What would you guys go with for a dedicated VEG spectrum. Anyone have first hand experience with both and liked one over the other?
Are you planning on running two separate areas/tents? If same area, why not split it up into 4000k:3000k? Just use 4000k when vegging then both during flower. You can use 1:3 or so since veg doesn't need as much juice plus keeping your output dominantly red.Ok cool, but having a 4k veg light and a dedicated flowering light... is still a better idea than having a 3500k light for both ? right ? and said flowering light, would be at what kelvin if you had to suggest ? your'e helping me alot here
Same 2x2 tent, So a 4000k veg and enable another 3000k for flowering which will push it into red more and give it more watts in general.Are you planning on running two separate areas/tents?

What lights are you going to run?
Low Kelvin (3000k, 2700k or lower) and high cri (90+) is what you're chasing for flowering. This all pushes the output deeper into the reds which is what we want
73% that has to be the new record i think ? congratsI'm running CXB3590 6500k DD bin @73% efficiency 72v chip dimmed down on a HLG-185H-C500A driver

are you sure its not 73.5? you may have made an error when scaling the assumed bin jump efficiency from the assumed efficiency numbers which were extrapolated two years ago at a different operating temperature from a current range never provided by cree. def might be some rounding errors in there, id hate for you to short yourself.I'm running CXB3590 6500k DD bin @73% efficiency 72v chip dimmed down on a HLG-185H-C500A driver
I would stick to 5000K...4500k/4700k if you can get some.What would you guys go with for a dedicated VEG spectrum. Anyone have first hand experience with both and liked one over the other?
