Been gnawing on this for awhile, not sure if thought process is valid or what leads me to consider it but,
considering PPFD,DLI and similar measures equal, can, for the oversimplified sake of argument, the same quality final product be produced with a 400w as with a 1000w, the primary difference being yield? OR does the initial increased intensity of the source lead to increased density, terp production, etc?
The math seems to tell me they should be equal quality different yield, but I can’t imagine growing a 1x1 space with 40w??
Perhaps the math shows greater ratio of usable light lost with lower initial light intensity, resulting in decreased maximum potential, meaning what’s left of the light energy just can’t get the plant to optimum? I know I mixed measurements, not trying to compare apples to oranges, I hope I made clear the concept I’m wrestling with and relative feedback is appreciated.
