Damn so you’re saying the kinds are using only half the actual wattage they say??? it’s really only about 645w over a 4x4 for flower? I heard you could stretch the veg out to 6x6?As in this one https://allgreenhydroponics.com/products/kind-k3-series2-xl600-led-grow-light?variant=14031856533613&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Desktop - Branded&utm_term=4580702888816896&utm_content=All Products
That is only 320 watts at the plug per the specifications. You want right around 30 watts per square foot of LED lighting. I would consider Luxx, Gavita or Fluence to name a few. Kind is not known for producing good lights from what I am for knowledge.
40 is too much, I have ran all of these and they already produce light burn if you run them as recommended, that is with CO2 injection.Yeah.. always find the true watts. Or outlet wattage. Or wall wattage. Or whatever the fuck terminology they use in the specifications.
Marketing is a bitch.
Between 30-40 true watts/square foot is the ubiquitous 'sweet spot'... depending on genetics.
It that the light you have?Damn so you’re saying the kinds are using only half the actual wattage they say??? it’s really only about 645w over a 4x4 for flower? I heard you could stretch the veg out to 6x6?
So I’m essentially running only 600w total in each tent?Real watts is like 150w. Your nugs would be falling over or burned from 1200w led
They’re cheap Amazon lights, they actually say king ledIt that the light you have?
So should you run them dimmed or just hraise the lights?40 is too much, I have ran all of these and they already produce light burn if you run them as recommended, that is with CO2 injection.

That definitely depends on genetics, spread, spectrum, etc.40 is too much, I have ran all of these and they already produce light burn if you run them as recommended, that is with CO2 injection.

Ya that sounds more like it. You stated Kind but I had a feeling it was King. From the picture you posted those are not even close to 600 watts per light. Gavita, Luxx and Fluence are all right around 640 watts from the wall per fixture.They’re cheap Amazon lights, they actually say king led
I already sold the Growers Choice. The rest I am running. Besides they are like 1.5K per light for the good guy price. If you want quality lights for a professional grow you are going to be in that price range.Any of them you’re not running youd wanna get rid of lmk! Lol
Wooooow so what do u think I’m really sitting at then? And you suggest Luxx 645 per ever 6x6 veg and 4x4 flower?Ya that sounds more like it. You stated Kind but I had a feeling it was King.

Makes sense why my buds are not super dense eitherWooooow so what do u think I’m really sitting at then? And you suggest Luxx 645 per ever 6x6 veg and 4x4 flower?
I have not really spent much time looking at the Luxx gear because of what I know about that brand and I am going to leave it at that. IMO I would run the Gavita's or the Fluence. HLG also makes a good light from what people have stated on this site.Makes sense why my buds are not super dense either
The Luxx controller looks so modern tho and digital is spydr or gavita like that? And I feel u Ik the jungle boys are way over hype haha
I work in a commercial grow that runs DE hps gavita. My home grow is what I’m talking about on here usually. I just need lighting requirements for 4x4 areas and 6x6’s. When I start my own commercial grow however could I just multiply the number of lights per how many 4x4’s I have?You stated a commercial grow, so how many lights are you talking about in your set up?
40? 80? a couple hundred?
No it was an assumption.Burnz did you find one that is 150Watts? I did a quick search and found the 320Watt option. To be honest the buds look like they are under more like 300 watts IMO.
Flower I would run a commercial LED grow light to save power. In veg I would not spend the money on Commercial LED's. I would just purchase T5 high output fixtures and deck them out with LED tubes. Saves money and electricity. For your 4 x 4 tent just look at Kingbrite that is what most on here run for hobby growing. If you are going to eventually grow commercially you are going to have to considered a large investment to do a commercial LED set up. I would plan on 50k to do just a 10 light room commercially. That is just for the build out and equipment. Depending on how you want to run the room the cost can go up but will not go down.I work in a commercial grow that runs DE hps gavita.

Appreciate the feedback and recommendations my guy. You should check out my grow thread to see my set up and any tips are appreciated!Flower I would run a commercial LED grow light to save power.
