Some sense to that, BUT its still NOT what plants want at that stage.For the seedlings 4k is better. No need for low temp (3000-3500k) red light on them. The bigger light, the 480, id go with 3500 just to have the versatility of being able to use it for flowering also, if the need ever arrises
we can agree to disagree right now......Red light on seedlings causes unwanted/unneeded stretch. Higher blue light will keep it bushier. There are countless side by side grows demonstrating this documented online. Seems pretty common knowledge around here that blue=veg red=flower
I have the 301h also get them if you want....... I'm just saying what I Know works..... for me......................... and you can veg and get kick azz plants with that light.................................... you can add red it helps........
I run the 240w cause if something happens your not down the whole light..... also cheaper to fix.... more options..... and Don't like the heat sinks on the bigger lights....
again just my 2 cents.....
that link is to big for me to see... sry.....
that there says ALOT....................................>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>My 3k panels vegged as good as any MH i have ever grown under!
Dimming is key, intensity is big factor and these qb boards have intense perpetrating light.
the heat sinks are better..... if a driver goes out it's CHEAPER for sure to get...... something to think about.....is all I'm sayingMaybe i will go with 2x 240w just incase something happens ill still have one light hopefully. I never thought of that
So is 4000 a good idea for the seedling tent with my 125w?
and ill get 2x 240w 3500 for my 4x4 veg tent?
Or should they all be 3500?
yes he does and in the real world my lights work.........Hey @basscaptain, am really pleased the 3500' works out for you, but @GrowWeedQuestion asked a question and deserves best practise answers.
The fact that your light works isn't best advice or best practice.
All we're doing is giving 'best practice advice': and he makes the decisions regardless.
(For the record I can't afford those or any decent lights: I got shitty LEDs with half the watts I need, I am very poor).
But IF I had to buy a light for veg phase ONLY it would be with cooler whites and with less red than 3.5k
@GrowWeedQuestion , suggest a little more research before you hit 'pay now' but its your call.
Good luck
