Lighting 90cri vs 80cri

[stonehead]

Got my 72v bar parts come no now so hopefully will be fine and no dimming going on here they take it all lol.

I thought about mixing ks and cris but didn't know how I'd do it and didn't want to have to rotate plants to keep them even. Would you be better off mixing them on the frame to mix up the spectrum?

If your not dimming and have the leads open, u should get 105% give or take the rating of the driver.. This should give u the full pull on those chips.. Some people will mix 3000 and 5000k on the same panel.. I personally think that this will give an uneven spectrum in different corners of your tent.. Now having said that i am putting 2x 2700/90cri chips in the center of my 8 cob panels.. So i will have 6x3500k/80cri and 2x2700k/90cri per panel.. Tho these 2 spectrums are pretty close, obviously the 2700/90's will have more red.. I would have gotten the 3500/90 but couldn't find any at a decent price... I have found very little stretch under the 80's.. Hoping a little 90 will help with the size of the girls..

Here is the comparison this week..

I use A drivers so no leads,I checked that it was turned up in case they set em low at the factory seemed right up.

And damn, can't wait to do a start to finish under these 90cri 3590s looks like they are gonna blow the place up.
I'm replaceing the 600w hps with 300w of cobs but may make it 450 in the end

Amazing difference, will be interesting to see if the 80 plant ever catches up, given some additional time. Personally Id like to see them both chopped at the same time, give us a better idea of the weight difference when time is the same, but I dont blame him for wanting to finish up the slow plant a bit I guess.

So here's something pretty amusing.
We all know that this is from a thread on RIU.
I am googling for info on CRI and it takes me to a discussion on RIU and what do I find but screenshots of this grow, but taken from AFN!!! How frickin funny is that. Finally someone on that thread stated it was originally from RIU...Crazy shit.

Haha...

Yup that's where i got it from.. Some sites are very sticky about mentioning other sites in there posts.. As i find this community a better place to share my runs and findings, i didnt want to piss anyone off.. There is 2 comparison threads on there i believe . Some very intelligent people their, but also some big egos to deal with.
Cheers
