BCP F5 - Mars Hydro FC4800 Diary

*** These are not the Blackcherry Pie BX. There was no option for the F5 version. *** A Mars Hydro sponsored diary. The FC-4800, or any of the FC-series, is a great light. It has the diode count to warrant the advertised efficacy of 2.9umol/J. It's spec sheet is above, and it is accurate. If you have bought a light before, you know this alone sets it apart from most... honest. It has a solid build. The frame and heat sink is great. While not as important with high efficacy lgihts, heat dissipation always helps. You will get 50,000 to 60,000 hours of use out of this light. It is running the diodes at (480/2016) about 0.24watts per diode. This is roughly the same as how samsung tests their diodes, which is why the spec sheet from mars is more accurate than most others, especially the less expensive units out there. Cost of ownership will often be lower with this light compared to those that cost less up front. Not only will you save a few dollars each month, but you will get tens of thousands of hours more use out of the light, because it will retain intensity for a longer period of time. How hard the diode is drive is paramount to what you should expect out of it. So, we have Blackcherry Pie F5 by In House Genetics along with 3 other strains sitting under this light. It is only day 10 after sprout for these plants. Nothing too exciting to say at this point, but it seems to be growing just fine. I'll be keeping a male plant of this srain for future breeding. *** Again, these are not the Blackcherry Pie BX. There was no option for the F5 version. *** Check out Mars hydro instagram and GD profiles: @marshydro_aliexpress2 on Instagrm https://growdiaries.com/grower/marshydroled
