When should I pick this one

[BudgetGrower]

My results are good or aren’t? Just confused because u said sorry and said change them lol. I want one of them big square ones that cover the whole roof of the tent. I just don’t know what setting to put them on. I had these on the dimmers and wasn’t enough but I was unaware.

For the lights you have, the results are good, the LEDs are not good, they put out loads of heat and a small amount of light, you need to swap the LEDs for some full spectrum, your crop size will be low this time, just saying swap the LEDs and do the same again and you will pull a good crop.

A friend wanted me two try some LEDs, just happen to be the same as your (2 x 600w),

they are 132W old tech led, less efficient than actual leds, not 600W ...

Your right there meant to match a 600w hps but they don't even match a 150w hps, loads of grower got caught out a few year back

Your welcome Jimbo, it's easy from now on, you have have done all the hard work, I hope the buds fill out a little more, harvesting the plants is easy, just takes time when you pull a large crop.

I use a lux meter you can download it free, but only works on full spectrum LEDs. I hold it at the canopy level and keep the reading between 30,000 lux and 40,000 lux, works perfect.
You want to work out the flower room size in feet, say it's 3ft x 3ft (9ft2) you will need lights that draw between 270w and 360w
You need between 30w and 40w per ft2
It's what I have worked out over time and it gives me great results.
