I can vouch for the P2000 and P2500! :)

Do they raise the temps a lot or is it not a big deal?

 

[Growrx]

it puts off less heat than my 1200w phlizon, just threw the second fan in. I like to run two in my 2x2’s

It doee not put off too much heat. It’s nice and bright, to answer your first questions yes! It’s a firm piece of hardware, and my first full spectrum light.. I tried running a Mars hydro t600 but it ran waaaaaay too hot. Made my tent creep up to 88°

I have zero issues with heat and I'm in the deep South.

Someone gave me an Amazon gift card, and I'm thinking about replacing my blurple wonder with the p2000 for my next grow. (2x4 tent)

I have a 600w viperspecta 2 cycle reflector series, the lowerd the price and upgraded the model, it can now be had for $150 deliverd, Mars sucks but this light is not bad, is your light 2 cycle or just full spec? How are you going to bloom your plants with just full spec unless your running autoflowers and even then the light is a great veg light but a poor bloom light not enough red, i have a California light works cob bloom booster for flower it cost $500, ill check out ur light but with no bloom feature ill probably stick with my 2 cycle.

Currently running autos, I hear and read it’s full spectrum and can be used all the way through. I would assume full spectrum is close to sunlight? Am I wrong or can someone clarify?

Well my old 600w burned out so I strayed away from blurple led’s to compare and possibly electricity savings

I run photos all the way through. Current flower under P2500's. The results under these lights is excellent imo.

Looks awesome! Excited to see how my two plants grow! Did you use manufacture recommendations on distance and intensity?

Nope sort of ignored them lol! They are running at 100%

I'm running at 100%, 20 inches or so above the taller ones, 24 to 30 inches above the rest. Same for veg. Still dialing it in though. Dont write that down as a good thing lol :))))

Sounds good, I’m at about 60% 28inches away on my seedlings. I’ll hammer them with light as soon as they develop a bit more

 

[Growrx]

Just added in a Govee to monitor temp and humidity on the go. Looks to be running well

 

[Growrx]

Ordered two AC Infinity RAXIAL S4
for each of my 2x2’s just to help with high temps, using it as an intake.
I have the light currently at about 20” away.

Left is blueberry auto right is Alaskan purple auto :)

Water change is due later today, thinking of starting lst, should I introduce silica blast (botanicare silica) first time using a silica product.
It’s been 2 weeks since they were put into her RDWC home.
The plant on the left looks a bit odd to me. Slight brown in the leaves was thinking calcium? Insight or advice anyone?
