I dont know why you keep arguing in favor of using MORE wattage, because you will be harvesting less.
You just pushed my point even further by insisting you are providing so much wattage/light for your 7 lil plants.
What really matter is
Wattage (W) used in ratio to final quality and then quantity of product (P).
W> P =
(if you fall under .5 grams per watt of Decent smoke, you are not doing well at all)
W=P
W,P is like wow barely ever even heard of let alone proven
get it?
Simplified- You are using WAY more then what you will get out of it.
Example- I am using 96W 2ft T5's for 28 starts. Im only increasing light as plants increase in size/maturity and actual use of the light.
Example- You are using what you claim to be around 650W for 7 small plants, that (If you keep consistent to current practices) will be overgrown by my plants in 4 weeks.
