True. I just don’t understand why it claims it’s 2000 watts I know it isn’t.Nothing ventured nothing gained. Od .
It's a great question mate @Aqua Man @MIMedGrower these guys will have the info mate give it a bit and I'm sure we will get to the bottom of it . OdTrue. I just don’t understand why it claims it’s 2000 watts I know it isn’t.
That light should work well. How is it so far?Hey guys, ordered this a few days ago. Only about $250. I know that the actual wattage isn’t 2,000. It claims it’s enough for a 4x4. Only gonna have about 5 auto flowers under it. If it works well, I might buy another for the other side. I just don’t know I’m scared I wasted my money, yet again. Thanks to Amazon, and my own ignorance...
Yes you are right. 3x3 it's plenty but 4x4 would need to be autos kept on 18/6 to make up for the lack of intensity. I should have looked at the space required. Imo 25-30w is plenty to flower 12/12 but autos on 18/6, can get aways with 15-20. On 24/0 10-15.It's really not enough for a 4x4. Even 3x3 is pushing it.
I missed the auto part. Looked at the light though. It has lots of diodes with little power compared to others. Does that mean it hangs closer and has less penetration? Just wondering..Yes you are right. 3x3 it's plenty but 4x4 would need to be autos kept on 18/6 to make up for the lack of intensity. I should have looked at the space required.

So it will hang closer but also be more efficient and if the spacing is good run cooler. I prefer more diodes which is one of the reasons I bought the Scorpion diablo over the gavita.I missed the auto part. Looked at the light though.

How many watts per sq foot you run personally? Curious cuz I always hear that 25-30 number but I went there and still wanted more, I’m prolly closer to 40/45So it will hang closer but also be more efficient and if the spacing is good run cooler.

It depends on how even the spread is. I used to be capable of running about 40 that's with co2. But I could never max it as the plants would shit themselves because of the distance. Watts per sq ft is only as good as your spread. With my diablo I could run run a 5x5 with 640ish watts aboit 25w/sq ft and very close to the plants meaning less light lost. All of those factors need to be accounted for as more light makes it to the plants. That's why gavitas 1700e and the Scorpion diablo are recommended for co2. The intensity is really up there at thise distances and they able to maintain spread. Ino that makes them much more efficient because very little light gets wasted.How many watts per sq foot you run personally?
