You’re going to kill it. Mine will ship on the 29th. Talked to them yesterday. Super stoked.Not that anyone asked buuuut...
In my 4x4 tent I'm using a Timber 4VS at 3500k for veg/full spectrum (https://timbergrowlights.com/model-4vs/). It pulls 420w from the wall:

Seems a little underpowered for a full 4'x4' canopy so for flower I'm supplementing with a Trio of Daisies at 3000k spectrum - 'supposedly' better than HPS watt for watt for producing buds. These are like 95w a piece for an additional 285w from the wall I believe (https://timbergrowlights.com/trio-of-daisies-3/):

Since the Daisies are pendants you can arrange them how you like which is why there's no PAR map (same spectrum graph applies).
Planning to spot-hang the daisies since I have an uneven canopy with multiple strains.
They're worth checking out. I went that way cause I didn't know absolutely one fucking thing about grow lights (just started) but I had seen BAS rave about the Timber COBs on some video so I didn't think it could be a bad place to start.
I'm an engineer by day so I love nerding out on this stuff.
Thanks dude looking forward to your side-by-side. I'm flipping tomorrow soooYou’re going to kill it. Mine will ship on the 29th. Talked to them yesterday. Super stoked.
OMG, OMG, OMG, but, but, but, but they're NOT Samsung!!! Heresy Aquaman. For shame...If they are owned by Osram I would says it's pretty likely they use thier own diodes. Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with Osram.
You’ll be fine. The major thing to watch is the humidity and temps. The journey is just beginning. It gets fun and stinky from here. Happy grows.Thanks dude looking forward to your side-by-side. I'm flipping tomorrow soooI'm a nervous virgin hahaha
Lol right... I just don't like epistar in terms of quality.... But as you say plants don't know, they only care about spectrum and intensity.OMG, OMG, OMG, but, but, but, but they're NOT Samsung!!! Heresy Aquaman. For shame...
I'm just clowning. My plants are dumb as, well, dirt. They don't know where the light is coming from.
I'm not a big fan of them either, though my current lights (SP-250) use them. I'm happy with them as my first lights, though overall I think the spectrum has a little too much blue for them to really excel as a flowering light.Lol right...

What spectrum are they?I'm not a big fan of them either, though my current lights (SP-250) use them. I'm happy with them as my first lights, though overall I think the spectrum has a little too much blue for them to really excel as a flowering light.

I love the hidden mocking savagery. I’m quite new to the indoor growing thing so excuse me for recommending Samsung Diodes. Apparently I haven’t educated myself in lighting for MJ.
I’d like to buy an osram product and do a comparison with the same type of plants.
As a matter of fact I will buy one.
I know there’s better lights on market but for the trail I went with the middle of the road stuff I’m going to convert my daughters room into a grow space she’s moving out next month , baby chicken has flower from the nest .... in doing a happy dance inside ....I went with Viparspectra I’ve never used led so I thought I’d try them out ... pretty dam good I’ve ordered 2 more 1200 with dimmers on veg n bloom cycle I’ve only 3x3x6 tents the 600w is killing it in the smaller tent . Od now a led user ...

Yes pro model full spectrum ones ..You got the new pro model? Seems equivalent to mars or spider farmer.
So I did good then ?Yes pro model full spectrum ones ..

That would be my pick alsoAsking me? I have not used an led light yet. Im following along to learn of options.
I will say that i am not sure i want the spectrum shown for flowering. More blue than i would prefer. Likely amazing for veg.
I am picking though. I want 3000k with only 660nm far red added and i want samsung and cree or osram.
But that will cost 25% more per light.
