/diy/ - Do It Yourself

The problem with that is in most systems, you're only running a single plant per section. You don't mix plants, that's usually a bad idea in shared-space systems.

I have systems that use 74w and can grow most low-leaf crops in a 1.2m x 1.2m square area. Typical HID for the same space - 600w. Using about the same power as the HID in LED, I could stack the channels and produce loads of food in a tiny space.

>blue LEDs (normal, not super bright ones) have a lower voltage requirement to illuminate than say red LEDs

Not true. Blues operate on 3.2-3.6Vf typical. Reds use 2.4-3.0Vf It's all about that eV level.

Pic related. I only work with reds and blues.

I've also been posting pictures of crops I've been growing myself in every one of those thread, if you haven't been paying attention, fool. Peppers, Beans (in this thread, in fact,) and yet you claim there's no evidence.

Give me a break.
