Did you see the high levels in that vpd chart they recommend? It starts high and eorks down but 75%is crazy. 10% deviation from temp ? It looks like. My guy runs agrow shop and says they r killing it using this vpd pattern?
Thats the vpd we run, multiple people having success running salts and an auto dosing/water system the vpd can be maxed because they get everything they need, but itās actually really important if you run leds

And your production with led compared to double ended is same better or cheaper?
I. Hate change lol but sounds like led is the future. Working up the nerve still ughh
The future is auto watering with crop steering. Leds maximize that. They are beneficial but not with an optimal environment, if your environment is wrong including the nutrients regimen, leds wonāt fix it.
But if you got it all dialed the Fohse A3i are where itās at.
Or the Aries for lower ceilings.
Cheaper to run and they yield far better, the canopy stays uniform with minimal training.
Being able to adjust the spectrum is critical, and the power adjustment is very beneficial, its all together a symphony when itās dialed.

I am medical so i can only have 15 plants. So i grow big.
13ft ceiling closed room co2.
I auto feed drain to waste. I just prefer dirt lol
Just concerned penetration for large 6ft ish plants.
I was looking at the gavita 1930e
I definately like feedback of. Experience of led types used with success
I usuallly average close to 2lb per plant with 12 double enders

With the Fohse A3i you wonāt regret it!
1500watts 3 spectrums, and a bigger footprint than the competitionā¦
I went to tour their facility and meet everyone thatās a part of it before bizcon and learned about the innovation behind some of the things they did, as far as led diodes, the drivers that can change spectrums, and the polycarbonate lenses that prevent spot burn and evenly distribute the light.
How far above canopy? Set and forget or moving with canopy growth?
You get a android based controller that letās you adjust the %, with the a3i they say you rarely hit 100%
You hang them same hight as your hpsā¦
If you get burn you can dial back the wattage, then next round maybe raise them up.
Take a par meter, and set them at the height that allows you to turn them to your desired % and get the # you want at the highth you expect your stretch to end usually like 1100-1400
Then admire that you can move the meter at the same highth across the room corner to corner without seeing more than about 50
You want to ramp up your light as you start, start in spring spectrum for a week, increasing 3-5% per day until you hit the max before burn, or 100%.
Switch to summer for a month and a week then finish in fall.
You want to ramp your lights as fast as you can, then you want to reduce them starting around day 45ā¦
And ur opion better than 1930e. Soumds like way more wattage and better spectum. WhT is dimension of the unit?

I appreciate the new info with diffent light unit.
Change is. Struggle bit im sure end up better and cheaper overall

Depends on how many you buy, they are about 2400$ individually.
So the light swivels to acheive superior peneatration?

Yes considering the major price differnce 24hun wow
So not quit 1.5ea? Almost to yeild of double ender. How many plants per light to get thT?
I currently have 12 double end lighting 15plants is mo
I have 5 1930ās in this small 9x14 flower room
So 3 to a light.
Iāll have dry numbers soon on those
Rdwc. If you need big plants and are limited on numbers itās the best way to do it
So ur doin better than double end with tjat number. I get 1.5 to 2lb plant on average
