Hi everyone new here to the forums!

[Jono86]

Hey guys, new to the forums.

I use marijuana recreationally at a small/moderate rate. I live in BC, Canada.

I'm fairly curious on the science of growing the product and there's one thing that keeps coming up is the grow lights especially in the LED variety.

One thing is I'm thinking of designing new LED lights that covers the entire spectrum of light to promote vegetation and flowering. Already got a few prototypes going but here are a few light specs on some different models I have going on.

I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and plenty of friends who are Electrical engineers!

Economy Models - Small growth
#1
14 LED's per strip
70 Watts consumed
5000-7000 Lumen output
Air Cooled

#2
1 low cost panel = 7 strips
36000 - 40000 Lumen
480 Watts power consumed
Air Cooled

High End - Large Growth
#1
10 Led's per strip
49 W consumed
LCD Panel for custom output control
Water Cooled

#2
1 panel = 10 Strips
40,000-50,000 lumens output
490 Watts consumed
Full Spectrum+Red+Blue
Water Cooled

I'm not trying to sell anything here yet but just need to know I'm not wasting my time! Let me know with a reply or a PM!
