Marshydro FC oder FC-E
Kolibristarted grow question 5y ago
Is the higher price of the FC series worth it compared to the FC-E series? On paper, the difference seems rather marginal.

To me it’s not.. it’s just slightly more efficient basically. You could argue the diodes may last longer too.
FC runs Samsung 301b diodes
FCE runs some bridgelux diodes
I think driver may be different brand also.
I run the FC E4800 and love it.. when I expand I will do the FCE series.
I think it’s just a way to make a bit more money on the name brand LM301B diodes everyone seems to think are so much better. Like you said they’re marginally better, and it’s mainly just efficiency I believe.
I say go FCE series personally.
I’ve got a few grows under them in diaries of ya wanna look

I would go for SP series. have two, love them.
All results which I saw FC Vs SP - SP had nicer and better results in my personal view looking at photos or numbers of harvests....
Good luck !

Led Grow lightsI have a viperspectra xs4000 light 480 watts I am running it at around 25% on the dimmer switch and my lights are about 24" from my canopy. I've noticed some of my pistols wilting and looking stressed. Should I try to move my lights higher or continue dimming them down more?Week 8

Which strategy with auxiliary grow Leds ? 3x20w Leds -Thanks !Helps maturing but I wonder if buds are bigger. I used to put 3 extra lights 20 cm below canopy, leave many large leaves at the top and lollypop 30%. 30% is definitely not enough even with those 20w LEDS (50% is probably better). How do you use extra LEDS ? Where do you put them?

Longer Light Cycle - Mid BloomIs changing the light cycle of an autoflower from 18/6 to 20/4 in mid flower too stressful? Doing so would bump my DLI enough to keep my existing light through harvest. She sleeps like clockwork but less so now in mid flower. Will she adjust in a couple days to a longer day?Week 8

As i see my Cfl this girl is standing right below the plastic part of the cfl and obviously gets less sun.
How can i fix this? Changing place my pots every day will do the job?Week 2
