So I have a couple of 1000w bestva leds that needed purpose, so I put them in the 4x4 with my 1000w hps spacing such the canopy is getting 35-50 lux. Too much? the plants absolutely are loving it. Thinking that the spectrum and energy they are getting is to their liking.
As a second thought they are not getting as much energy from the bestva leds because of the distance but dam they love the color in combination with the hps. I guess this lends itself to the white light argument, in that they like a broader spectrum over the burple lights or hps only. It will be fun to see the out comes. Have a white light led in another tent with the same age girls. We shall see which does better.
2 day ish things are busting up through the screen. Have a little training i can do yet. Not sure if they would like it much after wk3 into the 12/12 this being the second week. Experimented a tad with the lights i have. First week they had a 600w hps only. Didn't seem adequate. Had a 1000w in the last grow. So switch them out saw that the 1000w bestva were also available and voila. More is better right? What could go wrong?
I don't think anyone has looked but here's a picture wk out with lights upped to 1000 watts(was at 750) and raised hps to its finish height kept leds at about 18" and tilted them as side lights and supplemental.
