Thanks that helps alot. I knew it wasn't 600watt the ppfd was pretty weak. I have it 12 inches away from my seedlings and the ppfd is only 220. How close do you think I could have it to the plants.Reading from the specs, it says the light draws 92 +/- 5 watts from the wall. All the "600W" marketing aside, it's a 90-ish watt light. 24 diodes is 40% of 60. If 40% of the diodes are powered in veg, that's 36W. You could start a lot of seedlings under it. A 10" x 20" tray would be no problem. If we figure 25W/square foot of canopy as a target for flower, it would be enough light to finish three to four square feet of canopy. A 2x2 or a bit less.
I'm a bit of a contrarian about PAR levels, especially with seedlings. I run for the first month under a 2-foot fluorescent T5. It *might* be 100 ppfd. Watch your plants. They'll tell you how much light they want. Praying = more, please. Flat and level = happy. Twisted, taco-ed, edge curled, and anything else that reduces surface area = turn it down.Thanks that helps alot. I knew it wasn't 600watt the ppfd was pretty weak.

I think of it in terms of square feet of canopy, not plant count. You can fill a 4x4 with one plant, five plants, nine plants, or more. The variable is veg time. 450 watts is about right for a 4x4, hand-watering in media, without supplemental CO2.I think they look ok. If they start to curl I'll move the lights away. Thank you for helping me I'm super new to growing. 2nd attempt. I'm getting a better light in a couple weeks. A phlizon pl4500 qb led. It's a 450watt led I found off this app. Do you think that light could flower 3 plants. I'm thinking this light will only finish 1 plant right.
I'm using it for like 2 more weeks. I am going to buy a philzon pl4500 qb led light I found on this app. It's 450 watt. I'm hoping to fit 3 plants under it and one under the shitty lightAre you using this light JUST for seedlings... i wish blurple lights would be discontinued all together... this says 4x4 for veg however I realistically expect this to be good for 1 med size plant
So I done a little research qbs tend to cause more of a call mag deficiency for some reason...check out their fd6000... I got 2 lbs off 4 plants under that lightn no issues... good bang for buck!!!I'm using it for like 2 more weeks. I am going to buy a philzon pl4500 qb led light I found on this app. It's 450 watt.

Ok ok. I only get 200 to spend from my woman right now. I'm gonna get the cheaper one now and get the better one tax refund time!So I done a little research qbs tend to cause more of a call mag deficiency for some reason...check out their fd6000...
