Enough for veg that they wont get too stretchy.
But dont expect to get more then 20grams after harvest and dry.
4 Decent DIY Cobs and youd get that per plant with a lot less wasted power.

also them led bulbs with the plastic or glass tops work better if you remove the plastic or glass out the way you don`t need it to be defused

Yup they give off a lot more light without the glass dome on them. I would be careful removing that though.

The 9w led ( 60w ) without glass cover tested at 20k lux around 3-4 inches.

I was trying to see if that type would really do anything. :)

I got a deal for 800$ on 2 Kind K3 L600 LED Panels. What should be the height I set these at? what kind of yield can I expect now with 6 plants in a 5x5x8 room with both of these LED? there rated at 320W Each

At their stage of growth I would say 20-24".. How much you yield is up to you... not the lights..
6 plants can yield 6 oz or 12lbs.. somewhere in between!!

I'm trying to figure out what my plants need... 1 of my plants are showing purple stems up towards the top of the plants. Should I cut the tips of the top set of leaves or leave them? I posted some pictures. If anyone notices anything let me know please.IMG_0589.JPG IMG_0590.JPG IMG_0591.JPG IMG_0593.JPG IMG_0594.JPG IMG_0602.JPG

It could just be strain related, not all purple stems are a sign of deficiency or problems.
Cant see a fan in there so if you haven't got one get one. I assume you have an extractor fan for heat and air exchange?
If its 31 degrees C its a bit hot.:eyesmoke:

Also I'm not sure what you mean by cut the tips of the leaves off? If you mean top them them or fim then by all means do that but look up the correct way to do so.

I was checking out your setup and noticed your nutes on the floor..
I think if you look it says to store them in a cool dark place.. I think they degrade from light and heat... and yes top em....
Nice setup!

I notice my PH level keeps climbing throughout the day and I am constantly having to lower PH.. I don't have any fan setup yet other then the 16 fans in the leds pushing air out, I do have a 4x1 vent in the room so it isn't completely closed off. Its reading 31% Humidity, 81F. What humidity and temp do I shoot for? Temp of the room ? or the temp by the leaves under the light where I have my gauge now?

Thanks for the tip with the solution on the floor!

Your fine with that temp. I couldn't read the thermometer well enough to see if it was the temp but assumed it wasn't the humidity because that's a bit low. My climate is different though. Even if you don't have temp problems you want to extract to exchange air, that is vital. If your space is open then you could just put a good oscillating fan in there and that will move the plant and make them stronger and move the air around them.
