would these work well for a full cycle (seed to harvest) grow light in a 2ft by4ft tent. Ihave 365,385, 425, and 470nm diodes I could use to make a supplemental light

those lights only pull 168 watts from the wall. and i think they're for microgreens. different than plants that bear flowers or fruit. i'd say go for something better/different

how much do you have to spend? for about 200ish dollars, you can DIY quantum boards. a 4 pack of some good QB's on HLG will run you about $132. another $50 or so for the driver, and lets say another $50 for wires, tools, materials. and it would be great for 2x4. i have a 4x4 space and have 2 of these set up. and it wasnt difficult to put together either

my main light draws 434 watts. I am looking for a way to add more red to my spectrum during flowering.
I am currently using these mixed with ny 6500k veg bulb but they only last 8000 hours https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FQ87DP6/?coliid=I2GA9WD8U48GW9&colid=AW7UKM9ED6GM&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it.

If your on morphine, this might not be the best time to buy a new light, lol.

Hey Padawan warrior. For better or worse, some people are on these medications for the long term.

I know. I was kidding. I order shit all the time I don't need after I've had a few too many beers. I have more lights and grow equipment than I need right now, lol. I was making fun of myself kinda.

My room is narrow (2'6" ) and I use a Timber cob light that is perfect for it. Mine is 3500 k but you can pick

I have stage 4 bone cancer so methadone and morphine only manage the pain. my care giver is helping with my grow so I'm switching to 8 plants in 5 gallon fabric pots with no training and flipping when the plants reach 12 inches to keep things simple for my caregiver

I second the qb120's. Cheap, high quality, and great customer service. Im running them in a 2x4 cabinet and love them.

nice bt what I really need is a 660 nm strip light . my main light is 18 inches wide leaving only 6 inches to work with I tried mounting 3 watt 660 and 630nm diodes on 1 inch aluminum "U" chanels held 1 inch from the main light with croosbars attached to the main light with double sided foam tape but those cheap e-bay diodes are not very good. I am beginning to see strips on e-bay using 561 diodes (208 lpw at 65 ma) so maybe something good will come along https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sun-Board-96-Samsung-lm561c-3000k-450nm-680nm-700nm-Quantum-Grow-emerson-flower/174305146253

I've been a T5 grower for 6 years and see no reason to change.LEDs may be good for suplimental lighting and I like playing with LEDS but for a primary grow light I am not interested in any light that can not supply PSII stimulation or UVA to a plant and the only LED that can provide PSII stimulation is made by austrailian grow lights and my T5s are a lot cheaper
