Climate control

[Diesel840]

I like the idea of bar lights and would probably go with AC when I retire my qb's.

I'm loving my bar style light. So much better than my previous quantum board.

Let's take the 14" MAP, for example. To get the 4 inner squares down to 1000 PPFD, you need to dim the light by over 500 PPFD, at that height, or raise the light. In either case, the corners will suffer, which are important to SCROG growers who try to maximize every inch of their footprint, for optimal yield.

Not just SCROG. People pheno hunting will find that those plants in the corner will yield less, assuming they don't rotate the position of planters. It cpuld make people unfairly judge those phenos. Not to mention, everyone wants max yield and quality of crop. Those on the outskirts might also drink less, while plants in the center may deal with more stress.

Thank you FF, Optic LEDs seem to have al that I want: quality LED's (and enough) and good drivers, well build and adjustable spectrum.
I like the Slim320S!
Thanks for pointing them out to me.

That's awesome, Swifty. Glad to hear that. There are 2 versions of the 320S. V1 only has 2 drivers / dimmers; whereas the V2 has 3, which is better:

@Freedom_Fighter I wasn't even aware of this discussion when I added to the LED thread. @musashi Why not move the converstaion there? When I read climate control I think of temp and humidity, i.e automation for fans.

Hey g_f,

Welcome to the MNS Forum, and my apologies for the search confusion. You are right that such conversation is sort of out of place here, in this thread, but it was a way to keep bumping it into the stream of consciousness; until someone can bring it back on topic with some experience with the Terraform 7.

Besides, it sort of evolved organically from Swifty's observation about the benefit of the blue wavelength for flower finishing. That led to the idea of light spectrum control, and the Optic LED focus. If Musashi deems it worth some digital surgery, and the time & effort to transplant it into the other thread, I'm certainly down with that. I'll green-light that, no problem!

Cheers! - FF
