The email was sent after I posted the first post, to find out what the manufacturer was recomending not the reseller.
So again if this is true why are you replacing 2 1000's with 6 apollo 10's?
And nitesft using 6 apollo 6 to replace 1 1000 watt?
Nite and I run different setups, so lets please not assume we have the same needs exactly. He runs larger plants. My design was to allow him to keep doing so and not have to worry about max penetration. He never implied to me that he wanted to cut power which is also doc'ed in this thread. I also was using total room size to base my recommendation, not plant count. If he wanted to, he could run 24 smaller plants and blow it up, but lets not give him any ideas.
In my case, and when I first jumped in to the LED's I was thinking along the lines of expansion, and I do not run 6 plants. I also, and mentioned in the thread flip flop my lights within a 12 hours period. I still have the use of 1 1000watt HPS in terms of total cost (to run them power wize), but think about the light over top of my plants when each set is on.
In essence what I have created is to what amounts to about 2000 watts over what I used to to 1000watts of HPS in intensity over the same about of SF Floor space.
I run my light back and forth, and because they are not on a full 12 hours, I have "Limited" the amount of sheer damage that can be done to the plant which My My and Nite have both shown you here that can be done in 12 hours of light. (Note here they were both warned by me to keep the lights up and cut the nutes by 1/3rd to start)
Because they are both online buddy's :cough: hardheads
I think for others who are unsure, please don't assume.
I'd love to explain things with a much more relaxed atmosphere, and if you guys can show a little more respect, I will Gladly show the same.
Way too much generalizing going on here.
Different needs, for different Weeds.
