Can a Mars hydro Fc 4800 flower a 4x4?

You know what you're doing, I'm sure you'll get what you need out of it. There's ways to maximize the potential of that light just maybe your outer edges might lack a bit. People always forget about reflection off the tents. It raises the par by a fair bit. Just keep that main growth area under the footprint and keep the outer edge minimal.
Would be nice to add 2 bars to it tho

I don’t put up nets or anything so each watering I rotate the plants in and out of the middle of tent. Theses are also new seed plants (testers essentially)
so I have to keep an eye out on the genetics but it also helps maximize the lights potential for each plant.

That's one way of doing it. I prefer to cut loses and focus on buds that are 'worthwhile'. I feel as tho I'd be sacrificing that last % by sharing the light. I look at everything as a %. Start at 100 then every thing you fuck up takes a % out eg let's say you do the math and figure as an example that light is let's say 85% of what would be deemed adequate so already you're down 15% of what you COULD have done. Doesn't really mean shit just gives me an idea of what I could do with no fuck ups or slowdowns etc. I duno I'm baked does that make any FN sense ? Lol

I hear you but this is a area for testing new gear to bring into the stable so moving plants checking for balls letting them dry and wilt some they need to be beaten to prove themselves haha. Other areas are dialed in running proven clones. These are just fun side projects testing new gear

This is my FCE-3000 with the bridgelux diodes over a 3x3 scrog frame.

@MarsHydrofactory recommended it for flowering a 3x3 footprint.

the scrog is a little untamed as last time (with HPS) my canopy was only 8” deep and I wanted more vertical growth this time around especially to test out what this light could do as far as penetration was concerned.

So I stopped tucking at 10 days of 12/12 and allowed all vertical growth just to go wild.

I’m pretty impressed up to now compared with the 400w MH/HPS switch out I was using as this is 1 plant In 2 gallons of 100% coco.

Scrog frame is 3ft x 2.7ft.

I’m planning on flowering with a 400 watter in a 4x4. It’s abit Less light than I was using before but it may be just right. So far it’s working well.

400w is not ideal for a 4x4. Could even do better than the 480 this light puts out. But work with what you got I’m sure the end results will be nice either way
