Hey all. I run a blog about indoor gardening with LEDs and my crop of choice is peppers. Looking forward to chatting about them.

Thanks all
 
The blog is focused on teaching about DIY LED lights and can be found here!
 
I'm currently gearing up for a kratky or bubble bucket grow (haven't decided yet) with a handful of different peppers:
 
7 pot bubblegum red, chocolate brainstrain, jalapeno, cow horn sweet, banana pepper, caramel moruga scorpion, and trinidad scorpion.
 
They are all hanging out in rockwool cubes under a pair of HLG QB96 right now:
 

 
They will eventually go into a 4'x8' space under 8x HLG Quantum Boards:

Just coming to the end of our summer so planning an indoor tent grow, 31 cents per KwH power prices and space constraints are my main concern.

Q: When dimmed, do LED's retain their colour spectrum? - I'm coming from HPS and thinking of buying a dimmable LED so I can dictate the power consumption depending on my needs; which could be fluid.

Q: As my outdoor plants canopies seem to have a diameter twice that of the pots diameter, should I have an indoor plant pot half the diameter of available per plant grow space?

Thanks.
