@1BigFella 50 watts per square foot of either of those light sources at anywhere near those operating currents is completely unnecessary. Unless you want to waste a lot of energy.
@Aolelon you say that as if you couldn’t flower under either of those light spectrums alone? I’m a proponent for perpetual grows, but you can just build another light lol. It’s certainly not something the budget minded would do, but there’s nothing at all wrong with the capabilities of that light.
@dbrn32 No I think that you could flower under almost any cct light, I’ve seen pictures of people flowering under 4000k & 5000k and some that even use 4000k for their whole grow.
I was just talking about 1bigfellas idea of using 2 tents and 2 lights one for veg and one for flower, honestly it was completely unrelated to the rest of the topic at hand or the light that you posted. In fact I forgot what thread I was in.
No big deal, sometimes people read things too literally though. I too always recommend warmer temps any time the light will be used for flower, but agree colder temps will do more than good by most people’s standards. We start throwing numbers around and others lose track of things like a viparspectra is around 5000k light spectrum lol.
It should be pretty reasonable light for seed to harvest growing. If you were looking for a light to specifically veg under I would probably suggest moving to the 4000k strips. But 3000k or 3500k is good if you plan on flowering under the light too.
No worries, and thanks! @MattyBear has a 2x2 scrog going with one, pretty sure he’s getting close to harvest. He’s an exceptional grower in my opinion, but if you want an idea of what the light is capable of, definitely look that grow up.
