Are you planning on adding more light for flowering ?

I didn't plan on it.

How far are ur lights for top of plant?

U said viparspectra u have two 600w how much u yeild a good amount good nugs

I've TWO 1200 watters. The buds I've already harvested are extremely dense and Very potent. That video on the GDP'S WAS 2-1/4 LB.

you need a lot more light, plain and simple. plants are stretched out cuz they're looking for light. If you're gonna run flouros, you gotta run them within 6" of the plant since that light source is real weak.

A couple nugs

I just moved them up cause the one plant was touching. The chart I looked at had 4400 lumens in the mid range for light, what are you suggesting?

visajoe1 · Jul 27, 2019

lumens for humans, par for plants. you're paying attention to the wrong numbers, lumens is irrelevant. you need high par light source. flouros are low par, therefore you must run several tubes very close to get better growth. your nugs will be small light and airy with current setup

To bad shipping wasn't free I would be a nice grower and send u a hps 600w I never used and get rid of those shop lights

These are LED tubes not florescent bulbs, is that still the same?

Lowes. $15 or and my plants are doing well. They are 2 bulb led at 2200 lumens. I think for a home grower its fine.

That's interesting. I've used LED lightbulbs a lot. I've wondered how flourescent tube replacements would work. It all boils down to lumens per watt (which is all you have to work with when you don't have PAR meter). Something I've noticed: if you remove the diffusion cover you'll double or quadruple the lumens.

I do that with LED lightbuls. Usually the LEDs are surface mounted to the base of the bulb, all facing the same direction. Removing the plastic "globe" makes a *huge* difference. I've grown as well with them (at 20w/sq ft) as traditional lighting (although I think the lack of UV didn't produce as much crystals, stickieness). But, it's nice to be able to go to the local hardware store for lighting, use componetized/commoditized fixtures and bulbs.

I think those LED "tubes" should be very close to the plants. And, if you can remove the diffusor. maybe 1" from the plants. (With the diffusor I'd think it's similar to flouro tubes which would be 2-6" from the canopy.).

I have been using the AGLEX COB LED 1200w. They each pull 220w from the wall. I have a 5x5 grow space with reflective Mylar on the walls. I’ve got 2x1200w and one 600w. In total all 3 are pulling 600 true watts. I have had pretty good results with them. Keeps the space cool too.
