highcontrast Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I used em for a few grows, worked great in a little space for me. iirc i used a mix of 2700k and 3500k. seedlings always preferred one bulb in particular but i can't remember which I've missed having a veg space again so i have been messing around with some led tape at the mo, i seem to have ok top growth but very poor root production. these are roughly 2/3 weeks ish. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
