Bringing in cold air into your lung room will generally raise your RH; cold air holds less water, so for same absolute amount of water in the air but lower temps then RH goes up.

OP: what you are describing in totality is a situation where you should try to grow outdoors under the sun. Never seen anyone pull this off or even try. The amount of equipment and power to do a 2x2 seems excessive; id either grow in the sun or just buy some bud to smoke. If you have a basement...

Some Sipers says top watering first, no water in bottom res, in order to build root growth in the entire pot so that it can absorb nutrients well. Once healthy roots in most of the pot fill the bottom res. Dont have a horse in this race so do what you like and makes sense to you :)

No, i was saying just put it in as is, i dont wanna advice anyone to saw things in half even though it looks like you could reasonably do it if technical minded. But just dim it down a bit. Looks like if it fit. Since all rows light up the same id just write off those diodes and use it.

Just use it at half power, should work fine.

No ksf from teknik. Just looking for the best numbers we can get. Previously there were regular blux 2700k 90cri available thru led-tech which also scored slightly better than f90 in photon/w.

Yes, in lum/w but not in photons per watt according to testing cited.

Im not sure but id imagine the numbers being similar over brands For efficiency numbers you can use TEKNIKs here onsite (i think they should come up in bridgelux eb gen3 in the search option) and the ones on led-techs web for f90. Iirc correct standard ebs 90cri 2700k came out as 2.66 and a...

OP: this could just aswell be a dodgy dimmer, i suggest trying the light with dimmer disconnected before blaming a faulty driver. If no joy then by all means warranty service, but if this is just a dimmer then dont send your light away for service, just replace the dimmer.

From the cree blurb about these: i understood that theyre targeting stable red % content in order to make it easier to calculate how much more red to add thru monos. On that spikey 90cri spectrum: ive only ever seen it tested once at led-tech (bridgelux F90) and it looks like the diodes are...

I was off course referring to adding this to a led fixture, indeed no point in adding it to hid.

Lol, Its been years since i started hearing about your HID loving cat, when do we get to see him?

If you want to add infrareds to your grow then why not use incandescent/halogen? They have full coverage of the infrared while IR leds only cover a narrow band. It also is very good at hitting those 660-700nm which leds have problems to target due to inefficient diodes in that range.

Checked the spectrum on that one and i cant really see it going down to 280nm, major drop off under 400nm. But its got continuous coverage of anything in between while leds + supplement usually has some gaps.
