Are Undercanopy Lights Worth It?

[@StewartLeishman]

Gotta learn as ya go! Love it!

Everyone commenting UC is a game changer lol. UC has been done for decades. It's the lighting technology that is available these days that makes UC a game changer now. The concept was always solid. Glad to see the tech available to make it feasable. Will definitly be trying to break my record with some. Cut the check!

its not worth the money for any small growers its a money grab if per weight your getting 1-5 grams per 100 grams while using under canopy lighting if your running 500 plants yes you see the difference if your running 5 plants and get another 5-25 grams you let me know how that benfits home growers only helps out people selling it for profit

Just to add balance. I have a dedicated mono crop room. One bench with think grow icl 300, one with craft farmer v3 and one with faven r8. Personally I think the faven line is out performing but need to run them all for a good year or so to really compare. But ultimately, if you go with any of the big names in under canopy you’ll get a good return. Fan boys will always be fan boys, let the evidence speak - test for yourself. As an old mix horizontal and vertical HPs grower, these under canopy lights were a no brainer for me. Even have a row with some side lights also going in next run

With UC lighting the DLI would change or stay the same? As in should you try to shoot far above the 65 threshold and maybe double it like 130 DLI?

With under canopy, side lighting, etc the industry will transform into grams/sqft instead of pounds per light eventually. We are adding a ton of light, not just 1 overhead anymore! For our company we assess grams per watt as well. UC is a game changer for yield but if it isn't done right quality will diminish

IMHO I think you're just selling lights

[@MrTurbObrown]

My growshop is really nice and honest. If they're recommending it, i will think about that.

[@Koolstorybro765]

I don’t think you’ve seen the results good growers are getting from UC lighting…

It's when you wanna step your dialed in grow

What is meant by “Runoff volume is based on substrate EC ranges. 4-5 EC by flip” figured this might be a good place to ask😂

[@Jdb_]

If your ec is higher than what you want, you would give the plant more runoff to drain salts out of your substrate, and keep it more wet to lower your ec because of the water volume content. If your ec is lower than what you want, you would have less runoff to have the salt build up in your substrate more, and would dry it back more for a higher ec spike for the same reason stated as before

Ok

[@sativagirl1885]

gotta light?

[@derbsmcbergs]
