i have 4 of these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hydro-C...le-Grow-Light-System-CMH01-315-ROPE/302785610
using a phillips bulb. i'm early in the stages so i've only been using 1. i had the seeds (solo cup) in the left side of my tent and a second light on the other end to keep the tent heated.
i had 8 seeds, paper towel'd, they sprouted 2", i cupped them, and proceeded to kill them (i think) i believe from too much light so early in the seeds life. or overwatering but i believe it was from the light intensity.
i just switched over to a blurple light so i'll see what happens. but i have 8 (more) seeds remaining and likely a reboot/retry coming up using those 8 seeds. i'm going to use the blurple led for the early stages, but when should i switch over to the CMH lights? and should i only use 1 CMH until a certain size is reached?
if it helps, tent size is 48x96x72" and i plan for 8 plants but i think 3 lights is all i would need? they cover a 3'x3' area they say.
