to finish.

Correct, the more efficient lights are more efficient because you are able to get more light from less watts. What I was explaining is that running a 300w light at 300W will produce the overall same amount of heat as running a 450W light at 300W. Placing a fan on them doesn’t cause them to produce less heat, though. You are just dissipating that heat from the driver more quickly, which is making it cool to the touch, but the heat is still being generated.It's been a bit but with the modern LEDs I think actually running them a bit harder increases the efficiency.

This....Had to do that with an auto. Throw her into 12/12 for almost 2 weeks to break a funky spell she was in.Force the issue and go 10/14 or even 9/15. Nature does it
I harvested one of my Topanga Weddings on day 71 from flip, and the other on day 79, and they came out amazing. After drying the buds were hard as rock and the smell is amazing. I tried it for the first time last night and it’s a great smoke, too!Topanga Wedding at 90 days from flip. Never seen anything so slow to finish.

Doooooo iiiiiiiiit! Love seeing your buds bro . Always looking good.Be forwarned....over the next 2 to 6 months i am going to light this shit up.
That horrible Heisen gave me some fire...lots of fire. And I already had FIRE. Blue Dream and Glue crosses i have only dreamed of.
So first of all..Thanks man !!!!
Its just going to get crazy up in here....Lets grow this shit.
Looking really good. What are you growing those in?A full 4 x 4 with ADUB and BBC s1 clones @ 6 weeks in flower.

I pot up from 1 gallon to 2 gallon Gro-pro premium pots a week before flower. 16 total plants with 4 colas each. The ADUB and BBC work very well together. Plenty of breathing room for light to get below. Unlike these Wedding cake beasts that block everything:Looking really good. What are you growing those in?
