Plants definitley responded well, you can see more of the smaller shoots reaching toward the light, i had to tuck and bend even more branches, i lifted the lights to 21" to get a canopy reading at 77f



What do you mean? ive never heard of too much light to be honest im curious.

Real nice to hear. I think I'm going to have to get me that 4 pack. Do you think you could cover a little more area than just a 4×4?? Also, how many plants do you have in your tent??

yeah i feel like you could easily cover a 5x5 or maybe even a 6x6, depends on your canopy height really. Those pics are with 6 plants, but we are going to do 8 plants to cut down on the veg time.

Hey Traplife :)) I was reading today on another forum that LED can give you better potency THC....?
Do you think this could be possible or I was reading garbage ?
I knew id seen it written somewhere..
Find out soon enough I guess :))
Cheers

Each 200w states it can cover a 3×3 area at 16 inches. So if over lapped (4) of them should be able to cover a 5×5 area or pushing it a 6×6. I think im going to pick up the (4) pack. It's actually a good deal.

Like how much more? What are your current lab results?

yep they're definitely a great amount of light for a reasonable price considering the technology.

What did you do hooking those lights up to to a timer?

I hooked up all 4 lights to a power strip, then that power strip to a timer i bought from Home Depot here it can handle up to 1300w and 15a i believe.

I'm not sure why LED light would produce more potent THC. Light photons don't vary, and as long as your plants are getting light in the PAR range (Photosynthetic Active Radiation - the spectrum of light which plants can photosynthesize). there are so many variables in doing a LED vs HPS comparison that you would literally have to do it in a lab type environment to make sure that the test is done with complete equality.
