New Led Light

[Diane11]

Hello! Okay, so for Mother's Day I got a 19w red spec LED to replace my vegger CFL'S in my 2x3x4 tent(only 3 plants) and I'm trippin off if that's enough light for my girls... I'm not a math person, lol, so can somebody pls help me figure out the equivalent between the two?? I was using 3)23w CFL's and now they've been replaced with 1)19w LED... I feel like I need more light! This is my first time with led so I really need help! Thanks guys!! Oh! Also, I have a 600w HPS in my flower room and I put 2 of those CFL's on the sides for side light...does that sound about right for a small grower thats weed is allll personal?? Lol Here's a before and after..

Hey Diane,
Is that LED the Feit they sell at Home Depot?. I remember when I saw that LED if its the same one they actually sell 2 different spectrum's, one for veg(Blue) and one for bloom(Red).
Maybe You could get a t5 to veg with more blue 6500k. Your feeling was Correct! 19watts of light wont grow those very big or strong. If Your 600 watt light has an adjustable ballast?? 250 watt MH to veg would work well. The LED could be used as side supplemental lighting in flower, looks like it has a lot of red which isn't great for Veg.

Yes @Polar510 its the exact one! Okay so I've been really wanting to use t5's for veg for awhile now... he tried lol. And he caught me off guard. So I'm worried about my clones and seedlings. So being that its red, r u saying to take it out completely for veg and just use for flower ONLY? In that case I need another one for the other side of my bloom room and put t5's in the vegger (on Thursday) That makes me feel comfortable just thinking about it that way. Thank you so much!!!

Yes Sa'h!! ;) I've decided, based on advice, to get another one for my flower room for side light. And I'm gonna go ahead and get those t5's I've been wanting. Thank you!!!

LOL!!! I'm using the 600w hps in my flower room right now for sure!! I only rotate with about 3 plants at a time. But Yupp!, that mafuckas ON! Hahaa!! Ty!!

Its sum shit like 4700k flower(red hue)6500k veg(blue)..so b4 buying leds or floro's check the spectrum..

 

[Dan789]

Count me in on the T5 veg'ing. I bought a small led dual switch (veg/bloom) fixture for when I thought I was going kill it for clones. Sadly the clones all died due to a combination of my ignorance and not having a clue how to; but bought some clones, veg' under the T5 fixture then LED's for the bloom phase.
For finishing you've got to "bring it", biggest gun wins. Good luck Diane.

Thank you @Dan789 ive been wanting t5's for a while now and it's time to change although the CFL's haven't treated me too bad. But I definitely need to bring game to that bloom room!! Thanks for the validation on the t5's :)

So I just put the led in my flower room and put the CFL's back in my veg room and now I can sleep better tonight thanks to all your help! Much appreciated!!
