Increased needs?

With a full spectrum quality LED the plants will feed heavier than with HPS.

Lots o' call mag +

Sent from my SM-G900V using Rollitup mobile app

 

[GlockGuy50]

Oh that makes sense. I still got cheap panels but planning to go diy soon.

 

[captainmorgan]

More extra mag than cal is what I found,to much cal can cause lockouts.

Also keep your lights ~18-24" from the canopy. Though if a couple stretch up closer don't worry. How large is your area?

 

[Zheol]

wont be set up for a while I just took some fat dabs but ill up date the main post with some pics I just took only pulled out 1 each big box has 2 small boxes each with a rw75

I updated the OP with the pics and tent size 4x4

Just wanted to mention that 600 HPS is not enough to cover 4x4 and 4 rw-75's isn't enough,I would recommend 30-35 watts a sq/ft for area 51.

You are so wrong...my blockbuster with a 600w hps covers a 4x4 area perfectly, the blockbuster hood is designed to cover a 4x4.

You may have a hood that spreads the light evenly over a 4x4 but that's only 37.5 watts a sq/ft with a 600.

yah 600w was more then enough coverage for a 4x4 area

 

[Zheol]

when im pullen 10oz to 15 oz a harvest in 2gallon pots with supersoil I mix was subs recipe but had to change a few things and a 600watt bulb that's not too shabby veg times changes from 2-4 weeks depending on how fast my screen fills

It didn't say it won't grow,it's just not maximizing the space. I just pulled 10 on a 3x3 with 270 watts of LED and will do better this run.

a 600w in a 4x4 space is more than adequate lighting for that area, I have literally gotten pounds from a 4x4 area with a 600w hps lighting it, and it has more than ample growing intensity from corner to corner I even have a lux meter to measure and the corners are actually more intense in my 4x4 than the center. my tent is a 4x4 grow lab and I use a galaxy grow amp 600w w/ turbo boost, blockbuster hood.

Lol....

Lux

...Lol

I just use it to get an idea of light intensity so I don't put the light too high, it works, but obviously a par meter would be better but I don't want to pay for it.
