Hey Kilbot, it is 18 inches x 11 inches. Recommend distance to canopy is 10" to 14" and it covers 12 sqft.

so like 3x4 ish? or is it a weird shape footprint? im using 357 magnums right now and the sweet spot of the foot print is pretty small. going to sandwich a 500 watt black star in between em on a 4x8 table. hope itll up the PAR a shit ton

Oh ya that will do the job! I know what you are talking about with the sweet spot. I think a lot of LEDs have that issue, regardless of manufacturer. That us why 2 of anything works best for that issue. I think the magnum and blackstar would be the best of both worlds! I like the magnum also, just liked the better bang for the buck and the power draw on the 500

yeah i think its going to do nicely. im just finishing week 2 of my bloom cycle and they are pretty happy...having a tough time keeping the humidity down but they are thriving with no PM/algae or anything...ill let you know if theres a big difference with the extra 500w per table ;)

Flower Day 3:

It is getting bushy up in here! Here are the girls at 22-23 inches tall with the smallest at 15 inches tall. Looking green and stinky already! I might have been ok with just this 500 watter, but hey just another 500 to make sure things are done right doesnt hurt!

seems like your getting some stretching between your budding sites...its interesting cuz i am getting the same thing but i thought mine was from lack of light....yours have more than twice as many watts over head and its still doing it...maybe its the light distance from the canopy?

I was worried about the same thing, but this strain of OG is wirey and stretches by nature

Things are rocking out with just 1 500 watter right now! They are all about 23-25 inches tall now with the runt at 18 inches now. My other 500 comes on Wednesday and my bigger tent comes thursday. So Ill be all setup by Thursday with both 500s and the 4 x 4 grow tent. Im pretty impressed with just the one so far though. Tell Victor you saw my journal and maybe he will give you a discount!
