Go check out Scynce light recipes and whatnot if you’re interested in how people run LEDs throughout the grow. HPS will do you a lot better than cheap LEDs too.

Just depends on what route you go down. I’d scrog four under it, but if you go SOG or just grow more upright plants you can fit more. I’ve seen people killing it with two of those in a 5’x5’ tent. The guys at that company are super cool with answering questions and whatnot too.

Always check with the manufacturer. Different LEDs will have different components that may require different hanging heights. Saying that, most of these new style units with the 3umol/J red and white diodes normally perform best between 40/70cm

I think that makes the most sense and she seems to be accepting it cheers, I even moved the plant and the fan closer, now at 12 inch lol. I'm monitoring it frequently to be safe but back of hand test is fine, these lights are most likely a bit less than half its true watt need to test it or change lights

According to Amazon page it draws 110-115w.
So it probably draws a 100w.
Get it closer

How's that for close haha, back of hand test is still okay, thanks for doing something I was too lazy to do bro 😁👍 and these leds are supposed to be 600w as well, quite a big gap between true watt and advertised watt, aside from over training her no wonder she's so small
