Okay so I have a 3x3 that I’m running HPS with. I want to switch to LED but also be able to grow with them in the winter.
Lung room gets down to 64 degrees and humidity is high. Preserving heat by reducing extraction is not an option. I need heavy exhaust.
With the 600 watt HPS even with the low temps it’s still a bit annoying to keep the temps right. I get 82 at canopy and it’s more like 72-73 degrees below canopy.
The Vivarspectra KS3000 seems to be the best bang for the buck, but it’s only 350 watts. Not enough heat with my heavy exhaust.
So I’m thinking about either two HLG 260 or 300 rspec lights. That would be 520-600 watts. Plenty of heat for the top half of the room.
Other option is the KS3000 above, but with supplemental side lighting down below. I feel like that would probably be better for yields, but also raise the temperature enough for the lower portion of the room.
I could even put a 100 watt light panel in the center facing up, but that seems tricker than side lighting. Hell I could do all of it, up-facing lights and/or side lights with the KS3000, or 520-600 watts from 2x hlg lights? Or shit, two HLG’s dimmed as needed AND side lights?
What would THCF’s do?
