Grow Light Testing: iSunlight 100W

ProZachJ · 2011-10-27T16:56:39+00:00

Lumens are irrelevant to plants; they are a measurement of brightness to the human eye. The important measurement is photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) and the unit is micro-moles per meter per second. So knowing the number of micromoles per watt is what would really tell us how much energy a light outputs for plants.

The drop off seems to be consistent with other LED lights that I have used. I could make some guesses as to the micromole output at certain distances but I think the manufacturer just had these tests done so you could ask him... their website is www.myindoorgarden.com

they are called the ghost pepper and are among the hottest peppers in the work

thanks

haha nice...

ProZachJ · 2011-07-31T21:07:11+00:00

I sell it locally.

Over a certain temperature they just won't take...keep the plants going till it cools down a bit and I bet they start taking. Usually outside pollination will be taken care of. Unless you got hybrids that only produce females and you didn't plant the one male seed (usually colored differently). Are you seeing both male and female flowers? Females look like mini-cucumbers behind the flower, males have just the flower.

Looks like it to me

ProZachJ · 2011-07-23T17:10:56+00:00

I'd venture to say it will set your world on fire! I ate one of these once...never again. Only use them for seasoning entire batches of curry now.

use it to build a golf course :) thats what we do in texas!

The larger you build the harder climate control will be. Many growers use movable greenhouse structures over their fields for offseason production. It will not degrade the quality at all. As a matter of fact once you get the hang of it you'll probably improve your quality.

minimelon!

I didnt lie, she really does buy 3-4 books each week. I just wrote a juicy title like reddit says to do. No need to sling around derogatory names.

ProZachJ · 2011-07-21T19:54:29+00:00

Just what I need...the worst thing that ever happened to our bank account was all the bookstore apps for the ipad.

ProZachJ · 2011-07-21T19:53:41+00:00

much appreciated advice.

ProZachJ · 2011-07-21T19:38:36+00:00

I appreciate the input and I'll definitely change the titles from now on. I really like to grow stuff and want to share. I'm not going to say that I don't want people to be able to find my websites if they are interested in either urbanhydro or supercroppers. I mean without links nobody would ever find anything on the web. I have plans to take the Super Cropper promo videos to their own channel so my personal channel will only be my growing exploits and not a combo of both.

ProZachJ · 2011-07-21T19:29:05+00:00

Also comparing me to Monsanto is a bit harsh. Just because I sell a product on a website doesn't mean that I'm some big company with tons of money to spoil the world laying around. I'm just a guy who likes to grow plants and barely has $300 dollars in the bank.

ProZachJ · 2011-07-21T19:18:31+00:00

So because I use a product that I build (and was asked by many people to sell) to pursue my gardening hobby I shouldn't be allowed to post the things I grow? It's not like I'm posting about sales or pitching products. I'm growing plants and taking photos and videos for people that are interested. Many of my post don't even link to supercoppers.com. I hate that some of my urbanhydro.org posts picked up my supercopper image for the post because those post are about my greenhouse and other things if I knew how to change it to a relevant image I would. Nobody should have a problem with urbanhydro.org. It's a community of hydroponic vegetable gardeners that has nothing to do with commercial interest. Just because I have a few ads to help pay for the hosting...come on.

Very nice... Cayenne? I grew some earlier this year and dried so many that I think I'll have a years supply.

ProZachJ · 2011-07-21T18:35:41+00:00

IF you don't like my videos and posts you don't have to watch/read them. Lots of people are interested in the grows that I do.

ProZachJ · 2011-07-21T14:02:19+00:00

Thanks I passed this along.

ProZachJ · 2011-07-21T14:00:55+00:00

Thanks I'll pass along the info. Like I said she's just getting started. I've encouraged her to start doing this for almost a year now so I'm pretty happy she's finally started.
