Chocolope Story
“I bagged up a half pound each of chocolope grown under a tesla light and a half pound under the Gaia 8. And I took it to a connoisseur and asked him which would you like?”
He said “the one grown under the Gaia 8 had better fragrance, better sparkle, and the buds felt more dense” needless to say he took the half pound grown under the Gaia 8.
– “Fuzzy” grow master
Hotspots
Hotspots can be an issue burning leaves and causing flowers to poorly develop. The next picture shows a Infra Red picture of an HID light showing a higher operating temperature and hotspots on the leave exceeding 98 degrees
This next picture shows a happy plant underneath the Gaia 8 with a maximum temperature 6 degrees cooler. These two plants are in the same room but just under their respective lights.
And here you can see that the light itself operates at about 111 degrees
