i'm just trying to get my lights to as closely mimic sunlight as possible. that's my goal.One day I might try adding the UV but that's a long ways off if I'm being honest.

retailmenot.comDo you guys have any coupons for growers lights?
The point is, you are not following actual scientists. You simply cobbled two claims together:I believe 3 scientists doing a published study vs a youtube grower.
That makes even less sense.i'm just trying to get my lights to as closely mimic sunlight as possible. that's my goal.
what level uv light did they test at and what is considered alot vs not so much?1) Scientists have show that with a lot of UV light there is a small increase in THC.
if they can give you a sunburn from a brief exposure, that's plenty in my book.CMH and MH lights emit a tiny fraction of their light as UV
really? how so? the sun is the best grow light on this planet bar none.That makes even less sense.

Well that's scientific yes.if they can give you a sunburn from a brief exposure, that's plenty in my book.
It is not. We use warm white lights because that's superior. No indoor grower uses 5500K lights to flower their cannabis. That kind of blue light is only good for growing greens. Not for flowering fruits/flowers.really? how so? the sun is the best grow light on this planet bar none.
A 3x3 will be fine. Best of luck!Ok fellas I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the 320qb. You guys make a lot of sense and I can't see this light as a bad purchase. So even though a few have already stated that the 320 with the mixed diode would work fine in a 3x3 I want to double check. You guys think it' good? Or should I exchange my tent.
Off topic question. Is it normal for your seeds to ship to Chicago IL and sit there for 4 days? I' dieing here. Lol
How hard is it to assemble? Maybe I can save a few bucks.
But ... Sunlight, in no way resembles the Chloro A and B absorption charts you mentioned in your previous post.i'm just trying to get my lights to as closely mimic sunlight as possible. that's my goal.
i wouldn't say no way. high blue peak, higher red peak. sunlight just doesn't have the dip in the middle nm range.But ... Sunlight, in no way resembles the Chloro A and B absorption charts you mentioned in your previous post.
Final question before I confirm purchase. and again fellas, thank you for all your input, insight, and guidance. If any of you are ever in south texas I dinner is on me!
So the 260 has the regular configuration and it says it's ok for a 3x3. The XW configuration is also good for 3x3. Is there any reason to go with one over the other?
Don't stress, man. You made a solid purchase, and I'm sure you will be very pleased with the results! I haven't vegged under 90 CRI, but I'm sure some folks here can give you feedback on that.I ended up fully pulling the trigger on the 320qb board since it's the only one with 3k in stock and the added 2700k is cool.
It specifically states the 3000k is 90cri, WO Deering if other 3000k on the other boards are 90 cri since none of the other kits specifically say anything about that. I'm tapped on budget for now so I'm hoping it' ok for vegging. I do have a China made cob set up that has blue and red. It's supposed to 800w with a 200w draw.. Lol but maybe it's good enough for veg? I'm so wore out worrying about this lighting situation. Kind of glad it's over. I was really stressing to get it right, last thing I need is to drop $500 and find out I could have done better.
