Thanks, I'm ready to upgrade now, we're two solid weeks into flower and I'd like to get some led implemented into this run.
Go a51 in your case. 2 RW150's will do your space great. and save you some $$$. AT600 vs 4 a51 is where I say go AT for the difference. But anything less than a 4x4/3x6 and full height(6ft+)...a51 or diy is the way to go.
As for the RW vs XGS...I don't actually believe that they are equal, I think the XGS could pull a few more grams in a side by side. Every run done so far that I have seen has had them in the same room/tent basically touching...and over all they have gotten great results....but cross over(intensity and spectrum), sharing environment, many things helping the other side in addition to under it's own.
I would love to see them each in their own 3x3 with same clones medium/systems and vegged under one source different from the a51's.
And since I am being picky...also a different test done by vegging the same time under the XGS and RW, then flowered under each too.
The first test seeing which one just flowers better....the second determining which is the true seed to harvest champ. To me the RW and even the sgs are better simply because the veg spectrums...being able to really hit the blue. Giving better faster veg than the xgs, but similar flowering abilities. So the less wattage gets made up by the superior veg ability, then stay neck and neck during flower....that is my theory on the two.
My other theory is the foot print of the unit is more or less maxed out and the additional wattage/output is too far beyond the point of diminishing returns for spread. I see it in at200's when I crank them up(internally and against warranty...do not try at home)...not that much of a gain considering the wattage increase.
Then again I could be totally wrong too, just my thoughts/opinions on the lights.
